Chuck Nessa

All Chicago jazz fans do. On top of everything, he was a very nice man.

Reported by Neil Tesser here.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to repeat that program with commentary.

Still there from Newbury Comics.

Whatever. I bought this on lp in theb early '60s and bought the cd reissue. Should be around for minor bucks. I see it's on Amazon for $1.99. Jump Chillen!

I need a new excuse to drink at Founders.

On a slightly bigger scale, the AMG review of a recent release (of mine) was written based on the liner notes and the writer reviews a performance not included in the cd.

An honest musician.

I'll be interested to compare the duo session with the cassette of the date I was sent years ago.

Very fine piece. Thanks.

Harvey first contacted me about Von Freeman (he was a big fan and did an interesting piece in Jazz Times). My favorite phone call from him was to ask if it was ok to give my phone number to Leon Leavitt, who'd asked for it. Leavitt had been the major source for out of print jazz lps for years. Harvey explained Leon had been dumping his personal collection on ebay and now wanted to buy cds. After I said it was ok to pass on the phone number, Harvey said "He's got plenty of money. Don't give him no deals. He will pay top dollar". The next day I received a call and sold one of everything I had. Thanks Harvey. After the movie and the illness he was more difficult to reach. Sorry to say I didn't have contact in the last couple of years. You can read his VF piece here.

Black Macaroni.

Thanks.

I'm on a Mac too.

Fine here with Firefox 3.6.3.

Time for an intervention?

I had the yellow/red one and another with a David Stone Martin drawing (trio w/Nat).

This was a reissue based on a 6 lp set issued in 1983 titled "1947-1952 Recorded Works In Chronological Order". I still have that box.

"Hot Water Soup" scene on an old Green Acres episode. Eb was killin'.

Always fun to slip that one on the changer.

I'd have pissed on the floor. Then someone would have paid attention.

I was just saying the work could be done relatively easily without all the "hoo-haw". Been there, done that without any press releases.

Don't know why it wasn't done before. It would be the producer's job to listen and correct.

Seems to be a bunch of mumbo jumbo for a simple fix. All to sell expensive new transfers.

He's leaning on the cross. Where else? It is the focal point of the pic.
