Here's what I got. Stuck to the $9.99 items only, simply for budgetary reason. Plus, I already have some titles on the list

Ran Blake Something to Live For

Jimmy Giuffre Momentum, Willisau 1988

Franz Koglmann & Lee Konitz We Thought About Duke

Cecil Taylor It Is In The Brewing Luminous (1)

Steve Lacy Clinkers

Steve Lacy Morning Joy

That's roughly $60 worth of sides for $40. Can't complain about that.

Hat's had an amazing record of consistency over the years, so if you browse the list and see something that makes you think, "hmmmm, THAT looks like it might be interesting", you can feel safe in adding it to your cart, because odds are that it will be. That goes for the work of the "names" a well as for the work of those whose names might be less familiar.

So these are all discs I'm happy to have (now I have others also on sale which I'm not much fond of, but the curious can ask),

Ran Blake - Horace is Blue

Ran Blake - Something to Live For

I do not know which one'd I'd pick of the two. I like them both. Some people, so I've heard, have problems with the guitar player but even if that is the case there's enough material on both without the guitar player to provide plenty of food for thought.

Clusone Trio - An Hour With...

Of their recent work, I prefer the more difficult to find Rara Avis but like this one a lot, too. This comes from a concert, iirc, and so there a number of long medleys. Recommended.

Dave Douglas's Tiny Bell Trio - Constellations

This one's highly recommended. For me, easily the best of the Tiny Bell Trio's albums and one of the best, if not the best, representation in my collection of Douglas's work as a leader. Great, mostly upbeat/koyful, playing by all and I just love the tune selection.

Richard Grossman - Even Your Ears

I do not have Where the Sky Ended so I can't compare but I like this. Need to give it a spin soon, actually, as it's been a while since I last listened to it.

Sve Ake-Johansson - Six Little Pieces for Quintet

This is in the vein of vintage-free-jazz, if you can fathom, and considered as such, is very good music. Great playing by Axel Dorner and Sten Sandell in particular.

Steve Lacy - Clinkers

Steve Lacy - Morning Joy

The first is solo, the second with his quartet. Both are highly recommended.

Misha Mengelberg - The Root of the Problem

Now this, depends, if you like Misha in general, it's one to get. Not among his best work, on the other hand. There's quite a bit of diversity so I like it fine but again, nto something I'd recommend just like that.

Cecil Taylor - It Is In the Brewing Luminous

Highly recommended.

Simon Nabatov - Sneak Preview

I go back to Nabatov's other work more frequently but this is as fine an example of his piano playing in a trio as any I've heard. Won't disappoint - and if you haven't heard him, then by all means go ahead. Tom Rainey on drums and Mark Helias on bass.

The Cecil Taylor and Steve Lacy's "Morning Joy" are absolute must-haves if you consider yourself a fan of either artist.

The Dave Douglas disc is also very good.

[Gary]

These are are ones that I have & really enjoy -

Billy Bang Bangception: Willisau 1982

Ellery Eskelin Arcanum Moderne

Richard Grossman Even Your Ears

Simon Nabatov Sneak Preview

Matthew Shipp Prism & The Multiplication Table

These three I would say are essential -

Albert Ayler Lorrach, Paris 1966

Joe McPhee Tenor & Fallen Angels

Peter Brotzmann Tales Out of Time

Apologies I clicked on the see HatHut tiltles available link without reading the details of the sale.

[JSngry]

Tenor & Fallen Angels is the one McPhee album I've heard that I'm 100% certain is going to have perpetual staying power for me. Highly recommended, especially on sale.

[Aggie87]

Thanks for the heads up on this sale! I've gone and ordered:

Clusone Trio - An Hour with...

Cecil Taylor - It is in the Brewing Luminous

Mat Maneri - So What?

I can also give a thumbs up to the two Blakes, the Douglas Tiny Bell Trio, the Giuffre/Willisau, the Koglmann/Konitz, and the Lacys.

Dang, more of the titles are looking good to me now, may have to go back for more!

[GregK]

I ordered Braxton Charlie Parker Project
