      • Swan Records (aka Swan Recording Co. Inc.) was an American record company and label that was founded in 1946 and closed the same year. Sometime before 1959, Swan went out of business. In 1950, Mercury acquired 16 masters once owned by Swan, all being of Phil Napoleon. In 1946, Swan listed its address at 1600 Broadway, Room 1003, New York, New York.


      History


      The Jazz Discography by Tom Lord lists 18 recording sessions that took place from January to April 1946. Les Schriber, Sr., who had founded Black & White Records in 1943 and sold it in 1945, went to work for Swan, but left sometime around October 1946. Sometime around November 1946, Swan appointed Jesse J. Trilling as Secretary-Treasurer of Swan.
