HistoryPeriod Records was the label of Period Music Company. Period had a large catalog of classical and operetta recordings, as well as jazz and popular music. In 1956, Period sold its jazz LP catalog (10 disks) to Bethlehem Records. Production of all its jazz recordings were supervised by Leonard Feather. Several of the Period recordings had been previously released by Jazztone for mail-order club release. Hungarian-born William Avar (né Vilmos Avar; 1899–1986) was president; Frank Stevens was general manager; Leonard Feather was head of A&R for jazz. In 1950, Period was the American distributor for the French label L'Oiseau Lyre. In 1965, Everest Records acquired Period Records. Period re-issued several European labels, including Swing (fr) and Disques Vogue, as well as American labels, including Dawn.
