Town Crier is a New York-based, independent record label featuring WORLD-CLASS jazz artists. We specialize in mainstream jazz, solo piano, big band, latin jazz and vocal a cappella. We are committed to making audiophile-quality recordings. Some comments from the press: "New record labels have a difficult task in the best of times, and few ventures survive. Independent jazz labels have traditionally charted a particularly rocky course, struggling for a niche in what is already a tiny segment of the market. That's why one really has to admire a company for making the effort, particularly when, as is the case with Town Crier, they do it with a finesse and commitment to quality that distinguish them from the crowd." -- Fanfare "The sound quality is superb, the packaging respectful and the overall effort exemplary. Town Crier may be a relative newcomer to the jazz recording field, but (their) intelligence, sensitivity and pluck epitomize what jazz is all about." -- CMJ New Music Report "The label is already as noteworthy for the technical excellence it maintains as it is for the superb performances it captures." -- Stereo Review CD Buyer's Guide "The Town Crier recording has wonderful room sound." -- Coda Magazine
