Pax Records (4)

Reissue and bootleg label, founded in 1948 by Dante S. Bolletino, a New York jazz enthusiast. Mr. Bollettino, born in 1929, started his first record company Paradox in 1948 and operated various other jazz labels, like Jolly Roger (2), Pax Records (4) and British Rhythm Society. Columbia and Louis Armstrong sued Paradox Industries, NYC, for bootlegging in February 1952 and Mr. Bollettino had to close down the labels. Pax was refounded in Union City, NJ, by Dante Bollettino and Al Zimmet in February 1954. Note: Please check Pax (9) and Pax Productions with same logo
