Taylor, che aveva precedentemente fondato la Impulse Records ed aveva lavorato per la Verve Records, si era guadagnato un'ottima reputazione come rispettato produttore di album jazz. Le sue produzioni per CTI condividevano uno stile tipicamente caldo, morbido finalizzato a creare un'atmosfera smooth jazz. L'etichetta è diventata anche famosa per le immagini delle copertine degli album, molte delle quali dell'artista fotografo Pete Turner.
Tra gli artisti di rilievo che incisero per l'etichetta ci sono stati George Benson, Eumir Deodato, Paul Desmond, Gabor Szabo, Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turrentine, Wes Montgomery, Hubert Laws, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Bob James, Larry Coryell e molti altri.
Un'altra etichetta, affiliata al marchio CTI, la Kudu, lanciata nel 1971, era più orientata al soul-jazz; nell'elenco degli artisti di rilievo che incisero per la Kudu c'erano Grover Washington, Jr., Hank Crawford, Idris Muhammad. La maggior parte degli arrangiamenti per le incisioni Kudu furono opera di Don Sebesky; in ogni sessione figurano alcuni dei migliori artisti jazz del momento, come Ron Carter, che è apparso su quasi ogni registrazione, ed Herbie Hancock che spesso era seduto al pianoforte.
La CTI Records dichiarò il fallimento nel 1978, [3], ma la maggior parte del suo catalogo è rimasto in stampa. La produzione CTI del dopo A&M Records è ora proprietà della Sony BMG Music Entertainment ed è distribuita dalla Epic Records; gli album di Grover Washington, Jr. incisi per la Kudu, sono stati ristampati dalla Motown's MoJazz. I quattro album CTI dell'artista Bob James, sono rimasti di sua proprietà; la Seawind invece è in possesso del loro vecchio catalogo CTI. Le realizzazioni A&M sono ora distribuite dalla Verve Records, una divisione della Universal Music Group.
Gli album della serie CTI 3000 sono stati prodotti da Creed Taylor tra il 1967 ed il 1970 e stampati dalla A&M con un piccolo logo "CTI" sulla copertina. These albums we issued with the regular A&M record label with the addition of the "CTI" logo and "produced by Creed Taylor"
