Our Virtual Festival Merch Stand Is Open for Business
With concerts and festivals around the world cancelled and artists struggling to make ends meet, we teamed up with the iconic Newport Jazz Festival for an online charitable musical program: Highsnobiety Jazz TV.
Over the space of three days we're taking the Newport Jazz Festival online with performances from the likes of Virgil Abloh, Kamaal Williams, and many more.
A love letter to creativity; we’re marking the occasion with an exclusive clothing and accessories drop, too. A portion of all proceeds is going to the Newport Festival Musician Relief Fund, which is providing financial relief to musicians experiencing a loss of income as a result of the pandemic.
Jazz has long been an inspiration for thinkers and designers, and fashion has flirted with the genre on more than one occasion. In recent years, collections such as Carhartt’s Spring/Summer 2019 capsule paid tribute to the iconic Fela Kuti, while Stüssy’s All That Jazz suggested the Californian brand's debt to the art.
In honor of Jazz's wide-reaching cultural influence and the artists performing over our virtual festival period, we've curated a virtual merch stand and you can browse it below.
Scroll on for our virtual festival merch stand.
Stüssy All That Jazz Mug
Stüssy's famous font details one side of this ceramic mug while the other features the accompanying 'All That Jazz' trumpet-player silhouette.
Kamaal Williams 'The Return'
Kamaal Williams, who you may know as Henry Wu, stands as one of the brightest talents in the new era of jazz music. Debuting his new label Black Focus, The Return exhibits his South London-inspired sensibilities alongside wild jazz talent.
Miles Davis Bitches Brew T-Shirt
Miles Davis' career spanned almost 50 years and landed him legendary status. Held as one of the 20th century's most influential musicians, it's only right that he gets prime position in your wardrobe.
Ashley Henry 'Beautiful Vinyl Hunter'
Ashley Henry's sound is the perfect entry into jazz from a modern standpoint, taking cues from modern and classic hip-hop as well as the archives of soul. Beautiful Vinyl Hunter is a strong statement of intent from the British artist.
Highsnobiety Newport Jazz Tote
Went to the festival, got the tote? This classic canvas tote features two handles and a retro-style graphic courtesy of yours truly.
Nubya Garcia Source Black Vinyl Edition
Nubya Garcia's award-winning saxophone playing is just one of the things to wonder over on Source. You might also focus on the stunning storytelling or wide-ranging genre inspirations that make this record an instant classic.
BBNG Cactus T-Shirt
BADBADNOTGOOD may not have the history that Miles Davis does, but this group, formed in 2010, has changed the face of modern jazz with a cocktail of punchy instrumental expertise and high-profile collaborations.
Fela Kuti Live Photo T-Shirt
Fela Kuti's sound is one of the most recognizable and energetic in the world. His creative force touched all sides of life, from political activism to his unforgettable discography.
Highsnobiety Jazz Ensemble T-Shirt
Immortalize our three-day celebration of jazz in all its forms with this pared-back graphic tee cut from super-soft pure cotton.
Sun Ra 101 Verse T-Shirt
If you've never seen a Sun Ra performance, we'd recommend heading to YouTube to do so. Sun Ra's other-worldly presence came in the form of experimental jazz and a strong philosophy imparted on his many, many fellow musicians.
William Claxton Jazzlife
Few genres are as interesting to journey into as jazz. The jazz landscape stretches far and wide, and if you're looking to learn a bit more about it, William Claxton's Jazzlife is as good a place to start as any.
Highsnobiety Newport Jazz Cap
Merch should be simple and to-the-point. This basic baseball cap is just that. Embroidered text to the front and sides pops from a jet-black backdrop.
A Tribe Called Quest Jazz We'Ve Got T-Shirt
A Tribe Called Quest is as refreshing to listen to today as it was in the '80s. The group, composed of Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jarobi White, brought a new sound to hip-hop which was firmly rooted in jazz style.
