Candid's vintage catalogue includes recordings by legends such as Charles Mingus, Abbey Lincoln. Cecil Taylor, Booker Little, Coleman Hawkins, Eric Dolphy and many others.

Developing artists include Jamie Cullum, Stacey Kent, Alex Wilson, Olga Konkova, Terell Stafford, Ingrid Laubrock, Jessica Williams, Jim Tomlinson, and Hector Martignon. Alan Bates, President/CEO of Candid, himself observes "there is amazing amount of wonderful talent to be heard far and wide in the jazz world at the end of this twentieth century. CANDID will continue to expose both established and emerging young artists and to strive at all times to live up to the important legacy handed down from those halcyon years."
