Prominent jazz record producer Larry Rosen, co-founder of GRP label, dies at 75
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Larry Rosen, one of the most influential and tech-savvy modern jazz producers who co-founded GRP Records with pianist Dave Grusin, died Friday, his publicist said. He was 75.
Rosen, who had been battling brain cancer, died surrounded by his family at his home in Park Ridge, New Jersey, publicist Sheryl Feuerstein said.
Against the advice of their financial advisers and lawyers, Rosen and Grusin mortgaged their homes to borrow money to launch GRP as an independent label in 1982.
“It was two musicians who just believed in the music and merging technology with quality product,” Rosen recalled in a 2012 interview with Billboard Magazine on the 30th anniversary of the label’s founding. “We wanted to see if audiences would like it and they did.”
GRP, which embraced the jazz-fusion sound and enjoyed crossover success, was voted Billboard’s No. 1 contemporary jazz label for five consecutive years and won 33 Grammys. Its catalogue included albums by many top jazz artists such as Chick Corea, Lee Ritenour, Diana Krall, Diane Schuur, Patti Austin, Dr…

Thousands demonstrate in Germany against EU-US TTIP trade deal
– canadianbusiness.com
BERLIN – Thousands of people are gathering in the German capital to protest against a planned trans-Atlantic free trade pact.
Organizers of Saturday’s demonstration in downtown Berlin said some 50,000 protesters from across the country were expected.
The European Union and United States have been negotiating since 2013 on the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP.
Germany’s government has pushed the deal, saying it will boost the global economy.
Protesters, organized by the Confederation of German Trade Unions, known by its acronym DGB, worry that an agreement could lower food safety standards and undermine local regulation by giving international arbitration panels the power to rule over disputes.
