Acting on the conviction that the arts possess the power to bridge societal and cultural divides, the company’s mission is to present music that is both artistic and communicative to an expanding audience-from the average listener to the most educated artist. In doing so the label’s productions often go against the traditional paradigm of genre-specific productions in order to encourage a cross pollination within both the music and audience, pushing the envelope of how music is created and perceived. Eschewing the categorizations, jazz, soul, R & B, pop, rap and world music are brought together on various recordings in a vision of one music appealing to many people.
Founded by iconoclastic artist/producer Dr. Keith Javors, a respected figure in jazz music and pedagogy and an innovative force as a pianist and composer, Inarhyme is dedicated to the fair treatment of artists and integrity in the artistic process. The label’s commitment to the highest musical and production standards, utilizing the most current mediums and technologies while retaining an emphasis on the presentation of the physical CD as an authentic historical artifact, has resulted in the production of several excellent discs with superb sound, exquisite artwork and informative liner notes from major writers. The breadth and depth of the music in Inarhyme's growing catalog point to a bright future for the label and those who are bound to be affected by its message.
Inarhyme Records has garnished exceptional reviews from the press, its records placing on several end-of-the-year lists, including the Top 10 Innovative CD Releases by the Chicago Tribune during its first year in business. The company has sponsored concerts in the United States and Europe, including at the International House of Music in Moscow and Smalls and the Iridium in New York City, and represents both established and up-and-coming artists on its roster.
As the Company prepares for its 5th Anniversary in 2014, it's opening it's outreach to philanthropically causes through its new Inarhyme Giving Program and its Artist Assist Program, which offers high-quality, yet discounted 360-degree services to aspiring and career-level musicians. This includes an educational component as well, as we aim to instruct and inspire individuals, groups, schools, and communities in the current inner workings of music and the music business
Inarhyme's recordings and projects, each in its own special way different from the others and much else that is being recorded these days, taken together with the Company's diverse undertakings and outreach, illustrate a philosophy that is inclusive and forward looking, one that avoids narrow minded and divisive ways of thinking that has resulted in the elitist viewpoint that has discouraged new listeners from embracing jazz and quality jazz-based musics. Inarhyme, with its inclusionary attitude to its listeners, continues to bring people together with the music it produces.
