From the back room of their small family owned shoe shop in the heart of Osaka's Shinsekai district the Sawano brothers, Yoshiaki and Minoru, share their passion for Jazz music. After decades of collecting vinyl LPs the founding of a record label seemed like a natural progression, and so, in 1998 the Atelier Sawano label was born. Keeping in the tradition of the Japanese artisan, where handcraftsmanship and attention to detail are ones greatest concern, the Altelier Sawano label prides itself on quality.

In the era of digital downloads Atelier Sawano seeks to preserve the sanctity of the 'music album' as a physical object. Whether the album is released on CD, or as part of the analog LP series, the artwork, packaging, feel, and track running order are all given careful consideration.

Producing new recordings by talented but often little known musicians and selecting vintage albums for reissue the Atelier Sawano catalog is varied and it grows as each month passes; united by the motto "to only release music oneself would like to listen to."


Jazz rock/funk quartet from Zagreb, Croatia. Members are professional musicians for a long time, with lot of artistic and bussines experince, but still open to new music, expressions and experimentations. 
The music of the band is focused to groove, structured music forms and arrangements, with lot of improvised lines and solos from all band members. Band perfomance is open to public - we are not plaing only for ourselves! You can dance on our music too, if you wish.

Born 1955. 
I love the music of the 20th century from 30's jazz, 50's rock'n'roll, 60's hippies and surfing styles, 70's country rock and 80's disco and rock particularly.   However, the majority of pieces featured here are from my era of producing Country Music as "Dusty Lane" around 2014.
