Chuck Nessa

I was ready to say Elvis.

Hey Ak, just want to give my 2 cents. I first heard Cecil "live" with Lyons. Grimes and Murray around '64. I've heard Cecil many times since and produced a concert with him once (also a failed recording project - not Cecil's fault). In a personal way I consider him a friend though I have not talked to him in 20 years. The band on "Salty Swift" is my favorite of his groups (with the exception of the Lyons, Sirone, Cyrille quartet). The New Worlds are amazing and the MPS disc if fine too. Just relax and let the music take you. Or not.

I just read the first couple of sentences and stopped. I don't need to know right now. Just pull her nails out with a pliers and check back for more instructions.

At the end of the move, steal 3 or 4 furniture pads from the movers and nail them at the top of the doorway.

I suggest you package them individually in mailers from Uline. They will be well protected.

Helen was a strange one. Northwestern Univ. hosted a "women in jazz" symposium around 1980. Don DeMichael and I ran into Helen Keane and Toshiko in a record store in Evanston. Don introduced me to them as a producer and mentioned my Warne Marsh date. Both of the women responded that they each had produced a date recently with Warne - Helen did one with Bill Evans and Konitz and Toshiko a 2 tenor date with Lou Tabackin. We exchanged stories, chatted pleasantly (I was delighted to meet them) and I left to return to work. Don told me after I left Helen said "Did you see that? Every time I meet a male producer he acts like that. They don't think we're worth shit and I'm sick of it". Toshiko said she thought I was "delightful".

Not the first time I failed.

Did I mention "free enterprise"?

My question still stands.

I have two. What would you like to know? Manufacturing technologies and real costs.

Haven't found a free download of that one.

First time I've seen these grouped.

The "per disc" price comes out to $6.6666666666666666. Are you really sure you want to tempt the fates?

I have some questions about the Prius technology and what it saves vs what it consumes.

Paul listens to this record every minute. I'm listening to Joe Turner "Stride By Stride" on 77.

Many happy hoots in the future.

And you believe in the "market economy" because......................

Gee, I was afraid David was being blamed for something bad.

Note to Kevin: If you'd paid attention, Blackburn is on the Carmell Jones "Select". He's also on the Gerald Wilson set (as is Freddie Hill).

or a Tackish Hurker.

Since they are "lurking" at this time, I choose to ignore .:.impossible, Epithet, Guy, kenny weir, TroyK.

Don't have a clue, but would guess you don't know Freddie Hill either.

Nice bunch.

Yes.

Don is a saxophonist who wrote the first positive reviews of Shepp, Dixon. etc in DownBeat in the early '60s. He continued there for a few years. An AllMusic search should turn up something. I certainly understand loosing patience with the ICP folks. I don't think he's the kind of listener to be "predisposed to not liking" anything.
