J-Bird Records Survivor of Dot Com Shakeout; Upcoming Promotions Poise Label
For Profitability in 2001
WILTON, Conn., Nov 7, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- J-Bird Music Group (OTC
Bulletin Board: JBRD), now entering its fourth year in operation, is currently
in the midst of one of its best quarters ever and anticipates profitability in
2001. The label has recently streamlined operating costs, reduced overhead and
consolidated inventory, all helping to reduce the company's break even point.
Additionally, upcoming announcements will include national television
appearances by J-Bird's top-selling group Rockapella, promotion with a leading
cable network, overseas distribution, website enhancements and more.
"While many dot-com companies are here today-gone tomorrow, J-Bird Records was
the first world wide web recording label and has weathered the storm over the
past four years," comments Jay Barbieri, CEO and President of J-Bird Records.
"Many of our upcoming promotions will make 2001 a break through year and
position J-Bird as one of the longest surviving and profitable dot-com
companies." Barbieri has recently relocated to the West Coast to further various
J-Bird corporate partnerships, tap into the L.A. music scene and heighten the
label's overall West Coast presence
