| The
American Jazztone label existed between the years 1955 and 1957.
It was a short-lived outgrowth of the Concert Hall Society, a predominately
classical mail order company. Jazz historian George T. Simon served as
Jazztone's A&R director. Although portions of the Jazztone catalog
were marketed through retail record stores, availability and distribution
were often dicey. Jazztone recordings were reissued in Germany on that
country's version of the Jazztone label, in France on Guilde du Jazz, and
in the U.S. on Hall of Fame Records. Jazztone issued material from
various labels with a mix of reissues from other
labels. Also, Jazztone issued a number of its own recordings. |
