    MichaelCuscunaPhoto72Michael Cuscuna (b. 1948) developed an interest in jazz when he began studying drums at age 12. After writing for Down Beat and Rolling Stone he became a producer and assembled jazz recordings for Atlantic, Muse, Blue Note and Columbia. From 1975, he released 100 albums of previously unissued material from the great Blue Note vault. In 1984, Cuscuna helped pro- duced One Night With Blue Note, an all-star concert of Blue Note giants past and present. This concert led to the legendary The Mt. Fuji/Blue Note Festival in 1986.
    Cuscuna’s awards include Producer Of The Year in Down Beat’s Critics Poll in 1979 and Grammies for Best Historical Album for The Complete Capitol Recordings of the Nat King Cole Trio (Mosaic) in 1992 and The Complete Billie Holiday on Colum- bia 1933–1944 (Columbia) in 2001 and Best Liner Notes for The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet 1965–1968 (Columbia/Mosaic) in 1998.
