MORE
ABOUT TUTU RECORDS
Tutu
is an ambitious minor jazz label that was founded by Horst Weber,
Enja Records and Peter Wiessmueller in 1988. The idea of the label's
name came from the famous album of the same name by Miles Davis
and therefore also connected with the South-African freedom fighter,
Bishop Desmond Tutu; i.e., consistent with the many years of jazz
tradition, Tutu Records also stands for political and cultural freedom
in general, and for artistic freedom in particular.
The Tutu issues are primarily in the field of modern jazz and world
music. First and foremost, we give young artists and musicians an
opportunity to present themselves and at the same time, to unfold
their potential for self-expression, or else we offer better known
musicians the artistic framework for realizing themselves. Another
aspiration of our productions is to make the music come into being
as naturally as possible and then document it, i.e., to bring about
a "live" ambience that creates and conveys a real relationship
with life.
A special kind of accent is the chamber music type of series, the
"Art of the Duo". Artistic success is estimated very highly
by us and accordingly, we count on long term musical partnerships,
always paying great attention to the world wide availability of
our albums.
