“Music is a world in itself: a unique journey across centuries, cultures, people, and genres. Jazz is fundamental in the evolution of all music and it was only natural that medici.tv, being a window into music history, included jazz in its repertoire. This rich and inventive art form has established itself as a true classic: Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald or Keith Jarrett have become milestones in the same way as Ravel, Stravinsky, Gershwin and Bernstein did in the 20th century.

medici.tv exists for all types of music. In that sense, jazz is part of the same musical journey as classical music.”
