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.

Box Sets

Nils Landgren is the absolute linchpin of the ACT family. To date, the Swede has made forty albums on the label as leader, plus another twenty as producer or soloist. Michael Wollny, whose many projects with Landgren give him a special connection, sums up a key element in his success: “With Nils everything becomes easy.” 

All of Landgren’s multiple roles and traits come to the fore on ‘3 Generations’. Working alongside producer and ACT founder Siggi Loch, Nils Landgren brings together three generations of ACT artists in various line-ups to mark the label’s 30th Anniversary. 

Finding and nurturing young talent has always been one of ACT’s strong suits. It was true for Nils Landgren, then later for Michael Wollny, who joined the label in 2005 and is today one of the most significant pianists in Europe. With artists such as Johanna Summer and Jakob Manz - both born many years after ACT was founded - the label looks to the future with its younger generation of musicians bringing new energy and impetus to the world of jazz. 

Around forty artists from the ACT Family make this anniversary album a celebration of the breadth, openness and inclusive power of jazz. The core of the album consists of recordings made at a summer 2022 studio session lasting several days. 

Thirty tracks from three generations of musicians marking thirty years of ACT, with Nils Landgren as driving force. Not just a retrospective, but above all an insight into the present and future of the discovery label ‘in the Spirit of Jazz’.
