Okka Disk

These were the albums that started the label. Disk released many key early works by Ken Vandermark and was partly responsible for Fred Anderson's late-career renaissance. The label also recorded European free jazz musicians such as Peter Brötzmann, documenting his transatlantic Chicago Octet and Tentet over ten albums. Since 2009, it organizes the Okka Fest, held in Milwaukee, where Johnson moved in 2002.
