Interview: Jordi Pujol
by Marc Myers
JazzWax, November 8, 2011
Don't recognize the name? Jordi Pujol is the owner of Spain's Fresh Sound label.
Since the 1980s, Fresh Sound has specialized in releasing American jazz albums from
the 1950s that U.S. labels have all but ignored, overlooked or forgotten. In this
regard, Fresh Sound has performed a heroic task, rescuing jazz's greatest decade
from the dumb clutches of record conglomerates that have all but written off the
music. You see, with the advent of the digital age in the 1990s, many American record
companies shifted priorities, treating their rich jazz catalogs like junk unworthy
of remastering or re-issuing. The big names saw the light of day again but not the
lesser lights. Enter Jordi Pujol and Fresh Sound.
