The word "Addo" is Latin and means to "give; bring; place; inspire". Addo Records is a Canadian music label dedicated to partnerships with talented composers and performers of progressive, improvisational music in the jazz tradition.
In October of 2009, Steve Bellamy launched Addo Records with the hope of creating a catalogue of excellent music that would inspire listeners and fellow musicians, and highlight leading Canadian talent. The label launched with albums by Kirk MacDonald, Ted Quinlan, and Fieldtrip. Since then, more than one third of all Addo Records releases have received JUNO nominations, and two albums have won - Mike Downes in 2014 and Kirk MacDonald in 2015.
Some of the artists on Addo Records include Mike Downes, John Stetch, Kirk MacDonald, Ted Quinlan, Brian Dickinson, Chet Doxas, Nancy Walker, Kevin Dean, Jim Doxas, Shirantha Beddage, Tara Davidson, Jerry Granelli, Ted Warren, Rich Brown, Mike Murley, Paul Read, and Mikko Hildén.
These are world-class artists creating music that is rich in creativity and form. It is not temporary or based on passing trends. This is fine art for the ears!
