Prestige Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Prestige Records was a record label founded in 1949 by Bob Weinstock (October 2, 1928–January 14, 2006). |
 | | Around 1958, Prestige began to diversify, reviving the New Jazz name, usually for recordings by emerging musicians, and introduced the Swingsville and Moodsville lines, though these were relatively shortlived, many albums being re-released later in the 1960s on Prestige itself. |
 | | Musicians recording for the label at this time, including Jaki Byard and Booker Ervin, were perhaps less celebrated than their predecessors in the labels existence, but Prestige remained commercially viable by recording a number of soul jazz artists like Charles Earland. |
