Candid Records has re-released a number of classic Black albums. [D]ue to the resurgence of vinyl and interest in jazz, Candid has chosen to re-issue albums from their golden era which took place primarily in 1961 and 1962.
Founded in 1960 by Archie Bleyer, Candid was on the cutting edge of releasing jazz and blues music from Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Cecil Taylor, Abbey Lincoln, Lightnin’ Hopkins and more. The label’s catalog is extensive and, due to the resurgence of vinyl and interest in jazz, Candid has chosen to re-issue albums from their golden era which took place primarily in 1961 and 1962.
The evolution of contemporary jazz and blues has been supported by the foundational music that, many times, has become lost in history. Candid’s decision to release groundbreaking music from the 1960s shows a revelatory grace and effort to share the music of the past with a new generation of listeners. The music of these artists should never be taken for granted but revered as historical gems where preservation becomes the main goal.
Candid has given jazz and blues lovers a gift that will in turn be passed down to the Black youth of America.
