It's very heartening to see so many positive comments about this very new idea.<br /><br />I'm happy to announce that Mark Harvey's first two albums, "Mark Harvey Group" from 1972 and "Mark Harvey and Friends" from 1981, will be the first albums on the <a href="http://www.rerelease.net">ReRelease</a> label. They will also be first in a series on underground jazz classics from the MA area. I have long had the idea to do this, and it's really fantastic to see it coming together.<br /><br />Mark is a professor at MIT, methodist minister, and prominent figure on the improvisatory jazz scene. His albums have been released on the UK-based Leo records and his Aardvark Jazz Orchestra is going strong after nearly 35 years (how's <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> for longevity?).<br /><br />The current goal is for the website to go live May 15th with three full albums for sale through iTunes, eMusic, and other prominent online retailers. ReRelease is currently talking to a prominent post-punk group out of NYC as well as several other improv/jazz groups about participation. Stay tuned!!Andrew Schrockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17275684193602413010noreply@blogger.com
