    "Afternoon, Easter Sunday 2017…I’m sitting at my desk scrolling through Facebook and I see a nice photo of Allan Holdsworth sitting on the floor with his two daughters and a granddaughter, holding his guitars. Sweet, then I’m totally shocked to find Louise Holdsworth letting us know Allan passed away, only 70."

    This comes as a real shock ..... I wonder what the causes of his untimely death were. He was the only fusion guitarist I could enjoy, much more than McLaughlin or anybody else. I saw him live with Terry Bozzio's overkill drumset band a few years ago, but he took a strict sideman role there. 

    Actually, now that you said something, there were not a lot of fusion guys that really grabbed me.
     

    I heard "audience recordings' of the band with Bozzio and Levin, not a very focused affair. I think all they did was show up and jam, no tunes.

    no real details, other than a Facebook post by one of his daughters.

    It is with heavy hearts that we notify everyone of the passing of our beloved father. We would appreciate privacy and time while we grieve the loss of our dad, grandad, friend and musical genius. We will update close friends and family when service arrangements have been made and will notify the public of an open memorial service, which all would be welcome. We are undeniably still in shock with his unexpected death and cannot begin to put into words the overwhelming sadness we are experiencing. He is missed tremendously.

    I'm shocked and very sad. Allan was a game changer. Guitar was never the same after we heard him.

    Outhere Music acquires HatHut Records

    "Outhere Music is proud to announce the acquisition of the catalogue of the legendary Swiss jazz
    and contemporary music label HatHut Records. HatHut Records boasts an impressive number of
    more than 500 CD’s and LP’s, produced by its visionary founder, Werner X. Uehlinger over 40
    years. Major composers such as John Cage, Morton Feldman, Giacinto Scelsi, Galina Ustvolskaya
    and interpreters like Paul Bley, Anthony Braxton, Ellery Eskelin, Steve Lacy, Joe McPhee, Cecil
    Taylor or the Sun Ra Arkestra have put their faith in the label.


    The integration into the Outhere Music group will enable HatHut Records to perpetuate its
    pioneering role while strengthening Outhere’s position in the fields of jazz and of contemporary
    music. Werner X. Uehlinger of Hat Hut Records will collaborate closely with the Outhere team to
    keep the label’s spirit. Around 12 to 16 new CD releases will be produced each year.
    Charles Adriaenssen, founder and president of Outhere Music says: “HatHut Records is a mythical
    label and its founder Werner an incredibly progressive idealist. His productions are as fresh and
    stimulating today as they were 40 years ago. I’m proud and happy to work with him to perpetuate and
    develop his creation.”

    Werner X. Uehlinger, founder of HatHut Records said: “With offices in Brussels, Paris, Cologne, Milan
    and recently in London, Outhere Music will provide a wider reach for HatHut Records albums and
    artists and will integrate the label into its worldwide digital and physical distribution network from
    early 2017. By this acquisition,  Outhere confirms its policy of supporting creative labels and achieves an
    interesting diversification.”"
