JAZZLINE CD catalogue

Jazzline is the "acoustic" jazz label of Alex Merck Music. Most of the music is based on hardbop - but some artists like Peter Materna, Charlie Mariano, Dieter Ilg or Christoph Stiefel draw their inspiration more from classical music, New Age or other influences. The common factor is that there are almost no electric instruments used (well, there are a few tunes with electric bass and guitar on Carola Grey's second album) and the music is real jazz, not funk- or rock-influenced.
The criteria for choosing musicians for the label were:

Warning to musicians: We get too many tapes and proposals each week, while we only bring 4 to 6 albums to the public each year and most of them are by our already signed artists. If you are a new musician who can play standards very well, please do not send us any material. When you start making music that is jazz, but sounds completely different (and not just because of your instruments sound) while still being music for non-musicians to listen to and enjoy - then we could be interested (if you perform live on stage a lot).
