AFFINITY with CANDID RECORDS
February 2, 2006
Candid Records Philippines Corp., the Manila subsidiary of the independent jazz record label based in the UK, announces the addition of the Johnny Alegre AFFINITY to its prestigious roster of jazz artists, with a self-titled first album. The inclusion of the Johnny Alegre AFFINITY establishes Candid Records’ presence in Manila as the premiere jazz record exponent of the country and, perhaps, of the Far East.
Lauded by a Business World feature article as "Manila’s jazz superband", the AFFINITY, featuring alto saxophonist Tots Tolentino, pianist Elhmir Saison, bassist Colby de la Calazada, and drummer Koko Bermejo, is documented in a stellar collaboration. The Candid label originated in New York in the 1960s when Archie Bleyer, owner of the Cadence Label and producer/writer Nat Hentoff, indulged their passion for jazz music with their own jazz line, with recordings by Charles Mingus, Abbey Lincoln, Steve Lacy, Charlie Mariano, Max Roach and other jazz musicians regarded today as legends.
Alan Bates, the CEO of Candid-UK, observes "there is an amazing amount of wonderful talents to be heard far and wide in the jazz world." Candid’s contemporary artists in the UK include Stacey Kent, Jacqui Dankworth, Kyle Eastwood and Jamie Cullum.
