  2. What to Reissue

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    It was easier to keep Hat Hut stuff in print - especially the lower-selling discs - when Werner and the label were swimming in UBS arts funding money. That's not as plentiful now, so I can imagine the label is on a tighter budget.

    Yup. Got tons of Hat's with UBS stamped all over it.

    I actually find their shipping to be an amazing deal. It's a flat $6 no matter how many items you get. So purchasing one CD or LP is a poor deal, but if you stock up you essentially pay nothing for shipping.

    Gotta keep that in mind cuz I only order one thing at a time from them. :shrug[1]:

    But on the other hand, I visit Chicago regularly and hit up Reckless and the Exchange back to back and walk away with incredible deals through and through.

  4. Bill Dixon Soul Note Box

    Some of the most incredible and under-heard creative music of the last 30 years on those records and one of the best groups ever (the triad of McPhee, Jaume and Boni that is). I wish Werner X would do more to keep his core 80s-early 90s catalogue in print: the McPhees, the Braxtons, the Hemingways, the Koglmanns.

    Yup! Couldn't said it better myself.:D

    I'd like to see this available again on CD at a normal price.

    Must be my lucky day, cuz I just spotted this one in a store that has no emphasis on jazz whatsoever for $6.99; I'm running back there first thing tomorrow morning to buy it!!!!!

    I always like that bit of luck. I check the hell out of Reckless Records' website, which is mostly indie rock but carries a lot of jazz; they price their Miles & Coltrane rather competitively but anything else is fair game. I've walked away with OOP stuff and Mosaics for a steal.

    Yup, Reckless is great in that regard. I've walked away with Ray Draper's Tuba Sounds for $8 and Sirone's Live for $3; but when ordering on line, they rape you with a $8 mailing fee, which means they're great if you shop their shops in person. :blush:

    Listening to Vade Mecum right now. Like Impulse Coltrane, Braxton, the Atlantic Ornettes, Blue Note Andrew Hill, and early Art Ensemble, listening to post-70's Dixon is a completely immersive experience for me. Even if the recordings are meant to be taken each as a piece, there's a general sonic territory to the music on the Soul Note Box that makes for excellent sustained listening--it's the sort of terrain I could be happy to live inside of.

    :tup

    Ditto Joe McPhee's Po Music series.

    Joe's Hat albums are intense!!!

  12. What music did you buy today?

    Hit my local Exchange and nothing really special there, but on the way out the door, I asked if they had any jazz going out and the clerk said, "we just got the motherload, you like the older stuff?" I kid you not, there were two stacks on the floor with about 125 cd's in each stack, that hadn't even been put out for sale yet. The clerk said, you wanna pull up a chair? ...HELL YEAH I DO!!!!

    This stuff was crazy!!! Out of print BN's, obscure labels, OJC's, Pacific Jazz and on and on and on...and the prices were insanely low!

  14. Bill Dixon - Intents & Purposes reissue

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    Look to Bill Dixon's Facebook page for more information regarding this reissue in the coming weeks.

    We are in production of the material from Bill Dixon's final concert, recorded three weeks before his death, and the album will see release early this summer on the VICTO label.

    Great news! Thanks for posting.

    Any of these, but (at least for me) especially "Of Human Feelings" (which was out only very briefly on CD in Japan 20+ years ago)...

    colemanat12.jpgcolemancrisis.jpg

    Ornette at 12 (1969) & Crisis (1972) [both on Impulse]

    Would Ornette be willing to sell the rights to the Impulse!'s? He doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to reissue them.
