Mapleshade...where's the love?


Last night in a lengthy listening session I played a few of the Mapleshade recordings. These are really outstanding in every way! 
While the company has been going for many years, for some reason I don't see a lot of press about their many releases...or for that matter about their SOTA SQ. Companies like MoFi get the exposure, why not Mapleshade??

Pierre and his partner in crime (can't recall his name now) have done a great job in documenting what might well be the last gasp of a lot of the also aging artists they've recorded over the last few decades from their Baltimore area location, particularly with jazz and blues. 

But they're both getting on in years now themselves and haven't been all that active toward adding new releases in the last couple years or so and it looks like no one is waiting in the wings to take over that role.

Some of their releases are very enjoyable, all are well recorded, but not that many are among my favorite acts.
