Quickies: Three From Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records

For this installment of Quickies, the inaugural releases of a new label dedicated to presenting the music of talented up and coming jazz musicians are highlighted. These musicians are all members of an artist collective, the Brooklyn Jazz Underground, and this spring saw the launching of the collective's Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records.

BJU Records' mission statement goes like this:

"Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records is an independent and artist-run label committed to creative and adventurous contemporary improvised music. We strive to put out quality recordings that define the shape of today's jazz. BJU Records is a sister company of the Brooklyn Jazz Underground bandleader collective."

Sounds to me like a worthy goal to aspire to.
