About Blue Jackel Entertainment
In October of 1995, the Long Island-based recording label Blue Jackel Entertainment, released it's first CD, the internationally acclaimed compilation Brasil: A Century of Song. This 4 compact disc - boxed set covering a wide selection of Brasilian music, graced two awards in 1996, the German Phono Academy Award for World Music and an Honorable Mention from NAIRD for packaging. Blue Jackel then released the 1997 Grammy. winner for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance Count Basie with the New York Voices Live at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild. Blue Jackel continued it's roll with it's release of Marlui Miranda's IHU Todos Os Sons (an interpretive work sung in 12 indigenous Amazonian languages with contemporary instrumentation by Gilberto Gil, Uakti and the instrumental group Pau Brasil). "IHU" won the German Phono Academy Award for World Music and the NAIRD Award forbest Contemporary World recording in 1997.
Blue Jackel's eclectic taste and style is at the heart of their mission to bring qulity music to the planet as President, Jack O'Neil states; "A musician is always in search of new sounds, new voicings, and new arrangements. As the genres of world music, jazz and classical are starting to overlap, the question lies, ' what will be the future?' Great musicians are found all over the world. There are virtuoso musicians of ethnic/indigenous origins that are playing their instruments in contemporary international groups that a few years ago would not have seemed possible. European, African, Cuban, Asian, Brasilian, and US musicians are now considered of equal quality. As borders and categories blur, innovative sounds and musician groupings will be formed to create new music. This is the wave of the future: to keep the music fresh and interesting to an ever- widening consumer base." Blue Jackel Entertainment is on the advent in participating in this search, development, and sharing of these musical discoveries worldwide.
