	Fantasy Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The label was the first to record "in person" performances by Lenny Bruce.
		The labels were named in honor of fantasy and science fiction magazines; the logotype of the first Fantasy label was taken from the distinctive first logo for The Magazine of Fantasy, which with its second issue became The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction; the distinctive logotype of Galaxy Science Fiction was not appropriated.
		Fantasy also built its landmark headquarters building at the corner of Tenth and Parker in Berkeley, California in 1970 which was nicknamed "the house that Creedence built." In 2004 Fantasy was sold to a consortium led by Norman Lear and merged with Concord Records to create a new company called Concord Music Group.

	CD reviews of Original Jazz Classics Samplers from Fantasy
		While Fantasy Records itself is best-known as the label that handled (and ultimately alienated) Creedence Clearwater Revival, it was founded in the early 1950s as a vehicle for pianist Dave Brubeck to distribute his own recordings.
		Among those who recorded for Fantasy in the 1950s heyday of West Coast Jazz were Vince Guaraldi (famed for his soundtracks to the animated "Peanuts" TV specials), Chet Baker, Stan Getz and Cal Tjader.
		Riverside Records was founded by a couple of young jazzhounds in the early 1950s, and unaccountably grew into another one of the best jazz labels on the scene.

	Saul Zaentz - Biography - AOL Music
		After release he studied animal husbandry at Rutgers for a semester, but some actual time spent on a chicken farm proved to Zaentz that it was not his dream vocation and he moved to San Francisco in the early '50s, eventually landing a job as a record distributor for Norman Grantz.
		Between 1968 and 1971 the group was one of the most successful, if not the most successful, bands in America and Zaentz and Fantasy Records made millions off the group.
		In 1977 Fantasy Records acquired the Stax catolog as well as several other small jazz labels to further broaden Fantasy's catalog.

	CD reviews: The Best Of collection from Fantasy Records
		Perhaps these albums in Fantasy's new "Best of" series could be better thought of as "An Introduction To." Because there is some fantastic music here, and each album is, at the very least, a representative sampling of each artist's better recordings.
		And in his case, most of his early recordings as leader were on the Prestige label, so the ten cuts here are a virtual "best of" for the iconoclastic jazz spirit.
		These recordings from 1956 and '57 were his first as leader, and in company of Waldron (in particular) as well as trumpeter Donald Byrd and Hank Mobley, McLean's combination of lush melodicism and hard-edged blowing is already taking root in his playing.

	The History of Stax Records
		Stax Records, a name which is synonymous with Southern soul music, began as Satellite Records in Memphis in 1959.
		The Staple Singers were at their artistic peak when they recorded for Stax during the late 1960s and early 1970s, turning out records that blended a utopian social vision with rhythmic excitement.
		By June 1977, virtually all Stax assets, including all masters, both completed and unfinished recordings, together with all Stax contracts, were purchased by Fantasy Records.

	Gene Ammons - Music Downloads - Online
		Son of the great boogie-woogie pianist Albert Ammons, Gene Ammons (who was nicknamed "Jug") left Chicago at age 18 to work with King Kolax's band.
		Other than a notable stint with Woody Herman's Third Herd in 1949 and an attempt at co-leading a two tenor group in the early '50s with Sonny Stitt, Ammons worked as a single throughout his career, recording frequently (most notably for Prestige) in settings ranging from quartets and organ combos to all-star jam sessions.
		When Ammons returned to the scene in 1969, he opened up his style a bit, including some of the emotional cries of the avant-garde while utilizing funky rhythm sections, but he was still able to battle Sonny Stitt on his own terms.

	Joe Pass - Music Downloads - Online
		He emerged in 1962 with a record cut at Synanon, made a bit of a stir with his For Django set, recorded several other albums for Pacific Jazz and World Pacific, and performed with Gerald Wilson, Les McCann, George Shearing, and Benny Goodman (1973).
		However, in general Pass maintained a low profile in Los Angeles until he was signed by Norman Granz to his Pablo label.
		1973's Virtuoso made him a star and he recorded very prolifically for Pablo, unaccompanied, with small groups, on duo albums with Ella Fitzgerald, and with such masters as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson, and Dizzy Gillespie.

		Granz however achieved an agreement with Mercury Records for the promotion and the distribution of the JATP and other new records.
		It was in 1956 that Ella Fitzgerald finally joined Granz's "community", after a long contract with [[Decca records], and Granz unified his activities under the common label of Verve records.
		Norman Granz is generally remembered also for his notable anti-racist position and for the battles he consequently fought for his artists (many of whom were fl, perhaps the majority), in times and places where skin color was the cause of open discrimination.

		Although 1973's FANTASY did not have the commercial success of 1972's RHYMES AND REASONS, much less the huge sales of 1971's TAPESTRY, it's still one of Carole King's finest albums.
		It's certainly her most complex effort; a 13-song suite where all of the songs segue into one another seamlessly, FANTASY was written, arranged and produced by King.
		Lyrically, FANTASY deliberately moves away from the autobiographical introspection of her earlier albums, returning to the kind of in-character writing of her '60s hits with ex-husband Gerry Goffin.
