Silkheart Records is a Swedish record company and label dedicated to improvised music and free jazz.
Lars-Olof Gustavsson and Keith Knox founded Silkheart in 1985.
In 1991, Jimmy Johnson of Forced Exposure suggested that Silkheart "could easily be considered for the new ESP-Disk throne.
"[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the four albums that Dennis González recorded for the label as "part of a determined effort to wrest creative initiative back from New York and the West Coast".
[2]: 513–514 Charles Brackeen (whom Silkheart's management[3] and González[2]: 513–514 had coaxed out of retirement) recorded three albums for Silkheart.
