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.

Paint It Blue is dedicated to the man who, for many still today embodies the central figure at the genre’s source: Julian Edwin ‘Cannonball’ Adderley (1928 - 1975). Maybe he didn’t invent Funk. Together with his co-musicians in his 60s quintet, Cannonball’s alto sax style, his attitude, humour great musicality, and his love for his audience allowed him to become a synonym for funk.

Paint It Blue is possibly Nils Landgren’s most lavish record and with some certainty also his best. Landgren’s playing is cool and smooth, with warmth, temperament and thought. Here his sound combines organically with everything he surrounds himself with. The album sounds as if the recordings for it were a pure joy for all participants. Nils Landgren has the prerequisite for serious fun, the gift of intelligent serenity.
