Biography
Founded in 2008 by pianist/composer Dave Stapleton and photographer Tim Dickeson, Edition Records has developed a formidable reputation as one of the leading and most forward thinking jazz labels in the UK. With over 30 albums in their catalogue, Edition exists to provide emerging talent and established artists a platform to promote their music and release pioneering new recordings.
Edition quickly established international praise through the release of Keith Tippett’s Live at Le Mans, Bourne Davis Kane’s Lost Something as well as Edition’s label boss Dave Stapleton Quintet’s The House Always Wins. Following these acclaimed releases, Edition signed, among others, Troyka and Phronesis, two bands with outstanding musical identities who have developed strong reputations and gone on to tour extensively in the UK and Europe. In 2010, Edition expanded their sound-world via the release of two vocal albums by Tamco and Robert Mitchell’s Panacea. 2010 also saw releases by Neon Quartet and Martin France’s improvised electronic group Spin Marvel, featuring Nils Petter Molvaer. In early 2011, Edition released 3 albums by Meadow, Kairos 4tet and Marius Neset who further pushed musical boundaries, all achieving huge acclaim from the international press.
Driven by a love of the music as well as a passion for design and photography Edition aim to achieve the highest quality in every aspect of a release. With new albums by Phronesis, Troyka, Ivo Neame, Dave Stapleton, Neon Quartet and Marius Neset over the next 12 months, Edition looks set to confirm their reputation as the driving force behind European jazz.
