I think after Miles had gone to retire for 5 or 6 years, I began to be increasingly interested in Ornette Coleman´s PrimeTime.  Sure I had heard the "Free Jazz" with the Double Quartet at older friends when I was less than 14, and loved it, but like Miles, who played other music than "Nefertiti" or "All Blues" when I heard him, the same was with Ornette Coleman. But it was great, so much rhythm.  This album seems to be much later than what I had heard in the 70´s since it sounds much more "polished" but very very fine. And there is one ballad on which Ornette plays some incredible fine trumpet. Up into the highest register, and maybe if Miles would have lived longer and heard that, he would have changed his opinion that Ornette can´t play trumpet.  Well, I like his violin playing also very much, but it seems he does not play violin on that record.  My younger son loves "Opening at Caravan of Dreams" for it´s "Punk Rock Sound", and me too, I love especially "dark punk" I mean the style, the fashion and sure, the music, so there we have somethin in common......

All of this info is also in the John Coltrane Reference, to which Wild is a contributor. One thing, though: the last “Impressions” (7/4 in the Wild table quoted below) is actually thought to be from the Berlin show (see JC Ref, pp 696-698). As best I can tell, the only “new” piece of music on this release is the 1962 show’s “I want to talk about you”. It has been known of (see JC Ref) but this may be the first hearing. Everything else has been made available by various releases through the years, for both 61 and 62 Helsinki shows.  

From Hat's website: The legendary Swiss music label Hat Hut Records, renowned for its groundbreaking releases in contemporary and improvised music, is entering a new era after half a century. Musician Marco von Orelli and communications specialist Melanie Imhof have taken the helm and aim to carry forward the remarkable legacy of founder Werner X. Uehlinger, infusing it with fresh ideas and renewed energy. They are joined in this endeavor by Swiss saxophone pioneer Co Streiff, and by long-time companion of the label Christian C. Dalucas. “I was immediately captivated by the innovative spirit of the catalogue, combined with WXU’s outstanding contributions to the avant-garde scene since 1975. I was also deeply impressed by the clear, almost austere visual language of the cover art. Each release is a collector’s item,” explains Marco von Orelli. And he adds: “Hat Hut stands for independent music and visionary artists – and that’s how it should stay.” “The music market is changing rapidly, and the way music is consumed today presents an exciting challenge,” von Orelli continues. The story of one of the most influential independent labels continues—with respect for the past and a clear vision for the future. I contacted the label recently, and Imhof got back to me (polite and professional) the very next day.
