Transition Records
Transition Records was an American jazz record label that existed in the second half of the 1950s.
The short-lived record label Transition Records was founded in 1955 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Tom Wilson . Within two years, ten long-playing records were released on his label, including albums by Sam Gary , Sun Ra ( Jazz by Sun Ra ), Donald Byrd ( Byrd's Eye View ), Cecil Taylor ( Jazz Advance ), Lucky Thompson ( Lucky Strikes! ) And Doug Watkins ( Watkins at Large ). Transition also distributed some folk and classical music. The catalog was acquired by United Artists in the late 1950s , for whom Tom Wilson was working as a producer at the time.
