Nonesuch Records: Founded as a budget classical label in 1964 by Jac Holzman, head of the then-independent Elektra Records, Nonesuch has always been attached to one of the Warner Music Group labels. After the ten years it spent with Elektra, it spent eight with Warner Music International and three years with Atlantic before moving to its current home at Warner Bros. Records.

This CD was given to me in Portland, Oregon, by Jason Chan. I brought it to Rotterdam, Netherlands, and to New York City. I'm currently living with it in Brooklyn.
