Amazon Prime Video recently launched a new music-centric channel called The Coda Collection. The channel features a curated selection of iconic concert films, music documentaries and episodes of music-related series from some of the biggest names in music spanning decades and genres.
Among the artists with titles in The Coda Collection are John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Jason Isbell, My Morning Jacket, Wu Tang Clan, Tyler Childers and more. The jam scene is well represented with concerts from Dead & Company, Phish’s December 30, 2019 instant classic at MSG and Trey Anastasio’s Ghosts Of The Forest Beacon Jams. The collection also features Widespread Panic‘s 2019 Halloween concert from New Orleans, The String Cheese Incident’s July 21 show from Red Rocks and Dave Matthews Band’s June 29, 2019 concert in Indiana.
Additionally, The Coda Collection features an editorial component led by former Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot. Kot put together a team of music writers, critics and cultural commentators to provide deeper context on the artists and their performances as well as editorial pieces, video interviews, original podcasts and curated playlists.
The Coda Collection is headed up by CEO Jim Spinello, director/producer John McDermott, Experience Hendrix’s Janie Hendrix, the Estate of John Lennon represented by Yoko Ono and more.
“Our love for music and fascination for its history, pioneers, and continuing journey is what drives us,” McDermott said in a statement. “Music fans want more than just song streams and promotional videos. They want concerts, documentaries, they want cultural context – and maybe most of all – they want to understand the stories behind the art and the artist. That’s how fans connect to one another, and to music itself.”
Jimi Hendrix’s sister Janie also shared some thoughts. Read her words below:
The way the world appreciates music is evolving and changing. The Coda Collection is how we grow with that change. It transcends basic music streaming and takes fans on a real journey into the heart of the songs they love and the artists, like Jimi Hendrix, who created those songs. There will always be the desire to know more about Jimi, and what drove his creativity. So much went into his concerts and performances. There was background, a backstory, and depth to it all. Coda reveals all the various dimensions, and I’m proud to be a part of making it happen.
“John [Lennon] was always on the cutting edge of music and culture,” Ono added. “The Coda Collection will be a new way for fans to connect on a deeper level.”
