Defunct divisions
UCJ (UK)
Universal Classics and Jazz was a division of the Universal Music Group based in London, United Kingdom.[3] The UCJ roster included Jamie Cullum, Aled Jones, Nicola Benedetti and Katherine Jenkins.[4]
At the time that Katherine Jenkins was signed to the label in 2003, she had signed the then-largest record deal in United Kingdom classical recording history, reportedly worth £1 million.[5]
The label group was dismantled in 2011 with the restructuring of Universal Music UK's classical operations, as well Universal Music Group International's greater restructuring of its classical labels. The dismantling of UCJ ensued the revival of Decca Records in the UK, under the instigation of Max Hole, the newly appointed Chief operating officer (COO) of Universal Music Group International.
