About Adam Block
What a journey. From intern at Atlantic Records to President of Sony Music's Legacy Recordings, to a newly-created global CATALOG role at Amazon Music, to CEO of the legendary Morrison Hotel Gallery, there’s never been a dull moment. Along the way, I co-founded and remain a partner in the label and community-based cultural movement, Jazz Is Dead.Operating at the intersection of ART, TECHNOLOGY and COMMERCE, with the spirit of an entrepreneur, I’ve championed and marshalled extraordinary change and experimented with new channels and technologies to reach music lovers worldwide. STRATEGY, GROWTH, CULTURE TRANSFORMATION & EXECUTIONAt Amazon Music, we’re building a catalog music experience that reflects the way fans around the world engage with it: passionately and passively, intentionally and sometimes less so. We’ve created [RE]DISCOVER, a MARKETING program and platform UX, that immerses fans in the music and related-content, leading to the discovery (or rediscovery) of more - catalog AND new music alike. Behind this immersive, connected experience we’re establishing a catalog music culture that differentiates us from all other DSPs.At Legacy, we transformed the staid view of catalog music in the 21st century, raising awareness for classic artists and recordings that represent the finest musical expressions of our cultural history. As an ADVOCATE of ARTISTS, STAFF and NEW IDEAS, we re-imagined and/or invented highly acclaimed award winning projects. We signed and recorded active artists, driving fans to deeper engagement with their broader body of work. ➢Led label strategy and transition from physical to digital era➢ Drove operational excellence and YoY growth through creative A&R, asset management and marketing➢ Ensured a cohesive global catalog strategy with Sony Music staff in 40+ countries➢ Pioneered a culture of curiosity resulting in groundbreaking marketing & media partnerships➢ Initiated incorporation of data-informed decision making into label DNA ACCOMPLISHMENTS & ACCOLADES HIGHLIGHTS➢ Multiple Grammy Nominations/Awards➢ Superstar catalog acquisitions: AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Simon, Pink Floyd, & others ➢ Active artist signings: Willie Nelson, Pres Hall Band, Loretta Lynn & more ➢ Created groundbreaking, multi-award-winning interactive content: Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley & Miles Davis ➢ Reimagined Elvis Presley catalog with 2+ million-selling symphonic albums ➢ Film & TV work: American Epic, Ken Burns’ Jazz, Paul Simon: Under African Skies, Preservation Hall's A Tuba to Cuba & more

Jazz Is Dead
At heart, Jazz Is Dead is a cultural movement. It's low-key shout out to all who love real music and a bright flare fired at anyone who might hold false pretense about the greatest American art form, Jazz, and the indomitable spirit of creativity, curiosity and risk-taking that's at its core. In essence, Jazz Is Dead is a brazen narrative driving grassroots activity and a community we nurture and support. And then more tangibly, Jazz Is Dead is an expansive multi-media business: a modern music label, an events company, and a film, television and commensurate media agency. Jazz Is Dead is a new home for jazz and jazz-adjacent art and expression in a time so desperate for a fresh, inclusive, unifying idea to turn to.

Global Head Of Catalog Music
Representing about 70% of all music consumed, catalog music is the industry’s lifeblood. It is foundational to artists and managers, to labels, to DSPs and most of all, to music fans. When I joined Amazon Music, I proposed creating a catalog culture like no other DSP’s, one that integrates catalog fully and seamlessly with the rest of the business, exactly the way it does into fans lives. Subsequently, I conceived of, developed and launched Amazon Music’s global catalog brand, [RE]DISCOVER. [RE]DISCOVER is a marketing program and platform, reflected to customers in roughly 2000 [RE]DISCOVER, [RE]DUX: The Artist in Context, and [RE]IMAGINED: Covers playlists, the [RE]DISCOVER Artist of the Month initiative, and branded livestreams, DJ Mode stations, podcasts, social content, Amazon Originals, merch and physical music sales, and more. More than just a series of playlists, [RE]DISCOVER deliberately plays off the joy of music discovery (or re-discovery) by offering music fans a compelling, connected and deeply immersive experience with the artists and music that matters to them most.
