And then there also was the "Concert Hall Society" label that was not limited to classical music (cf. Wikipedia) but also encroached in the Jazztone field of operations. Sometimes you get both Jazztone and CHS pressings with the same release number but different letter prefixes, and sometimes you see Jazztone vinyl inside a CHS sleeve.

What is the status of their catalog in the digital era?  I assume that most of the stuff they licensed was reissued on CD at one point or other by the rights holders.  What about Jazztone's original albums?

The Fletcher Henderson alumini LP and the Cootie & Rex LP that were mentioned in post-war swing-style big bands thread started by Rabshakeh, for example, have been reissued by Fresh Sound on vinyl in the 80s.
And AFAIK the rights to Dial (that according to various sources Jazztone acquired in the 50s) apparently have long since passed on elsewhere. Which is why Spotlite reissued so much in the 70s and 80s.

On CD too.
