We've invited DJ, music historian, and label executive Amir Abdullah for a very special educational listening session on the Strata Records label. Strata was an independent black-owned jazz, soul & funk label that started in Detroit in 1969. Founded by former Blue Note jazz pianist Kenny Cox as a community organization, with food drives, jazz programs and live concerts.
In 2013 Amir started 180 Proof Records to reissue the Strata catalogue and brought a lot of previously unreleased albums from the vault into the world, expanding it's already rich history. In collaboration with London's BBE Records most of the catalogue is finally available, waiting to be discovered by you.
Join us for a sonic journey where Amir talks us through the Strata Records history, dives deep into the catalogue and plays the records. We welcome you to the underground sounds of Detroit in the early 70s.
