    at least they chose the right artists. of all the jazz ive heard, those are the ones who are most relatable, especially art blakey.

    First 3 comments need to get real I agree with Nilk, this might open up peoples ears to something they might’ve never heard

    and if the artists families want to get paid for this they should’ve come up with the idea, they didn’t, so I have no problem with Wacko Maria getting paid

    Im a huge jazz fan too. As far as I am concerned this just connects these artists to an audience who might miss out on their greatness. Long live greatness…As for royalties tell their families to go make their own way. These guys worked too hard for their families to assume a free ride.

    Im a huge jazz fan and i wont be going anywhere near these. I hope this company is at least paying the estates of these artists for use of their name and likeness. if not, prepare to get sued.

    rather than be creative and come up with some original design, lets just make a few quick bucks off the corpses of dead artists. nice one.
