Title
Palmetto Records
Description
Palmetto Records has been an independent leading voice in music since it was founded in 1990. Through its choice of innovative artists and careful attention to sonic value, it has emerged as a heavyweight label, as well as being listed as one of the best jazz labels for four years running in the Down Beat Critics’ Poll.. Its original mission of enabling artists to fulfill their creative visions has remained the label’s focus more than 12 years and 120 releases later. According to Palmetto founder and producer, Matt Balitsaris, the label has succeeded so well because it makes music that matters to the artist and to the audience. Palmetto also supports artists who are often overlooked or are considered somewhat "left of center". This enables the label to help expand the boundaries and even the vocabulary of jazz, and also gives the artists the freedom they need to make great music. Palmetto truly believes the future of jazz is now.
While Palmetto’s roster features both established artists and up-and-coming musicians, all of the artists share certain attributes. They have developed a distinct musical voice, both as instrumentalists and as composers. They have musical vision that encompasses jazz history but creatively moves the music forward. And finally they are proven bandleaders, with the discipline and drive to maintain working bands that translate their vision to the public. With few exceptions, Balitsaris produces Palmetto’s releases at Maggie’s Farm, his unique recording facility located in a 19th century stone barn in eastern Pennsylvania.
