| Profile: | RCA's legacy includes a treasure trove of masters from the greatest names in jazz. Beginning in 1917 with the first-ever authentic jazz sides from the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, RCA would go on to record such jazz giants as Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey and, in later years, Sonny Rollins and Paul Desmond. Bluebird continues to serve as the proud home of RCA's jazz reissue program, drawing from an unrivalled legacy of the greatest names in the history of the genre.
In the contemporary era, RCA has been celebrated for records from great jazzmen like Roy Hargrove and Marcus Roberts and, most recently, the Downbeat triple crown award-winning Dave Douglas and Tom Harrell. The label will actively sign new jazz talent in 2002.
