Chuck Nessa

Close, but no cigar! Close to what? You are too close to my cigar. Please step back.

You must be able to better.

Close, but no cigar!

Your definition means you bring lots of "baggage". Time to grow beyond and add new pleasures. Self limiting is a very negative thing.

This crap goes on all the time and at all levels of the biz. I remember one night (in the '80s) when a NY indie jazz label owner told me he'd just paid a couple of Chi djs. No reason to believe it has stopped.

Joe is a bright guy. Buy the disc.

That is mine. How 'bout you?

I agree. Right now listening to Roy Eldridge, disc 7: What a surprise. For the real payoff, go back to the first couple of discs.

Which system did you use to re-channel for stereo?

Just delete one - or two.

Rhymes with Payton.

All the best to Mr Lunch.

I like/love most of the painters mentioned. Lots of (hip) reasons to dislike Dali, but he had amazing technique and he could have used it in destructive ways - he didn't. That counts for a bunch in my book since so many 20th century "artists" did tons of damage with much less.

Fond memories of Ms Stevens from Met broadcasts (commercial am radio in the '50s) and tv variety shows. Amazing how all the tech gains of the last 50+ years have lowered the bar.

FWIW, The Hawk In Hi-Fi has a string section in the band for 8 of the original 12 tunes.

Freeman could be "great". Depends on the script. 90% of impersonation is attitude and I'm sure Mr Freeman understands the Ellington attitude.

Tex Book Tenor. Had it on lp years ago, Uncle SKid left his copy with me for a couple of weeks and it sounded better than I remembered.

Pushing Tin ain't too bad.

Just a bit too long to make it on 2 discs.

I want the complete Seeco recordings. The Leon Merian recordings are missed.

An apology.

Just weight and burns.

I was confused. I was even more confused when I played another copy of the record and discovered the "other version".
