Landmark Records was a United States-based jazz label established in 1985 by Orrin Keepnews. The label's roster included notable musicians such as Donald Byrd, Jack DeJohnette, Jimmy Heath, Vincent Herring, Bobby Hutcherson, Mulgrew Miller, and Buddy Montgomery. Additionally, Landmark issued re-releases of Cannonball Adderley's work. The label also produced two jazz albums performed by the Kronos Quartet featuring compositions by Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk.
In 1993, Muse Records acquired Landmark, and subsequently, both Muse and Landmark were bought by 32 Jazz in 1996. Later, in 2003, the rights to the catalogs of Muse and Landmark were transferred from 32 Jazz to Savoy Jazz, a division of Nippon Columbia.
