I was in college in Madison when Chuck Nessa sold records there...

I was in graduate school there, and met Chuck when I went by the record store and was amazed by the Art Ensemble window display, lps by Roscoe, Lester, et al.

Asking who did it, I met Chuck. (Didn't know who it was I met until telling this story online, and Chuck said it was him). Caught the AEC performing in Spring '72 at the Newman (Roman Catholic) Center just off campus.

I saw some great things at the Newman Center (including a reading by poet John Berryman) but I remember I had some school performance or rehearsal (classical) I couldn't get out of that AEC night... did see Cecil Taylor quite a bit while he was teaching there (including that very semester, I think).

Chuck used to run a record-store operation here in Bloomington, too. There's a guy here who hosts and performs in a weekly jazz gig here who still talks of his awe as a teenager at going in to buy AEC records, and how Chuck brought them to B-town for a concert.
