An American jazz record company founded in New York in 1982 by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen. Their original distribution arrangement with Clive Davis at Arista made them known as Arista GRP. Embracing an all-digital recording philosophy, they became the first label to release all of their titles on CD.

After several years with different distributors, the label signed with MCA Records in 1987 who acquired the company 3 years later. For most of the 1990s, GRP was in charge of MCA's (soon to be renamed Universal Music Group) jazz operations.

Founders Grusin and Rosen left in 1995 and were replaced by Tommy LiPuma who revived the Impulse! Records label and began signing modern jazz artists. After the merger with PolyGram, Universal assigned GRP its own series of labels, amongst them Verve Records. GRP decided to keep the Verve name and called its group of companies the Verve Music Group and was relegated to being a smooth jazz label, at the same time incorporating the catalogue from the deactivated Verve Forecast and Blue Thumb labels that were a part of PolyGram and ABC.
