Chuck Nessa

Welcome back! Sadly no answers to your query.

Thanks for the nice gift on your birthday.

Print through can be (almost completely) eliminated by working from the original multi-tracks. It is tedious and time consuming but rewarding. I have many hours experience doing this.

'Taxi War Dance,' 'Easy Does It,' 'Lester Leaps In,' 'Dickie's Dream,' all the Smith-Jones Inc. tracks (especially the quintet 'Lady Be Good,' Young's perfect solo) and probably some others I'm forgetting are utterly crucial, and they are all 1939-40 Columbia Basie-Prez works. More than the Deccas, these Young solos were a turning point for the jazz saxophone. Endlessly subtle and graceful. Chuck, I'm surprised - what makes you think the Deccas are more important? First, I apologize for my rude outburst. Sorry. Now on to the Deccas which have a "loosie-goosie" feel that fits Lester to a tee. The charted discipline of the Columbias suited him for a while but ultimately led to his feeling "hemmed in" and his exit. This is not necessarily fact, just my interpretation of what I hear. The Smith-Jones titles (including 'Lady, Be Good') pre-date the Deccas and amplify my point. 'Taxi War Dance" comes from the first Columbia session (six weeks after the last Decca) and 'Dickie's Dream' and 'Lester Leaps In' were small group recordings (not the 'band'). I love the Columbias but the Decca recordings were something else.

Taxi War Dance is required. Otherwise f***k off. The Deccas, as a group, are more important but the Columbias are great!!!

Ever heard of Larry Rivers? Roscoe did the cover of one AEC ECM release and Muhal has paintings on his covers for decades. Braxton's compositions lead us beyond.....

If you can't mess your kids up on your own, there is a bunch of help available.

Ann and I will be watching a Netflix feed tonight on my iMac. Better picture than our tv.

I agree about Curtain Call.

I'm reasonably sure the number 9 is the highest they will show. They probably have a bunch more.

:lol: I can do this 'cause I had a King lp and now a Japanese cd. Sorry if this offends. Nice date anyway. Not worth more than $25 in my book.

Have not tried it but have used the sister product:

I was there every night of the engagement (3?). The final night I shared a table with Joseph Jarman. This wonderful gig was recorded and I explored the possibility of a record but Randy was unhappy with the piano. One set was broadcast on NPR.

Figures.

Something like that.

Curious if I receive any mention in the credits.

What a waste of a good sound system ! Great for testing the limits of noise reduction! You talkin' 'bout noise canceling headphones?

You should be using the Organissimo link to Amazon.

Bought the record around 1961. Love Randy, Griff, Melba and the rest but never could really "connect" with the record. Glad you did.

Amina Claudine Myers. Kickin' ass since the '60s.

Not "for ages" - only a couple of years at best. Rarely used it.

Can't believe anyone equates PJJ with AT. No dis to AT, BUT.......
