There's so much doom and gloom in the arts news of late that we can't help but pay attention when we run across a reference to music labels who feel and exhibit "a characteristic sense of perseverance and sometimes even some guarded optimism"... This even makes us perk up a bit.
The article to which I refer appears on the NewMusicBox website and discusses the buoyancy that small independent music labels are showing in this tough economy. Read through to near the end and you'll find an interview with one of our board members, Judd Greenstein. Judd is a co-founder of New Amsterdam Records, a self-described "haven for the young New York composers and performers whose music slips through the cracks between genres."
