CEXTON RECORDS was launched in 1984 by John Anello Jr JD. After recording a master tape of original jazz songs, John was unable to secure a record deal. So he launched Cexton as a way to get his first LP “FOR A DANCER” released.

The LP was a huge success, received national airplay, and went on to
receive several awards.

Upon this success, John recorded his 2nd LP, “JACKSON STREET BEAT”, named after the street he lived on as a child in Newark NJ. “JACKSON STREET BEAT” surpassed the sales and airplay of “FOR A DANCER”, and also became a huge hit in Japan.

In 1988, John began to sign other artists to the CEXTON label, and switched from the LP format to CD. There are now over 65 artists on Cexton Records, and Cexton CDs are aired and available throughout the world.

CEXTON RECORDS features many great new and established artists. We have Jazz and Big Band Swing, and also re-issues of Italian-American Artists on CD and cassette.
