Favorite boutique labels?

[Stonewall15]

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.

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

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.

oh, I understand now. The buyers are definitely going for 1950 or later, yeah.

the people who are now buying all those tonepoets are not from the "corresponding generation"

I wonder who they are. They definitely have some money.
