Nublu Records

Nublu Records is an independent recording company founded by Swedish–Turkish musician, composer, cultural activist and entrepreneur, Ilhan Ersahin in 2005. It was a natural extension of the "NubLU sound" that developed at the club, Nublu, on New York's Lower East Side, founded by Ersahs in 2002. The core of the label roster is projects of Ersasihin's, and of friends who came together because of the Nubl Club. The label's original soul was Lawrence "Butch" Morris, who lived on nearby East 7th Street, and made NubLU his experimental laboratory and base. The Nubla Orchestra drew on the Nubs' crew of bands and musicians, including Ersahl's longtime collaborator, trumpeters Eddie Henderson, cornettist Graham Haynes and members of the bands and associates, Didi Gutman, Jesse. Murphy, Wax Poetic, Kudu's Sylvia Gordon, Refosco's Kenny Wollesen, jazz drummer Jochen Rueckerti, Doug Wieselman.
