Chuck Nessa

I have both cds and they would find a place in the 2nd hundred of Konitz recordings for me. They are ok but not inspired. An inspired Lee is something else.

Thanks. Your props mean a bunch.

Nah.

Ruth is also the model for Quebec's Soul Samba and is the mc on the Byrd at the Half Note recordings.

Peggy Moffitt, Claxton's wife, modeled for some BN/Reid Miles covers. Unusual connection.

Hope you mean 1750 Arch lps, not 150 lps on some other label.

Hope you don't mind my jumping in here.... ...radio, in my estimation, ain't what it used to be as far as direct sales go. Probably more of a resume builder than anything else. At least that is what I've seen for both Root Doctor AND organissimo. Trickle sales really. Most of our stuff sells to our extant fan base and/or at shows. Mitchell Feldman is the guy you really want to talk to about this however. I believe you can service about 250 stations to get adequate radio consideration. I also believe he has many more available for spin consideration. On the flip side, I've heard that for established jazz artists, hitting number one on Jazz Week shows some reflection in sales. I have to wonder if Number one on CMJ just means a boatload of additional internet piracy and scammed downloads. Anyhow, hope that helps. Maybe Mitchell is lurking and is willin' to jump in... I know all this. I just want to point out what you are paying for. Some times a "check point" is good. Been there about as long as you been alive.

that lp seemed to be everywhere at the time. probably the "stereo" thing. Never heard it myself. Could be one of Roy DuNann's best moments.

Considering my impression of your listening habits, I would say "skip it".

Bought the lps as they were issued. Very sharp playing in the "modern mode". If the markets improve, I might buy this as a "nostalgia purchase".

Thanks for clearing that up.

$2.92 here right now.

Sorry to hear this. I had a few dealings with him for Uptown (when I did that) for shots for the Chet Baker and Sonny Clark issues. He seemed to be a fine human and great photographer.

In 1966 when I moved to Chicago and worked for the Jazz Record Mart, the RCA catalog listed a bunch of Mexican music available on 78s. They must have had these presses running somewhere.

So, who are they?

How many promos were sent to achieve this? Report back how this is reflected in sales. Serious deal.

Looks like K with Joe Sullivan and Harry James.

Drive north for a few hours. :-)

Hnk mentioned Eddie South. He was a master and I suggest checking out the '30s material.

Just for the record; the two cds on New World are masterpieces of Taylor group performances.

3.

Wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting.

You need about 800% more green beans.

Might go to buy back all the promos I sent him.

Grand Slam! Isn't that a breakfast?
