Jazz

At the centre of JAZZ are Brazil's Flora Purim, Airto Moreira and artists who came to the label because of a direct or indirect involvement with them.  Airto and his participation in many projects laid the musical foundation and direction of MELT 2000. As a consequence of the artistic freedom granted by the label boss Robert Trunz unique new styles and collaborations in the 90's evolved with a.o. the cream of UK Acid Jazz like Byron Wallen, Andrew Missingham & Jessica Lauren. The label's work, under the initial guidance of Airto Moreira, is represented by late South African heroes like Sipho Gumede & Moses Taiwa Molelekwa who were strong pillars of the 90's resurgence of a vibrant local Jazz scene that led to the birth of the Cape Town Jazz Festival. Airto Moreira's 1989 sessions with his Miles Davis era mates Herbie Hancock & Stanley Clarke in Santa Barbara were released in 1994 and Sterophile chose the track “Nevermind” for their Test CD 3.
