Jazz Suave

Jazz Suave (2027) is a Spanish-American documentary you can watch online on iFILM — a lean 60-minute look at young musicians trying to make a living off jazz in New York City.

Director José Estella puts himself in front of the camera alongside the musicians he's filming — Juan Escartín, Erika Toda, Michael Thomas and a rotating cast of players — all wrestling with the same math: rent doesn't care how good your solo was.

Sixty minutes is exactly enough to strip away the glamour — no concert posters, just rehearsal basements and day jobs between sets. Stream Jazz Suave on iFILM for an honest look at what it actually costs to chase a career in jazz.
