There are a multitude of "boutique" labels abounding in the "jazz" realm, some with a long history (Ogun, Emanem & Incus: all UK based initially) - the labels really took off with the advent of CDs (Evan Parker wrote about this years back) - more compact/mobile (cheaper shipping costs) products. Some of my fav "boutique" labels include No Business (Lithuania) - archives series is outstanding (Sam Rivers, Oliver Lake etc) Fundacja Sluchaj (Listen Foundation) - impressive run of Cecil Taylor releases Not Two (Poland) - lots of Vandermark plus Brit/Euro free/improv Nimbus West & Dark Tree - Tapscott galore Jazz In Britain (been a subscriber since inception) & British Progressive Jazz False Walls (UK) - impressive recent UK label Triple Point (exxy LP's ony) Okkadisk, Atavistic Corbett vs Dempsey Burning Ambulance Leo (UK) Leo Feigin's label focusing on Russian/Eastern European jazz Recommended/ReR Megacorp - Chris Cutler's label
