Jazz Selection

French label from c. 1950, issuing records with American jazz standards. Not to be confused with Vogue series Jazz Selection (5) which came c. 1988 (cat# 670201 to 670220 for CDs, and with 3 first digits '771' instead of '670' for cassettes). Swedish releases by the Sonora (2) company. 78s were issued in a J.S. 4000 series, running from 4001 to 4056 (released 1951-1956). Many, but not all were "Selected by the Federation of The Swedish Jazz-Clubs", as stated on labels. EPs appeared in a JEP 4500 series, running from 4501 to at least 4585. The recordings were licensed from the Vogue company in France, but the selection of what was released and in which couplings were made by Sonora. Sonora had earlier (in 1950) released seven jazz 78s on a short-lived Exclusive Jazz Selection label, five of which were also from Vogue.
