BTNP 033: How To Choose A Record Label

http://www.behindthenote.com/category/podcast/ If you have ever recorded an album independently or desire to do so then this episode is for you. We talk about the pros and cons of signing with an independent record label. Also, we discuss how to choose the company that is a good match for you. We also talk about if it is a better idea to just do things without a label. Today's guest is Chad McCullough who is a former employee of Origin Records. Chicago-based Trumpeter/composer Chad McCullough… called “a thoughtful improvisor with technique to spare” by Allaboutjazz.com, Chad’s various albums have received wide critical-acclaim. His stable of collaborators is a diverse collection of unique musicians and speaks to the depth of his musical palette. Dan McClenaghan writes, “He is a rare instrumentalist who makes each note sound as if it were imbued with a deeper meaning. Certainly a player with great chops, his approach is one that is measured and deliberate, often introspective, sometimes gorgeously melancholic, and one that employs a continuity of mood and atmosphere that the best recordings have.” As a leader, he has performed with his bands at festivals throughout the globe, including the 2013 Festival of New Trumpet Music (New York), the GG Jazz Festival (Krasnodar, Russia), The Earshot Jazz Festival (Seattle), and The Appeltuin Jazz Festival (Belgium). His albums have been released on Seattle’s Origin Records, and many have peaked in the top 100 for national airplay in the US.
