Cadillac Records

Cadillac Records is a British jazz label founded by John Jack and Mike Westbrook in 1973. Initially created to release Westbrook's live album, which was rejected by RCA due to its recording quality, the label took its name from Westbrook's new band, Solid Gold Cadillac. Under John Jack's management and often in association with Ogun, Cadillac Records built a catalogue of some of the most significant contemporary Jazz produced in the UK. Following John Jack's passing in 2018, Mike Gavin took over as the label's owner. As a tribute to JJ, on his birthday and exactly 50 years after the original event, Cadillac released a recording of *Mike Westbrook - The Last Night at Ronnie Scott's Old Place* on May 25th, 2018.
