Carl Jefferson

Carl Jefferson

Carl Jefferson (1920 – 29 March 1995) was an American jazz record producer, and was the founder of the Concord Records label.

Prior to entering the music business, Jefferson sold used cars. In 1969, he organized a jazz festival in Concord, California, the Concord Summer Festival; several years later it was renamed the Concord Jazz Festival. He founded Concord Records in 1972 to offer many of his favorite musicians an outlet for recording; the label initially specialized in guitarists (Herb Ellis, Charlie Byrd, Barney Kessel) but soon branched out into swing (Scott Hamilton, Warren Vache, Dan Barrett, Howard Alden, Ken Peplowski), Great American Songbook (Rosemary Clooney, Mel Torme, Marty Paich), and latin jazz (Cal Tjader, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Poncho Sanchez). Jefferson acted as producer for well over 500 recording sessions.
