Gerardo Frisina is a vital piece of the Ishtar equation. His deep knowledge of
jazz has been key in the creation and success of Ishtar, which houses
most notably the Schema and Rearward labels. He began as a producer for
artists involved with Ishtar and quickly moved into production of his
own records. This began with the release of Ad Lib in 2001 and has
since brought us Hi Note and The Latin Kick. Along the way, he has
managed to ring up an impressive catalog of remixes of modern jazz
tunes, as well as an incredible selection of classic artists including
the likes of Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, and more. -DJ Offbeat
