Nublu Records is an independent recording company founded by Swedish–Turkish musician, composer, cultural activist and entrepreneur, (Ilhan Ersahin ), in 2005. It was a natural extension of the "Nublu sound" that developed at the club, Nublu, on New York's Lower East Side, founded by Ersahin in 2002. Capturing the cross-cultural fusion of the times, and embracing the beatnik jazz tradition for which the area has been known since the 1950s, an unofficial family of bands soon congregated around the club, which was known for its freewheeling late night jams. As more and more outfits formed, setting up Nublu Records was a logical progression.〔(JazzTimes )〕 ==Bands Formed at Nublu== The core of the Nublu record label roster is projects of Ersahin's, and of friends who came together because of the Nublu Club. First among them was Wax Poetic, a jazzy trip-hop poetry collective which pre-dates Nublu, as they first played at the louche after-hours club Save the Robots on Avenue B. Serious singers like the young Norah Jones and Bebel Gilberto, have passed through their ranks.〔(Marla Turner )〕 Wax Poetic gravitated to Nublu Records when their deal with Atlantic Records was up (they were signed by Ersahin's friend, pioneering Turkish jazz producer Ahmet Ertegun, who founded Atlantic.)〔(Inside Playa )〕 After starting the label, Ersahin used the Wax Poetic name as an umbrella for a trilogy of albums for Nublu Records, reflecting territories with which he felt a deep connection and using local musicians: “Copenhagen” (2006),〔(AllMusic, Copenhagen )〕 "Brasil" (2007)〔(AllMusic, Brasil )〕 and "Istanbul"(2007.)〔(AllMusic, Istanbul )〕 Another band stemming from the Nublu club's earliest days is (Love Trio ). They sprang directly from the transition between Ersahin's decade working his way up at the Sweet Basil Jazz Club in the West Village, and the start of Nublu. His regular Saturday brunch sessions at Sweet Basil became the basis for many musical collaborations, as the Nublu club jams were to do later. Love Trio includes musicians from that pre-Nublu period: Californian bassist Jesse Murphy (who went on to play with Brazilian Girls,) and drummer Kenny Wollesen known for his work with Tom Waits. Their first Nublu release, "Love Trio," (2003) featured Ersahin's longtime partner, legendary trumpeter Eddie Henderson, vocalist Marla Turner, Kenny Wollesen, Jesse Murphy and DJ Logic.〔(Discogs )〕 Three years later, Love Trio released "In Dub," showcasing the original toasting (rapping) of Jamaican DJ legend U-Roy, a childhood hero of Ersahin's who helped turn him onto Jamaican music in his teens.〔(XLR8R review )〕〔(Barnes & Noble )〕 Vocalists Marla Turner and Sabina Sciubba, singer of The Brazilian Girls, also appear on the album. Love Trio performed with Arto Tuncboyaciyan in 2013.〔(Pozitif Live )〕 Arguably the original soul of Nublu was its presiding genius, Lawrence "Butch" Morris, the creator of the (Conduction ) sound. For ten years until his death in 2013, Morris, who lived on nearby East 7th Street, made Nublu his experimental laboratory and base. Conduction is a method of controlled improvisation, in which Morris, or the conductor, leads a group of players through music s/he is improvising, using the baton, coded ideographic gestures and body language identified with different notes, tempos and textures, to create spontaneous music of great emotionality.〔(NY Times obituary )〕 The Nublu Orchestra drew on the Nublu crew of bands and musicians, including Ersahin, his longtime collaborator, trumpeters Eddie Henderson, cornettist Graham Haynes and members of the Nublu bands and associates, Didi Gutman, Jesse Murphy and Sabina Sciubba, Wax Poetic, Kudu's Sylvia Gordon, Forro in the Dark's Mauro Refosco, Love Trio's Kenny Wollesen, jazz drummer Jochen Rueckert with Aaron Johnston, Chantal Ughi, Doug Wieselman, Jonathan Haffner, Kirk Knuffke, Zeke Zima, Michael Kiaer and Daniel Jodocy.〔(Nublu )〕〔(All About Jazz )〕〔(Cool Hunting )〕 Ersahin also formed the trio (I Led Three Lives ) at Nublu.〔(KEXP Radio )〕 His saxophone and keyboards fitted together with Jochen Rueckert and veteran bass player Juini Booth. "Peace Now," (2008)〔(All Music )〕 their first album, shows the trio hitting some comparatively hard, harsh improvised jazz that verges on psychedelia, or industrial and metal music. Their name is taken from the paranoid Cold War anti-Communist TV show of the 1950s about a counter-spy for the Communists and the FBI, based on the autobiography of the same name by Herbert Philbrick. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nublu Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
