Prova Records is a Belgian independent record label founded by Michel Bisceglia. The label released music by musicians like Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Dave Liebman, Jef Neve, Buscemi, Michel Bisceglia, Frank Deruytter and Nicolas Kummert. Prova Records focuses on Belgian jazz talent and well known jazz musicians.

Highlights
The label released over twenty records. The following releases included some international jazz musicians:

Frank Deruytter Quartet feat. Peter Erskine and Eric Legnini
In 2013 Prova Records released the debut album by tenor saxofonist Frank Deruytter. This unique project was set up for a live show at the C-Mine Jazz Festival in Genk (Belgium), but was extended by a studio recording in 2012. The line up consisted out of Frank Deruytter, Eric Legnini, Bart De Nolf and the famous American jazz drummer Peter Erskine, known for his music with the jazz band Weather Report.

Brussels Jazz Orchestra & Dave Liebman
In 2006 the Brussels Jazz Orchestra performed with saxofonist Dave Liebman during two concerts in Belgium (Ghent and Turnhout). These concerts were recorded and the result was a new album called Guided Dream.

Michel Bisceglia & Bob Mintzer and Randy Brecker
Prova Records founder Michel Bisceglia is also known as a composer and pianist. His first studio album with his own trio was recorded in 1997 and featured the American jazz musicians Bob Mintzer and Randy Brecker. The album is titled About Stories.

Other styles
The label mainly focuses on jazz releases, but there’s also room for other music styles. For example, Prova Records released several albums by the Belgian dj Buscemi. His music is heavily influenced by genres like electro, latino, world and jazz music. In 2009 Prova Records also released an original soundtrack for Dziga Vertov’s silent movie Men with a Movie Camera and a year later the label released the debut album by Radical Slave, a no wave side project by Dirk Swartenbroekx (Buscemi), Mauro Pawlowski (Deus, Evil Superstars) and Remo Perotti.
