Music is the heartbeat of life—and this song is our way of sharing that joy with the world.

Butter and the Genre Announces “Music Is Life”—A New Jazz Single Bridging Generations
New single drops May 9, 2025 via The Orchard.
Butter And The Genre, the multigenerational jazz collective led by seasoned musician Gregory “Butter” Haubrich, is set to release their new single “Music Is Life” on May 9, 2025. Distributed worldwide through The Orchard (a division of Sony Music Entertainment), the track captures the soulful energy and uplifting spirit that defines the band’s signature sound.
“Music is the heartbeat of life — and this song is our way of sharing that joy with the world," says Haubrich. “We wanted to remind people that jazz is alive, soulful, and still has the power to bring people together."
Blending smooth trumpet melodies, expressive vocals, rich horn arrangements, and an infectious vibe, “Music Is Life” delivers a feel-good jazz anthem that feels both timeless and fresh. The track serves as the lead single from the band’s upcoming debut album of the same name, set to release later this year.
Butter And The Genre’s lineup bridges generations, bringing together a veteran musician and rising talents to create a sound that honors the traditions of jazz while pushing it into new, exciting directions. Inspired by legends like Miles Davis, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Frank Sinatra, the band’s mission is to make jazz accessible, energizing, and deeply connected to community.
In support of the new release, the band is also gearing up for a series of live performances. These shows promise to bring the band’s soulful energy to the stage, giving fans a first chance to experience “Music Is Life” live.
“Butter And The Genre is about community,” says Haubrich. “We want every listener to feel like they’re part of the band, part of the experience.”
“Music Is Life” will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more.
