Wide Hive Records discography

This is a discography of albums released on Wide Hive Records.

Wide Hive Records was founded by Gregory Howe in San Francisco in the late 1990s. The company is currently (2025) based in Berkeley. Wide Hive is "dedicated to the production of distinctive and transcendent music ... most often in the form of jazz, funk and hip hop."

Releases are listed in catalog number sequence starting at WH-0232 and ending at WH-0390. There are gaps in this sequence which presumably mainly indicate items that I have failed to identify.
