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.

Music produced and compiled by Siggi Loch with Sidney Bechet, Dave Brubeck, Klaus Doldinger, Johnny Griffin, Larry Coryell, Nils Landgren, Esbjörn Svensson, Joachim Kühn, Michael Wollny, Iiro Rantala. With 60 years in the music business, music manager and producer Siggi Loch has shaped the industry from its beginnings until today, as the youngest head of a major label, the WEA, now Warner Music Europe, and as the oldest founder of an independent jazz label, ACT. And it is the love of jazz that runs like a thread through his life. In keeping with Siggi Loch’s 80th birthday, ‘A Life in the Spirit of Jazz’ tells this love story.
