Dear Mike,
Even if the producer is a member of the DJML, there is no reason for an apology for minimal discographal information.
If this is readily available, it should always be provided for all jazz reissues.
Here is a link to a listing of the Phoenix 29 releases to date:

(If it won't open, go to Worlds Records, search for <Phoenix, label>)
I have the Jimmy Rushing CD and it includes an 8-page booklet with full information and excellent notes by John Flanagan.
However, searching the internet reveals no information (so far) regarding the company.
I suspect that Phoenix is located somewhere in the EU (UK? Germany? Italy?)
But how to penetrate the European Google system for information has so far (with a few exceptions) eluded me. 
Kind regards,
Bill
