By a stroke of luck, picked up a CD on this label at the weekend with Sidney Bechet and Wingy Manone live at the Town Hall in 1947. The liner notes reveal a host of other CDs in the collection with significant lumps of tunes I don't already have.

Definitely not an American label - Dutch I think. Does anyone know more about the other CDs and/or quality of the recordings on them?
Ease of availability?

Seems very tough from my initial searching online for these, aside from ebay and amazon.

Not helped by the somewhat generic sounding name of the label, so googling 'Archives of Jazz' can bring back 'Jazz Archives', etc... completely different labels!

There's one called 'Swing Jackpot' which I'd REALLY like to get my hands on.

Never heard of that label - have you checked any discographies?

Well since picking that CD up, I got my hands on another from the label, Louis Armstrong & All Stars live in Philadelphia.

There's definitely a mention of that CD in a discography I found for him some place online too.

Here is Basie's CD at Tower Records, for example :
