Black-Hawk
Records was launched in 1986 as Aspen Records’ jazz arm.
It was named after the popular 1950s and 1960s San Francisco jazz club. Under the creative direction of jazz broadcaster and educator Dr. Herb Wong, the label released 40 albums in just one year - including recordings by such stars as Stan Getz, Abdullah Ibrahim and Chico Freeman.
Then, the money ran out.
Management and financial issues closed down Black-Hawk, followed by years of trials and acquisitions.
