Stomp Off Records is also gone or going. If you go to Stompoffrecords.com it has 
a message saying World Music is handling CD orders for Stomp Off. One of the 
other good web sites, Jazz By Mail, was run by Webster Records out of St. Louis, 
which closed in Jan. 2012.

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
