Biography
Founded in New York City in 1949 by Bob Weinstock, Prestige Records is one of the most influential jazz labels in history. The labelâs catalog focused on a series of jazz subgenres including cool jazz, bop and mainstream jazz. The labelâs roster over the years included many of the genreâs legendary performers including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Stan Gets, Gene Ammons and many others. Many of Prestigeâs contracted artists often worked collaborated on each otherâs albums in the studio. Some of the albums were issued under a single artistâs name while others were released under several artistsâ names. There was a series of recordings in the late 1950s without any clear leader and these were issued under the group name the Prestige All Stars. In 1957, three albums were issued under the group name, all of them featuring different group line-ups: All Day Long, Earthy, and All Night Long. The albums featured high profile artists such as Donald Byrd (trumpet), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Art Taylor (drums), Tommy Flanagan (piano), Mal Waldron (piano), Art Farmer (trumpet), Ed Thigpen (drums), Hank Mobley (saxophone), and many others. Further albums released under the Prestige All Stars name include Roots (1958) and Wheelinâ & Dealinâ (1959). The group name has been revived on several releases throughout the years, but nothing has matched the impact â and legend â of the original releases in the 1950s.
