Ogun Records is a jazz record label created by the husband and wife team of South African expatriate bassist Harry Miller and Hazel Miller, with sound engineer Keith Beal, initially to record and release the music being created by upcoming Brititsh avant-garde jazz musicians, including Keith Tippett, Mike Osborne, Elton Dean, Lol Coxhill, Harry Beckett, Trevor Watts in the early 1970s, as well as their collaborations with expatriate members of the South African group The Blue Notes, including Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana, Mongezi Feza, Louis Moholo, and Johnny Dyani in groups like McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Dean's Ninesense, and Miller's Isipingo.[1]
The label did not have any releases for several years, beginning in 1980, during which the Millers lived in the Netherlands. Harry Miller was killed in a car accident in 1983.[2] Hazel Miller started releasing new titles on LP in 1986, with help from John Jack of Cadillac Records, and in 1990 switched the format of releases to CD starting with Elton Dean's Unlimited Saxophone Company. Since then, almost every year has seen one to three new additions to the CD catalog. Most are new or unreleased recordings, and some are CD editions of the earlier LP releases.
