history
Cristal Records was founded by the producer Éric Debègue (* 1967) deliberately as an alternative to the big recording companies and focused on jazz ; Cristal Production had existed as an artist collective since 1992 . At the same time there is a music publisher called Cristal Publishing . The catalog initially focused on jazz. The label represents musicians such as Pol Belardi , Pierre Bertrand , Stéphane Bertrand , Carine Bonnefoy , Sophia Domancich , David Enhco , Antonio Faraò , Dominique Fillon , Nicolas Folmer , Riccardo Del Fra , Pierre-Alain Goualch , Simon Goubert , John Greaves , Olivier Hutman , Petros Klampanis , Lionel Martin , Mico Nissim , Paris Jazz Big Band , Eric Plandé , David Reinhardt , Yochk'o Seffer , Mario Stanchev , Sébastien Texier or Catia Werneck .
The takeover of the independent label RDC Records , founded by Franck Hagège , which in addition to its jazz productions is mainly known in the accordion sector (and also brought in several works by Django Reinhardt ), made it possible to expand the production and publishing catalog at the end of 2005 and include other business areas such as Tapping into film music . The label has created several sub-labels for different genres: 10h10 for world music , song , hip-hop , electro , BOriginal for film music, Le label dans la Forêt , which publishes productions for a young audience; jazz continues to be marketed under Cristal Records . The label also presented collections such as B. Chansons Creoles (2012) or Cristal Records Presents Jazz Guitar (2016) and CD boxes, e.g. B. with female singers ( Les Prima Donna du Jazz , 2012).
