Chuck Nessa

Just called them and gave them some crap.

Put it away Ray.

Is there a comprehensive list of stuff Chuck is selling? Dare I ask? If you email me at nessarecords@charter.net I will send info.

If only.

I see it is a "cut corner" promo and has some fading. If the guy had contacted me, I could have supplied a fresh cover. Probably have a few hundred around. Which reminds me - when we do reissues of lps the covers are usually recreated from scratch, not scans of old lp jackets. In this case a new scan of the cover photo, a new scan of the "burnt paper" background and scans of the original type from the original artboards. Not important to most but the best way.

I would too.

I gave up a while back and they refunded my money.

In the works.

Not that simple. The family went through some "changes" including spelling. Don't remember the details.

$15 each postpaid in North America. Reduced postage for shipping elsewhere - $3 for one, $5 for two.

Your avatar seems to be looking at his dick. Same should be happening in 50 years. Dancing with it out just looks silly.

I think Dan nailed most of it.

Thanks and welcome.

Old farts rule.

So Chewy is a reward for reading my crap?

Be sure to get a color set. Last time I bought one, this was a revelation.

Don't blame Ken. He be OK! Stick around. We are all OK.

Around the end of the month I will have 2 new releases. The official release date (Amazon and others) is in February. First is Charles Tyler’s Saga of the Outlaws. Members of the ensemble are Earl Cross on trumpet, Ronnie Boykins & John Ore on bass and Steve Reid on drums. This cd is only 37 minutes long but I ultimately decided adding material might distract from (what I consider) his masterpiece. I earlier tried to buy/license another title and talks broke down. We betta’ off as Lenny Bruce used to say. To compensate consumers I included some previously unpublished color pics in the 12 page booklet. If it wasn’t “one of mine”, it would still be my favorite Tyler recording. YMMV. Second is a new remastering (24 bit) of Wadada Leo Smith’s Procession of the Great Ancestry. This is the first “nessa” issue since the earlier cd was by my English licensee, Chief. The players include Bobby Naughton on vibes, Joe Fonda on bass, Kahil El Zabar on percussion with bluesman Louis Myers, bass player Mchaka Uba and tenorist John Powell added on a couple of pieces. By my listening standards if you have a Chief copy don’t replace it unless you have a great ear for upper overtones. I felt it was worth doing but it is a small upgrade. Contact me if interested and forgive the intrusion. Emails can be sent to nessarecords@charter.net .

Wanna correct yo' quick typing Mark?

Yup.

From one old fart to another, may you have many more productive years and a quick end.

Yellow was earlier.

Hardly. It is from this year's Chicago Jazz Fest. Pic by John Litweiler - I cropped out Kevin Whitehead.

Just an odd side note to say Ann's uncle Lester was prison chaplain at Walla Walla and knew Little Willie John well.
