Our Review Policy
Thanks to our international network of artists, record labels, promoters and collaborators, In&OutJAZZ receives a large number of albums and releases from around the world throughout the year.
We listen to and consider as many submissions as possible. However, due to the volume of music we receive, we are not able to review every release.
Our editorial selection is based on artistic quality, originality, creative approach and its connection with the editorial vision of In&OutJAZZ. We only publish reviews of music that genuinely engages our editorial team and that we believe is relevant to our readers.
If your album is not reviewed, this does not necessarily mean that we have not listened to it. It may be because:
- We have not yet had the opportunity to listen to it.
- It falls outside our current editorial focus.
- We have selected other releases for publication at that particular time.
- Our editorial schedule does not allow us to cover every submission.
We appreciate every submission and the trust that artists and labels place in In&OutJAZZ when sharing their work with us.
