Chuck Nessa

This one?

Yes, but the color is wrong. The background is cream/white and the rest of the colors brighter as a result.

The two Prestige dates with Walter Davis Jr, the two Muse dates (32 Jazz for you late arrivals) and the Xanadu would be my first choices (in spite of Nate's reviews on Amazon).

Knew I could count on you.

You must be the merchant and I the musician.

Boy is this stuff out of control. or what?!!!!

The classical staff sould be canned too.

Almost a tie.

It was issued as African Cookbook on Atlantic. The Atlantic lp was reissued on Koch.

Can you state this a little less obliquely so I understand what you are saying? That's about as direct as I can be.

Probably 95% of the folks playing "jazz" today are people who "tried on a suit" and said "hey, this looks good on me". It was different at one time.

Don't have anything against the recommended set other than it is a bit tame for my taste. I would probably prefer their earlier recordings by a small margin. I don't currently have a "set" but do have fond memories of Stern/Rose/Istomin from the '70s on Columbia. Not sure if the set is available. edit for stupid typo

Boy, that's near the top of my list too!

So, he's used up all the slots and no memory can be added? Time for a new machine.

OK - concentrated Sonny Dallas then ! HELLO!!!! Sonny Dallas is the bassist. The wonderful Nick Stabulas is the drummer on the rest of the set.

It's only been 50 years folks.

Two inch tape don't care if it's 24 track or 16. It is the recorder heads that matter unless you are talking about a one inch Fostex machine or something like that.

So that's what you've been saying all this time. I says something different. Lots of missing "t"s in the world. Are they all my fault?

So you should have moved earlier and then maybe the real set would be still in print and you wouldn't have to buy from scavengers. The real problem is people with the money "hold back" for a deal. Now reward someone else.

there is nothing to get. just a bunch of musicians making noise. Thanks for the insight. Notice I did not use the word "intellectual" before the word "insight" ( if that's what you really meant).

Here comes the turd in the punch bowl. I always saw him as a "decent, educated player" but never really felt him as a "natural" player. His blues (a claim to fame for some fans) seems "studied" in a way similar to Oscar Peterson. He is a wonderful guy personally, but that's what I think about his music.

Nothing tonight. Just me and the wife of 44 years. Now, THAT is MUSIC!

Whatever! Still imitation dollars.
