Concord Music Group is a record company formed in 2004 by the merger of Concord Records and Fantasy Records. In 2005, the company acquired the classics and jazz label Telarc International. On December 18, 2006, Concord announced[1] the re-launch of the soul label Stax; rights to the name were formerly held by Fantasy. New signings include Isaac Hayes and Angie Stone.
On March 12, 2007, Concord Music Group and Starbucks jointly founded the Hear Music label, and just recently announced that it had signed Paul McCartney for a one album deal.[2]
Physical distribution for most countries is handled by Universal Music Group. In smaller markets such as those in Africa and Eastern Europe, local independent labels that represent Universal license the catalogue.
