Concord Music Group is a record company formed in 2004 by the merger of Concord Records and Fantasy Records. In 2005, the company acquired the classics and jazz label Telarc International. On December 18, 2006, Concord announced the re-launch of the soul label Stax; rights to the name were formerly held by Fantasy. New signings include Angie Stone and Nikka Costa.^[1]

On March 12, 2007, Concord Music Group and Starbucks jointly founded the Hear Music label, which has released albums by artists that include Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, John Mellencamp and more.^[2]

Physical distribution for most countries is handled by Universal Music Group. In smaller markets such as those in Africa and Eastern Europe, local independent labels that represent Universal license the catalogue.
