Legendary record label executive and ?NEA Jazz Master? George Avakian to join discussion on ?Developing Non-Popular Music & Catalog Content for the 21st Century.?

Considered one of the most influential people in the history of the recording industry without whom the history of jazz would likely not be the same, Avakian started in the music business, while still at Yale University in the late 1930?s. He was responsible for the first reissues Columbia put out around 1940, discovering some unissued Louis Armstrong masters from his Hot Five and Hot Seven period in the process. His long tenure at Columbia Records culminated in his becoming responsible for the Popular Music and International divisions. During that time, Avakian introduced the LP record format created by Columbia engineers and produced the industry?s first 100 long-playing discs of popular music and jazz. He also produced the first live LP-Benny Goodman?s 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. While at Columbia, Avakian signed and produced Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Mathis, Rita Reys, and Erroll Garner to the label, among others. In 1959 he was hired as one of the founding A&R managers for the newly-established Warner Bros. Records and also worked as a producer for RCA Victor. Additionally, he signed Bob Newhart, producing the first comedy album to win a Best Album Grammy Award. While retiring from the record business in the mid ?70s George Avakian has been recognized with a The Trustees Lifetime Achievement Award (Grammy) from the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences for contributions to the music industry worldwide and by the National Endowment of the Arts as a NEA Jazz Master, among many other accolades.
