Chuck Nessa

Damn.

crumbs

did not see that coming. earlier, yes.

Nice to see she appreciates my work.

Extra thanks to Peter for the friendship and drinks.

Enjoy them oysters and belated thanks for your hospitality at the Vanguard. Good to see you again and share stories. We had a great time.

That's been a symptom of a lot of NJ LPs that I've had. Some worse than others. New Jazz was a budget label for Prestige (the price was $1 or $2 less than regular Prestige). I have not found this problem to be common with main label Prestiges. New Jazz was not a budget label. Much confusion arises from the sloppy emergence of Status records. More later, no time now.

Martin deserves all the money you can send his way - the music is a bonus.

As someone making vinyl pressings from the mid '60s 'til the real end, I find this discussion interesting and frustrating at the same time. Sorry, not time to dwell on it.

Heard Barry at Jimmy's too. Remember great gin and tonics on a hot afternoon. It was near "Black Rock" iirc.

The guy's bio says he was born in '39. I figure he must know something..... and that might be....? I was born in '44 so I have 5 fewer years of knowing something?

Ditto again.

Nice!

Probably hasn't been a "clean win" in years. I don't care anymore.

Ditto

two interesting quotes about that record: "Damn, that's a real bebop rhythm section" - Roscoe Mitchell "Oh yeah, you got the real tapes" - Eli Thompson

I got my set elsewhere and they are sending a new one.

nice date.

Bach was a family man. Regarding mortals The people at Fat Cat are practically saints and are doing more for talented but lesser-known musicians for anyone else in NY except maybe Smalls. In your neck of the woods the only people I know are Lazaro Vega and Tim Scully and I have nothing but admiration for both. Lorraine is a creep who inherited a great club through marriage and ran it into the ground. Her importance is completely to herself. WTF does that have to do with where I live. If you are hinting I'm in the hinterlands, I was in the Vanguard a couple of weeks ago to hear the big band. FWIW, met Max back in the day and spent a delightful afternoon in a bar with Lorraine in the early '80s.

Hey, the club is still there and I have never had a problem with her. Few of the really important/good folks are warm and fuzzy.

He's also on the Uptown Freddie Redd record.

A Bruno Walter EMI Icon box is on the way.

I think that's Miss America.

That's Tony W.

Thanks to another thread I have been playing Fables with Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, George Lewis and Dave Holland. Record had not been played in about 20 years. Sounds great.
