Leaning House Records was an American independent record label based in Dallas, Texas, specializing primarily in jazz music. Founded in 1994 by Mark Elliott and Keith Foerster, the label operated until 1999.
During its five years of activity, Leaning House Records released recordings by notable jazz artists including Earl Harvin, Shelley Carroll, Wessell Anderson, Donald Edwards, Fred Sanders, and the Fantastic Voices of Harmony.
Despite critical acclaim for some of its releases, the label ceased operations in 1999 due to financial challenges. Founder Mark Elliott attributed the closure to the relatively small market share of jazz albums within the broader music industry. [1]
