It has also done reissues. In the 1990s it became the distributor for American Music, Chiaroscuro, Nagel-Heyer, Classics, Storyville, and Timeless.[1][2]

Its catalogue included Doc Cheatham, Don Ewell, Art Hodes, Keith Ingham, Geoffrey Keezer, Humphrey Lyttelton, Harold Mabern, Junior Mance, Jay McShann, Don Menza, Sammy Price, Don Pullen, Frank Rosolino, Archie Shepp, Ralph Sutton, and Buddy Tate.[1]
