I had first met producer Jerry Roche back in 1993 when he had delivered a two part Leo Kottke release titled Instrumentals: The Best Of The Chrysalis Years and The Best Of The Capitol Years to my NYC office. Since, Jerry and I have been working closely through the years and have become very good friends. Jerry works at Mosaic /True Blue which have just introduced a new division called Mosaic Contemporary . Jerry also owns his own label called Mighty Quinn Productions . At Mighty Quinn we have worked on and released many gems. At first, these were all reissues previously unavailable on CD. The releases include and are not limited to Pepper Adams , Lou Rawls , Don Ellis , Harold Land , Eddie Condon , Edmond Hall , Roy Ayers and Ray Nance . Mighty Quinn Productions has also expanded beyond reissues and is now supporting several touring artists such as Gary Lucas , Steve Marcus, Mike Millazzo, Johnnie Winter and Hello Dali. Jerry is musically passionate and absolutely fantastic to work with. It is people like Jerry that makes this music available for our ears. Please, support Mighty Quinn by checking out their site and, since your there, buy a CD or two!
