Because I saw a DG blurb and just had to check it out:

thanks

Time Music ULS-1801-V / Overseas Records (Japan) Sonny Clarke Trio - rec. 1960 -

2 cd set.

Yeah, the "Never My Love" had the Piano Concerto/Symphony(?) I mentioned in my post. I heard his version of "Misty"the other day, and the fact that he didn't sing a note of the melody, and changed the chords to a gospel progression in the A section, might have confused the listening public of the time. I bought the vinyl of a Danny O'Keefe album, and was amazed to find DH playing his Wurlitzer on it! I think Atlantic encouraged its artists to collaborate on their albums. They got into some wild jams that you wouldn't expect on a Pop/Country singer's album!

💗 Cd or vinyl? Finesse Records FW 37488 - Bob Brookmeyer " "Through A Looking Glass" - rec. 1981 - Engineer: Frank Laico

I'd say those are "treasure chest" not "boutique"

Akira Miyazawa Quartet – Sea Horse

Jimmy Rowles “Subtle Legend Vol. 1” Storyville cd A great trio recording from “The Lizard,” and features some of his quirky vocals as well. 300×296 5.01 KB

I am not sure if the Los Angeles Jazz Institute (LAJI) CDs can be considered to be on a boutique label. The were issued in a limited quantity to members only and contained many unreleased sessions of West Coast jazz. The LAJI also released two box sets. In any case these CDs were West Coast jazz at its best.

👍👍

Did you try Fredericksberg records?

when I was about 39, I once met Mr Fleischhammer at a record fair... somewhere in a corner, he'd hidden the box with all his CDs, including that Brew Moore incredibly cheap, memory says 3 Euro... I bought quite a few of those CDs and said something like "why do you price them like this?" because I would have thought, there's no good reason to go below 5 or 6... the number of additional buyers you gain by reducing the price of an amazing Brew Moore cd from, say, 5 to 3 must be negligible... the ones who know, know, they may not be large in number, but... and he said something like "I wasn't even sure that whether it made sense to bring CDs to an LP-centric fair like this one"... I must have looked at him, like he came from the moon [which was probably not fair]... I am sure selling the stuff is not as much fun as it should be given the quality... but I don't quite trust his skills in assessing the market... the people who are now buying all those tonepoets are not from the "corresponding generation"

Yes “Tales from Topographic Oceans” Super Deluxe Edition. cd 4 of 12, the 2025 remix by Steven Wilson, sides 3 and 4.

I was going to mention Off The Record, but then realized that it is (or was) an imprint of Archeophone. Apologies if the initial post was a bit vague. Certainly labels such as Mosaic, Nessa, and Hep fit the definition, in terms of being small operations devoted to specialized jazz reissues and releases--it's just that their longevity and extensive catalogues almost make them "too big to be boutique" at this point. This is my anecdotal sense as well. There will be exceptions, of course (a few years ago it seemed a # of musicians in the improvisatory/avant-garde community were exploring a renewed interest in hot jazz of the 1920s), and young dancers often seek out music from the swing era. But once the living generations of artists and their fanbases are gone, the interest in the music seems to decline even more.

He observed the younger people under 35 he sees at his and neighbouring stands on the vinyl events show no interest in jazz before 1950 Maybe it is different in the US. It is a niche audience, for sure.

I have both those box sets, great releases.

What is the "corresponding generation"? Does he mean that each generation has its own list of prized vintage jazz reissues? Or that they just buy the jazz of their youth?

I am not sure that is accurate...
