Ogun Records

Encyclopedia : O : OG : OGU : Ogun Records



 

Ogun Records was created by the husband and wife team of Hazel Miller and Harry Miller, to document the music being created by a group of open-minded musicians in London at the end of the 1960s and into the 1970s.

It has proved notable, recording important work by musicians such as The Brotherhood of Breath, The Blue Notes, Chris McGregor, Elton Dean, Keith Tippett, Louis Moholo and Harry Beckett.

The label remains active, inspite of Harry Miller being killed in a car accident in 1983, although new releases are infrequent. Hazel Miller continues to run the company, in association with John Jack of Cadillac Music, and the catalogue is slowly re-emerging on CD.
