Favorite boutique labels?

[ghost of miles]

Discussion of an upcoming Julius Hemphill reissue put me in mind of International Phonograph Inc, which then put me in mind of Mighty Quinn, both of which put out some beautifully-done, labor-of-love releases. What are some of your favorite boutique labels and reissues?

Sackville.  From Dixieland to Avant Garde.

It really is very underrated given the quality of what they put out. I think because the best Sackville is in the less hip categories.

I take it, then, that "boutique label" means COLLECTOR label, right?

Does Mosaic qualify as ‘boutique label’? 😉

[Big Beat Steve]

If it is smaller collector labels (that cater to niche segments within the niche market of jazz ) that are meant here, then I'd mention Sonorama and Be!Jazz as well.

Frog (UK), Oracle, Pearl

that's what I took it to mean -- high quality, smallish-run contemporary labels. 

If I were to add CDs, Nessa, Balance Point Acoustics, ugEXPLODE, Corbett vs. Dempsey, and Another Timbre would be up there as well.

LPs, I forgot to add Open Mouth, Daksina, and Metaphon (these are not jazz).
