Jazz Record Tapestries

Vee-Jay Records is an American record label founded in the 1950s, located in Chicago and specializing in blues, jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll. The label was founded in Gary, Indiana, in 1953 by Vivian Carter and James C. Bracken, a husband-and-wife team who used their initials for the label's name. Vivian's brother, Calvin Carter, was the label's A&R man. Ewart Abner, formerly of Chance Records, joined the label in 1955, first as manager, then as vice president, and ultimately as president.

Verve Records was founded in 1956 by Norman Granz, widely acknowledged as the most successful impresario in the history of jazz. The label was home to the world's largest jazz catalog which included some of the greatest jazz artists of all time. Verve also absorbed the catalogs of Granz's earlier labels, Clef, founded in 1946, Norgran, founded in 1953, and material previously licensed to Mercury. In addition to his extensive work in promoting jazz music, Granz was known for his anti-racist positions and for integrating jazz audiences in a time when integrating anything was pretty unheard of in a lot of places.

'Sometimes if you stand further away from something, it does not seem as big. Sometimes you can stand so close to something you can not tell what you are looking at' is a 7” released by Cap'n Jazz in 1993. The Chicago emo band formed in 1989, and after a number of name changes, the band built up a solid cult following throughout Chicago and the Midwest. With one studio album, two singles, a bunch of complication appearances, and a posthumous anthology after the band's 1995 breakup, Cap'n Jazz was relatively short-lived, but made a huge impact on the emo genre.
