Terry/Gregory/Airtown/Juke Records

We are super excited to welcome to Secret Stash Records the Terry/Gregory/Airtown/Juke Records catalog, which also includes The Wills Music and Club Miami Publishing entities. This small but mighty label group active in the 60s and 70s was started in Ohio but eventually moved with its owner/operator, Tommy Wills, to Indiana. Wills himself, a superbly talented saxophonist, is the label group’s primary artist, but certainly not its only. Their output included jazz, soul, doo-wop, funk, and even a couple rock records. We are honored to be the stewards of this incredible body of work. We are currently hard at work cataloging and remastering all of the recordings included and look forward to furthering the legacy of Mr Wills and the artists he worked with.  If you have any information, questions, or interest in this collection of music, don’t hesitate to contact us.
