Enjoying the music is what matters most so I don't buy everything in the SL catalogue but I do try to support them by buying good recordings that are less than a perfect match to my taste. Why post comments on an audiophile site and complain when excellent material is published 😜 Support them and hopefully they'll be able to record more popular big draw artists! Check out Witmer Trio "Free" - another excellent recording although not OneMic.

I enjoy both of the Witmer trio recordings. Interesting takes on well known tunes

Agree on whole.  There are some real nuggets, though, that can be mined from the boutique labels like Barry's (Soundkeeper), Todd's (MA Recordings) and the Mapleshade label started by Pierre Sprey.  Back on topic, I find a few of Sound Liaison's recordings to resonate with me, but as with anything, need to be in the mood.

 

Net/net, great article.  I'd love for Joe to do this with other boutique labels.

I do not have any of Barry’s recordings. I have a couple of the Mapleshade CDs and 4 of Todd’s recordings, one jazz trio, both Será Una Noche  releases and one solo classical piano recording. I will put it on the list of things to think about.

I enjoy Chesky recordings also but they traditionally have more of a distant sound. Also, Chesky tends to record in churchs and larger spaces, much different that the large studio environment used in the SL recordings. Different strokes for different folks. I can and do enjoy both techniques.
