Leo Records

Leo Records is a prolific British free improvisation / avant-jazz / new music independent label, established in 1979 by a Russian expatriate producer Leo Feigin.
Label Code: LC 5417 / LC 05417
According to Feigin, his label is producing 'highly original, innovative, improvisation-based new music that refuses to be submitted to the market forces, that goes against the grain of current wisdoms; music that asks questions, provokes debate, generates ideas.' While Leo Records has been working with some artists for many decades, all material is released on single-album basis, without ongoing record deals and any contractual obligations. Praised by the critics, and described in The Penguin Guide to Jazz as "one of the most significant independent labels of recent times," Feigin's Leo Records became a significant pillar in the world of radical/innovative music, on par with John Zorn's Tzadik and Martin Davidson's Emanem.

With over 800 releases in the catalog, Leo Records has published numerous studio and concert recordings, both archival and modern, by Ivo Perelman, Matthew Shipp, Anthony Braxton, The Art Ensemble Of Chicago, John Wolf Brennan, Sun Ra, Eugene Chadbourne, Evan Parker, Wil
