Jazzland

Jazzland is a New York jazz label that was established in 1960 by Bill Grauer and Orrin Keepnews as a companion to their Riverside Records label. Originally focused on reissuing Riverside recordings, the label soon shifted its focus to new recordings, particularly material by Cannonball Adderly.

In 1972, Jazzland was bought along with its parent Riverside label by Fantasy. Since then, the label has continued to be a prominent force in the jazz music industry, releasing exceptional recordings from talented artists.

With its rich history and dedication to showcasing the best of jazz music, Jazzland remains an influential and respected label within the genre. From classic reissues to groundbreaking new releases, Jazzland continues to captivate audiences with its diverse catalog of extraordinary jazz recordings.

van Blomqvist, keyboard wizard and composer for Rohey and Mosambique, and contributor to Neon Ion (Natalie Sandtorv) and Linda Sundblad, releases his Jazzland Rec solo debut album, Nu minns jag. This album presents a different side of Ivan's musical world, with tracks that are contemplative, serene, melancholy, nostalgic and offering a clearer picture of his improvisational skills than previously. Simultaneously, he demonstrates his unique take on electronic processing and beat-making. With distinct nods to his inspirations, predecessors and mentors, where one might hear echoes of numerous artists from Keith Jarrett to Bugge Wesseltoft, from Chopin to Satie, from Radiohead to Alicia Keys, Blomqvist nevertheless lays his own path, offering a highly personal and autobiographical set of compositions and performances that have emotional and intellectual depth as well as stylistic breadth. Through these evocative and melodic pieces, alongside the carefully controlled experimental elements and genre-traversing and improvisational exploration contained within them, Ivan Blomqvist establishes himself beyond question as a key figure among the young up-and-coming generation of jazz artists.
