Chuck Nessa

Hal was a wonderful musician. I first heard of him on the Joe Daley record and caught the trio live in 1965. I next encountered him in a John Klemmer group around 1967. Get this personel - Klemmer on tenor, Bebop Sam Thomas on guitar, Malachi Favors on bass and Hal on drums! I think this band existed for only one gig, two or three nights at the most. When he attended university they did not have a percussion department so he got his degree in trumpet. He made his living playing drums in a dinner theater pit band. Hal assembled some wonderful bands and wanted to be a star. He thought our first record would do this and never forgave me when stardom failed to materialize. I miss the old fart.

Form personal experience, he's a very nice guy and a sincere artist. Just not my cup of tea.

George was a black man and his beautiful partner was named Ekecta Twine. Real names as far as I know.

It all depends on the current profit and the "expected" profit. The buyers may consider themselves smarter.

The above scheduled for release on Blue Note BST84316 but never issued.

IIRC, there was a tune (maybe Utter Chaos) on a sampler not issued elsewhere and they missed it.

What happened to it on the way to Arista? Never heard it but remember I said ok.

I am a Cowell fan. I have a Japanese cd of his solo Strata East disc. He had a really nice Galaxie trio lp and sounded very fine on his recordings with Art Pepper for that label. I do know (and have) the earlier stuff which is why I paid attention to him after that. I met him in the mid '70s and he was a very nice, bright guy. Sorry to say I have not followed his later career. FWIW, the original Freedom lp of Brilliant Circles sounded ok.

Is this the 4th or 5th thread about this? I can't remember, I been drinkin'.

I once did an ad hoc gig under the name of Johnny Large and The Johnsons. John Large is a drummer from the west side of Michigan and it is his real name. The rest of us however, weren't really Johnsons. Well maybe we were... When I was a student at Iowa I had a poet friend named George Lonesome. He loved it when his name was called alphabetically as Lonesome, George.

Since Jim "closed" the other thread, let me say this shit really bothers me.
