In a Syracuse record shop, a ’50s teenager bought his first LPs, they included cuts by pianist Lennie Tristano and flugelhorn player Clark Terry. Some 50 years later, Hank O’Neal still has those original purchases safely tucked away. However, the best of his collection, now too numerous to count, list him as producer and bear the imprint of the label he founded in the ’70s: «Chiaroscuro» (pronounced «key arrow skew row»). A trip through the label is like going to the Jazz Hall of Fame, with more than half of the hall’s honorees having played on a Chiaroscuro release.

Taking its name from an artistic expression that refers to defining contours through black and white, O’Neal explains that guitarist Eddie Condon and a Village dress shop served as inspiration for the label’s moniker. «Back in the ’30s, Eddie had a series of concerts that were called Chiaroscuro concerts. The name was thought up by his wife?when I got to NYC in ‘67?I lived on Charles Street and Eddie lived over on Washington Square North?there was a dress shop?called Chiaroscuro?all they did was sell black and white dresses…I was so poor…it was going to be a black and white label?so we just used the name and it stuck?there is now about 140 CDs out and I’ve got about 60 analog tapes I haven’t reissued.» Like Condon, label stalwarts have included multiple releases by other seminal instrumentalists such as violinist Joe Venuti, bassist Milt Hinton, pianists Earl Hines, Mary Lou Williams and Teddy Wilson along with O’Neal’s early favorite Clark Terry. Interestingly, O’Neal points out that during the ’70s, artists of this stature were not in demand for solo or small combo recording sessions.
