WRONG BUT STRONG FOR 15 YEARS, CLEAN FEED / 15 YEARS OF THE CLEAN FEED RECORDS, 5 YEARS OF THE LJUBLJANA JAZZ SERIES
Exhibition of Clean Feed CD and vinyl record covers, whose graphic design by artists Rui Garrido and Travassos has been acknowledged by several international awards.
The partnership established by the Clean Feed Records and Jazz Festival Ljubljana goes back to 2011, when the first artists of the label were programmed by this event and a new collection, named Ljubljana Jazz Series, was premiered in the CF catalogue, revealing outside its borders some of the most important Slovenian musicians, including Kaja Draksler, Cene Resnik, Igor Lumpert and Dre Hocevar, besides a quite special big band, EMJO.
This year, Clean Feed is celebrating its 15th anniversary, with 400 titles released, a distribution circuit comprising 13 countries and the unexpected, but hard-earned, feat to be recognised by specialised publications like All About Jazz New York and New York City Jazz Record, as well as organisations like the Jazz Journalists Association, as the best international jazz record company in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The quality of the recorded music of the biggest names active in the field of jazz, but also the defying new sound emerging from the four corners of the planet, is the reason for this success. However, that same music would not have been heard without a good marketing strategy and a solid image of each product. In this regard, the graphic design of the CDs and vinyl records produced under the Clean Feed label is of the utmost importance.
