Chuck Nessa

Not sure of the best available version but the Sun recordings are dandy.

Correct.

Thanks. Hard for me to put together a chronology - I started listening to Miles and Tristano in the late '50s / early '60s.

Though a huge Tristano defender, I don't think Richard Tabnik would be a credible witness in this case.

A Ghetto Lullaby is my favorite SteepleChase, followed by the duo with Carvin. The stuff with Dexter is dandy too.

Take a really good antiperspirant.

G'bye Bobby.

Threadgill box of his Black Saint stuff. Henry is a wonderful musician and has created his own musical world. I know this has been said before but DAMN!

All the SteepleChase recordings are worth investigating for J Mac fans.

Get 'em.

yup. this thread sent me on to 8 hours of Henry today.

Thanks Bill!

I have been informed there is indeed a legal problem and someone is working to get it cleared up, so there is hope.

Sony/BMG.

Indeed.

Much better than other network shows.

No contract problems - just corporate indifference.

When my Art Ensemble box was issued in 1993 I bought an ad in DB and a feature review ran in the mag. At that point it was mail order only and I complained to the reviewer about not including my address. He said it was deleted by an editor - maybe they didn't know I had and ad. Since then, I have not had a single review in the magazine, unless I missed them.

When asked a question, our (then) 4 year old daughter said "I can't know that". 30 years later we still use that.

He seems to have found a friend.

Almost all of the above.

According to this page, 'Books LLC' is a company which is publishing Wikipedia articles in book form... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100606233435AAQ1Fds I'd rather read the Organissimo forums in book form! Thanks. I was wondering about the Nessa Records book.

I want some of that shit.

Yes, "calcification" set in later in his life but at one time he made a point to me of his championing of OC. He did a bunch of good. I did not know about the Globe Unity situation - I was enjoying the performance and later drinking with the band.

He was proud of introducing Ornette to the Chicago radio audience, but his heart was with the swingers.
