Derek Taylor reviewed Silver Cornet in Dusted: http://dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/102549998519/bradford-gjerstad-quartet-silver-cornet-nessa

I think they played at the All Ways Lounge in NOLA last night.

Needless brain drain at this point (we could all blame Bird for smack or Pops for weed - the gateway). Listen to the music and enjoy or not.

Paal Nilssen-Love, drums and Jon Rune Strøm, bass. Swell should be a good partner for Frode. We plan on catching them next week in Chicago at Constellation.

Hmmmm. First sentence of the piece "Late Jazz legend Thelonious Monk is known across the world as a musician, bandleader, composer and vocalist."

All Ra freaks should motor to Chicago for the New Year Celebration at Constellation - Marshall Allen and the band will usher in 2015 and your ticket price is $35 in advance as I understand it.

This cd set caught me by surprise - I remembered a single Dover lp but had no idea there was a complete series on 6 discs.

I'm not.

Blue by Mostly Other People Do the Killing.

Back in the day I was told the second volume wasn't issued since one of the bass players couldn't play in tune.

Say good night Gracie.

So that's what Clem looks like.

I think it is fun but am not sure the "model" is the author.

No worries.

Thanks. Sorry if I was too excited.

Chuck, I imagine you've had a pretty amazing career. I've noticed you've recorded Mr. Bowie a few times. I intend to check those out. I was pretty pleased to see this one sitting in a used bin this afternoon, clean as a whistle. I don't think it's ever been issued on cd. I very much enjoyed Side 1 . . . Career be damned. Lester was a friend.

A bunch of friends in that image. I miss Lester.

All the best!!

Or a "poor man's Gaudi".

All the best from the Nessa household.
