Everything about Black Saint Soul Note totally explained
Black Saint/Soul Note is a pair of
Italian jazz independent record labels. Black Saint was established in
1975 by Giacomo Pelliciotti and devoted to recording avant-garde musicians who might not have an opportunity elsewhere. In
1979, a sister label, Soul Note, was established as a home for artists who, while being no less creative, might be considered slightly closer to the mainstream. Giovanni Bonandrini, owner of Black Saint since 1977, admits that the line between the two labels is somewhat nebulous.
The labels specialize in
avant garde jazz stemming from the
free jazz tradition. Its roster of artists includes many of the most illustrious jazz performers of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Several of the performers had been members of the
Chicago-based music association
Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and the
St. Louis-based multidisciplinary arts collectives
Black Artists Group and the
Human Arts Ensemble.
The company is based in
Tribiano,
Italy. Many of the recordings were made in
Milan, as the performers passed through the area on tour, although many leading Italian musicians, such as
Giorgio Gaslini, have also recorded for the label. Giovanni Bonandrini's son Flavio now runs the company, the elder Bonandrini having retired, and has supervised many recording sessions in
New York.
