About

Why this artist matters now

Prestige Records is a record label founded in 1949 that became a principal documentary and distribution platform for postwar jazz. Operating from New York, the label issued hundreds of recordings across bebop, hard bop, and modal jazz throughout the 1950s and 1960s, capturing work by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, and Art Blakey. The label's catalogue remains a foundational archive of mid-century American jazz practice and aesthetics.
