Wonderful and eclectic jazz label. I remember how excited I used to get whenever I used to get one of their fabulous boxed vinyl releases. Now a member of the modern music world with a wide array of CD releases including a number of GREAT Eugene pieces.

Leo Records is a small independent company producing highly original, innovative, improvisation-based new music; music that refuses to be submitted to the market forces, that goes against the grain of current wisdoms; music that asks questions, provokes debate, generates ideas. This is music that matters. Although the catalogue of Leo Records includes composers and musicians from all over the world, the origin of the musicians is not so important. What matters is the originality of the music.

d e s i d e r a t a \di-si-de-‘ra-ta\: "something desired as essential"
...so what exactly is that supposed to be?
...the desideratum was alleged to be a universal panacea sought by alchemists during the middle ages...a cure for all that ails...this mission is far less altruistic...thru the use of words, images, commentary, graphics...to be thought-provoking...to cause an outbreak of discussion...there is an invitation herein...if you have a reaction...and i pray that you do...to find the reply instruction...disagree...confront perceptions...misconceptions...express some human emotion...to create something beyond need...which leads back to that paltry definition...the root is desire...the urge is a need to fill the fracture in our spirit...the void in our psoul...we can make it up as we go...we can use whatever we can expropriate from the cultural vulture that hovers over us...we are fodder for consumer commercial responses to stimuli...we are carrion for false notions of team spirit...patriotism...corporate loyalty...dysfunctional family unity...counter-cultural revolution reactionaries...identification with brand names...tattooed on our psyches...embedded in our bio-chips...
