ACORN MUSIC NEWS

As all of us must be aware economic conditions have altered, mostly for the worse, and despite struggling against the tide for what is now clearly far too long. The bullet must be bitten and changes made to keep the ship afloat.

So we have decided to amalgamate Acorn and Cadillac Jazz, and the mail order department will now operate under the CADILLAC JAZZ DISTRIBUTION name, this will also apply to future cheque and card payments.

Whilst we intend to continue serving all you loyal and valued customers/friends to the best of our ability it has become increasingly clear that it’s just not economically practical to continue producing and circulating regular lists. As collectors of long standing most of you no doubt have well developed information gathering sources through, Magazines, Radio, Word of mouth, even Web Sites !!!

Our Cadillac Jazz web site - www.cadillacjazz.co.uk - will continue to list all new releases of our “in house” labels, CADILLAC and OGUN,along with our distribution specialities including, ACE – labels, ACTA, ARBORS, ASC, AYLER, AZURE, BLUE JACK JAZZ, BRUCE’S FINGERS, CALLIGRAPH, CLEANFEED. 504/DINE-A-MITE, FLEDG’LING, FOGHORN, FOUR LEAF CLOVER, FMP, FROG, HARLEQUIN, JASMINE, JAZZ ORACLE, JUMP. MATCHLESS, MILES MUSIC, NINTH WORLD MUSIC, REALITY, REEL TO REEL, SACKVILLE, SILKHEART, SLAM, SPOTLITE, UPBEAT, WAVE.

We of course will also continue to be happy to supply all the other multitude of labels covering the whole spectrum of Jazz and Improvised /New Music from around the world
