[Dixielandjazz] Worlds Records closing down

[Marek Boym]

Dear Bill,
Don't forget one of the most important - the GHB Foundation
(Jazzology, GHB, American Music and Solo Art for OKOM, Circle for big
bands, Black Swan - mainly blues, but also the Paramount reissues,
Audiophile - mainly vocals, but also some traditional jazz, and
Progressive - despite the name, not only modern).
And the British Lake also deserves a mention.

Then there are the Stomp Off records, but, so far, they have not been
selling directly on the web.
Cheers
