The legendary label that was founded in 1939 by two Berliners, Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, is now no longer under the leadership of Bruce Lundvall.
Lundvall was at the top of the label for 25 years and was not only responsible for bringing in major sucess story Norah Jones, but also it was under his
management that newcomers like Aaron Parks, Robert Glasper, or Stefon Harris started out at the famous label.
Lundvall will stay with the label though but as chairman emeritus. So basically he will continue to find and develop new and up-and-coming artists.
He will also serve as consultant for the label's reissue projects which features a massive and endless catalogue.
The new guy at the top is Ian Ralfini who was the senior vice president of Manhattan Records, like Blue Note Records a record label under the EMI
umbrella.
Among upcoming records for the label will be Lionel Loueke's Mwaliko, to be released in early February.
