Sorry, I erred. Only the first two albums were 1960 releases, according to Schwann. The third (the Dimitri Smirnov) doesn't show up there until April 1961.

Those three Siena albums were 1960 releases, going by Schwann. The July 4, 1960 issue of Billboard gives the company's mailing address as P.O. Box 91, Boston 12, Massachusetts. The three albums you list are the only ones to which I can find any reference.

Who was founder, manager, how long were they active,
