Live and act
Feldman started his career in the music industry in marketing at record labels such as PolyGram , Rhino Records and the Concord Music Group . George Klabin, who had worked as a sound engineer in the 1960s and had sold his two New York recording studios in 1981, then founded the non-profit organization Rising Stars Foundation , from which the label Resonance emerged in 2008, with which productions with Dado Moroni , Christian Howes , Tamir Hendelman and Eddie Daniels were created. In 2009, Klabin hired Zev Feldman to head the label.
Feldman, who has since been involved in projects with labels such as Elemental Music , Sunset Blvd Records, Impulse! Records , Real Gone Music and Sam / Saga Records cooperated, specializing in his work for Resonance on the rediscovery and production of previously unpublished archive finds in the field of jazz, for example by John Coltrane , Wes Montgomery , Thelonious Monk , Bill Evans and Larry Young . Feldman also produced several releases for other labels (including a remake of Bobbie Gentry's album Ode to Billie Joe and newly discovered live sets by Etta Jones and Cannonball Adderley ), but also previously unreleased material by Eric Dolphy called Musical Prophet . Since the beginning of 2019, Feldman has also been working for the Verve Music Group of Universal Music Group; The focus of the work should be the 80th anniversary of the Blue Note Records label .
Feldman was named Rising Star Producer at the Down Beat Critic's Poll in 2016 for his involvement in 26 historic jazz recordings; Stereophile Magazine called him the " Indiana Jones of Jazz."
