Chuck Nessa

Sex? Who mentioned sex? If that's important, let me mention Keep A Knockin' (but 'cha can't come in)! Come back tomorrow night and try it again.

No, I'm sure Jim believes what you do is your life......and nobody's life is easy. Lou done a great job.

While we can all quibble about details (and personal prejudices) I think we all owe AMG and Mr. Yanow a debt of gratitude. We all have personal feelings about certain records: Maybe you got your first lay as a result of Spiritual Unity.... BUT this is a great source of info and Scott is a decent guide through 75 years of music. Some of the later entries by others are suspect.

I don't have a fuckin' clue.

Yes, Steve was a stickler about tuning his drums. I spent extra time making sure we captured all his sounds and gradations in the recording AND mixing of this date.

Better than if it had been intonined or intotenned. The mind reels at the possibilities.

Dan, get the Weinstock interview! If Cadence passes, someone else will be interested. If you contact Ira Sullivan feel free to use my name. It may help. If you have difficulty contacting him, I can help with that.

Chuck, could you please elaborate on this, or did I overlook some your comments on this earlier in this thread? Thanks a lot! Not sure what you want elaborated. I thought the earlier unquoted portion of the post set these sentences up, but......... Maybe my meaning will be clearer if you go back to Kart's post beginning with 'Jim, when you say, "I wonder how much of our differing views on the cat is chronological in nature," you're right.'

My sentence: was meant to include this. I meant a broader area than this - you can't lay a musician's commercial decisions at the feet of labels/producers. Availability of gigs has something to do with it too. In today's conservative musical scene, it would take a very strong individual to strike out in new directions. Most musicians do what they can, only a select few individuals are willing or able to "follow their muse".

Thanks for posting. Hadn't been there in a while and missed the topic.

Will they deduct the VAT for US customers?

As I recall, there was a score for Subtraction (primarily a composed piece). I don't remember the details of the notation, but it was on music paper.

As long as we're being nosy - might we ask which titles they were interested in?? Just curious... If memory still serves, they wanted to license the whole catalog.

You ignore commercial considerations.

Yeah, good goin' - congrats.

Didn't the History box miss a bunch of titles?

I declined the offer.

Claude is correct. The issue in question was a vinyl "sampler" called No Energy Crisis (Impulse 9267).

A few months ago someone from Water/etc. contacted me about licensing some of my titles. The person making the contact was Patrick Roques.

After inadvertantly fueling this thread, I thank Lonson for correctly stating my feelings about Tyrone. I think Larry Kart (after 30+ years I can't deal with Lawrence) stated my feelings/perspective on Henderson as well. You have to understand the times - when each performance seemed to reveal some new advancement towards more/new beauty. Silly as it sounds today, this was expected (under the current circumstances). After Judgment and Dialogue we felt betrayed by Bobby Hutcherson. Joe Henderson seemed another link in this chain. I remember being at a small party in Joseph Jarman's apartment ('66/'67) when he received a call saying the new Blue Notes were at Met Music (the hip store on the south side). We jumped in a car to retrieve Jackie McLean's Right Now. When we returned and threw the record on the turntable faces sagged. It was a wonderful JM date, but seemed to be a half step back. We were a tough audience.

I suggest you also pay attention to the Chicago series Chris did as well. Important stuff for all of us to digest and enjoy.

With their great catalog you need about 200 of them right away. You can buy the rest later.

Kevin was smearing something other than paint today.

The big diff is some make a career/reputation from these licks, nomatter how hip. Please note I did not charge anyone with this offense.

One of the high points, for me, is that Tyrone does NOT sound like Joe Henderson. Well that's a first impression, Chuck. Haven't been able to listen closely yet. BTW, what's wrong with Joe Henderson?? Conn, Kart and Jimbo all seem to think I dissed Joe Henderson. Please read again. I am not stupid enough to bring up misgivings about Joe in this house. I do think he's "over-revered" but am not interested in that fight.
