Anyone have any information on the Birdland label?  Or how many 78s were
released?

Indie Labels doesn't list it and ARLD just says New York City (50?).

I'm guessing there is a relationship with Prestige only because there is an
overlap of musicians and there is a resemblance in the way the labels are
designed.

The two I have are

Birdland 6001  I've Got You Under My Skin/There's a Small Hotel
Stan Getz Quartet
Al Haig piano
Tommy Potter bass
Roy Haynes drums
Stan Getz tenor

and

Birdland 6005  Blues Up and Down/You Can Depend On Me
Gene Ammons tenor
Sonny Stitt tenor
Duke Jordan piano
Tommy Potter bass
Jo Jones drums
