Circle Records Germany | Record Company and Jazz Label
Circle Jazz Recordings
What began in 1976 with Circle Records' jazz recordings continues to this day.
We have decided to re-release a selection of these rare jazz recordings in digital format.
The original vinyl editions are quite rare due to limited pressings and many of them are in collectors hand.
By making them available for streaming, we can introduce these jazz rarities to a wider audience.
To ensure the best possible sound quality, the original recordings will be carefully restored and mastered.
Many of the live recordings were affected by poor acoustics in small, noisy clubs, while the recording equipment of the 1970s and 80s often had technical limitations.
Thanks to modern audio technology, these recordings will be significantly enhanced.
Both live and studio recordings will be remastered, and all re-releases will feature new cover artwork while maintaining their original tracklists.
As an independent jazz label, we value the freedom to preserve, improve, and share exceptional music.
These recordings capture unique collaborations, live performances, and hidden gems from the worlds of jazz, free-jazz, fusion, and beyond.
Discover an exclusive collection of rare jazz albums featuring legendary artists like Chet Baker, Billy Cobham, Karl Ratzer and many more.
We are excited to bring these jazz recordings back to life and truly hope you enjoy listening to them.
