Chuck Nessa

Had the pleasure of having dinner with Roy Haynes along with Dexter Gordon, Red Rodney and Ira Gitler after one of Joe Segal's "Charlie Parker Month" celebrations. It was August 23, 1970. Ira kept joking that Roy's name had been "typo-ed" in the NY Times - he kept addressing him as Hag-nes. Some material was issued on this -

The material from Maiden Voyage is doubled in this set -

I enjoyed those records so much I broke down and bought the 7 cd set in February - though I haven't made it through them all yet

This arrived early evening, so it is ready for the morning. Interesting to compare it to the vinyl set from 50 years back.

I think it is all up on YouTube. When I returned it to the shelf I ran across this and will play it next.

This is the lp set

Lou was a sweetheart! Back in 1981 when I was chairman of the Chicago Jazz Festival, I put together a Jimmy Smith Jam and Lou was part of the band. Over rehearsals, sound check and performance I had occasion to introduce Lou to my 2 children at different times. When Lou met my second child, he chuckled and said "I feel much better now - this one is yours for sure".

As I said in the post, it is a cd version of an lp box they did 50 years ago. No duplication.

Faster than that!!

The new Charles Ives box prompted me to listen to this set and order the new cd version of an lp box I've had for 50 years It should be delivered tomorrow.

Fascinating.

I had the pleasure of catching Johnny Board once a week at Andy's in Chicago circa 1977-1984, usually in tandem with Eddie Johnson.

Still waiting for my Frito Lay.
