About
Based in NYC, JazzTrail is the product of the collaborative work between a compulsive listener with a passion for jazz and a sharp observer whose photography captures the expressiveness of musical moments.
Clara Pereira (photographer)
At some point in her childhood, Clara Pereira really believed she was an alien. Instead, she became a photographer and graphic designer (with special powers) who couldn’t be more human since her joy comes from earthly things such as coffee, a glass of good red wine, and TV shows.

Filipe Freitas (writer)
Filipe Freitas was an electrical engineer in a previous life.
Now, completely reborn, he writes about jazz and movies, which is much more electrifying.
He gets extremely happy whenever a bag of tortilla chips is around and his soul rejoices when he plays guitar.

album submissions
Submission & Admin Fee Policy
We welcome album submissions from artists and labels whose sound fits our stylistic interests. Given the volume of requests we receive, we can only fit so many into our regular review schedule.
For submissions outside that schedule, we offer paid reviews for an admin fee. This fee compensates the time and effort that goes into listening, writing, and publishing a review — it's one of the ways we keep the site independent, without relying on sponsorships or intrusive advertising.
Please note: paying the admin fee does not guarantee a positive review. It covers our time and work, not the outcome. We aim to give every submission a fair and honest listen, regardless of the fee.
Response times vary based on current submission volume — thanks in advance for your patience.
If you have any questions about the process, feel free to reach out before submitting.
Before you submit:

releaseWe'll get back to you within 10 days if your album is selected for review.
