New Jazz labels on arkiv
Naxos of America is proud to assume physical distribution of the renowned Danish jazz label SteepleChase. The SteepleChase catalogue is now for sale here at Arkivmusic.com, your source for great jazz and classical recordings on vinyl and CD.
SteepleChase owes its inception in 1972 to American expatriates such as Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Kenny Drew, and Duke Jordan who became a major force on the European jazz scene of the 60s and 70s’. SteepleChase has also introduced to the world some of the finest European jazz musicians such as Tete Montoliu, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Pierre Dørge and re-introduced then neglected American artists like Shirley Horn, Louis Smith, and Walt Dickerson.
SteepleChase is proud to have introduced a host of now-famous artists such as Andy LaVerne, Rich Perry, Stephen Riley, George Colligan, Gary Versace, Brian Charette, Jason Palmer, and Allegra Levy, among many others to the world by offering them their debut dates.
SteepleChase releases 20 plus recordings per year with new recordings. Other labels within the SteepleChase group include SteepleChase LookOut that offers a desperately needed platform for those up-and-coming artists who deserve exposure and recognition; Kontrapunkt is dedicated to contemporary and classical annotated music, Canzone was founded in Denmark in the 1980s by Danish classical musician/sound engineer Jesper Jørgensen to feature under-recorded elite artists both in classical and jazz repertoire.
