The label is born in the back of a piano store after an extraordinary solo concert by the pianist and composer Donald Brown. A part of this improvised after-hours session has been released on the album widely praised by critics and musicians, “Piano Short Stories”. Since then, Donald Brown has became the natural label’s godfather and continues to record some amazing, creative and fresh jazz music for Space Time Records with great line-ups: “Wurd on the Skreet”, “Enchanté», “French Kiss …”, “At this point in my life “, “Autumn in New York”, “The Classic Introvert” and much more to come… Ron Carter declared in 2003: “For those listeners of jazz as well as its performers who look around and ask, “Where and when will the next significant composer of music for the jazz library appear?” Look no further, Donald Brown is here “

The trumpeter and arranger Bill Mobley joined the label a couple years later with an historical “Live at Small’s” session of his big band in New York (a double volume) with very special guests: the pianists James Williams, Harold Mabern, Mulgrew Miller and Donald Brown…

For Space Time as a leader, Bill Mobley has recorded too: “Mean What You Say” (Quartet), “New Light” with an “all star” big-band (featuring Steve Wilson, Billy Pierce, Jon Gordon, James Williams, Robert Hurst or Jeff Tain Watts) and “Mobscene” (a collective process of a musical creative “mob” with some of his great friends in Brooklyn). Bill Mobley appears in many others albums. His last album is “MoodScape” (2007) featuring a great line-up with Mulgrew Miller, Robert Hurst and Eric Harland.

Beside those two pillars of Space Time Records, the label has released unique albums of some legendary musicians: Charles Thomas, the very rare Memphis pianist (“secret agent of jazz” and “prince of bop”) with musicians such as Ron Carter, Billy Higgins, Ben Riley, Ray Drummond or Alan Dawson … produced by the late and great pianist James Williams). And the legendary Bostonian drummer Alan Dawson with the only album he has ever recorded under his name: “Waltzin’ with Flo” (produced by James Williams too)

The legendary pianist and vibes player Buddy Montgomery (Wes Montgomery brother) has recorded “A love affair in Paris” with an “all stars” line-up featuring Robert Hurst, Lenny White and Anga Diaz…

Space Time Records has released “Blue Black” one of the best albums of saxophonist and former Art Blakey Jazz messengers, Jean Toussaint, featuring Mulgrew Miller, Robert Hurst and Jeff Tain Watts ? Jean already appear on many Space Time albums … and should be present on some more.

Space Time Records is opened to new talents. By the way, Ali Jackson made his recording debut as a leader with live recording: “Groove@jazz en Tete” - since, Ali Jackson has worked with a lot of renowned artists and he is currently Wynton Marsalis’ & Lincoln orchestra drummer.

In 2005, Space Time Records released the album “In A Trance”, the extraordinary and overtime solo guitar album (very first recording and world acclaimed) of the amazing guitarist Lionel Loueke, currently Herbie Hancock’s guitarist and today Blue Note artist.
