About Newvelle Records

Founded in 2015, Newvelle Records emerged from a simple but radical idea: that recorded music could once again be treated as a complete artistic object. Built around a subscription-based model, the label paired newly commissioned recordings by leading improvisers with museum-quality vinyl, original visual art, and carefully considered design, inviting listeners into a deeper, more intentional relationship with the music. From the beginning, Newvelle prioritized long-term artistic vision over market trends, fostering collaborations that emphasized trust, risk, and creative freedom. Over the past decade, the label has released a wide-ranging catalog featuring many of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz, earning international recognition for its sound quality, curatorial coherence, and commitment to honoring both artist and audience through craftsmanship, care, and community.
