Rivermont Records is an independent American record label that specializes in ragtime, jazz, and hot dance music. The company issues recordings of contemporary ragtime pianists and traditional jazz orchestras, and reissues rare vintage recordings of dance bands from the 1910-1930 era. The label's issues include 78 RPM vinyl in the microgroove format which are playable with a contemporary turntable and stylus.[1] Rivermont was founded in Lynchburg, Virginia in 2003 by pianist and musicologist Bryan S. Wright.[2] The label is distributed in the United States by City Hall Records.[3] Rivermont has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Album Notes three times: in 2010, 2018 and 2021.
