Debut Records

Debut Records is a United States jazz record company, which was founded in 1952 by Bassist Charles Mingus, his then wife Celia and Drummer Max Roach, this short lived label was an attempt to avoid the compromises of working for major companies. Intended to showcase work by new musicians (Thad Jones and Paul Bley made their first recordings on the label) only two dozen or so albums were issued before the company was wound up in 1957.
