Higher Octave

Higher Octave

Higher Octave is a sub-label imprint of Narada Productions, which is part of EMI's Blue Note Records label group, located in New York.

Higher Octave was founded in 1986 as an independent record label specializing in a wide variety of uplifting music, including smooth jazz, New Age music, Latin music and world music. It helped bring "nouveau flamenco" to the world by releasing guitarist Ottmar Liebert's debut LP in 1989.

Higher Octave was acquired by EMI in 1997. In 2004, Higher Octave's offices in Malibu, California, were closed and the label was folded into Narada Productions at a reduced level of staffing and activity while retaining its imprint as a sub-label of Narada.[1][2] Two years later, Higher Octave moved to New York along with Narada and all of its related sub-labels to become part of EMI's merging all of its adult-focused music into the Blue Note Records label group.[3]

High Octave has several sub-labels, such as OmTown and CyberOctave.[4][5]
