Landmark Records

Landmark Records was an American jazz record label founded in 1985 by Orrin Keepnews as a successor to Milestone Records. Landmark Records published albums recorded by the Kronos Quartet of music by Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk, as well as straight jazz albums. Landmark passed to Muse Records in 1993. 32 Jazz acquired the holdings of the Muse and Landmark labels in 1996.[1][2][3][4] In 2003, Savoy Jazz (which had become a subsidiary of Nippon Columbia) acquired the rights to the Muse and Landmark catalogs from 32 Jazz.[5]

(1301-1307 were released under "The Cannonball Addderley Collection Volumes 1-7" and consisted of the Riverside Records masters (originally produced by Orrin Keepnews) that Cannonball took with him when he moved to Capitol Records after Riverside Records went bankrupt. This explains why these were never released as part of the "Original Jazz Classics" series from Fantasy Records, the subsequent owner of the Riverside Records catalog-in addition, V.7 was previously unreleased in the US).
