Chuck Nessa

Never knew the Brute cared for Zappa.

I couldn't resist this for $15.17 though I have the big box. The Master Takes.

Another review of Ride the Wind and much more at https://www.thewholenote.com/index.php/booksrecords2/jazzaimprovised/28070-something-in-the-air-the-continued-relevance-of-composer-performer-roscoe-mitchell-summer-2018

I admit to both comments and have around 20 Ervin cds.

All of my personal collection is packed and sent ahead to Buffalo. I also have an original iPod filled with a pretty complete history of the first 50 years of jazz. For my deliberation I have saved an enormous amount of Roscoe Mitchell "private" recordings - files Roscoe sent me and events I had recorded. No need to tease you, but serious for me.

My good friend Scott Thompson has announced the lineup. You can find it here: http://guelphjazzfestival.com I think we will be settled by then and will attend.

You don't know that. :-)

LOL

The tapes were originally produced and owned by Albert Marx. He just reclaimed them from Atlantic and did them properly. Most of the early Fischer dates were Marx productions. He licensed other titles to Columbia and Warner Bros. I think they all eventually came back to him.

Salt enhances sweet and the inverse is true. Watermelon/salt, cantaloupe/salt and tomato/sugar.

Thanks for having a go at it. Appreciated.

The Pepper never made sense as a Mosaic. As a body of work it is a monument to Pepper and Koenig, but I do not see anything gained by the Mosaic treatment.

Again.

You got the Anthony Weiner edition!

Muhal Richard Abrams and Roscoe Mitchell - Constellation, August 17, 2014.

I opened the Chicago office around 1981, left in 1984 to be replaced by Pete Crawford. The Chicago office closed a few years back and moved to Florida. It is now called Stateside.

No mention of CTA/Chicago.

I Roscoe Mitchell and Muhal Richard Abrams - duo concert from 2014. I hope to issue this if all agree.

Which version - lp or cd? The vinyl version was a label created by Jerry Valburn of Ellington Treasury fame. I am not sure the cd version was connected to him, or if they just copped some of his stuff.

An old friend. Pleased to have captured him a few times.

Cornbread.

I found the Dameron date sad/creepy.

and he played Mel well, as he played everyone in his path. (insert snarky emoji)

The WB pressings were from Wakefield, the plant I used most of the time.
