Tempo Records (UK)

Tempo Records was a British record label. This label was a jazz subsidiary of British Decca started in 1949 by Colin Pomroy and Ron Davis. This label had two periods of activity. In the late 'forties and early 'fifties musicians working in the revivalist idiom recorded for the marque. Recordings of this kind of jazz largely dried up after 1953. From about 1955, modernists such as Jimmy Deuchar, Tubby Hayes and Dizzy Reece were recorded. The last recording session took place in late 1960, and the label was subsequently wound up. The majority of the recordings by modern jazz musicians have been reissued on CD by Jasmine Records.

Tempo records, based on the success of the original name, was reformed within its original homeland UK as a limited company / Record label in 2007 by two successful music producers who both have extensive skills in there professions, as with the original record label Tempo Records is commited to there artisits and musicians alike. Unlike its predecessor and to fit with modern tastes Tempo Records is now dedicated to the production and sale of electronica music genres as well as international artists.
