Danish jazz label; also appears as "SteepleChase Records". Label Code: LC 3064 / LC 03064 Founded in 1972 by jazz enthusiast Nils Winther who had begun to record artists live at Jazzhaus Montmartre in Copenhagen (). Many US jazz musicians had relocated to Europe as American interest in the music declined, and Montmartre and Steeplechase from the early 70's became outlets for such artists as Chet Baker, Paul Bley , Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Shirley Horn, Thad Jones, Duke Jordan, Jackie McLean, Horace Parlan, Archie Shepp and Doug and Jimmy Raney. via Discogs →
