Act Music

ACT Music is a German jazz label that was founded in 1992 as "ACT Music + Vision" by [a288876]. With its own catalogue numbering scheme, ACT Music quickly established itself as an independent label in the music industry. However, the label's history dates back even further, with releases bearing the logo and label code LC 7644 appearing as early as 1988 when they were part of their predecessor company [l218926]. These early releases showcase the legacy of a second major label that played a significant role in shaping ACT Music's journey.

Today, ACT Music continues to be at the forefront of jazz music, representing talented artists and performers from around the world. The label's commitment to showcasing exceptional musical talent has earned it a reputation for delivering high-quality recordings across various genres within jazz. From traditional jazz to contemporary fusion and everything in between, ACT Music remains dedicated to bringing listeners an unparalleled listening experience.

With its rich history and unwavering dedication to artistic excellence, ACT Music stands as a prominent figure in the music e-commerce industry. Whether you are a seasoned jazz enthusiast or just beginning your exploration of this captivating genre, you can trust ACT Music to provide you with remarkable albums that will captivate your senses and leave you wanting more.

Originally released in 1997, "Winter in Venice" was the band’s fourth album and is now on vinyl for the first time. At the same time it was the group’s first album, in that it was the first independent profile that exhibits the three musicians in their classic lineup. The 13 original compositions show them as sensitive masters of communication with the penchant for transforming simple, pretty melodies into complex networks of motifs. Sometimes balladic, sometimes joyously swinging, "Winter in Venice" lays out a lively tonal tapestry which, despite its suggestive title, seems to have little to do with the morbid feeling that exists in Venice during that dark time of year. It received the Swedish Grammy in 1998 as best jazz album of the year, and on top of it all, it helped Svensson to the title of Songwriter of the Year.
