Greene Street Records
A Jazz Label founded by Creed Taylor. For Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop era recording and mixing, please see Greene St. Recording
Greene Street Records was created by producer Creed Taylor in 1984, for "marketing logistics" according to Taylor's own words. The label was an imprint of Taylor's 2001 Records, Ltd.. All the albums released had been scheduled as CBS/CTI 9000 series records. At the time, Taylor was in a legal dispute with CBS over monies owed. Creating 2001 Records, Ltd, separated his productions from his former CTI label.
Only a few albums were released in the USA under this new imprint, but all of them (including projects by Claudio Roditi, Les McCann, Roger Kellaway, Houston Person and Jack Wilkins) came out in Japan carrying the CTI Records logo and using different catalog numbers. All the albums were engineered by Rudy Van Gelder. Claudio Roditi, Kenia - Red On Red was the first album recorded by Van Gelder at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey that was recorded in digital format.
