DMP Digital Music Products was one of the first digital recording labels, generally specializing in jazz artists. DMP was founded in 1983 by engineer Tom Jung after he left Sound 80 recording studios in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1]
The label's first releases in 1983 featured pianist Warren Bernhardt, Jay Leonhart, and the group Flim & the BB's. These were among the first non-classical recordings released on compact disc. DMP was one of the few labels to release commercial DAT recordings, was at the forefront of introducing numerous digital recording technologies, and was a pioneer in the Super Audio CD (SACD) digital audio format. DMP issued the first multichannel SACD, Sacred Feast.[1]
Notable artists who recorded for DMP include Lynne Arriale, Joe Beck, Warren Bernhardt, Flim & the BB's, Jay Leonhart, Chuck Loeb, Thom Rotella Band, Bob Mintzer, Joe Morello, and Ali Ryerson.
