Brooklyn Jazz Underground is a jazz music association founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 2007. The association was formed by ten musicians to promote their work.[1] In 2008, the association started a record label, Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records.[2][3]

Founding members of the association include Tanya Kalmonovitch, Alan Ferber, Alexis Cuadrado, Shane Endsley, Benny Lackner, Dan Pratt, Jerome Sabbagh, Anne Mette Iversen, Sunny Jain, and Ted Poor. In 2006, Kalmonovitch talked about the idea with Ferber and Cuadrado. They began their venture with performances at Smalls Jazz Club.[1]

The record label was founded in 2008 with the intent to give musicians more control over their work. Early albums included Puzzles by Alexis Cuadrado, Night for Day by Bernard Emer Lackner, and the double album Best of the West and Many Places by Anne Mette Iversen.[2]
