Chuck Nessa

A fun, florid set.

A bit of nostalgia this morning - I attended this session at RVG's on April 26, 1978. I used the opportunity to ask Rudy about the possibility of recording a couple of Roscoe Mitchell sessions there. He declined The Maze (too complex), but was intrigued by the sonic possibilities of L-R-G. He reached for his appointment book and said "when would you like to do it". We recorded it on August 7. Rudy suggested Columbia's 30th St. studio for The Maze and I followed his advice.

No clue in the nessa household.

Our first collaboration - 59 years ago.

Discs 1 & 2 this afternoon.

Yep.

Good one.

These Scherzos are magical.

Material from shortly after getting this set I made 4 CDRs of the master takes from 1927-1934.

Somehow I'd missed this one, and it arrived today

Spending some time with this fascinating 3 disc document.

Forgot I had this.

Ornette, Dewey, Haden and Blackwell. I like it enough to have the original vinyl and the cd.
