Whatever happened to the Maxjazz label?

In the 90s (I think) it was a label that put out a lot of good mainstream jazz. I have all their Mulgrew Miller releases, most of the Rene Marie. They also had Steven Wilson, Dena DeRose, and a few others. The label just seemed to disappear. In addition to their roster, the physical presentation of the CDs was very good.

Completely agree with you on quality of music and packaging ... I always figured that they fell victim to the decline in CD sales. Discogs shows they were active from 1999 to 2013 with a Ben Wolfe release being their last.

The founder of the label died of a sudden heart attack and the label was soon after sold to Mack Avenue Music Group. It became one of those many legacy labels that will see no more new releases. I think that most of the piano CDs are still in print, though I am not too sure about the vocal CDs.
