Dragon has issued several hundred albums by Swedish jazz musicians, both historic and contemporary recordings, and aural documentation of visits to Sweden by American musicians. The label issued a series of eight CDs by Lars Gullin featuring much of his recordings from the 1950s. It also released a four-CD set of visits by Miles Davis with John Coltrane or Sonny Stitt in 1960 and 1961. The company was revived in mid-1999 to 2002 for Sisqó's albums.
In the movie Jerry Maguire, the concert referred to with Miles Davis and John Coltrane is the Dragon release. This recording is incorrectly called a bootleg in Ascension: John Coltrane and His Quest, a biography of Coltrane by Eric Nisenson.
