Evidence note (master store)

uDiscover Music (Universal Music, owner of the Chess catalogue; tier 2) names Cadet — alongside Checker, Argo, and Cadet Concept — as a subsidiary label of Chess Records, establishing Cadet's existence and its Chess-subsidiary status. The fetched source does not carry the stored note's 'jazz subsidiary' specificity for Cadet, so that specificity is not stamped. (fetched in full 2026-10-17)
