About this user

Big O Records was formed in 2005 by Jim Alfredson and Greg Nagy as a vehicle to release organissimo's second disc, "This Is The Place". That CD hit in the Top 15 in jazz radio airplay (unprecedented for an independent release) and the Top 10 in college radio. It also won a WYCE Jammie Award for Best Album, was nominated for a Detroit Music Award, and was included on many radio, internet, and magazine Best of 2005 lists.

In 2006, Big O Records released the first Root Doctor CD "Been A Long Time Coming". That record also did very well on radio and won a WYCE Jammie Award for Best Blues Album.

In 2007, Big O released a second Root Doctor CD, "Change Our Ways", which also won a WYCE for Best Blues album, had substantial radio airplay, and was nominated for a Blues Music Award (formerly the WC Handy Awards) by the Blues Foundation.

In July of 2008, Big O Records released organissimo's third album, "Groovadelphia". It quickly shot to the top of the college charts, hitting #1 on CMJ for three weeks and breaking into the Top 20 on JazzWeek. Reviews in major publications such as Downbeat followed.

In May of 2009, Greg Nagy released his debut solo album "Walk That Fine Thin Line". The CD took the blues world by storm, hitting in the Top 10 on the Living Blues charts for weeks and getting rave reviews in blues publications across the globe.

In December of 2009, Jim Alfredson released his first solo CD, "In Memorandom", a collection of electronic / ambient pieces dedicated to his late father and mother. Only 100 copies were printed, making the CD a very limited edition.

In April of 2010, organissimo released their first live CD, "Alive & Kickin'" along with a companion DVD entitled BackStage Pass. Many critics claimed this collection represents organissimo at its peak.

Big O Records is proud to feature Michigan based artists.
