Discography notes

Bear Family Records, in addition to being a record label, is a distributor for Delmark Records

Stash Records, also a record label, distributed for Hoy Hoy Records

Stash Records, Inc., which took its name from the subject of its first album, Reefer Songs (1976),^[2] was founded in 1975, became a New York entity May 4, 1977, operated through the late 1990s, and dissolved as a corporation March 28, 2001. Initially located in Brooklyn, Stash moved to 611 Broadway, Suite 411, New York City, then to 140 West 22nd Street, 12 Floor, New York City, both in the West Village. Founded as an independent jazz label — focused on non-commercial vintage jazz and blues — Stash evolved, and produced new artists. In 1992, it launched its Stash Mail Order division. Bernard (Bernie) Brightman (1921–2003) was the founder and ran it until it closed.^[3] In 1986, Stash announced a discovery of a tape featuring Charlie Parker in a hotel with sidemen from the 1943 Earl Hines band.^[4] In 1994, Stash's Daybreak label released a recording of President Bill Clinton playing the saxophone with a six-piece jazz combo on a visit to Prague. Brighton founded and ran two other labels:

Jive
Daybreak M.O. Inc., a New York entity, incorporated April 29, 1994, dissolved December 29, 1999, doing business as Daybreak Express Records, an all-jazz mail-order company
