Butter and the Genre Release “Music Is Life”

Butter and the Genre, a multigenerational jazz collective led by Gregory “Butter” Haubrich, has released their powerful new single, “Music Is Life.” Distributed worldwide through The Orchard, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, Music Is Life honors the rich legacy of jazz while inviting a new generation to connect through sound and soul.

“Music is the heartbeat of life — and this song is our way of sharing that joy with the world,” said Haubrich. “Jazz comes from a place of resilience, soul, and innovation. We’re carrying that forward.”

With lush horn arrangements, expressive trumpet melodies, and heartfelt vocals, the track blends timeless jazz influences with an energizing modern edge. It sets the tone for the group’s upcoming debut album, slated for release later this year.

Butter and the Genre brings together seasoned musicians and emerging talent, reflecting the true spirit of collaboration. Inspired by artists like Miles Davis, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Frank Sinatra, the group is committed to keeping jazz vibrant, accessible, and evolving for future generations.

The band is also focused on building spaces where creativity, culture, and heritage come together.

“Butter and the Genre is bigger than a band,” Haubrich added. “It’s about preserving legacy and inspiring the next wave.”

“Music Is Life” is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
