3 unusual facts about Hathut Records


Hathut Records

Though initially primarily a jazz label, Hathut (under the patronage of UBS) would later add avant garde classical composers including Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Scelsi and others to its catalogue.

Founded in 1975 by Werner X. Uehlinger (born 1935) to document the work of saxophonist / trumpeter Joe McPhee.

Funding from UBS ceased in 2000 but the label has since received sponsorship from VITRA / ROLF FEHLBAUM for an ongoing series of projects and from the DANZAS GROUP.
