RawBounce Records
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.
