Chuck Nessa

I knew him fairly well back in the day and he was always called "Phillip". Never heard anyone address him as Phil.

Can I scrub in?

Sorry to hear this. Many memories including his playing with Cecil, Jimmy and Andrew - a CT favorite quartet.

A 3CD box set called Wildflowers: The New York Loft Jazz Sessions - Complete was issued on the Knitting Factory label back in 2000. It featured full versions of some tracks that were edited for the original vinyl releases. As the owner of the original vinyl I'm intruiged that the KF issue included unedited tracks. Can anyone say which tracks these are? Nothing new. The editing is the same.

The Windhurst was reissued on lp by Jazzology. No cd to date.

for both

Gee, I thought you meant

Nice review.

Columbia's 30th St studio on Feb. 19, 1959, the day before the Back to Back/Side by Side sessions with Johnny Hodges and six days before the Queen's Suite.

I use a sharpie. My screen is a mess but i can't see it.

No one ever mentions the date he wrote for CSI:Dayton.

How did elbows and macaroni get together?

I already have the big Columbia box and ordered a couple to use as gifts. No rush.

I received a similar email but mine said November 7.

Whatever - All the best to you and thanks for your work.

Have it on cd and still think it's lame. I certainly didn't expect it to sound like regular Ellington (was looking for a new slant) and it sounded lame to me, like a grad student's attempt. FWIW, I am a fan of much of Fischer's work.

Allen, you keep forgetting this is not a depression thread.

It's ok, I saved a copy.

"perseveration" - what a wonderful word.

Ah, music as the soundtrack to your life.

We are all jerks. That's how we got here.

I bought the lp at the time it was released. I was "in love" with Diz at the time - I thought he and Rollins and Ellington were gods, but I never could connect with the date and I still can't. I have to think early Clare and Diz and Duke were a mis-match.
