  At Last!


Dee Gee Records was an independent record label founded in Detroit, Michigan on April 7, 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Dave Usher, a 21-year-old fan and friend of Gillespie. 

Dee Gee Records was based in Detroit where Usher lived, and its sessions were held there, in New York City, and in Chicago. 

According to Gillespie, Dee Gee Records was the result of his desire to control his own recorded output. 

Initial response was encouraging, and within a short time Dee Gee began to record artists other than Gillespie. 

But over time Usher found it difficult to handle the financial matters of the company, and in 1953 Dee Gee closed, with Gillespie returning to established firms to make his recordings.
