Chuck Nessa

Let's all go to the lobby.

He's scheduled to be here in Buffalo on March 2 with my old friend Thurman Barker on drums.

Nice Herbie Nichols blues solo in the last piece.

Correct.

Do you really find that satisfying?

Saw it once in a 2fer. Had the lp and ordered a cd today here - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BTYG9S3?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

More Ellington transcriptions -

This 2 disc set covers 1947-1957. A highlight is the Metronome All-Stars date with Roy Eldridge, Kai Winding, John LaPorta, Warne Marsh, Lester Young, Terry Gibbs, Teddy Wilson, Billy Bauer, Eddie Safranski and Max Roach.

For sentimental reasons, the one I was involved in. The rest is burned in my memories.

Nice.

Continuing to dig out memories -

Looking forward.

Haven't listened to this in ages.

The "All American" half of this with Budd Johnson and Eddie Costa after playing the Ellington record.

For anyone wondering about my use of "Hans Gruber", the first batch of airline "offers" was posted by someone using the name "Alan Rickman".
