Jazzland Records

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jazzland Records was an American jazz label from the 1960s.

Jazzland Records was founded in 1960 by Bill Grauer and Orrin Keepnews as a subcontractor of their label Riverside Records .

It was originally planned to re-release older Riverside releases, such as the album Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (JLP 946), but was then also used for original releases such as a number of albums by Cannonball Adderley , Chet Baker , Junior Cook , Clifford Jordan , Harold Land , Thelonious Monk / John Coltrane, of the Mel Ryne sextet with Blue Mitchell and Johnny Griffin ( Organ-izing , 1960), Paul Gonsalves ( Gettin´ Together , 1960), Sonny Red or Nat Adderley ( In the Bag , 1962). The catalog from Jazzland and Riverside Records was taken over by Fantasy Records after its end ; the rights are now held by the Concord Music Group , which took over Fantasy Records in 2004 .
