Fantasy Records, established in San Francisco, California in 1949 by Max and Sol Weiss, is a renowned music label with a rich history. From their first artist, *Dave Brubeck*, to the iconic *Creedence Clearwater Revival*, Fantasy has been at the forefront of American rock 'n' roll. Under the leadership of Saul Zaentz and Ralph Kaffel, Fantasy expanded its influence by acquiring catalogs from prestigious jazz independents like Prestige and Riverside. The label's acquisitions also included legendary independent labels such as Stax Records and Specialty.

With an extensive catalog that spans various genres including acid jazz, folk, blues, and classic jazz, Fantasy's reissue programs have set industry standards. Their commitment to high-quality roots-based music led to the acquisition of labels like Takoma and Kicking Mule. Alongside their reissue programs, Fantasy maintains an active recording roster featuring esteemed artists such as *Sonny Rollins*, *Eric Alexander*, *Jimmy Scott*, and many others.

In 2004, Fantasy merged with Concord Records under the name Concord Music Group. While some operations remain in Berkeley, California, the label is now headquartered in Beverly Hills. Notably, John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival re-signed with Fantasy after leaving it decades earlier.

Tedeschi Trucks Band’s I Am The Moon is a four album rock ‘n’ roll event. Inspired by classical literature and driven by the isolation and mourning of the pandemic era, I Am The Moon features 24 original tracks and more than two hours of music. The four albums that comprise I Am The Moon— I. Crescent, II. Ascension, III. The Fall, and IV. Farewell — will be released in successive months beginning with I. Crescent.

The concept behind the band’s fifth studio recording, was suggested by vocalist Mike Mattison in May 2020, two months after the band was forced off the road by the pandemic. The 12th century poem Layla &amp; Majnun by Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi was the title inspiration for Eric Clapton’s 1970 double-LP with Derek and the Dominoes, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs – an influential album for TTB. But Ganjavi’s source material resonated with Mattison and the rest of the band in an altogether different way. Finding complex themes and storylines that inspired their creative process, they forged a new, modern interpretation of the vast 100-page poem.

I Am The Moon was written collectively and collaboratively, with band members contributing their own unique perspectives on the work. By January 2021 the band was recording at Tedeschi and Trucks’ home studio, Swamp Raga, in Jacksonville, FL, with Derek behind the soundboard as producer and long-time studio engineer Bobby Tis in charge of recording and mixing. Operatic in scope, Tedeschi Trucks Band explores romantic relationships, collective struggle, faith, and the human experience on I Am The Moon.
