Commercial Parties
Most jazz labels today are small independent structures, producing on a small scale. A large part of them has gathered within Les Allumés du jazz (see cell 4). Artists often work in self-production. In addition, labels are frequently connected to other structures (festivals, venues, collectives); below are only ones that are not and should be open to proposals.
