El hard bop, todavía vivo
Los Ángeles, Estados Unidos · 1994 · Fundado por Marc Free
El sello que documenta el hard bop del siglo XXI, fundado en 1994 por el productor Marc Free (hoy operado desde Los Ángeles junto al ingeniero Nick O’Toole). Trabaja como los sellos clásicos de jazz: una stable de músicos que rota y se cruza entre los discos de todos —Ralph Bowen, Jared Gold, Behn Gillece—, con sesiones de órgano, vibráfono y saxo de swing directo. El straight-ahead sigue vivo, y acá se graba prolijo y seguido.
