Happy 51st Birthday, Old Town School of Folk Music - Thank you, Colleen and Nick! Happy 55th Birthday, Delmark Records
Delmark is also excited to announce our 55th Anniversary CD and DVD compilations for fall release! (end of Oct.)
Delmark * 55 Years of Jazz (Delmark DE-914) - Contains one CD and one DVD!
After wearing out Delmark's 2003 set celebrating 50 years of great jazz, you probably thought you were going to have to wait at least until 2013 for another such anniversary collection. But when you've got a rich catalog like Delmark's, and a label head like Bob Koester who is committed to keep expanding that catalog, why not seize every opportunity to throw a party for your enterprise--and all the great artists behind the candles on the cake? CD features Coleman Hawkins, Sun Ra, George Lewis, Curtis Fuller, Deep Blue Organ Trio, Francine Griffin, and more. DVD features Nicole Mitchell, Ari Brown, Fred Anderson, Chicago Underground Trio , and more.
Delmark * 55 Years of Blues (Delmark DE-915) - Contains one CD and one DVD!
Delmark's 55th anniversary blues bash at Buddy Guy's Legends on March 7, 2008 was suitably festive, with most of Delmark's local blues roster on hand and a Delmark Day proclamation from Mayor Daley.The role that Bob Koester, his label, and his Jazz Record Mart have played since relocating some fifty years ago from St. Louis in nurturing and furthering the Chicago blues scene have broadened its horizons and benefitted virtually everyone involved in some way. CD features Junior Wells, Magic Sam, Otis Rush, Speckled Red, Willie Kent, and more. DVD features Tail Dragger, Byther Smith, Jimmy Burns, Zora Young's performance from the 55th anniversary bash, and more.
