Ogun Records is a record label created by the husband and wife team of Hazel Miller and Harry Miller, to document the music being created by a group of open-minded musicians in London in the early 1970s.
It has recorded work by musicians such as The Brotherhood of Breath, The Blue Notes, Chris McGregor, Elton Dean, Keith Tippett, Louis Moholo and Harry Beckett.
The label remains active, in spite of Harry Miller being killed in a car accident in 1983, although new releases are infrequent. Hazel Miller continues to run the company, in association with John Jack of Cadillac Music, and the catalogue is slowly re-emerging on CD.
Famous quotes containing the word records:
“Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
