Nabel Records

Nabel Records is an independent German record label based in Aachen, specializing in fusion and modern jazz. It was founded in 1980 by Rainer Wiedensohler, who continues to run the label. The label's early output included the first European recordings by John Thomas with his group Lifeforce (Devil Dance) and with the International Jazz Consensus featuring Adelhard Roidinger and Lala Kovačev. Nabel soon expanded to record musicians from the Rhineland scene such as Michael Villmow, Monika Linges, Jürgen Sturm, Andy Lumpp, Charlie Mariano, Wolfgang Engstfeld, Gunnar Plümer, Peter Weiss and Hugo Read, as well as Gebhard Ullmann, Andreas Willers, Klaus Ignatzek and Dave Liebman. In later years the label opened up to productions by Maria João, Anca Parghel, Céline Rudolph, Rupert Stamm, Lee Konitz, Laurie Antonioli, Richie Beirach and Paul Peuker. Nabel Records has made much of its back catalogue available in digitized editions. The label's official website presents its productions, a record shop page, and videos from releases such as Andreas Weiser's Close Distance (CD 4709), Ulrich Lask's Lametta Lagra Lama (CD/DVD 4711) and Andy Lumpp's Beyond Nirvana (CD/DVD 4704).
