Leaning House Records was started by Mark Elliott and Keith Foerster, two recent college graduates with a love for classic jazz to provide a voice for under-recognized artists in the South.

In its five year history, the company released ten albums and one book, garnered international acclaim, secured national distribution, and worked with several Grammy winning artists. In addition to showcasing the fine performances of some of the best artists in jazz, the label's releases have been prized by audiophiles because of their unique, realistic sound quality.

In May of 2000, Elliott and Foerster decided to pursue other ventures and found it necessary to cease operations. This web site is to service as a source of information on the company and its artists. Several of the titles are still available in limited quantities directly from the company.
