What Gatefold does on Jazz Day
Three records you already own. One thread you didn’t know was there.
Most apps treat Jazz Day as a playlist. We treat it as a search. Gatefold pulls the jazz lineage out of your shelf — not just your Coltrane records, but the rock albums that quote him, the hip-hop records that sample him, the producers who learned their craft on Blue Note sessions. Three years ago Mark Sandman wrote a song called “Miles Davis’ Funeral.” If Cure for Pain is on your shelf, Jazz Day is on your shelf.

Kamasi Washington plays sax on it. Robert Glasper produced. Half the rhythm section came up through the LA jazz circuit. The DNA is direct.

Listen to the harp on "Everything in Its Right Place." Listen to it again. Then listen to Alice Coltrane's harp from 1971. You're hearing the same impulse 30 years apart.
See your spin
Every morning, one record.
On Jazz Day, that record threads.
Gatefold scans your collection nightly and surfaces a daily “Spin” — one record from your shelf, with the Clerk’s notes on why it’s the right one for today. On Jazz Day, the rules tighten: jazz lineage gets weighted heavier, themed shelves surface (The Standards, The After-Hours, The Set List), and the Clerk leans into the day without forcing it.
Find your jazz bloodline.
Sign up, import your collection, and Gatefold has your Jazz Day spin ready by morning. Free. No credit card. Your records stay yours.
