About
Defunct US record label established in 1995 by record producer Joel Dorn and attorney Robert Miller (32). Active until March 2001. It was named for Dorn's favorite sports number. Its 32 Jazz imprint released a successful series of compilation albums. It also released new material by artists such as The Jazz Passengers and established 32 R&B, 32 Blues, 32 Groove, and 32 Pop subsidiaries. In 1996, 32 Records acquired the holdings of the Muse Records and Landmark Records (3) labels, and established the 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 Label M later that year.
