==History==
Black Jazz Records was founded in 1969, and released its first four albums on August 1, 1971.〔〔 The founders were Gene Russell, a veteran jazz pianist, and Dick Schory, a Grammy-nominated percussionist also known for his development of the stereo recording techniques quadraphonic sound, Dynagroove, and RCA Victor's Stereo Action.〔Weiss, Lauren Vogel. ("Hall of Fame: Dick Schory." ) ''www.pas.org.'' Retrieved November 20, 2015.〕〔("RCA Victor Stereo Action Series." ) ''www.musiceureka.wordpress.com'', October 29, 2014. Retrieved November 20, 2015.〕 Schory also started Ovation Records in 1969, after leaving RCA. 〔 Ovation financed and distributed Black Jazz Records, while Russell served as an A&R executive.
Russell's vision for Back Jazz Records was for it to be geared towards the Black community, and all of the artists recording for the label were African American.〔 The label was created as an alternative to traditional jazz, invoking a more political and spiritual tone, often with funk overtones.〔("A Tribute to Black Jazz Records." ) ''www.choicecuts.com.'' Retrieved October 12, 2015.〕 Black Jazz released various types of music including, funk, free jazz and soul jazz. A 1974 Billboard Magazine article noted that Doug Carn, one of the label's more successful artists, sold more records than Dave Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis at that time.〔〔 The label existed for six years during its first run, becoming inactive after 1976.〔〔Williams, Jean.
