Chiaroscuro Records
e una
etichetta discografica
jazz fondata da Hank O'Neal nel 1970.
[1]
Il nome dell'etichetta deriva dal
termine artistico
per l'uso della luce e dell'oscurita in un dipinto. O'Neal invento il nome tramite il suo amico e mentore
Eddie Condon
, un musicista jazz che si esibi in quelli che sono stati chiamati Concerti Chiaroscuro nel 1930.
[2]
O'Neal ha anche preso il nome da un negozio che vendeva solo abiti bianchi e neri.
[3]
O'Neal diresse l'etichetta dal 1969 al 1977 e produsse tutti gli album tranne due. Il suo catalogo comprendeva
Earl Hines
,
Joe Venuti
,
Teddy Wilson
e
Ruby Braff
.
[4]
[5]
O'Neal vendette l'etichetta alla Audiophile Enterprises nel 1978,
[4]
[5]
poi ricompro il catalogo quando fondo la SOS Productions nel 1987. Chiaroscuro pubblico nuovi dischi e ristampe negli
anni '90
.
[4]
Nel 2011, i fondatori di Chiaroscuro donarono la societa alla Northeast Pennsylvania Educational Television Association, proprietaria della WVIA-FM-TV, membro della
PBS
e della
NPR
per la
Pennsylvania nord-orientale
. La WVIA-FM ha utilizzato la libreria di Chiaroscuro per avviare una stazione all-jazz sulla sua terza sottoportante
