ABOUT THIS PROJECT

(Read more here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1987855001/577-records-curator-series-2012-0)

We are 577 Records, a small independent record label based in New York City. We have been releasing creative music for almost 12 years by musicians such as Daniel Carter, Federico Ughi, William Parker, Steve Swell, Sabir Mateen, Kirk Knuffke and many others.

We are about to start a new curator series. The curator will provide three titles with one of the three CDs featuring him or herself and the others chosen from musicians he or she knows or works with. The idea is that the three CDs in each series be related based on the curator’s choice and musical taste. We’ll be assigning the first curation to sax player David Schnug. David is a musician based in NYC. He is a really talented sax player and very involved in the community.

David is coordinating the following three CD releases as part of his curation:

1-David Schnug Trio (David Schnug sax, Chris Tordini bass, Max Goldman drums)

2- Aella (Patrick Breiner sax, Max Goldman drums, Mette Henriette Rolvag sax)

3- Alan Bjorklund’s Amygdala (Alan Bjorklund trumpet, Andrew Carrico baritone sax, Trevor LaGrange piano, Ryan Clackner guitar, Pascal Niggenkemper bass, Cody Brown drums)

This is our campaign to raise $2000 to help produce this series. Once we recover the initial production costs through sales, we will use this money to produce future series. After the initial costs are recovered, 100% profit from the sales of these albums will go to the artists. Please note that this is a work in progress and the curator/bands/projects are subject to change.

Thanks for donating!
