With the introduction of the series hatOLOGY in 1997, we moved from jewel box to cardboard packaging. Hat Hut Records once more pioneering! We have been leading and helping a trend which is taken over more and more.
We are now with the ezz-thetics series in the 24th year presenting our CDs in an ecological packaging.
And new Collecting Experiences with the sub-series „Revisited“: 1960s performances make a comeback as „Revisited“ CD releases planned for the year 2021. During my early „schooldays“ in the 1960s, as a consumer and regular listener of LPs, I experienced many artists with great recordings. The series „Revisited“ of Hat Hut Records are made up of a selection of important releases from that decade which I would like to share with you in my passion for these creative years in Avantgarde Jazz.
Thank you to Peter Pfister, the sound engineer I have been working together since 1978 without any interruption.His technical knowledge and also his past experience as a violinist helped me to develop and keep up the sound which is known today for the sound carriers of Hat Hut Records.
Peter Pfister is highly respected also by many musicians Hat Hut Records has recorded.
They have approached him for their own projects to benefit from his outstanding experience.
Also the reviewers started to discover his qualities as mastering engineer and celebrated his approach in their reviews.
Now after working 42 years together with Peter Pfister, I decided to try out a new generation of sound engineers which I found in Michael Braendli at Hardstudios AG in Winterthur. Please do not expect a revolution of the familiar Hat Hut sound. The high audio quality of the discs will remain but in addition offering new up to now unknown details to the avid listeners.
