Edition Records is a British independent record label specialising in contemporary jazz and music that crosses into electronica, improvisation and other forms of creative expression.

Established in 2008, Edition is led by founder and Artist Dave Stapleton, a pianist, composer and producer. The catalogue connects artists across the UK, Europe and North America, with releases by Dave Holland, Chris Potter, Gretchen Parlato, Nils Petter Molvær, Jasper Høiby and Sun-Mi Hong.

Edition’s approach centres on musical identity, trust and long-term collaboration. It works with emerging musicians and established artists to bring distinctive projects to listeners worldwide, combining creative freedom with care for how each recording is presented and released.

Alongside Edition’s contemporary jazz catalogue, E2 Music explores the connections between electronic production, cinematic sound, groove and soul.

“Edition Records might be a small but growing operation, but there was a time 40 years ago when ECM Records was at much the same stage in Munich, and Edition reveals similar sixth sense for emerging innovators”. Guardian

“Edition Records has developed into one of the most vital record labels in jazz music”. York Post

“One of the independent labels that best defines the modern era of jazz” Raffaele Costantino — Rai Radio 2, Italy.
