Chuck Nessa

The only gold trident label I ever had/saw was a reissue of Saxophone Colossus from around 1963.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Not sure it adds up.

Hey Free, despite your avatar, why not the other one? I must say I agree with the choice but....

Sorry to be late to the game but Friday night Ann and I went to hear Steve Swell and Mikolaj Traska at Hugo's place in Grand Rapids. Steve is always very fine and Traska is a new discovery for me - a strong alto player from Poland.

I was about to make a similar post.

Looks real. Never saw one though.

Worth remembering.

From the thread title, I was sure it was Chewy.

I find him very interesting but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. I have 23 cds and a few lps remain. I think he hired a lot of talented people and appreciate them.

Nor does Bruyninckx.

What Marcello said. Thanks.

Another Hasaan recording exists in the Atlantic vaults. The masters were destroyed in the Atlantic warehouse fire but a good copy (at 7.5 ips) survives. It is a quartet with Odean Pope, Art Davis and Khalil Madi.

I've purchased a few from them with no problems.

Me too.

Why not record and release something new on Nessa? I'm sure Chuck would be very happy to do just that if you sent him a few thousand $$$... I don't think Chuck will be very happy ever, with anything, but maybe as he and his company concentrate on nothing but re-issues, at the moment anyway, he should refrain from commenting when people choose to spend their time and money on other re-issues. I am frequently disappointed, but usually happy - just ask people who know me. My last issue was not a reissue. I am currently working on 2 new titles, not reissues. I am also working on 4 reissues. I feel if I record something, I owe it to the artists to make the material available (so they can make some money and get recognition) as best I can.

I heard his family sided with the "mistress". The wife doesn't seem to be a sympathetic figure.

At least in the last 15 years or so, the pressings are made in the same plants from the same parts. The labels are different and the barcode is replaced in the printing files.

Whatever happened to "the sound of surprise"?

I think you overestimate the idea.

Can I take it there is not Latin side of Mr Herwig? Why draw in another musician's name/reputation? Oh yeah, I forgot - nobody would notice.

Why not buy something new?

Earlier Lacy played Johnny Come Lately with Cecil Taylor at Newport.

The NFL is a joke this year. Geez!!!

Perils of the WWII shellac demand.
