February is one of the coldest months of the year—frost-covered landscapes, short days, and chilling air. Yet, this month can also transform into a cozy experience when accompanied by jazz music. Jazz is a world where emotions are freely expressed, and the flow of chords and melodies challenge boundaries. In February, the power of jazz can be felt across a wide spectrum, from nostalgic melancholy to exuberant optimism.

These artists show how jazz can adapt to the present day while blending with different genres.
