We're celebrating the music and musicians of Arhoolie Records, the Berkeley-based record company devoted to roots music, blues and jazz, Mexican and Cajun, gospel and country. Arhoolie was founded in 1960 by late producer Chris Strachwitz, who passed away in May. “Arhoolie” is a word for an African American field holler in the South. Young Chris Strachwitz arrived in America from Germany after the war. The first thing he loved was jump jazz on the radio and on jukeboxes. In school, Chris discovered hillbilly and mariachi music on border radio. He skipped class to hear Kid Ory, George Lewis, Big Jay McNeely and Muddy Waters. That's a good education for his future life as a record producer. I visited Chris in back of his record store in El Cerrito, California and asked how Arhoolie Records began.
