Chuck Nessa

What an exciting thought - Miles was on the west coast. Geez! You've got the Pacific Ocean. Live with that and let music be music.

Saw the band on tour about 10 years ago and it was a good show. Nice, if nice does it for you.

What is ice 24? He must be pissing on an icicle.

Didn't buy anything today. Hope I don't buy anything in the morning. I'm a cd-aholic. Thankfully I have 14 discs in the pipeline.

Doc was a wonderful artist in a band. He was a "smart" Johnny Carson "band leader". That be it in my world. He did present a "smart" show on tour with the band.

Very close.

Piss on a post. Ambiguous advice error Dumb as a .........

Received an advance copy before release and was delighted. I admit it was largely because it was a new Ornette, but it took me a month to calm down. Ornette's sound is wonderful and that's what I focused on. Denny seemed to inspire OC, so it worked for me. When I listen now I can't erase the old impressions.

Well, it's only my initials... Nothing whatsoever to do with any real or imagined pigskin prognosticatory prowess. Are your really Tommy Dorsey?

Piss on a post.

Must have a "different" wife here. She's been hearing this stuff for 40+ years and adds comments when I play material like this. Sex, Interstellar Space and Spiritual Unity are not strangers.

Star Bright would be a great introduction to Dizzy Reece for anyone on the fence about the Mosaic set.

For me it was a "no brainer". The Jazz Messenger date helped form the next ten years of the music and is one of the "fathers" of the current obsession with the hard bop era.

It is an insult to Wagner. In some camps, pretty hard to do.

I wasn't really working. I was there to book studio time with Rudy.

Obviously a connoisseur of early Japanese transfers.

Have not thought of that in years. Never got it, never looked.

Ron McMaster.

Boy is that guy wrong.

Readership sank when 24 came on. Any other observations?

Jumping over JT's message, I agree with "acoustic". Going a step further, I think the same could be said for Elvin. Just imagine his career without the JC quarter.

Don't gotta be 70 to be dead. Some folks walking around fit that description.

Look (directed to Frankie), your early posts looked like "spam" to me. If you have no connection to the artist, I send my sincere apology. I have no interest in "killing the spirit" of any sincere artist. I was just bothered by the tone. If I am wrong, SORRY.

So, for you, youth and death are very different things.

Geez. Memories of "youth" seem to trump everything.
