Metrojazz was a jazz subsidiary of MGM that lasted less than a year. It came in about the time that
stereo was being introduced on disc, and of the fifteen albums issued on the label, three were also
issued in stereo. These are indicated by the "E/SE-" prefixes in the discography below.
The MetroJazz label was orange with black print. The MetroJazz logo was on two lines at the top of the
label, with the MGM lion inside the "o".
