Origin Records

About Me

"Origin reflects many colors of contemporary jazz…dark and brooding, slick and urban, modern and angular, even seductive and languid. Extremely well-recorded and beautifully packaged, this music will take you "downtown.""
Jeff Hanley
KZAM, San Francisco
"Origin Records is the best of the non-major labels that promote jazz in all its masks. No. I’ll retract that. They are the best, end of story."
Ben Ohmart
Muse's Muse
"Origin Records is emerging as an American foil to the two great German labels - ECM and Winter & Winter."
C. Michael Bailey
