EmArcy Records is a jazz record label founded in 1954 by Mercury Records, and today a European jazz label owned by Universal Music Group. The name is a phonetic spelling of "MRC", the initials for Mercury Record Company.[1]
During the 1950s and 1960s, musicians such as Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan recorded for EmArcy.[1]
Although EmArcy is currently part of the Decca Label Group, much of its earlier catalogue is now managed by Verve Records.
