Coronet
1948 - 1949
Coronet Records was a regional San Francisco-based label founded by Dixieland trombonist Jack Sheedy around 1948 and responsible for the first recordings of Dave Brubeck (1949).
When Sheedy could not pay Dave Brubeck for his work, Brubeck bought the matrices for his recordings so they could be re-released on Max and Sol Weiss' Fantasy label.
Eventually, Coronet Records transitioned into Fantasy Records under the ownership of Max and Sol Weiss. Fantasy Records continued the legacy of Coronet by recording and issuing music by the Dave Brubeck Trio and other artists.
