Leo Records is a British record company and label which releases jazz from Russian, American, and British musicians. It concentrates on free jazz. [1]

Contents

Leo Records was founded in 1979 by Leo Feigin (also known under his broadcasting name Aleksei Leonidov), a Russian immigrant to Britain. [2] The label was particularly associated with establishing the world reputation of the Ganelin Trio during the 1970s and 1980s. [3]

This label is different from the Leo Records that was formed by Edward Vesala in Helsinki, Finland, in 1978. [1]
