CTI Records

CTI Records, fondazione 1967: artisti e album jazz dell'etichetta.

La CTI Records (Creed Taylor Internazional o Creed Taylor Incorporated) è un'etichetta jazz fondata nel 1967 da Creed Taylor, inizialmente come una società controllata da A&M Records. Taylor, che aveva precedentemente fondato la Impulse Records ed aveva lavorato per la Verve Records, si era guadagnato un'ottima reputazione come rispettato produttore di album jazz. Le sue produzioni per CTI condividevano uno stile tipicamente caldo, morbido finalizzato a creare un'atmosfera smooth jazz. L'etichetta è diventata anche famosa per le immagini delle copertine degli album, molte delle quali dell'artista fotografo Pete Turner. Tra gli artisti di rilievo che incisero per l'etichetta ci sono stati George Benson, Eumir Deodato, Paul Desmond, Gabor Szabo, Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, Wes Montgomery, Hubert Laws, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Bob James, Larry Coryell e molti altri.

Profilo dell'etichetta

CTI (short for Creed Taylor Inc.) is a US record label owned and overseen by jazz producer Creed Taylor. Label Code: LC 1969 / LC 01969.

He began the CTI label in 1967 as an imprint of Herb Alpert's A&M Records. Three years later Taylor took CTI out from under the A&M umbrella and relaunched CTI as an independent label. From June 1974 to May 1976, CTI and its sublabels were exclusively distributed in the USA by Motown Record Corporation.

In 1978, the label filed for bankruptcy; however, much of its catalog has remained in print (Creed Taylor launched the 8000 reissue series in 1979.) Taylor and Vic Chirumbolo, CTI's Vice-President and Sales Manager, pulled through and formed a new distribution deal with Columbia Records, but this deal was short lived, and ended in 1980 with Columbia retaining the rights to CTI's master tape library (i.e., the titles released between 1970 and 1979.) Then the label went independent once again, and continued active until 1984, releasing new albums by such artists as Jim Hall, Roland Hanna and the all-star studio band Fuse One.

Creed Taylor restructured CTI in 1989, following a jury award as a result of the long running lawsuit with Warner Brothers
