Zev Feldman’s RSD footprint
Producer and reissue specialist Zev Feldman has an unusually large presence on this year’s Record Store Day, with 11 releases spanning archival jazz, blues and a rare reissue on his slate (goldminemag.com). That concentration gives crate‑diggers a defined lane to chase amid the hundreds of titles being released (goldminemag.com).
Zev Feldman’s name is attached to 11 Record Store Day 2026 releases, an unusually large single-producer footprint on the April 18 drop. (recordstoreday.com) (goldminemag.com) The slate runs across Resonance Records, Elemental Music and Time Traveler Recordings, with 10 archival titles and one rare reissue, according to Goldmine’s April 13 report. Record Store Day’s official site says the 2026 event lands on Saturday, April 18, at participating independent stores. (goldminemag.com) (recordstoreday.com) Four of the biggest titles come from Resonance’s new push into Joe Segal’s Jazz Showcase archive in Chicago. Record Store Day lists first-time releases by Joe Henderson, Ahmad Jamal, Yusef Lateef and Mal Waldron from performances taped there between June 1975 and August 1979. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) (recordstoreday.com 3) (recordstoreday.com 4) Those four sets are not small one-disc curiosities. The Joe Henderson album is a 3-LP edition limited to 2,000 copies, the Ahmad Jamal set is 2 LPs limited to 2,000, and the Yusef Lateef and Mal Waldron titles are limited to 1,800 copies each. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) (recordstoreday.com 3) (recordstoreday.com 4) Elemental Music adds more of Feldman’s archival lane with Bill Evans, Cecil Taylor and Freddie King. Record Store Day lists Bill Evans’ March 19, 1965 BBC set as a 3,500-copy exclusive, while Freddie King’s 1975 Nancy Jazz Pulsations concert is a 2,050-copy “Record Store Day First” release. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) (elemental-music.com) This concentration stands out because Record Store Day titles are sold through individual stores that choose their own orders. The event’s rules also bar pre-orders, and the official site says unsold stock may go online only after April 18, starting Sunday, April 19. (recordstoreday.com) For shoppers, that means Feldman’s catalog functions almost like a sub-list inside the larger release list. Tracking Angle’s guide singled out the Resonance, Elemental and Time Traveler cluster as a defined destination for jazz buyers on a day otherwise spread across hundreds of titles and genres. (trackingangle.com) (recordstoreday.com) Feldman has built that lane over years of archival work. Goldmine says he first gained visibility through Concord’s classic jazz catalogs, then became a key producer at Resonance Records with George Klabin before later helping launch Elemental Music with Jordi Soley. (goldminemag.com) The immediate test comes Saturday morning, when collectors line up store by store for whatever each shop actually ordered. On a Record Store Day built around scarcity, Feldman’s 11-title run gives jazz and blues buyers one clear aisle to sprint toward. (recordstoreday.com) (goldminemag.com)
