Jms

Profile

French jazz and jazz-fusion label. [b]JMS[/b] was originally established by Jean-Marie Salhani during the 1970s as a management (phonographic copyright and publishing) company, with early releases known on Eurodisc. In 1979 Salhani established [b][l=Disques JMS][/b], which later became known as [b]JMS[/b] or [b][l=JMS.][/b] with Disques JMS reverting back to company roles. The [b]JMS[/b] label was launched after the creation on the JMS/[url=http://www.discogs.com/label/50231-CREAM-Records-3]Cream Records[/url] company in 1983 with distribution via [l=Adès]. As a main label it existed 1983/84 (and possibly a little while after). Original JMS releases do not have barcodes. The "logo" appeared as two designs: 1. [b]JMS[/b] (standard Arial font) and 2. [b][i]JMS[/b][/i] (Futura Oblique font). Record labels are black/charcoal paper with silver print. Later during the 1980s the new label name/logo [b]JMS.[/b] (JMS"dot") was adopted. In some cases vinyl reissues can be identified by having [b]JMS[/b] or [b][i]JMS[/b][/i] labels with the [b]JMS.[/b] logo on the cover (in such cases include both label names). [b]JMS[/b] is also used as copyright and publishing roles on many releases (and on other labels) and can be added under the appropriate company roles. It also appears as a co-label on many [l50231] releases.
