		Discovery Records is a United States based record label known for its recordings of jazz music.
		Marx acquired the back-catalogues of Musicraft Records and Trend Records and reissued them on Discovery through the 1980s.
		His estate sold the Discovery, Trend and Musicraft jazz labels in 1991 to Jac Holzman which he refashioned into a fully contemporary label.

	Mel Torme - Music Downloads - Online
		His recording career picked up in 1958, when he was signed to impresario Norman Granz's jazz-oriented Verve Records, the same label on which such peers as Ella Fitzgerald recorded.
		With Tormé's assistance, Rhino Records mounted the first comprehensive box set of his recordings, The Mel Tormé Collection 1944-1985, in 1996, and in July he recorded the live album An Evening With Mel Tormé for the A&E network; it reached number 25 in the jazz chart.
		While Tormé disavowed some of his recordings in his autobiography, particularly the ones made with pop intentions in the 1960s, his more jazz-styled sides for Musicraft in the '40s, Bethlehem in the '50s, and Concord in the '80s and '90s seem to have met his high standards, as well as those of critics and fans.

	Leadbelly - Music Downloads - Online
		Leadbelly went on to record extensively for Asch and its successors, Disc and Folkways, this material later reissued both by Smithsonian/Folkways (from the 1990s on) and by various small labels that acquired rights to it.
		In 1950, his song "Irene," now called "Goodnight, Irene," was recorded by the Weavers, a folk group including Pete Seeger and other musicians acquainted with Leadbelly, and became a number one pop hit, with hit covers by such pop singers as Frank Sinatra and a number one country recording by Ernest Tubb and Red Foley.
		Leadbelly's own recordings, in addition to the more legitimate reissues on Rounder, Columbia/Legacy, RCA Victor, Capitol, and Smithsonian/Folkways, have turned up on a dizzying number of labels in the CD era, especially as they have come into the public domain in Europe (where copyrights extend only 50 years).

	Leadbelly - Biography - AOL Music
		A few of these recordings were released commercially by Elektra Records in 1966 in a box set called The Library of Congress Recordings and were reissued in 1991 by Rounder Records on a CD called Midnight Special.
		The Lomaxes took a record of the song to the governor's office, though there is no evidence that he actually listened to it.
		During this period, Leadbelly also made more recordings for the Library of Congress, some of which appeared on the 1966 Elektra LP and on the 1991 Rounder albums Midnight Special and Gwine Dig a Hole to Put the Devil In.

	Mel Tormé - Biography - AOL Music
		(Recordings from this show, featuring the Mel-Tones and made between July and October, were issued later on LP on Sounds Great Records in the 1980s as Mel Tormé Live, Vol.
		This was followed by the first of many recordings made in association with pianist/arranger Marty Paich, Mel Tormé and the Marty Paich Dek-Tette, recorded in January 1956, and by a studio-cast recording of Porgy and Bess in which Tormé sang the part of Porgy to Frances Faye's Bess, recorded in May.
		That made for enough recordings for a while, and he stuck to live performances and finishing his sixth book, My Singing Teachers (published in 1994), until May 1994, when he cut the studio album A Tribute to Bing Crosby; it hit number 18 in the jazz chart.

	The Duke Ellington Music Society
		Record release dates present a particular challenge to Lawrence: I can't recall that he cites a single one correctly.
		Ellington's landmark recording of "Reminiscing in Tempo" covered four sides; Brunswick 7546 paired parts 1 and 2, while Brunswick 7547 paired parts 3 and 4; company files show that both records were released on 11/2/35, yet on page 246 Lawrence tells us that the records were released a month apart.
		Columbia Records made a modest donation to the festival (at the instigation of Avakian, who was also on the festival's board of directors and knew that it was struggling financially), but didn't pay the performance fees of any of the artists who appeared there.

	Press Information: Exhibition on Original Cast Recordings
		These albums could be called the first real original cast recordings, but because the shows were not typical Broadway fare, these initial efforts are today considered part of the evolutionary process that led the cast recording to become a common article of popular culture.
		The records by pop stars were important marketing tools for the theatrical productions and often were offered by the record companies in their negotiations to gain the rights to a particular cast album.
		Among the items displayed are record producer Jay David Saks’s handwritten breakdown of the show with his notes for how to record it, a hand drawn layout of the studio set-up, the company call sheet, and a studio log showing how each take progressed.

		Most organ records are bad, and to purists Bach sounds too thick, too soft, when played on an organ built, as most modern organs are, on 19th Century lines.

		Musicraft's "Masterpiece" records, competently performed and well recorded, are largely familiar: the Schubert Serenade, the Brahms Lullaby, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, etc. What makes them notable is that they are sold in drug and chainstores.
		Musicraft's Vice President Paul Puner began experimentally in Manhattan last September, by last week had his platters in 800 stores throughout the land—with sales topping 50,000 a week.
		Musicraft, an outfit which hitherto specialized in high-brow discs, got into the chain-store trade by merest chance.

		This compilation assembles digital transfers from 78 rpm records of some of the earliest discs to be issued by Leadbelly.
		(Its catalog is now controlled by Sony, but with copyright law outside the U.S. allowing recordings into the public domain after 50 years, anyone who wants to can press up an album such as this without paying for licensing.) Leadbelly was encouraged to lean toward a bluesier approach on the ARC sessions.
		He did not make commercial recordings again for four years, when he cut nine songs for Musicraft Records for an album called Negro Sinful Tunes in 1939.

	The Leonard Feather Scrapbooks - DIZZY GILLESPIE
		When you consider that there are between 300 and 400 record companies in this country, and that the ones recording most of the jazz are independent companies that probably don't sell any records outside this country, you can see how difficult it is for anyone abroad to get a true picture.
		One was the list of records he gave as "samples of bebop on current British releases." As far as I could see there wasn't a single record on that list that represented the kind of music that I have become identified with under the name of rebop or bebop.
		Well of course, the right answer is that I'm using an E flat ninth as a passing chord instead of an A seventh, and if the rhythm section feels the same kind of changes I do they will be playing it too.

		Like The Art Of Excellence, the album that marked Tony Bennett's return to recording in 1986, Astoria: A Portrait Of The Artist was a non-thematic collection of new and old songs on which Bennett was backed both by his regular trio, led by pianist Ralph Sharon, and the U.K. Orchestra.
		Romantic tenor Sergio Franchi's Heart of Christmas warms up the holiday season with traditional hymns and two original songs: "The Heart of Christmas" and "Buon Natale." This CD is remastered from the original 1965 tapes.
		While this British import is a reasonable compilation of Dick Haymes' recordings from 1940 to 1946, including four tracks by the Harry James Orchestra and 20 of Haymes' solo recordings for Decca, the album's subtitle, "24 Hits!," and requires the reviewer to note its falsity.

		This session was recorded at Universal Studios, Chicago, not in New York as previous discographies and LP/CD rereleases give in error – research assistance courtesy Dave Usher, telephone conversation with AB, 10 March 2003.
