Talkin' Loud was a record label, originally founded by Gilles Peterson in 1990 after he left Acid Jazz Records.[1] The label name is based on Peterson's Dingwalls club night "Talkin' Loud And Sayin' Something", itself a reference to James Brown and Bobby Byrd's "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing". Norman Jay was its A&R.[2] The label is owned by Phonogram.
