Dear All About Jazz Editorial Team, I hope this message finds you well and that your work continues to celebrate and advance the jazz community. My name is Maja Jaku, a jazz vocalist, composer, and Professor (Head of the Singing/Vocal Department) at JAM Music Lab University in Vienna. I recently released my new album, Blessed & Bewitched (Origin Records, October 17, 2025), and I would be honored to have it considered for a review, feature, or interview in All About Jazz. About the Album Blessed & Bewitched blends five original compositions with two reimagined jazz classics, recorded between New York City and Vienna with an international ensemble featuring Johnathan Blake (drums), Michael Rodriguez (trumpet), Dezron Douglas (bass), and others. The album bridges the intimacy and elegance of golden-era jazz with modern, deeply personal sensibilities. Highlights: • Charted #217 on the JazzWeek Top 400 • Spotify audience grew from 16 to over 4,000 monthly listeners in two weeks • Media coverage & airplay include All About Jazz, Paris-Move, JazzBlues.EU, Tom Hull, HighResAudio, Women in Jazz Media, Ben Bodie Radio, and Jazz Horizons About Me As a woman, mother, and lifelong musician, I have dedicated over 35 years to jazz — performing, composing, and teaching. Born in Kosovo, I left home during the war to pursue jazz in Austria and have built my life’s work around honest, high-quality music and the empowerment of others through art and education. I would be deeply grateful for the opportunity to share Blessed & Bewitched with your readers and would be happy to provide a high-resolution press copy or schedule an interview at your convenience.
