Chuck Nessa

Who's playing trumpet?

Probably 2000 recordings you need first.

Think I caught "Bjork" while camping in the Northwoods. I hope these meds cure me.

Damn Straight!!! Unfortunately, that bastard CT also stole my bike when I was twelve, and then killed my grandma with her own cane! Never knew she was impaired.

Just finished a glass of milk with my dinner.

I expected a shot of him pissing on a calendar.

Losing him and Vonnegut in a short span is a real blow to me and maybe to an entire generation of readers.

Curious if they serve Maxwell House or Folgers.

Every time I hear about the Andorrans I think of this guy... Do you have proof this is the guy? I have gunmen looking for him!

Waiting on both Braxton "Standards" boxes. Got both for a total under $100.

Boy are you going to be disappointed.

It could also mean it "timed out". I find it difficult to believe they sold all of 'em.

I can't remember exactly, but I think RVG worked out a weekly routine by which Prestige, Savoy and Blue Note used different days to record at his studio. If someone has the patience it shouldn't be too difficult to work out a RVG discography for, say, the mid-to-late 50s and see what his weeks were like. A hard job but someone had to do it, I guess F I've been in touch with someone writing a book about RVG's studios. It will include a complete listing by date of sessions. I understand Rudy let him copy the studio log books. Edit for stupid typo.

Now that we have him "cornered"........................................

FWIW, I think Esquerita and Esquivel had the same optometrist. Maybe the same hairdresser.

Ah yes, Esquivel aka SQ Evil.

Esquerita, aka SQ Rita, aka S. Q. Reeder, aka the Magnificent Malucchi. Quite a character.

Five titles from that lp were included on

Welcome back Vibes.

I think we all have a "Dookie Box" and once you have one, you don't need another.

Sorry to say nothing after the initial Columbia lp caught my attention. Not saying this is "right", just my impression "in real time".

For me he is defined by Alone With the Blues on Prestige/OJC. I think he becomes sort of "faceless" in groups with horns but must mention the 2 Gillespie dates with Stitt and Rollins. Obviously a very fine musician.

Lookin' sweet... The myspace site would look nice with some nice graphics.. Something Like This? For some reason, that wallpaper reminds me of this picture where you have to find the face I just had chills!

Are we talking about the 1971 Belgrade concert? I have refused to buy any of the boots but recently downloaded a "freebie" and the sound is better than expected, better than some legal issues - AND THE BAND IS ON FIRE!

Sadly, much of his work has been "undone".
