Stretch Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stretch Records was established in 1997 by pianist/composer/producer Chick Corea and music industry veteran Ron Moss.

The label claims to promote "music with no boundaries" though it has mostly released jazz music. Corea is the main artistic director of the label which is marketed and distributed by Concord Records.

Stretch Records has released albums by such artistes as Bob Berg, Avishai Cohen, Eddie Gomez, John Patitucci, Bud Powell (Stretch Archives), Wallace Roney, and Dave Weckl, among others.

Corea initially launched the label in 1992 with John Patitucci's Heart of the Bass, (distributed by MCA) though there was no significant output until Stretch joined with Concord in February 1997.
