In 1933, Nesuhi (1917-89) took Ahmet (1923-) to see the orchestras of Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington in London (what sophisticates they were); by the 1940s the boys were hosting famed jazz musicians (mostly fl) to lunch and jam sessions at the Turkish embassy, provoking scandal in racially segregated Washington.
In 1947, helped by a $10,000 loan from his dentist, Ahmet and fellow jazz hound Herb Abramson founded Atlantic.

 Atlantic Records Story - Label Histories
Herb Abramson, the least well known of the Atlantic stalwarts, was in at the beginning but seems to have been dogged by missed opportunities.
Unfortunately for Herb, he was drafted in 1953 and when he returned two years later he was out of touch with current trends and found Jerry Wexler installed in the company - he sold his interest in the company for $300,000 and that was the last of his direct involvement in the Atlantic label.
Ahmet Ertegun, co-founder with Abramson, had both money and a creative vision and throughout the 50s contributed to the label not just by providing capital but by recruiting and producing artists of the quality of Lavern Baker, Joe Turner and Ray Charles.
