Chuck Nessa

Do you know who died so you could buy this?

I remember fondly Josephson's last venture, The Cookery. Had many a dinner there, listening to fine music after a day's work. Then I'd move down the street, 'round the corner to Bradley's for serious drinking and more great music.

Please 'splain 'semi official'? AFAIK, my old friend Bob Cummins did everything by the book.

Maybe you should sign her up for your stable.

This might be it for the two of them.

I envy you.

Roscoe told me about this last week. For a couple of days I considered going. Sadly I decided I could not afford the trip. Dang. The last time I heard them together was at Edgefest with George Lewis. GregK and Skid were there but I regret they didn't hear the second show. Muhal took a contrary motion solo like I've only heard attempted by Tristano and it was friggin' miraculous. Muhal is a wonder and few understand his value.

Thx, Chuck! Do you know when it was recorded and what the Riverside catalog number was...and was it really all "Talk by Hawk"? No music? An interviewer? Coleman Hawkins - A Documentary Riverside RLP 12-117/118. It as all talk, edited to make it a monologue and issued in 1957. About 2 hours of material, IIRC.

It was a Riverside 2 lp set. No box. Don't think it was ever reissued.

I knew it!!!!

Four of the LaPorta tracks and one Levister are contained in the Debut Records Story box. Some good deals on this interesting set via Amazon.

I'd be interested in you guys playing "In My Living room" in Chinatown. I think it's a Hal McKusick tune.

Shouldn't be amazed he thought of "lop" first.

How can a doc cheat ham?

Not a bad "mainstream" fest program.

You must be talkin' 'bout some female.

Check out a bunch more. Nice archive.

I'd guess all was shot and only some was processed. Burn the stock and keep notes for developing. That would have been my take.

Ah, marketing If you really wanted it you'd have it unless you have "funds restrictions". If money is a problem, you don't need any of these.

Vendetta?? Isn't that a small Italian vehicle? I'm bored.

You so smart.
