Odin Records

Odin Records is a Norwegian jazz record company and label founded in 1981 by the Norwegian Jazz Federation,[1] when there were not many independent record labels in Norway. Only major international record companies were to be found in Oslo, so Odin soon became the most important national label for contemporary Norwegian jazz.[2]
