If swing is your thing and groove makes you move,
you came to the right place.

Raw Bounce Records is a net-label wich was founded in early
2008 in an effort to spread what is usually called "Hard Bop"
Jazz music.

The most bangin' thing is that all of the net-label's releases are
licensed under Creative Commons Licence.
That means you can download any album on this site for free.
That's right. No e-mail stuff, no DRM's, no nothing.
Just click, listen, burn, and share the bounce !

What you gonna find on this netlabel is pure, uncomprimising
and relentless Jazz that is exclusively recorded "live" with no
overdubs and very few time (a couple of hours), in order
to deliver the most spontoneous and authentic performance possible.

Using vintage styling (tube mics, tape decks, in-your-face mono...),
the studio is totally independant and is able to record anything,
anytime, anybody, without following any trends.
Why this name?
The idea came when 'The Real Dealers' combo were
figuring out a way of recording their music.
Do you play live?
Jazz is made to be played live. So The Real Dealers are playin' out as much as they can !
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes everything, and allows musicians to share their creativity and get known without any big guys trying to restrict everything. It also allows listeners to have access to an incredible amount of various music all aounrd the world.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No way ! I want to keep control of what I'm doin. Plus HardBop ain't no music to make millions of bucks with.
