Sonet

About

Sonet is a record label with a documented discography spanning from the mid-1950s through the 1980s. Based on its release catalog, the label demonstrated a diverse musical focus, encompassing jazz recordings from the 1950s alongside later releases in the 1980s. Early releases such as Session At Midnight and Jan Allan Quartet from 1956 indicate the label's initial involvement in jazz documentation and artist promotion. The label's later output, including albums like Seduction (1982) and Panzer And Rabbits (1984), suggests an evolution toward broader experimental and alternative music territories. Sonet issued its catalog primarily on vinyl LP format, a standard practice for the periods in which it was active. While specific founding details and the label's complete geographic base remain unclear from available documentation, the chronological spread and stylistic range of Sonet releases indicate a label willing to evolve with musical trends across nearly three decades. The label's significance lies in its documentation of both established jazz traditions and emerging underground sounds during a transformative period in recorded music.
