Edition Records
“We work with artists who share a quality of intent and a vision with a drive and commitment to their Art. That’s what really excites us. They are deeply committed to finding their voice and a sound that’s uniquely theirs. They all share this quality, deeply. No compromises. They’re authentic masters of their instrument, on a lifelong pursuit to create. Our goal is to provide the link and connection between their Art and their audiences, wherever they are and however they’re listening”.

About
Edition Records is one of the defining independent labels of the modern era, where bold artistry meets purposeful curation.
Edition stands at the forefront of progressive music, connecting visionary artists with global audiences. Its catalogue bridges generations and geographies, spanning the UK, Europe, North America, and Japan featuring Grammy winners, Mercury Prize nominees, and some of the most influential voices in contemporary jazz and beyond.
Driven by trust, empathy, and long-term collaboration, Edition puts artists at the centre. From Jasper Høiby, Verneri Pohjola, and Sun-Mi Hong to Chris Potter, Kurt Elling, Eyolf Dale, and Frida Touray, each release is rooted in originality, depth, and story.
The label operates through two distinct imprints: Edition Records for improvisation and contemporary jazz, and E2 Music for emotionally rich, genre-defying sounds. With uncompromising attention to detail and a belief in music’s lasting impact, Edition continues to set the standard for meaningful independent music.

‘Edition Records has developed into one of the most vital record labels in jazz music’. YORK POST
‘One of the more artistically credible independent labels to emerge in Europe in some time’. IRISH TIMES
