Okay - for those I checked, there were no tracklists yet (or possibly "Conquistador" as a one-track disc just won't get one?)

I'm not sure I got the whole story right, but it seems: - Uehlinger sold his entire catalogue (with some exceptions such as McPhee) to the Outhere group, which seems to try and get a foot into jazz on a broader basis (in classical, many of their releases - through labels such as alpha, Ricercar, aeon etc. - are tops, in jazz they're negligeable and will likely remain so) - he got a substantial amount of money for that (not sure who made the better deal, he or Outhere ...) - Uehlinger was not pleased by how Outhere handled its chores, there was some kind of argument (on money, but isn't that always what rows are about?), which was settled eventually (and Uehlinger put that up on his site, too, after he had published that announcement about Outhere being crooks or however he had worded it, I don't remember and didn't catch it live) - Uehlinger has started his own new label (or series still running under the Hat Hut moniker), "ezz-thetic", and one of the first releases, which was scheduled in 2017 already, still on Hat/hatOLOGY at that time, is the Giuffre Graz recording (which has made the rounds ... I think it was one of the very first ROIOs I ever got, thanks to a kind person here). The design for the new ezz-thetic releases has changed a bit, with a white frame added to the usual grey/orange design: https://hathut.com - I'm not sure who owns what exactly, as Outhere runs a promo-blurb that sounds like Uehlinger and gives no specifics about the deal or the takeover at all: https://outhere-music.com/en/labels/hathut/about - possibly Outhere owns the recordings and is somehow allowed to still release them under the name Hat Hut, but Uehlinger still owns that name? On his site, there's this: "Hat Hut Records Ltd. established 1975, still owned by Werner X. Uehlinger restarts independently introducing the series „ezz-thetics“ in honoring the exceptional LP of George Russell and the great soli of Eric Dolphy on it." - which indeed doesn't help a bit in understanding what's going on. - Either way, it does seem that not like FMP which was just shut down, without anyone being allowed to market the great legacy of recordings (what a shame!), there's still some light ... I still have a faint hope of seeing the missing half of Braxton's Willisau set being reissued, eventually ... Plus, I do wonder wtf this is supposed to be:

fotofuckit still exists? and allow you to up stuff without you having to pay 300$ a year or what? either way, very cool ads, thanks for sharing! -- btw, the Conn of the Dodo Green (I like it, but it took me a few rounds) has plenty of bonus material, the CT has a long first take in its RVG guise, too - will these be included in this new series? Anyone knows?

Very sorry to hear that

Sorry, misread @jazzbo ... but still missed the info on that bonus track (got one each of the Shorters and Larry Youngs in the LT series)

A shame indeed!

Thanks, that had escaped me! Got some of those expanded SHM reissues, but none by Mobley.

So that's a bonus track that was not on the Conn CD?

I saw Frith in the living room of a friend, about two years ago, in duo with Hans Koch - that was amazing! Had to buy their Intakt disc after that but still haven't listened to it thoroughly ...

so Mingus stole Coles' trumpet, thinking he was dead and he could sell it later on?

Used to be that a 5-10 minute wait would omit posts being merged ... no intervening posts needed. If that's the case now, that's relatively new.

Regarding recent Intakt releases, I'm not looking forward that much to explore the two latest subscription discs I'm afraid (Yves Theiler Trio and Aki Takase sol), but I bought this one by Fred Frith with a variety of collaborators, reviews were most favourable, looking forward to checking it out: http://www.intaktrec.ch/320-a.htm

- I like it!

The notification using the @-sign didn't work - it only works if/when you pick the username from the list that will load while typing (for some reasons, that list will not always load). It's convenient in cases where you don't have a post to quote (or don't want to quote).

Thanks @Dan Gould

Any News? August came and went, and another August is coming up pretty soon ...

Thought so too, but there's a regular way to find it: use the "True Blue Music" header in the horizontal top menu and it will get you to the relevant listing ... they are not treating it as their own reissue (which I guess it isnt?) My parcel (two copies) is finally on the way, it took three orders, the first two were cancelled and my card temporarily blocked by the bank -- no idea what triggered that, maybe "All Stars" is code for terrorist group nowadays?

... and sometimes they just add a second OBI on top (I think there was only one shrinkwrap in the one case I've seen/bought, so really just two OBIs on top of eacht other)

The Ampex is the one that was reissued as "Blues in Orbit" on Enja later, right? "Black Saint" and "In Europe" are still avalable in their most recent Japanese incarnations (which I bought a while ago): http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/CDSOL-45010 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UVJZ-10168

Totally. This has just landed on my pile of yet-to-be-read books: I've made my escape from that part of the working world into administration and (not sure merikins can believe that) I'm very happy about this change ... also landed in semi-academia, so to speak, and on top of it all, I even get better pay. Just think about the potential savings that could be made in corporate communism (it's the US after all that has made communism work, ain't it funny? ) if all of those big-shots got fired and the actual skills of people and their ability to organise would be relied on?

my copy has shipped a few days ago, but I'll be on vacation from tomorrow, so I'll have to wait ...

Thanks for the alert @Chuck Nessa - will certainly be buying this!

Thanks again, everyone!

Thanks everyone! @brownieDevastating images from Notre Dame! I was fascinated by this (panoramic pictures taken from the roof, pre-fire of course), just shared elsewhere: https://www.martinloyer.fr/gigapixels-360/NotreDame/

Thanks Dan! I'm not around here often enough to catch b-days myself these days, so you have me blushing
