Description

Producer and ACT label boss Siggi Loch turns 75 on August 6th this year and to celebrate his birthday ACT are releasing a collection of music that Siggi had the pleasure of producing over the last 50-plus years, his own personal Best of... . 'Life in the Spirit of Jazz - Siggi Loch 75' represents a fascinating cross-section from the glittering career and from the passionate life of a man who has achieved legendary status in music. Right at the start of his career, he had the dream of running his own jazz label, and he has now fulfilled that dream. ACT has been voted label of the year four times in a row at the German ECHO awards, and in 2015 alone, its artists and releases garnered eight ECHOs: the label has achieved international renown. However this CD collection is a snapshot of where things are, a provisional taking of stock to mark and to celebrate Siggi Loch's 75th birthday. And what does the future hold for him? Loch answers that question unambiguously, and with Dizzy Gillespie's immortal formula: 'I will bop until I drop!' Siggi Loch has a breadth of experience in the music sector that very few can match. From the 1960s onwards, those formative days for the modern record industry, his career path rapidly became a giddying ascent. From a position as sales rep for EMI, to label manager at Philips, on to head of Warner Europe, Loch owed this meteoric rise to his inexhaustible enthusiasm, combined with an ability to spot the talent and to predict the trends in pop music. He had been at Warner eighteen years when his boss and mentor Nesuhi Ertegün, the legendary Atlantic Jazz producer, stood down as WEA chairman. Loch, who now knew the music business inside-out, took his cue to abandon a lucrative managerial position, and finally to turn the dream of his youth into a reality. In 1992 ACT was born as a jazz label. Contents: CD 1 : The Beginning CD 2 : Blues & Rock CD 3 : Crossing Borders CD 4 : Visions of Jazz CD 5 : Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic
