About Justin Time
Montrealer Jim West founded Justin Time Records in 1983. The label's first recording, inspired by a particularly swinging evening at a local jazz club, was also pianist Oliver Jones' first foray into jazz as a leader. Since then, the label has released more than 300 recordings. Although Justin Time is recognized mainly as a jazz label, its catalogue of recordings also features albums in the musical genres of blues, gospel, world, comedy, film soundtracks and folk.
In 1990, the label launched Just A Memory Records, a label devoted to unique re-issues and previously unreleased gems. Some of the series featured on that label are the Rising Sun Collection and Collectors' Classics, both showcasing live recordings made in various Montreal venues in the 1960's and 1970's. In 1997, Justin Time launched another imprint, Just A Minute Records, whose musical direction has a decidedly rock angle.
In addition to all the accolades received from such international publications as Billboard, Downbeat, Jazz Times, Musician, Wire, Jazz Magazine, Jazz Podium, Swing Journal, Coda, The Jazz Report and Jazzman, Justin Time and its artists were awarded many prizes for their recordings. Here is, by year, a list of those prizes:
