Future Jazz Showcase: Mad Keys, Snazzback & More

We’re showcasing some of the most exciting rising stars in jazz—artists who have been on our radar for months, ready to make their mark.

 

Leading the night is Mad Keys, the St. Louis-born producer and keyboardist who’s fast becoming a force in the future-jazz movement. Blending jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music with effortless style, his sound is bold, immersive, and impossible to ignore. With a Soulection White Label EP, standout collaborations, and a recent European tour with Oddisee & Good Compny, Mad Keys bridges classic analog warmth with sharp, forward-thinking production.

 

Joining the line-up are boundary-breaking 7-piece Snazzback, known for fusing jazz with broken beat, bass, and Bristol’s underground energy. Their latest EP Within and Without channels everything from jungle to garage, pairing global vocal collaborations with a love for live improvisation and deep grooves.

 

From genre-defying sets to unforgettable live energy, the night promises artistry and intimate energy, highlighting the finest rising talent.
