Leo Records

Leo Records is an English jazz record label, which releases much Russian jazz in addition to material from American and British musicians.

Leo Records was founded in 1979 by Leo Feigin (also known under his nickname Aleksei Leonidov), a Russian immigrant to Britain. [ [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=1127 Leo Records] , Allaboutjazz.com, February 10, 2004.] It is generally associated with more experimental releases. The label has a close relationship with the artists who release material on the label; it does not sign artists to contracts, but releases their material on a single-album basis.
