Cadet Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cadet Records was started as Argo Records in 1955 as the jazz subsidiary of Chess Records. Argo changed its name in 1965 to Cadet to avoid confusion with the similarly named label in the UK. Cadet stopped releasing records around 1971 when its artists were released via Chess.
The masters are now owned by Universal Music.
