Arabesque Records is an American record company and label specializing in jazz and classical music.

It was founded by Ward Botsford with Caedmon Audio as a classical music label. In 1988 it was acquired by Botsford and Marvin Reiss, becoming an independent label, and in 1992 added jazz to its production, with early releases by Craig Handy and Carmen Lundy. Its catalogue grew to include Jane Ira Bloom, Thomas Chapin, Dave Douglas, Art Farmer, Billy Hart, Myra Melford, and Charles McPherson, and Horace Tapscott. [1]
