Chuck Nessa

Don't know about Clyde. He didn't move to Green Bay did he? Here is the original cover of the recording in question:

I said "con-man" because in order to do their work con artists typically must pretend to have emotions (i.e. deep concern for those they aim to bilk) that they don't actually have, and there was something about much of Morgan's "comeback" era playing that gave me that feeling -- in particular, that the overtly emotional gestures in his playing seemed to be just that, something separate from rather than the inevitable outgrowth of the musical flow. I should add, though I can't be wholly sure about this, that I think I had this feeling before rather than after after I became aware of the details of Morgan's criminal career. I'm with Larry on this one.

MOR?

This is not a string section as such - all solo voices. Joseph Livoisi - violin David Uchitel - viola William Eder - cello Clyde Lombardi - bass

During that week a the Showcase I spent a lot of time with Art and Laurie. We were putting together a group of "Art Pepper All Stars" for the Chicago Jazz Festival. I had Russ Freeman, Jack Sheldon and Shelly Manne booked. We had not finalized the bass player, so that was left unsettled. I will never forget driving around the city one night looking for food at 4 am. We wound up at a Golden Nugget on Lincoln ave.

If he has "Politics/Religion" blocked, would his search find it?

It would be nice to see the contents. Unless something is "really special" I will stick with my original Contact lp ordered by mail a thousand years ago.

Kalaparusha has an incredible sound on tenor.

Jerry Van Dyke?

Me too.

True. What an amazing musician - and in a way, he didn't have a clue.

And a very tidy lawn it is Mr. O'Reilly.

I think in the initial post Paul was looking beyond "chops".

Not cool.

Let it be IMO.

The first NRG record (ncd-21) and the last of the Art Ensemble box (ncd-29) will be released together sometime before the end of the year. That's all I know right now. It depends on how quickly things fall into place.

Guess you had to be there at the time.

I liked the artwork as well.

I didn't know the stamp was being held, so I certainly didn't know it was released. Somewhere in Texas it seems. That figures.

Working on cd reissues and wanted to share this pic.

Ah.

Don Schlitten rarely mixed with others. Joe Fields felt the rest of us were dilettantes. Not aware of a Fields/Brightman connection.

Hmm. You may be right but I can't imagine Nancy, Bob's wife, running a coffee shop - maybe his daughter Beth.

All sport is now based on cheating.

thank god i'm not involved it this thread.
