Early Morgan and of course more so in your head focus back and enjoy the cafe on the Jazz. This time from that little cafe on the. Little record is I think one of these great American stories. Was who was totally what you call an indie label who started by these 2 guys who can move from Germany in 1939 and just love American jazz outlined in France coming to America finding and being attracted to these African-Americans playing this music in the late thirty's you know deciding that they should a whole hearted guy that this process and this music because they heard it a different way and then follow his trajectory for 75 years now up till today is a is quite an achievement what makes.

Ring and. I am full of shit. To do independent labels the 1st one was Commodore. 1937 and then in 1938. 1939. And these were labels that were created by essentially. The new. The record learned very quickly. The way that we. Plenty. Plenty of the founders of the 1939 left a manifesto for the good of the left the man manifesto. And a couple of short paragraphs but it's basically a benefit. Mission of making uncompromising music that's rooted in authenticity to continue to keep the energy that much passion and energy in a record label. The recording industry it's very easy to lose passion in the recording industry has really consistently tried to maintain that integrity that level of excellence. And that's what we need to. Say. We have to take 5 minutes. I don't know how i'm sure enough after you get. With. With with the for. Us. I can only. In a very personal way because I came of age in the sixty's and it was a time when music rock and roll and r. And b. And jazz was changing and what was changing was that the anger and the frustration that a lot of us felt socially and politically was creeping into the music because a lot of musicians felt just as ranged and frustrated they were a part of the movement just as much Mark King was you know they were the sounds of musicians like Max Roach really kind of put it forward that we want freedom what you want now John Coltrane you know writing songs like spiritual or for little girls dedicated to the girls who were killed in a bombing in Birmingham Alabama. Writing a song about the kids in Little Rock Arkansas trying to go to high school and his distaste for the governor Governor. This great composer writes a song called Fables of fathers all about this you know that is happening. Is about change by constant change it's built into the d.n.a. Of the music. But it's always been about revolution my poetry is the scream of protest. I sound the alarm and I shouted after a peep here that. It . the phenomenon really exploded when when. We Morgan came back to music activity in the late in 63 convert the Blue Note and the car then album and. One of the tunes was it was $44.00 bar blues called the Sidewinder and it was just another album they didn't. Morgan You know I'll from wanting to know but it exploded. The the day came out and it exploded it just went through the roof. And became like the 1st really major hit for Blue Note and the 45 it was jukeboxes everywhere it was on t.v. Commercials it was all over the place and it was on the pop charts you know we're in the top 20. And it just. Resonated with people and became incredibly popular You're listening to the sonic cafe on the side. There was a label was about revolution and change and radical there was a. Look at for initially. There was a blue note usually identifiable but you don't hear it coming from any other label it has to do with the unique musician trying to live by a little thing on its course and bring him a passionate pure operation it's a label that people respond to deeply and I think it tracks. Every generation that track services. For the whole I just. Came forward and you can't move forward you have to have enough people coming along who. Know the tradition in order to in order to break them you know. Really for. The. This is from. Anything Rand thank you for. The frequent can't. Live.
