Using the same manufacturing space and distribution network that they used to service and deliver jukeboxes, the brothers built Modern Records (to which the name was shortened in 1948) into a force among labels that recorded black music.
Along with Chess, Specialty and other relatively small labels, Modern recorded, pressed and distributed some of the most influential blues and rhythm and blues records of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.

Jan Erik Kongshaug NORW 1944-2019
(...) recording engineer who helped sculpt the rich and quietly splendorous sound of ECM Records, an influential label that has produced timeless jazz and contemporary classical recordings
(...) came with ECM, where he engineered or mastered hundreds of albums from 1970 until the end of his life.
Though he played a more inconspicuous role than Manfred Eicher, the label’s renowned founder and main producer, Mr. Kongshaug was arguably just as crucial to defining the famous “ECM sound,” which relied on precision and fidelity and used heavy helpings of reverb to create a feeling of both magnitude and intimacy.
