Chuck Nessa

I stopped reading when I discovered anyone can write. My chances for something good are slim.

I picked up a copy of that about 6 months ago.

i evened the playing field by eating pork chops.

I really appreciate this series. Hopefully it continues. I await another Wolf set as well.

PIANISTS?

IMHO, her masterpiece.

Not to mention Floyd Cramer.

Pretty hard to avoid Peterson if you like '50s Verve sessions.

The Ellington was whittled down from a 4 disc set.

a mogul.

i have a few - Sonny Clark trios, Burrell, etc. Maybe we should list our holdings.

But, it made me wonder if Jazz Messengers has a store in Madrid? Barcelona, yes - been there and spent money.

i was disappointed by both.

That "donation" generated a large tax deduction and relieved Universal of large archival expenses. Win / win for those guys,

Stuck in the Ms today.

Those 3 come pretty close to doing it for me.

Too many Trane eras to choose from. Interstellar Space is a wonderful capstone.

Working with Roscoe Mitchell on his project with the Montreal - Toronto Art Orchestra I was exposed to a number of Canadian musicians who should be known better outside of Canadia. Initially, the most striking is Yves Charuest. Sadly, he currently doesn't have any recordings available, but you can get a bit of him, as well as the fine bassist Nicolas Caloia at this site: http://musiquerayonnante.org/charuest-caloia.html. I hope to mention more of these fine artists in the future if anyone cares.

About 15 minutes ago I posted the same message on Facebook and have had 14 responses.

Last night it was Extraordinary Popular Delusions at the Beat Kitchen on Belmont in Chicago. Jim Baker - keyboards +, Brian Sandstrom - bass & guitar, Steve Hunt - drums and Mars Williams - reeds. These guys are all old friends but this is the first time I heard the band in the home place. Luckily the venue is a 10 minute bus ride from Carla's apartment. I miss living in Chicago.

This might be an Australian ad.

In spite of the "lounge lizard" cover image, some nice music with my old friend Byard Lancaster on this one.

I hear you - could be several places. More images by the artist at Corbett & Dempsey. We had a few to choose from and they are all worthy.

Thanks. We try to make our packages at least interesting and this one works. The painting is by Eleanor Cohen, a Chicago artist active in the '40s. Image courtesy of Corbett & Dempsey, Package design by Carla Nessa.
