East-West Records was a jazz record label which released four albums from 1956 to 1958 featuring a combination of American and Swedish jazz musicians.[1]

East-West was a division of Atlantic Records. The small catalog was produced by Nesuhi Ertegun.[2]

Lars Gullin's Swings was reissued in 1999 on Collectables Records, paired with his 1956 album Baritone Sax.[3]
