Yes, great stuff.

More interesting series (or sublabel, whatever) of Hat Hut is hatART: https://www.discogs.com/label/138774-hat-ART . A lot of great 90's jazz there, this one for example: The series was discontinued in 1997 and hatOLOGY and hat[now]ART imprints were started. Quite a few of the hatART releases were later reissued as a part of these new series, but not all. Most of the stuff is available on streaming now.

Great stuff indeed.

Yes, absolutely.

From my yesterday's bandcamp haul: Bruised by Tony Bevan, Orphy Robinson, John Edwards, Ashley Wales and Mark Sanders - fantastic. I remember eyeing it way back when, 15 years ago in the Funny Rat times, but Foghorn CDs were quite expensive then. Now at GBP 6 per download (and GBP 4 per CD!) there is absolutely no excuse not to get it. https://tonybevan.bandcamp.com/album/bruised

Available on streaming services (in Ultra HD no less on amazon music!).

Anybody knows what mastering was used on the Wayne Shorter set? I just did a quick A/B comparison with my standard RVG of "Adam's Apple" and it definitely sounds different.

You can get it as a part of this set: https://www.amazon.com/5-Original-Albums-CD/dp/B07BLHMWYL/

Oh man, this is great. Such a gorgeous sound! Thanks for bringing this up, no way I would have learned about it otherwise. Just sold my box on Discogs. I thought the performances were stilted and mechanistic, and the instrument sounded tinny. Many many better versions available, IMHO. This one, for example:

I like his "Solo" on Concord.

Mine too. My go-to McPhee recommendation is "Grand Marquis", a tenor duo with drummer John McLellan, on Boxholder.

Just listened to her "Early Americans" album (trio with Mark Helias and Bobby Previte), I think it is just great and the production is fantastic.

Well, I love Kidd Jordan and Fred Anderson (although with Anderson most of his releases sound kind of the same to me). I can't stand David S. Ware, never could. Brötzmann at least I used to like, and quite a bit so, but Ware - never. There was one album of his that I thought was mildly interesting - "Corridors & Parallels", but mainly due to Shipp's synth playing.

I think so. A lot of predictable 60s fire-music clichés. On the other hand, Adams and Sanders are fantastic on this one, I would have been very happy if this were their duo album. Here is what I had to say about it last week... oh wait, 16 years ago - and I still think the same way (I am actually listening to the album right now):

Very true. Speaking about bagpipes (aren't we always?), for years I've been meaning to check out Dunmall on the instrument. I don't like his tenor playing (boring), his soprano is horrendous (IMHO, of course), but I remember quite liking the only bagpipe record of his I heard ("Hit and Run" on FMP). And what's up with Psi-ficaton of the cover art?

I skimmed through the Barry Guy solo set ( https://nobusinessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/irvins-comet ), sounds good. The download price is better from the No Business website directly: http://www.nobusinessrecords.com/irvins-comet.html

Maybe they would have got it if you spelled his name correctly?

I listened to this one for the first time and it's highly recommended. It's not as confrontational as their previous collaboration, Tangle. Butcher is more upfront, Shipp is more subdued. The sound is excellent.

Rogueart offers a Mitchell bundle - 9 albums (some of which are double CDs) for 80 euro plus shipping: https://roguart.com/product/roscoe-mitchell-on-rogueart/166

Not sure how you do it. I thought listening to AMM while doing taxes is the only option.

Guys, I encourage you all to take a look at the Cafe Oto membership option. For GBP 100 per year you get three free downloads per month (and discounts on additional downloads) - not just from the Cafe Oto in-house label but also from Matchless, Astral Spirits, Ogun, Incus, Fataka, Okka, Trost, etc. Tons of great music there: https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/downloads/ A lot of stuff that flew below the radar when it was released (for me, at least). I downloaded Evan Parker + AMM yesterday: https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/evan-parker-amm-title-goes-here-dl/ - outstanding, listened to it three times in a row (while doing my taxes, no less). And I am not even an EP fan!

Yes, I was there in 2002. Fantastic show. I saw the tentet a couple of times since then, and it never reached the level of that 2002 Tonic concert.
