Intakt Records

An independent Jazz record label located in Zürich since 1986. Almost 400 recordings have been released to date.

«Small in budget, but immense in quality,» praises «All About Jazz New York» the CD-label Intakt Records. «The predominance and growth of independent labels continues. What would we do without the little guys?» – Intakt has made a special effort to document the development of many distinguished artists. The extraordinary critical acclaim has been surpassed only by the enthusiasm of the subscribers of the Intakt Records series.
