Chuck Nessa

I'd love to see a battle with Von Freeman in Chicago.

Wish my dad was alive so I could tell him the big bands are coming back.

Not a 'dis' but there is nothing there I'd buy.

They work best when you outline the lenses with a green sharpie.

Drove by the building that housed the Brunswick pressing plant a couple of days ago. It still stands in Muskegon, MI.

Boy am I glad I dropped out of this thread. Otherwise, I might be dead by now.

They had really long liner notes. Many times the writers took time to dis more current music.

Bringing this up to thank Mark again. Today I framed the two I received and they are wonderful.

Still not enough material for a Select.

I remember seeing him at the Jazz Showcase in the '70s. A notorious lp collector came with a huge stack of records for Joe to autograph. Joe was going through the stack and found a couple by the pianist Joe Turner and gave the dude "the eye". I saw the same guy greet Mingus with a stack of about 50 lps and around half way through, Mingus looked up and said "So, you can't say I'm not a nice guy"! Laughs all around.

Check the weights and time on the USPS and UPS sights.

Yup.

Glad you made it thru another year. Just stop the political crap.

Great.

Thanks for the news.

Big mistake.

Ira has repeatedly told me it is his favorite record. I have the 10 master tapes (2 inch, 24 tracks) in my basement. Maybe this year.

What else you gonna do with the bucks. That's what I tell Ann.

Confusion between "reissue producers" and the label's packaging. Not a clear path.

The best of all possible worlds is a clear vinyl pressing with a green magic marker ring on the edge.

5 guys gave her head.

The set is the size of a coffee table book and includes 125 pages of printed pictures and text as well as the cds. It weighs about 3 lbs.

Gotta be ECM.

Hagnes recorded for BN with Bud - '49, Blakey - '58, Jackie - '63, Andrew - ' 63 (twice), Jackie - '64. If you don't get "Hagnes" contact me.

Correct.
