Chuck Nessa

Here it is: previous mention

oh I did a search but found nothing... Red might remember where it is/was.

This was mentioned a couple of weeks ago in another thread. Nothing detailed though.

I like the BN Thad sessions AND Compulsion might be my favorite Hill session. The Hill "fades" sound right to me.

NICE! Thanks.

I agree with most of the above. Something not mentioned (unless I spaced on it) was the end of "clear channel" station designations. They cut up the bandwidth and things went downhill. I have two of the GE "super radios" and treasure them. Tubes were only a small part of the equation.

Spent a long day (and night) in a tv studio with him. Mid-evening he was ready to kill John Hammond (subject of the show). "What the FUCK is this shit!" That's a direct quote. He played like a dream. The next night he played a club date with Benny Carter that was sublime. Larry might have been there - I don't remember. My old friend Wilbur Campbell used to do a high-hat thing in tribute to Jo.

The cover is reproduced (in miniature) in the booklet of the Verve 2-fer called "Swing Trumpet Kings". Don't know another source at the moment. I think it would have been fun to hear Red playing with Monk.

are they on the web? Great session with Dicky Wells and Chu Berry. I have it on

Hello Mr Executive Producer Participant.

Don't miss the Luis Russell, Henderson (Fletcher and Horace) or Mills Blue Rhythm sides. Mr Allen is one of my "desert island" artists. I forgot to mention his contributions to the Spike Hughes "american" sessions.

He's had xxix years actually. Not wishing to be picky. (mmvii-mcmlxxviii=xxix) Picky.

It was issued in 1978, so you've had xxx years and Roscoe worked endless hours and I spent around $40,000 (1970s $) and you haven't had the time...................... No wonder I'm underfinanced.

Sportex.

Ann used many rolls of film on that date and one of the Columbia engineers (I think union rules required 4 men for this studio) tried calling his wife to bring in his video camera. Sadly he didn't reach her. It was an amazing project. We managed one session shot for the lp jacket but I didn't think (at the time) it would work in the small cd format. My mistake. This whole project took a year to complete and I hope some day the details are recorded somewhere.

Never had that happen. Must be you. If you don't find a fix, I suggest playing the file before burning to check it out. Sounds like a pain but it will save discs and wasted burn time. I think your machine is paying you back for all the Dennis DeYoung crap you feed it.

No mention of Rick Ballard's Groove Yard!

No radio today. I spent a large portion of the day loading the Nano with tunes for a long road trip beginning in the morning.

Ah, nostalgia. When will the big bands come back?

Nostalgia, that's the ticket.

I've had about 20 recordings of it. Now I have performances conducted by the composer, Boulez (Columbia), Monteux, Horenstein and Fricsay. This piece should "disturb" you. All of these do in different ways. It can be an interesting journey. I have been exploring for 45 years.

Correct.

Can't wait for the McCartney/Basie disc.
