the old days of Hat were much easier to follow. Now, not so much! Westbrook is indeed very much alive, at least the last time I checked... at least the Ayler I mentioned above is in very good sound, considering the source material. Folwell and Harris/Graves really pop out of the mix, and I didn't hear any extraneous mastering artifacts. Very little mud.

Without a doubt, the greatest Jomboy breakdown of all time. Also, RIP Davey Lopes.

Wehner H. Uehlinger, what a guy! First, he sells the released Hat Hut catalog items to Outhere in 2017. There is a press release that he would work "closely" with Outhere with "12-16 new Hat Hut releases per year". This never happens. Instead, in 2019 he restarts Hat Hut - rebranded ezz-thetics - with some questionable reissues from other labels' catalogs (admittedly in excellent sound) and some (good) music by contemporary musicians. In 2025, he sells this new Hat Hut / ezz-thetics label. But why retire at 90? He immediately starts this AlAy imprint with more semi-shady reissues (Armstrong Hot Fives / Sevens anyone?). And he gets to keep the unreleased Hat Hut archives! He has a three-year non-compete with Hat Hut / ezz-thetics not to release any music by what he refers to as "living musicians". So what does he do? He immediately releases a recording by Mike Westbrook, who is definitely still "living" (might not be a "musician" any longer, I am not sure). Don't get me wrong, I am most grateful to Mr. Uehlinger for all this manic hyperactivity of the last decade. I got a lot of ezz-thetics releases of the "living musicians" and they all are uniformly strong. I even got one ezz-thetics reissue (Coltrane 1965 - and yes, it does sound way better than the 2005 impulse! release)! But is it possible to be productive without creating so much mess? I honestly don't know, maybe not... I guess that Hat Hut under new ownership (I wish they dropped the dreadful "ezz-thetics" thing) will focus on new music - which is good news, as far as I am concerned. I am curious what they will do with the already released "public domain" ezz-thetics reissues. I see their bandcamp page (curiously titled "Werner's ezz-thetics", by the way) has some, but not all of them. And as for Werner H. Uehlinger, he will do whatever the fuck he wants!

It Sucks Getting Old

Waaaayyy too late for me when it comes to leaving too much stuff. If I don't purge my CDs & LPs in the coming years, my survivors will have a ton of them. Don't even get me started on my tool bench/garage area. I am a bit of a pack rat when it comes to spare nuts & bolts and I inherited all of my father's stuff too. I have more screwdrivers than I'll ever need. Congrats on the 25th. This year, my wife & I will celebrate 39 years of marriage. We started dating 46 years ago. For our 25th anniversary, we went to Paris. For our 40th, we're thinking about Italy. -
If you type up the listing in a entry box here on the forums, it defaults to double-line spacing when you hit the Enter button on your keyboard. I've never discovered a way to get rid of the extra LF either. The only way to have your listing be single-spaced is to create it in an application like Word or Notepad and then copy & paste it into the entry box. I try to do this when I create a sale here.

I can’t stay away from Brazilian music for long. This is a really nice cd. Duduka Du Fonseca “Samba-Jazz-Jazz Samba”

I once told a dentist that if I got any more porcelain in my mouth, I would have to rinse with Ty-D-Bol. The big challenge is when to stop acquiring stuff, I don't want to leave my heirs with too much stuff to dispose of after I'm gone.

See something different? Or have it on disk, but only watch it when played on TV? Either way ... Funny!

It Sucks Getting Old

Fortunately my wife and I have been “old fogies, in-training” for about the last 25+ years (something we’ve literally been saying almost that long). Speaking of which, our 25th wedding anniversary was just this week — and it’ll be 30 years since our first date next month. We’re hoping for another 25-30 years together (when we’ll be in our mid-to-late 80’s), but only time will tell. But seeing my dad now at almost 99, I don’t think I want to live too much past 90. We ended up retiring somewhat early, just in the last year (in our late 50’s) — my wife in March last year, and me just in January of this year — and we feel very fortunate to have been able to do so. -
