Chuck Nessa

You will both be mightily impressed.

I'd think boring your students is your job.

As I understand it, most of the masters were owned by the artists, not the label.

I said it was very near that for me. I now have hundreds of cds, lps and tapes. Around the same time I connected (in that way) to Elvis and Little Richard. I have collected all, but the Ellington connection sent me on my life path. My ipod only has Ellington, for my trips from home. Any other recollections/connections?

I think it's Hancock, or Haig, or Triglia.

Jim seems to be into some stuff that makes me wonder...... The rest of the title is "I'd have a tough time".

Jeez, I hope "male jazz vocalists" don't make it to some government "protected" list.

Thanks again.

His relationship with anyone on stage seemed glacial. I saw him around 20 times. That was part of playing the role of "Johnny Hodges".

She was a special human at a necessary time.

Time to state the mono rules -

I was just pointing out this was his commercial starting point - nothing else intended.

It's the "start" Frank gave us.

Perhaps major labels still follow an unwritten rule not to poach each other, despite the European copyright law. So how come these tracks are on the US box? If I read the item descriptions on Amazon correctly both were reissued by Sony. So how come Sony managed to include them for the US release but not for the European one? Doesn't look like a case of "not poaching each other" but more like some other behind the curtain scheme... Sony probably leased the material from Universal for the US market only.

Wrong Face to Face!, you would not have to "slug your way through" The Baby Face Willette disc!

The US box included Brunswick/Vocalion masters belonging to Universal. They were removed for the European reissue.

Not enough! I'll have to ask for one for my birthday! By the way, Chuck. Whatever you are doing certainly is working considering your success in getting the Von Freeman played on Sirius XM and promoted in Amazon emails. But have you ever considered using Terri Hinte as your publicist? She's supposed to be the best. If I'm having all this success, why hire someone?

Have not had the problem.

Don't think I'll ever completely digest the Beethovens. No need for others for stimulation for decades.

Nessa records and cds are made in the USA. How many do you have?
