Fresh Sound Records
Fresh Sound Records is an independent record label based in Barcelona with a long-standing dedication to jazz.
Renowned for its work in recovering and reissuing historical recordings, the label has helped bring back into circulation essential mid-20th century jazz sessions and artists, presented with high editorial standards.
At the same time, through its Fresh Sound New Talent imprint, founded in 1992, it has played a key role in discovering and promoting new generations of musicians internationally. Over the years, it has supported the early careers of artists who later became leading figures in contemporary jazz, such as Brad Mehldau, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Robert Glasper, Chris Cheek, Kris Davis, The Bad Plus and Ambrose Akinmusire, among many others.
