Concord Records is an American record label owned by Concord Music Group and based in Beverly Hills, California. Concord Records was launched in 1995 as an imprint designed to reach beyond the company's foundational Concord Jazz label.[1] The label's artists have won 14 Grammy Awards and 88 Grammy nominations.


The original logo, a stylized eighth note incorporating the C and J of "Concord Jazz", was created by Bay Area graphic designer Dan Buck, who also worked on several album covers for the company.[2]

History


In 1999, Concord Records was purchased by a consortium led by Hal Gaba and television producer Norman Lear. Its offices were moved from Concord, California to Beverly Hills in 2002. That same year, Concord partnered with Starbucks to release Ray Charles's Genius Loves Company, which won eight Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.[3]


In 2005, it was announced that Concord Records had purchased Telarc Records and its subsidiary Heads Up, in a deal whose terms were not divulged.[4]


In 2007, Concord Records started the Hear Music label in association with Starbucks, signing such artists as Paul McCartney,[5]Joni Mitchell, and John Mellencamp. Although Starbucks ceased to be an active partner a year later, Concord kept Hear active, having a Top 5 album in 2010 with Carole King and James Taylor's Live at the Troubadour.


In 2008, Village Roadshow Pictures Group and Concord Music Group completed their merger, resulting in the creation of the Village Roadshow Entertainment Group.


Kenny G signed to Concord in early 2008,[6]Herb Alpert in early 2009. On June 5, 2009, Dave Koz signed to Concord.[7]


In 2010, it was announced that Paul McCartney's solo and Wings catalogs would be globally distributed by Concord Music Group.[8]
