The Story of Vanguard Box

A vanguard is, by definition, a position at the forefront of new ideas or developments.  And in the fertile musical stomping ground of the early 1960s, some of the newest, most avant-garde ideas were being espoused on the Vanguard Records label.  Yet these so-called radical, even "dangerous" thoughts were being espoused in forms so traditional, they might have seemed as old as time.  Vanguard was formed in 1950 by Maynard and Seymour Solomon as a classical label and later moved into jazz.  The

VA Hallelujah TheSongsofLeonardCohen Ace plain

"I've never gotten over the pleasure of someone covering one of my songs," Leonard Cohen once said.

Sure, there's the million-and-one covers of "Hallelujah," but even before the 1967 release of his debut Songs of Leonard Cohen, early supporters like Judy
