Curling Legs Productions A/S (established 1992 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian record label with a catalogue encompassing all styles of jazz and improvised music. It was started by Knut Værnes and Morten Halle to release their own music. In 1994, Odin Records was licensed to Curling Legs from the Norwegian Jazz Forum, to continue the production of Norwegian jazz. In addition to Værnes and Halle, the third co-owner of Curling Legs is Helge Westbye, the director of the record label Grappa Music, and the label is part of FONO.[1] The music is distributed through the company Musikkoperatørene.[2]
By the time of their fiftieth issue, on 3 May 1999, Curling Legs had won Spellemannprisen four times.[3]
The Radka Toneff Memorial Award is funded by the royalty income from all her releases on Odin, Universal and Curling Legs.[4][5][6]
