Chuck Nessa

I've listened to the first two discs while working - not really carefully - and it sounded good.

The Shearing Quintet was the first "name" group I experienced "in person" back in the '50s. G'bye George.

I was reminded of JR Monterose telling me he used to run into Roy in the kid's department of Macy's while shopping for clothes. Really.

Jim, watch your email box - your pm box must be filled - or I am blocked.

Not just thinking.

She's no Slam Stewart. Look for her to lose the bass in the future. "What's her hand doing?" It's looking for a pocket. A star is being born.

+ 25% on some titles.

Gentle Ben was the name of a children's tv show in the US.

Some of her sessions with Jug are split over many lps, but most of it is available on Late Hour Special, Soul Summit, Up Tight and Gentle Jug cds.

Oops.

The first online review is in: Here.

This has also been covered in Chris Kelsey's blog http://chriskelsey.com/blog/ . I have not read this thread for a couple of reasons - I read the stuff on Chris's blog AND I had a nasty confrontation with Murray a few years ago and don't care what he thinks. Time for all to "move on folks, nothing to see here".

You also have to understand the time/work it takes to get the tapes transferred properly AND get the documentation done correctly.

Because he knew/thought he didn't have rights and as a result JR didn't make any money.

I found one in 1966 - still sealed. Sadly, I sold it to finance my cds.
