Started by Duke and named after his son. Mercer was 30 yrs old at this time and was a force of his own in jazz, tho never to rise very far. I used to collect original jazz lps. Got rid of them when CD’s came out. Somewhere along the line I acquired 21 Mercer 78’s. Still have them. Should anyone be interested e mail me.

At least one 10″ Mercer album was re-issued in Europe on French Vogue in the LD – series. The company folded in the ifties before the advent of the 12″ LP.
There is no relation whatsoever with Prestige/New Jazz, although the presentation of the covers was similar (no liners, front in text only, no pictures) to early Prestige.
