Chuck Nessa

Don't look "rocked" to me.

because his reel - to - reel broke? Reel-to-reels are still used by audiophiles and record labels. 8 tracks are the province of a few guys with old trucks.

I have also admired this date since my first vinyl copy back when the covers were real cardboard, but my only compaint is that at 37 minutes there should be more music! Notes per pound/dollar? I have a problem with this unless you are paying "primo" prices for the music. If you get pleasure, what is the limit?

No time for other arguments with details of esp1's post beyond saying if you admire Threadgill, you need the About Times before the BMG stuff. Brown's Calig recordings should be heard before the Impulse stuff too. It is a shame "availability" writes "history".

You should be able to steal these performances anywhere.

Is this a kinder, gentler Chuck we're seeing? Nah!

Please show us your socks.

Is it rude for me to ask why you are buying 8 tracks?

If I had 3 feet my wife and a couple other women would be dead.

You and a couple of people "comped" would hear the music.

I saw them in their "prime". Would love to see it again.

Ra fits around, not in.

August 10, 1958, says Mr Bruyninckx.

Evidently, yup. You need Message to our Ancestors. That be the Big Black/Black Harold LP. Ah yes, the home of Strawberry Alarm Clock.

You have about 10 more than I but about half are different.

Break two legs. This message is really from Berigan.

Sorry I caused problems. Does your internet provider offer protection? I'm pleased with the stuff I get from Charter.

Not in 1965.

Looks like Ann and I might catch Von (and Peter) at Andy's on Saturday. FWIW, Andy's and the JRM are about a block apart.

The Shostakovich pairs of violin, cello and piano concertos are fine. Three piano concertos by Bartok are favorites too.

Quick recommendation for the 2 Brahms piano concerti by Fleischer/Szell (or a bunch of others) and a BMG disc of violin concertos played by Heifitz with Fritz Reiner of the Brahms and Tchaikovsky pieces.

I seem to have confused a few people (based on PMs, etc). I love this recording and can probably hum most of the solos. I do think Eric abandoned very interesting compositional/group performances by moving to Europe where he had to work with "locals". Not a problem with "locals" but this was a step back for his musical development.

Laurie chose Art's pianists??? Near the end of Art's life I had a long conversation with Art and Laurie about pianists. Kellaway was with the band and they seemed "startled" by my suggestion of Stanley Cowell as my choice. Laurie quickly told me more recordings with Cowell would follow.

Have you tried "system restore" to get the new machine back?

What did he say? I don't remember. However, that would have been one hell of an interesting combo. Even more interesting would have been a trio w/Randy, Thelonious and Elvin. Chuck producing the record, of course. Guy I did see a trio live, at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago, of Randy Weston, Richard Davis and Don Moye. This was in May, 1978. Don Moye has never played so intensely, in my experience. I was there all 3 nights. On the first night Joseph Jarman was there and he jabbed me in the ribs about Don's playing. I did try to make a recording but Randy had to leave town. I then called Cuscuna and he tried to get the tapes NPR made for broadcast one night. Randy objected to the piano and the deal went nowhere. This was an amazing gig.
