Enja

Enja Records is a German label that was founded in July 1971 in Munich by jazz fans Horst Weber and Matthias Winckelmann. Initially, the label's distribution was handled by Bellaphon until March 1999, with some releases also being distributed by ECM Records. Since April 2002, Soulfood Music Distribution GmbH has managed the distribution of new releases, while Galileo Music Communication has taken care of the back-catalogue since April 2009. In January 2019, Enja Records' distribution was taken over by Groove Attack.

In 1986, Weber and Winckelmann decided to separate and work individually, resulting in two Enja Records labels: Enja-Horst Weber and Enja-Matthias Winckelmann. However, more recently, the catalogues have reunited under the leadership of Werner Aldinger for both the former ENJA Horst Weber part and the new label Yellow Bird. Aldinger also administers ENJA Records M. Winckelmann.

Enja Records also has an active publishing department called enja European New Jazz Musikverlagsgesellschaft mbH.

After the great success of the last album Mediterranean Tales, the Italian pianist and composer Pasquale Stafano presents the new trio project and album Sparks. The trio is completed with Giorgio Vendola on double bass and Saverio Gerardi on drums, eclectic and emotionally tuned musicians who manage to create the perfect sound for Pasquale Stafano's music.

The pianist performs all over the world and in the latest years mostly in Asia in very important jazz festivals, theatres and jazz clubs, collaborates with great musicians such as Fabrizio Bosso, Gabriele Mirabassi, Javier Girotto, Michele Rabbia, Valtinho Anastacio, Yeahwon Shin, Adam Baldych and has recorded 7 albums as leader and others as a sideman.

His song "Milonguita" was arranged and recorded by 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philarmoniker, all members of the famous German orchestra, on the album "Hora Cero" produced by Sony Classical. He has held masterclasses and workshops in Thailand, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Switzerland and is Professor of Jazz Piano at the "S. Giacomantonio" Conservatory in Cosenza.
