Chuck Nessa

Mr Ned Goold seems to have run away without defending his position. Come back and defend your life.

Gimme a break.

Do you consider this "growth"? Or is it a passing "phase"? How exactly do you relate to music?

I alway thought Harold looked (spookily) like Richard Nixon at the piano.

Hopefully an interesting side note: This was in the first Liberty distributed release from BN. Still BN pressings and covers. I remember the salesman visiting the JRM and giving me a promo. Can't be too many "real" BN copies out there.

He seemed to be a good guy and better player. I hear he had ballooned to almost 400 lbs. Not a good thing. Sorrow all around.

So, is this considered a group "reunion"?

Absolutely! And be well my friend. I've missed you here.

I was told she's a "wizard".

Carol Emanuel with her sisters Ruth and Irene all played harp on Wadada Leo Smith's piece "The Burning of Stones". Muted trumpet and 3 harps! We recorded this at RVG's on May 21, 1979. FWIW, Betty Glamman (or Glamann) plays on Ellington's "A Drum Is A Woman" too.

Like the band, have not heard the disc but this is a frequent problem when musicians have control of the "package". A fair number of good artists have sunk themselves 'cause they had "control".

Geez, I forgot to say 100 years. Let me consult Berg, Webern, Carter, Boulez, Cage, Stockhausen, etc. Or maybe more "on point" I should check with (late) Gorecki.

You don't have any idea how hard it is to be "35 years behind the times" and "50 years behind the times" at the same friggin' time. It leads to discomboblulation.

Somebody's on a mission.

Come on, I'm holdin'.

some discussion HERE.

Could it have been Allana Lowe?

Mingus and a woman were dining at the next table in Bradley's one night when I was there. I think Randy Weston was playing. This would be '73/74.

I do wish we had a bunch of folks here to compare the late solo recordings. For example, while I admire the Hines/Ellington stuff "pianistically" but don't think much of the material challenges the best qualities of Hines (not the fault of either, just a happenstance). I much prefer his Arlen, Gershwin, Carmichael, Armstrong, Dallwitz and Hines. I'd love to jump into something like that.

Sorry Lon, I was looking for some stimulating discussion about Earl Hines as a soloist. Didn't mean to bump your cage.

My copy arrived in a 2 lp gatefold - not a sepia single pocket. The cover is not the same as the Fantasy issue but the pic is similar.

I think Smucker's is the sponsor.

I always check out threads Chuck Nessa has entered.
