Stretch Records was established in 1997 by pianist/composer/producer Chick Corea and music industry veteran Ron Moss.
The label claims to promote "music with no boundaries" though it has mostly released jazz music. Corea is the main artistic director of the label which is marketed and distributed by Concord Records.
Stretch Records has released albums by such artistes as Bob Berg, Avishai Cohen, Eddie Gomez, John Patitucci, Bud Powell (Stretch Archives), Wallace Roney, and Dave Weckl, among others.
Corea and Moss initially launched the label in 1992 with John Patitucci's Heart of the Bass, (distributed by MCA) though there was no significant output until Stretch joined with Concord in February 1997.
Famous quotes containing the words stretch and/or records:
“I stretch lame hands of faith, and grope,
And gather dust and chaff, and call
To what I feel is Lord of all,
And faintly trust the larger hope.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
