About Moochin About
Moochin’ About was launched in early 2011, by producer, musician, DJ & Jazz & Blues Connoisseur, Jason Lee Lazell. The label initially started out producing the critically acclaimed Jazz On Film series and has so far re-issued some classic and forgotten masterpieces, including 1950’s Film Noir scores such as Elmer Bernstein’s “Man With The Golden Arm’ & ‘Sweet Smell of Success’, Duke Ellington's “Anatomy Of Murder’, to lesser known gems like Charles Mingus’s “Shadows’, Freddie Redd’s ‘The Connection and Krzysztof Komeda’s, sumptuously bright, yet cool and nuanced jazz score to Roman Polanski’s directorial debut ‘Knife in The Water’, which featured on the first volume of Jazz On Film…The New Wave, a comprehensive look at primarily French New Wave and the films influenced by this movement…
A follow up to the new wave collection (the new wave II), gained even more adulation from the critics, it featured a impressive 8CD’s and music from 23 new wave film scores around the globe, this time with british film director Mike leigh obe lending his hand, this time with the sleevenotes..!
As well as the Jazz On Film series, Moochin’ About has released a variety of non jazz releases, the idea behind the label has always been to remaster & release iconic music from a wide range of genres we’ve felt passionate about,or has been out of print for far too long..!
Moochin' About has also gained the appreciation and admiration by a number of radio personalities and has appeared and been played on shows such as Cerys Matthews, Huey Morgan, Guy Garvey ~ 6 Music, The Jamie Cullum Show~ BBC radio 2, The Johnny Trunk Show ~ Resonance FM and Robert Elms ~ BBC London, Giles Peterson - BBC6Music, Stuart Marconie - Freak Zone BBC6Music to name but a few…
the label has also attracted numerous high profile stars offer sleeve notes to various releases, including crime writer - Max Allan Collins, British jazz trumpeter - Guy Barker, Jazzwise editor - Jon Newey, musician & radio presenter - Cerys Matthews, Guitarist Boz Boorer, New Wave film author - Richard Neupert and as previously mentioned British director Mike Leigh OBE...
