Chuck Nessa

Alan Bates owns it as far as I know.

After living through some of them at the time and listening to most of them, I say 40% very interesting, 60% specialists only. That may be too generous. Maybe a 4 disc set.

My all time favorite is "WHY IS CHUCK NESSA SUCH A JERK?".

Welcome!

What's breakfast?

Unless you are not a fan of "pre-bop" styles, the Hodges set is the best by far.

If you haven't spent over $10,000 on your sound system, buy the music you want. If you have a +$10,000 system your priority is probably not music. Please explain why people should spend more money to get shitty sound from cds they love. My reason for being involved in the music biz was to spread the joy, not bitch. Hardware salesmen are "something else".

Very good advice from Mr. Gitin - but it is manditory you argue with him. Intellectual pursuits ain't 'sposed to be easy. If they were, we'd all be geniuses.

I used to have a copy. Sold it for "big bucks".

Just like a McGriddle!

I don't think he asked for the easiest to find.

Hey Jim, just in case you do die - all existing contracts are binding - right?

No.

Sugar Bowl, the Bessie, and Mother E are fine recordings - but I'd give (something that looked like) my left nut for a tape of her and Gerald Donovan's nights at the Hungry Eye (Chicago, late '60s - near the Plugged Nickel). They ran an open set. Gene Dinwiddie was the normal sax player, but Roscoe Mitchell, Lester Bowie, Maurice McIntyre, etc used to sit in regularly. On top of everything, she's a very fine lady.

In true record producer tradition - I want the publishing.

Might be a misdeal. Send $10 and you can have an lp.

Better to buy more music.

The missing numbers are unissued dates. More later. Bob Sunenblick started the label and after a couple of years, took on Mark Feldman (MD, not the fiddler) as a partner. After a few years they "divorced" and Mark started Reservoir. Mark got the dates I mentioned, and unissued dates by Leitch (Red Zone), Joe Puma and Ralph Moore. Bob still has "in the can" unissued dates by Beryl Booker, Dave Schildkraut, Lennie Andrade and Freddie Redd. The Redd and Schildkraut dates are in my hands, and any delay can be laid at my feet

Thanks, I ordered 9.

Missing from the list: 27.06 JR Monterose/Tommy Flanagan And A Little Pleasure 27.16 Pepper Adams Live At Fat Tuesday's 27.21 Buddy Tate/Al Grey Just Jazz 27.24 Peter Leitch Exhilaration Some of the Uptown lp titles (27.06, 08, 16, 17, 21 and 24) belong to Reservoir now.

I have the JRVG of Demon's Dance, and it is much better than the domestic disc. I'd like to have Rudy remaster Compulsion.

Both now available for $31 plus 1.42 for Media Mail.

Rather than intrude on the other thread, I thought I'd start my own. Does this mean that we can get "deals" on Kobe beef?

After "All Music" by Warne Marsh, I'd like to see Roscoe Mitchell's "Nonaah" and Charles Tyler's "Saga of the Outlaws". Maybe after that, Wadada Leo Smith's "Spirit Catcher" an some Bobby Bradford/John Stevens collaborations. Unusual disclaimer: All kinds of commercial considerations.

I think it came from France. probably from the French capitol of Cleveland.
