Isolde Records : Passion for music 

Isolde Records is a young record company from the Netherlands whom in their short existence evolved to a label with it’s own signature. Mainly focussing on jazz, soul, blues, fusion and acid-jazz, but Isolde has always an open ear for all ‘good sounding/ composed ’ music.

With artists like Tristan, Yasam Hancilar band, KASPER, Writersday, Big Mike, On Impulse, Pimpy Panda a.o., they have proven their good taste in music. 

Founded by two full time musicians, Coen Molenaar and Frans Vollink in 2013. 
Coen is working as a musician/ composer/ teacher/ producer and is touring around the globe with the legendary Jan Akkerman. Frans runs his own studio, and plays/ played with Dutch pianist Jasper van ’t Hof. Together they are the core members of acid-jazz group Tristan and On Impulse. In their own bands they have featured a lot of international instrumentalists like Randy Brecker, Marc Guillermont , Nigel Hitchcock, Jamal Thomas to name a few.
U.S. soulsinger Heston has been a guest on several albums over the last couple of years and vice-versa. Same goes for jazz-vocalist Deborah J. Carter.

In 2013 Isolde Records started out as a record label, at first to support their own bands. 
The first release was an album entitled ‘Full Power’ by Tristan, which turned out to be quite a success. In the UK soul charts the album reached number one and brought Tristan to many festivals and venues throughout Europe. 
Partnerships are there with two Japanese record labels (Sweet Soul Records/ AMSA Records), German label ‘Mocher Music’ and London based Expansion Records. 

With a catalogue covering over 20 bands and artists, Isolde Records turns out to be quite a success. To cover all various fields in this business like TV& Radio promotion, press, distribution, PR, CD printing, booking etc., they decided to team up with a nice couple of music-industry professionals.

The music of Minouchka is cinematic, mysterious, and captivating, evoking influences of the Balkans and the Middle East, early jazz, and classically influenced art rock.  Some tunes might be at home on a film noir soundtrack.  Led by accordionist and composer Rachel Koppelman, the music has drawn comparisons with Steve Swallow, Charles Mingus, Ennio Morricone, Blonde Redhead, Stereolab, Radiohead, Danny Elfman, and Ghorar Deem Express (Rachel's first band, the 10-piece, Amsterdam-formed ensemble with which she cut her teeth on accordion and compositions).  

In 2008, Minouchka's tune, '???' (The Question Mark Song) was selected to be performed as part of a circus performance by Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band and the Madcap Rumpus Ensemble.

The group is comprised of incredibly talented musicians from different facets of the Boston music scene: Andy Bergman's jazz and world-music influences permeate his sound on clarinet and baritone sax; Larry Mancini (Ol' Brown Shoe) brings his Jerry Garcia-inspired stylings on guitar; Brian O'Connell (dB, Uncle Sammy) offers his highly kinesthetic, funky jam bass playing; and Dylan Jack (Charlie Kohlhase, Dylan Jack Quartet) shapes the music with his dynamic, intricate, and creative drumming.

Sub label from Black and Tan Records specially set up to release refreshing cover versions of existing, well known songs.
