Spool is a Canadian record label which was founded 1997 in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Their first releases were in 1998. They relocated to Uxbridge, Ontario in 1999. The name comes from the play by Samuel Beckett: Krapp's Last Tape. In the play, Krapp becomes fascinated by the word "spool" and repeats it several times. On December 27, 2001, Spool was given national notice in an article in The Globe and Mail by Canadian jazz critic Mark Miller, who said "It's work supported not by the majors, but by smaller companies – as small as Uxbridge, Ont., label Spool which released two of the most interesting Canadian CDs of 2001, West Coast guitarist Tony Wilson's melancholic Lowest Note and a boisterous collaboration between George Lewis and Vancouver's NOW Orchestra, The Shadowgraph Series." Spool releases also received reviews in the Toronto Star by Geoff Champman, as well as Coda (magazine), DownBeat, Vancouver Province, La Scena musicale, The Wire (magazine), Exclaim magazine, The Georgia Straight. In 2004, Spool received nominations for "producer of the year" and "label of the year" by the National Jazz Awards of Canada. Mark Miller, in Jazz Education Journal wrote: "And consider Canada's most active independent record labels, Ambiances Magnetiques and Effendi in Montreal, Cornerstone in Toronto, Maximum Jazz and Songlines in Vancouver, Spool in Uxbridge, Ontario and Victo in Victoriaville, Quebec. By and large, their rosters are made up of artists who seem intent on creating vital, interesting and, above all, personal music that draws not on any one tradition, but on many..."
