Jazzed Media also produces and distributes jazz documentaries utilizing leading edge production techniques and extensive interview segments of jazz greats.
Recently the latest Jazzed Media film Bud Shank "Against the Tide" was awarded a 2009 EMPixx Gold Award. The documentary film was produced and directed by multi-Grammy nominated and award winning filmmaker Graham Carter, founder of Jazzed Media. Jazzed Media produces jazz CDs and documentary jazz films. This is the fourth national award for the Bud Shank "Against the Tide" documentary film. Previously the film was awarded a 2008 Aurora Award-Gold, a 2008 Telly Awards-Bronze, and a 2008 Videographer Award of Distinction.
Artists appearing on the Jazzed Media label include Phil Woods, Bud Shank, Terry Gibbs, Bill Holman, Bob Florence, Bill Charlap, Brian Lynch, Hubert Laws, Marvin Stamm, Bill Mays, Carl Saunders, Don Menza, Christian Jacob, Irene Kral, Jackie & Roy, Bob Lark, Jim McNeely, Mel Martin, Benny Carter, Frank Tiberi, Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton, Jeff Clayton, Lorraine Feather, Judy Wexler, Frank Derrick, and Matt Wilson.
"Jazzed Media continues to be a major force on the mainstream jazz scene in releasing nothing but impeccable sessions either by our living jazz masters, i.e., Bud Shank, Phil Woods, Bill Holman, and Terry Gibbs - or tribute cds by lesser known talent that deserve wider recognition such as Ira Nepus and Steve Moore. Thanks go out to Graham Carter, who in roughly five short years has made Jazzed Media into a top tier jazz label keeping the true jazz tradition alive."
