AI.Love.Jazz Full Show premiere on YouTube

Hey everyone!

As some of you know, Stella Sypher was one of the semi-finalists in the AI.LOVE.JAZZ contest. We ran into some technical issues and couldn't live-stream during the event itself - but the good news is the full recordings are on YouTube, and they're premiering tomorrow, August 6th:

Grand Opening → 14:00 CET https://youtu.be/5H7EyIi0N-s?si=3BqqqQEHFcFAYCTF
Grand Finale Gala → 16:00 CET https://youtu.be/ivLKONH-4yk?si=IRPRY1xOiyXyXWZQ

You'll get to see the whole thing unfold - Stella performing her AI track live on stage, plus all 15 semi-finalists brought to life by the band. Thanks for being patient, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this.

We're really excited to keep giving upcoming artists a stage - more contests, content and masterclasses are coming soon. www.ailovejazz.com

And a question for the community: what's your biggest challenge as an AI musician right now? Is it promotion, monetization, recognition etc?

AI songs that'll be played by a REAL band in Montreux during the festival??

This sounds crazy but it's actually real... These guys from AI Love Jazz are running a music contest, and the top song will be performed on stage by real musicians.
What's your take on that? Have you seen anything like this before? Feels like the moment AI is finally blending with the music industry - and it's not as hated as you'd think. I composed songs with Suno AI myself and happy to see such initatives.

AI Jazz Music Contest | AI LOVE JAZZ - Montreux 2026

Hello everyone! AI-Jazz has happened - and we give it a stage!

Behind every great track there's a person with real taste making the calls, and we want to put that on display. AI.LOVE.JAZZ is a global contest for AI Jazz music, set in the heart of Montreux during the Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland.

  • Open to genres - Jazz · Soul · Funk · Blues · Rock 
  • Any AI tool is welcome - Suno, Udio etc.
  • A jury of music and industry experts picks the top 15
  • Those 15 tracks are performed live at the festival by a band of human musicians interpreting AI-made music
  • The winner is announced at the main Gala on July 10

The winning track becomes the first "AI Jazz Star" - a permanent star installed in Montreux, where Freddie Mercury and David Bowie recorded. The same town whose festival stage has hosted Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Prince, and Frank Sinatra.

Deadline: June 15
Submit here: https://ailovejazz.com/contest
Free to Enter

I'm one of the organizers - happy to answer anything in the comments. Excited to build this movement together! :)

AI Jazz Music is Trash! - here I can prove you wrong...

Yes and no.

AI jazz music made by someone who just hits generate and walks away? Trash. Absolutely. No argument.

But here's the thing nobody wants to admit - Coltrane "stole" everything from Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins. We just don't call it theft when a human does it. Every musician learns from what came before. AI just does it faster and at scale.

The real question isn't "is AI music real music." It's who is behind it.

I've been making AI music for years. One rock opera took six months and 1,400 generated tracks before I got what I wanted. That's not pressing a button. That's producing. One third prompting, one third lyrics, one third knowing when to throw it in the trash and start over.

We also put a balalaika in a jazz track on our radio. Nobody's done that before. You can't call that lazy - you can't even call that traditional. That's what AI gives you: freedom to try combinations that would cost a fortune with real session musicians.

FYI: There is a AI Jazz music contest happening right now at www.ailovejazz.com. This week's prize is a 1-year Suno subscription. I just submitted mine. Cross fingers!
