Chuck Nessa

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.

Granz booked some European tours for Coltrane - documented on Pablo.

No, it is bassist Kent Kessler..

Roscoe Mitchell gave me this record back in the '70s.

Available on Delmark with 5 bonus tracks.

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.

From the massive Mitropoulos box - Greek conductor, Russian composer, Minnesota orchestra - what could go wrong?

Only played about half of the discs but no problems here.

While I enjoyed lavish/fancy/complicated packages in the early days of cds, I am now irritated it is a pain in the ass to play the Ray Charles Atlantic sessions, Charlie Christian Columbias, Billie Holiday Deccas, Art Pepper Vanguard session, Lu Watters Yerba Buena Jazz Band, etc.

I enjoy the Feldman set as well. Now listening to an old friend.
