"Black Jazz Records" up for sale for $285,000

Neither John Coltrane nor Herbie Hancock ever recorded for the Bay Area-based Black Jazz label that flourished in the '70s West Coast jazz scene. Far from being a commercial powerhouse, the label concentrated on an epicurean selection of then-fresh faced soul-jazz musicians from keyboardist Doug Carn to bassist Cleveland Eaton. After years of reinvigoration, the label and its back catalogue are looking for a new home, and doing so in rather peculiar ways. Hardge has offered up everything for sale on Craigslist. For the handsome price of $285,000, you can become the owner of Black Jazz. Read complete story from laweekly.com.
