Leo Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leo Records is an English jazz record label, which releases much Russian jazz in addition to material from American and British musicians.
Leo Records was founded in 1979 by Leo Feigin, a Russian immigrant to Britain.[1] It is generally associated with more experimental releases. The label has a close relationship with the artists who release material on the label; it does not sign artists to contracts, but releases their material on a single-album basis.
