Jim Ginsburg is the founder and president of Cedille Records. He oversees all of Cedille's releases and produces a majority of them. Cedille Records has grown to be one of Chicago's greatest ambassadors of classical music, garnering 18 Grammy nominations and six Grammy Awards for its recordings. In 2009, the Chicago Tribune named Ginsburg a "Chicagoan of the Year," writing" Let's hear it for James Ginsburg. The Chicagoan is one of the last independent entrepreneurs in classical recording, a man who has stuck to his artistic vision and made a success of it at a time of market shrinkage and industry downsizing."

Founder and President of Cedille Records Jim Ginsburg discusses the Chicago-based mission of his record label, the importance of physical CDs, and making collectibles.
