Showing the Discogs bio

American jazz producer and writer, born September 20 1949, Stamford, Connecticut - died April 20, 2024. As a freelancer, he researched the archive of the label from 1975 especially for releasable unissued recordings which eventually led to the co-founding (with ) of Mosaic Records in 1983. During the course of his career, Cuscuna worked on jazz releases for the major record companies, including Sony on box-sets of its Miles Davis holdings recorded by, as well as supervising new sessions for independents, though he is best known for producing reissues. He won Grammy Awards for box-sets of Nat King Cole (his Capitol piano trio recordings) and Billie Holiday (her 1933-1944 recordings), as well as for writing the notes for a Davis set.
