Chuck Nessa

Both worthwhile but finding a sufficient audience would be a challenge.

Sorry, thought this was a typing exercise.

Once again, I'd kill for an expanded edition of Columbia/Sony's "The Okeh Ellington" to include the Pathe/Cameo/Romeo sides. Forget about the Victor sides, they've been done and no reason to include them just because "corporate" has access to them..

Back in the day I set up and ran the US SteepleChase office. Whenever Nils was in town he'd use my office phone to call musicians and "estates". I remember negotiating with Brew Moore's daughter, Don Redman's daughter, Kid Ory's daugnter and some others. I have no insight to the families decisions, except they were all happy someone cared. I don't think any issues resulted from the Ory call.

I haven't seen him in town, though I have seen Marshall Allen, Peter Brotzmann and a bunch of others.

Caught that band in Madison, Wisconsin.

Reminding myself that Sam Rivers recorded with Tadd Dameron.

My favorite "post Billie" vocal record.

Back from Europe just in time.

Edward Wilkerson, Steve Hunt & Jim Baker.

I caught the band between the 2 sessions at the Plugged Nickel in the Fall of '68. The rhythm section was Corea, Holland & Williams and Chick looked scared all night.
