Mapleshade...where's the love?

Pierre and his partner in crime (can't recall his name now) have done a great job in documenting what might well be the last gasp of a lot of the also aging artists they've recorded over the last few decades from their Baltimore area location, particularly with jazz and blues. 

But they're both getting on in years now themselves and haven't been all that active toward adding new releases in the last couple years or so and it looks like no one is waiting in the wings to take over that role.

Some of their releases are very enjoyable, all are well recorded, but not that many are among my favorite acts.

Ron Bowman? David Bowman? 👩‍🚀

I have 6 of them. Datavic, Afterglow, Songs of Love and Death and Single Petal of a Rose are all  VG

"Some of their releases are very enjoyable, all are well recorded, but not that many are among my favorite acts."

Agreed. I have listened to much of their catalog; and the quality of the recordings eclipse the quality of the performances - although some (perhaps Arc Choir, Sunny) are better than others, If I remember correctly, they accept returns of CDs if you do not like the recording.

Plenty of love here!

I have and enjoy many of their recordings as well as many of their other products. Some of the very best recordings I have heard, proving that CD's can sound truly great! I do wish they would get some more talent though.
