Triangle

Triangle Records was founded in 1970 by producer and entrepreneur John Smith in New York City. Initially focused on jazz and blues, the label quickly expanded its roster to include a diverse range of genres, including rock, folk, and R&B. During the 1970s, Triangle became known for its innovative production techniques and for promoting emerging artists, such as jazz saxophonist Lisa Johnson and folk singer-songwriter Tom Rivers. The label gained further prominence in the 1980s by signing influential acts like the alternative rock band The Echoes and the soul group The Harmonizers. Despite facing challenges in the 1990s due to the rise of digital music, Triangle adapted by embracing new technologies and promoting its catalog online. Today, Triangle Records is recognized for its contributions to various musical styles and its role in fostering artistic talent, leaving a lasting legacy in the music industry.
