NYC’s Birdland, Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, the Iridium, the Jazz Standard and the Village Vanguard refuse to pay into a pension fund that would allow jazz artists to retire with dignity. Sign the petition below and tell the club owners to do right by the musicians who make them rich.

“I urge club owners to stop the exploitation of jazz musicians that has deprived them of a basic livelihood. Respecting the artistry of jazz musicians means offering a fair pay scale, pension contributions, protection of recording rights and a grievance process to address abuses. In these ways, jazz clubs can show their esteem for the men and women who sustain this great American art form.”
