Talk:GRP Records

Tone, content and a potential new section

I love GRP however this is an ecyclopedia and unless quoting relevant parties shouldnt have writing such as:

"Soon they would make a very important decision that would change the history of jazz" (1982 sub section, paragraph 2).

There also seems to be quite an extreme amount of extraneous detail. Even if found to be relevant, there could be a better way to organise this e.g. the 1995-2015 section:

"After founders Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen left the label in early in 1995, famed producer Tommy LiPuma was given the reins of the label with a few of Grusin and Rosen's artists staying on board, including David Benoit (who would finally leave in the mid 2000's), Arturo Sandoval (who would depart after 1996), Lee Ritenour (who would depart in 1996 and return in 2002), The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman (who would depart the label in 1996), Gary Burton (who would depart in 1996), Spyro Gyra (who would depart in the late 1990s), Diane Schuur (who would leave after 1997), Tom Scott (who would depart late in the 1990s), Nelson Rangell (who would depart in 1997), Joe Sample (who stayed with the label until his passing), Larry Carlton (who would go onto record with his regular group, Fourplay, and would sign with Warner Bros. Records after 1996), Acoustic Alchemy and Ramsey Lewis (who would leave after 1997). "

I don't believe that every artist's departure date is necessary, and perhaps a new section showing the label's roster over the years could be better. Furthermore, the roster could be split by key moments e.g. Arista years, MCA years etc. ~2026-18855-17 (talk) 17:24, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
