32 Records

Defunct US record label established in 1995 by record producer [a=Joel Dorn] and attorney [a=Robert Miller (32)]. Active until March 2001.
It was named for Dorn's favorite sports number.
Its [l=32 Jazz] imprint released a successful series of compilation albums. It also released new material by artists such as [a=The Jazz Passengers] and established [l=32 R&B], [l=32 Blues], [l=32 Groove], and [l=32 Pop] subsidiaries.
In 1996, 32 Records acquired the holdings of the [l=Muse Records] and [l=Landmark Records (3)] labels, and established the [l=32 Jazz] subsidiary in 1997 with the aim of re-issuing numerous jazz recordings.
In March 2000, Joel Dorn resigned from the company and formed [l=Label M] later that year.
