New York, NY — October 2025 — To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Newvelle Records proudly presents the Newvelle Ten Collection, a curated series of five extraordinary vinyl releases from some of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz. Each album in the collection pairs meticulous recording and production with striking original artwork by internationally acclaimed visual artist Ragnar Kjartansson, creating a unified experience of sound and vision that exemplifies the label’s commitment to artistry in every form.
“Newvelle Ten is a celebration of everything we’ve built and believed in from the start,” says label head Elan Mehler. “This series feels like both a milestone and a new beginning. Each album pushes the conversation forward while honoring the craft, the community, and the spirit of collaboration that define Newvelle. I’ve never been more proud of what we’re putting into the world.”
All five albums were recorded and mixed with care by Marc Urselli (and Rocky Russo on select sessions), mastered by Matthew Lutthans, and pressed at QRP, ensuring that the sonic quality of each release is as exceptional as the music itself. Produced by Elan Mehler and JC Morisseau, the Newvelle Ten Collection represents a decade of dedication to uncompromising artistry, remarkable collaborations, and a unique vision of vinyl as a medium for immersive musical experiences.
