We Jazz Magazine returns for its nineteenth issue with Milestones, a summer 2026 edition placing Miles Davis at its centre. Published by the Helsinki-based We Jazz Records, the magazine has established itself as one of the most thoughtfully produced periodicals in contemporary jazz culture — a keepsake-quality publication that treats the music with the same seriousness and aesthetic care that the finest record labels bring to their releases. Each issue takes its title from its cover subject, and issue 19 is no exception: Milestones is both a nod to one of Davis's landmark albums and a statement of intent about the depth of coverage within.

The Miles Davis feature draws on a remarkable roster of writers — Alex Coles, Phil Freeman, Tony Higgins, Ashley Kahn, Tadayuki Naitoh, and Anton Spice — approaching the trumpeter's vast legacy from multiple angles. Beyond the cover story, the issue ranges widely across the spectrum of creative music: Pierre Crépon and Francis Gooding explore Spiritual Jazz; Wif Stenger profiles Latvian vocalist Kadi Vija; Tom Toremans turns his attention to Norwegian bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten; Giulio Pecci writes on experimental saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson; Rob Garratt profiles rising British saxophonist Emma Rawicz; and Gareth Allen revisits the enduring significance of Courtney Pine. As ever, Mats Gustafsson contributes his beloved Discaholic column, alongside album reviews, live coverage, and more.
