Chuck Nessa

Not around here.

Sadly, still gathering historical information for that one. Keep your fingers crossed - the music has been mastered and sounds fine. I want the documentation to reflect the importance of the music.

Thanks Bill. Heal well.

Rango II.

Shwing?

Though it is listed as a June release on Amazon and elsewhere, I hope to have it in 3 or 4 weeks. I will let everyone know.

"Crisis" was initially going to be a 2 lp set.

Never heard Eddie Johnson before but I just went to amg and listened to some samples from his Delmark date. Sounds great. I will be getting this Nessa date for sure. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/eddie-johnson-p90981 For more info on EJ check out this.

Beautifully put. Thanks to Mr Tesser for that in the new note he wrote for the reissue.

On the way in a few weeks: Eddie Johnson died on April 7, 2010. In the three decades between then and the making of this album, he recorded sparsely - once more under his own name for Delmark, with appearances on only a few other discs. Until his health betrayed him, he played regularly with the group on this recording, in a style that carried an authentic blast from the past. He was among the last exemplars of the swing tenor sound, in which every note carries its own inflection, each phrase a distinct imagery, the whole solo rippling and cresting with the limitless nuance of human speech. For this recording Eddie assembled a stellar group of Chicago veterans; Paul Serrano - trumpet, John Young - piano, Eddie de Haas - bass and George Hughes - drums.

The cover on the right was a French reissue.

good call.

Really disappointed no other reviews have appeared.

I always thought the participants seemed uncomfortable on these recordings.

I got something like $500 for my copy.

Family history might be involved but otherwise, she's stupid.

Many thanks for the report. I have been looking for messages from Japan. All the best to you.

and "emotionally/viscerally"?

I didn't know Ms. Palin had recorded.

I second that.

Relax Hans.

This Musicstack seller is City Hall Records - his US distributor and mine. No worries. I don't think Jonathan is doing mail order himself.
