A&M/CTI 3000 series discography

A&M started a new jazz division in 1967 that was headed by Creed Taylor. Releases carried a CTI logo in addition to the A&M logo. Taylor left A&M in 1970 and the CTI branding ceased. Jazz releases on the 3000 series continued, however, until the middle of the 1970s.

The first few releases in the series appeared in mono and stereo. The mono releases had a 2000 series number, the stereo releases had a 3000 series number. The majority of the series was released only in stereo. A number of planned releases in the series were not released until a later date in the 1980s - these have been omitted from the list.
