The History of Jazz Inspiration
JAZZ INSPIRATION Records came into being in 1991 as the brainchild of
entertainment lawyer Arnold B. Schwisberg. It grew out of the highly
successful Jazz Inspiration Radio Network (until 1991, the most widely
syndicated jazz show in Canada), and evolved into one of the highest
quality labels in the Canadian market. JAZZ INSPIRATION Records
is the only independent label that is distributed by a major record
company, namely Allegro. In its relatively short history, JAZZ
INSPIRATION Records has amassed a catalogue of 25 releases and has
garnered critical success and listener applause. We aim to search out
and produce world-class artists and performers; to that end, JAZZ
INSPIRATION Records straddles today's jazz spectrum from mainstream
to contemporary. To date the label and its artists have been awarded seven
Juno awards. The label's artists have admirers in pianists Chick
Corea and Oscar Peterson; and in U.S. publications Cadence Magazine,
Downbeat Magazine and The Los Angeles Times.
