I guess it is the collector in me, but I love record labels that have their catalog numbers in single or double digits. Hi and Fly does it's crate digging from Paris, but most of their releases have a US connection. Their Playtime series offers mixes of Jazz Funk, Boogaloo, Reggae,and other groovy sounds. The Diggin' the Crates series looks at Sound Library music of the 70's. They also reissued the 2 original Lafayette Afro Rock Band LP's. These cats were a group of ex-pat Americans in Paris, soaking up Manu Dibango and Fela in the best way, and adding a little rock guitar to the mix. Recently, the label has started doing live recordings of classic soul singers, with Gwen McCrae the first out of the chute and a Lyn Collins coming in January. Their slogan is Good Music for Good People, but Quality over Quantity would work, too. With about 15 records in their catalog (most available on vinyl or CD), I always look forward to what they'll come up with next.
