Comet Records
Comet Records was an American jazz and R&B record label, founded in 1944 by Les Schriber, Sr.[a] and Harry Alderton. The label is most known for having recorded and produced T-Bone Walker and Red Norvo. The label was acquired by Black & White Records and operated as a subsidiary. Comet recorded – but never released – a session with Charlie Parker on June 6, 1945. That master was sold to Dial Records in 1949, when Black & White Records went out of business.[1][2]
