Mapleshade...where's the love?

Last night in a lengthy listening session I played a few of the Mapleshade recordings. These are really outstanding in every way! 
While the company has been going for many years, for some reason I don't see a lot of press about their many releases...or for that matter about their SOTA SQ. Companies like MoFi get the exposure, why not Mapleshade??

While I will agree that their artists are not very well known, I don’t think that some of their music..or their musicianship is not enjoyable. Then we add the extremely impressive SQ...and I still think they are a winner.

David Murray. John Hicks. Clifford Jordan. Hamiet Bluiett. Ran Blake. Norris Turney.  There is some great stuff in their catalog.

Although most of their artists aren’t well known,
I think most are certainly worth listening to.
ARC Choir and Kendra Shank for example.
And they are the best recordings I have ever heard.
Very natural and analog sounding.
Actually better than any Hi Rez recording I’ve
heard. And they are very reasonably priced.

@brauser , I am all ears to the labels that put the Mapleshade SQ to shame, please share those with us.
