Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ ....Checkout.... ........ .. .. ESP-DISK opened for business in New York City in 1966 on the 12th floor of 156 5th Avenue. During its first 18 months, 45 albums were recorded and released, featuring previously unknown free improvisational artists. The only exceptions were Ornette Coleman and Paul Bley, both of whom had gained global recognition during the 1950's. Artists who made their debuts as leaders on ESP included Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, Gato Barbieri, Bob James, Marion Brown, Roswell Rudd, Burton Greene, Patty Waters, Henry Grimes, Charles Tyler, Sunny Murray, Milford Graves, Sonny Simmons, Ronnie Boykins and Frank Wright. Several of these artists were then quickly sought out and recorded by the Impulse and Columbia labels. ESP had signed no term agreements with its artists, anticipating that this might happen, and that they would then enjoy promotional support from these large companies. .... ESP's rock groups, the Fugs and the Pearls Before Swine, wrote and recorded powerful statements against the war in Viet Nam, (KILL FOR PEACE, UNCLE JOHN) and their records rose quickly towards the top of the pop charts, through word of mouth. Over night, the record industry began bootlegging their lps, and no further orders reached ESP. In 1968, less than 3 years after its launch, ESP was driven out of business. The new music that was the major focus of the label was ignored in the U.S., while it was celebrated in Europe and Japan, where licensing agreements were made. Bernard Stollman, who had founded ESP, continued to produce records, although his distributors had shifted to purchasing bootlegs of these recordings, and his market had vanished, He treaded water until 1974, when the label ran out of funding. Within months after ESP closed its doors, Federal anti bootlegging laws were enacted. The master tapes were stored in safe deposit boxes, where they remained for 17 years. Stollman, a lawyer, eventually found employment as an Assistant Attorney General of the State of New York, and retired in 1991. A German record company, ZYX, then licensed the catalog in 1992, reissuing all 115 titles on cd. This relationship continued for 6 years, to be followed by a brief licensing agreement with a Dutch label, CALIBRE, and subsequently with an Italian company, Abraxas. That agreement has ended. In 2005, ESP resumed manufacturing, and now, all of its titles are available from retailers in many countries or by mail order directly from this web site, or by download from itunes, emusic, rhapsody, musicnet and others. .. .... 8.29.07 composer/vocalist/pianist from Sweden breaks the sound barrier with her free form originals and standards, the latter resembling something “out of a dog’s mouth.” ESP welcomes Lindha Kallerdahl to it's roster. Be on the lookout for her album soon! .... .. .. .. .. ...... 8.9.07 Below is a two part Sun Ra mini-documentary circa 1968. Enjoy!! .... Part I. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Part II .. .. .. .. .. .. 7.24.07: ESP has uncovered archival videos of some of our greatest artists, and will be posting them on YouTube for all ESP fans/enthusiasts to enjoy. Below is the first uncovered video featuring Giuseppi Logan circa 1966. More to come in the following weeks. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
