And more... Dear Friend, End of September 2009, two new recordings will be available. L a c y P o o l Uwe Oberg -piano Christof Thewes -trombone Michael Griener -drums hatOLOGY 677 Barcode 752156.068426 Total Time 50:14 DDD At every step, Lacy Pool finds new expressive possibilities in Lacy’s innate, albeit curiously tailored, logic. Their personalities replace Lacy’s and change the way we hear this music, which is as it should be. The song may have inspired the players, but the players have become the song. – Art Lange A chaque mesure, Lacy Pool trouve de nouvelles possibilités expressives dans la logique innée, quoiqu’étrangement bien ajustée, de Lacy. Leurs personnalités remplacent celle de Lacy et modifient, comme il se doit, la manière dont nous percevons cette musique. La mélodie peut avoir inspiré les musiciens, mais les musiciens sont eux-mêmes devenus cette mélodie. – Art Lange  Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6 : Dulcet Crush Manuel Mengis -trumpet Reto Suhner -alto saxophone & alto clarinet Roland von Flüe - tenor saxophone & bass clarinet Flo Stoffner -electric quitar Marcel Stalder -electric bass Lionel Friedli -drums hatOLOGY 684 Barcode 752156.067726 Total Time 52:02 DDD Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6 is also available on: hatOLOGY 627 Into The Barn hatOLOGY 659 The Pond Is three the magic number? For many jazz musicians it’s an important one. Every record is of course significant, but the third is often more closely scrutinised. In this sense, it’s both a great opportunity and a niggling pressure: the chance to really begin cementing a good name, with a little weight of added expectation. Manuel Mengis, however, did not feel any of this. He even identifies a more relaxed approach than his two previous releases, partially due to shifting priorities in life. An atmosphere of light, easy contentment shines through the music – Mengis and the Gruppe 6 are really enjoying themselves, free of any kind of external strain. And the pleasure is contagious.– Frederick Bernas Serait-ce 3, le nombre magique? Pour de nombreux musiciens de jazz, il s’agit sans aucun doute d’un chiffre important. Chaque enregistrement est évidemment déterminant, mais le troisième est souvent minutieusement considéré. En ce sens, il représente tant une magnifique opportunité qu’une pression exacerbée: la chance de commencer à cimenter un nom porteur tout en assumant le poids d'une attente accrue. Manuel Mengis, pourtant, n’a pas connu ce ressenti. Il a même identifié une approche plus détendue que celle de ses deux enregistrements précédents, imputable en partie à l'évolution des priorités dans sa vie. Une atmosphère de lumière et de simple contentement rayonne à travers la musique - Mengis et Group 6 prennent vraiment du plaisir à jouer, libres de toute forme de tension externe. Et le plaisir est contagieux. – Frederick Bernas Followed by two remastered reissues on October 20th, 2009: hatOLOGY 666 : Dave Douglas' Tiny Bell Trio, Constellations hatOLOGY 687 : Ran Blake & Anthony Braxton, Memories Of Vienna Best regards, Werner X.

CD 1 Total Time ADD 52:25 CD 2 Total Time ADD 52:00 Barcode 752156064428 Recorded in concert in Koeln on May 12th, 1978 The Koeln concert shows us these positive vibrations marching through "the complete continuance of creative music," and on towards the next millennium. The "success of the future" is not a lost cause as long as there is music like this in the air. – Graham Lock Enregistrement life à Cologne le 12 mai 1978. Le concert de Cologne témoigne de ces vibrations positives en marche à travers«la continuité parfaite de la musique créative», et vers le prochain. Le «succès de l'avenir» n'est pas une cause perdue tant qu’existera une telle musique. – Graham Lock Live-Aufnahme in Koeln vom 12. Mai 1978. Das Koelner Konzert beweist, dass sich diese positiven Schwingungen durch „die ganze kreative Musik“ hindurch und ins naechste Jahrtausend weiter fortpflanzen. Der „Erfolg der Zukunft“ ist keine aussichtslose Sache, solange Musik wie diese in der Luft liegt. – Graham Lock Best regards, Werner X. Uehlinger  Hat Hut Records LTD.

Normally I would be all over this, but Rocco runs it Labor Day Weekend, and I normally go to the Telluride Film Festival each Labor Day weekend. So I missed last year's installment and might miss this year. However, I might have to forgo Telluride, in which case I'll try to attend as much of this as possible. I hope it cools down by then!

DHL announced some time ago that they were basically pulling out of the American market, leaving it to UPS and Fed Ex.

Does anyone know of a preferred CD that includes Big Jay's 1953-54 Federal recordings. Is the Chronological Classics covering them the only one?

Good to hear the US Postal Service is doing its job well. Thanks for reporting in. Adding a few more discs.

But I thought at least one of his predecessors, Steve Allen, had lots of jazz guests. Do you mean his two followers? yeah, they are too much into rock and not into exploring anything else.

Happy Birthday and Have a fabulous next year!

Thanks for the purchases. Should be shipping tomorrow. Updated with additions (and deleting sold items)

I am sending a PM re: Lawrence Brown - Slide Trombone (Verve Elite Edition 1999) - $15 Thanks! EDIT: I think I sent you a message but it's not showing up in my "sent" box. I can do Paypal, just need your account address. Thanks again! Sent PM. Let me know if you received it. I'll put it on hold for you until I know more.

What DVD? I'm looking at my box right now (before sending it to Peter tomorrow); ain't no DVD in it, never was...

Yes, I'm game. PM sent.

yes, Buddy definitely seemed to be enjoying himself. he conducted the band from his wheelchair in the audience close to the stage. he was mobbed with well-wishers, gifts, cards, flowers, balloons, big birthday cake, etc. so many of his family members were there: his "kids," grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Buddy's mind is still sharp as a tack and he can still talk his ass off as well! lots of very valuable information in his head and he loves to share it. Wow, was it a public event? Sorry I missed it. I did go to some of the World Stage Jazz Festival yesterday but left too early from that. But it didn't seem like it was part of that.

The link doesn't work because it is missing the letter "h" at the start, before "ttp." Here it is: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemon...ywood-bowl.html Mark Swed is primarily the classical music critic for the LA Times, and I think he's mostly pretty good and smart.

Well, it's a color shot of close ups of the heads of all 5 members of the band, on a angle. Let me try to find a link. This one: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:w9foxqt5ldde but without the line about remastering at the bottom.

replied to both, and updated & added some titles to the list

updated with additions.

Thank you for all this. I'd like to do a documentary on Big Jay. I owe him a call.

Yes, probably. I will see how these do. If not so well, I might wait til September or later for the others. Adam
