Chuck Nessa

I can? Hey, it looks like I can! Damn, I'm sweet! At this point I'd like to mention in August Use3D posted a thread called "NEW FUN, look here. He was running a contest and I won. He said " your title is under your avatar, since you won you can pick any one you want, including the final level title if you like". I said I'd take my time. I now select "moderator".

this is what i was trying to get across to allen............... Geez, ya' had to go back two weeks to mine this quote. I do have to say drugs do affect some musicians more than others and you can tell the difference. I do also have to say I think Allen "way" over-reacted to the info he had at hand. FWIW, the Dexter in Radioland releases are very fine but poor $ per minute. First I suggest tracking down the 4 full(er) cds of Black Lion recordings from 1967 with Kenny Drew, NHOP and Albert Heath. They have better sound and can be found inexpensively on Amazon and Half.com. Dexter plays beautifully. The original (cd) titles are: Take The "A" Train Both Sides of Midnight Body and Soul Live! at the Jazzhus Montmartre

Jumpin' Blues is one of my favorites, pissed me off when i opened the booklet to find no liner notes, just a blank space............ That empty space reflects the original lp liners. My favorites of the SteepleChase releases are the Swiss Nights discs.

If not, numbers do.

Ghuck?

So a moderator can change a post without an "edit" notation?

Please excuse me if I decide your education is more than I can offer right now.

Nah!

I think ANY thread with "Nazi" of "Ex-Nazi" in the title is by definition a "political" topic.

I hate air conditioning and constant heat. Good for you.

seriously, Chuck, who else is there to blame? If someone puts out an amazing recording, (take the aforementioned Kurt Rosenwinkel for example) and it gets ignored because people would rather listen to an old disc, whose fault is that? Is it the fault of the artist for making music that he or she thinks is important? Nope. Is it the fault of the record company for putting it out? Nope, at least they had the balls to do so. That's sadly a mistake that they won't be repeating in this age of downsizing. And they might as well downsize labels and make the bulk of their market re-issues, after all, that's all anyone will ever buy. Is it the fault of the radio stations who need to cling to listener support to stay alive, especially now that the government is barely supporting public radio? Not at all. They need to play music that they know will keep businesses and yoga instructors tuned in. That leaves only the listener that thinks that jazz stopped in 1965 or so, you know, with the exception of Wynton Marsalis. That leaves the listener that only wants to hear standards instead of something that means something to an artist. That leaves the listener who thinks that a honking saxophone is distracting instead of blissful. That leaves the listener who thinks that no record collection is complete without Kind of Blue, but only listens to it twice a year. And when the guy who convinced Bob Koester to unleash Anthony Braxton on us decides that new music isn't worth listening to, well, then God help us all... TONS of misreading of history, aesthetics and facts above. I don't even know where to begin so I won't. I suggest you "write me off" and ignore anything I write in the future.

He also has the advantage of being one of the 10 people left from the 60s. Matt And the other 9 are................................. Edit to ask what others in the '60s you witnessed.

Because of their reputations I purchased "Dharma Days". Sorry.

Nice list.

Hope the day didn't disappoint. Happy, happy!

I hope "the cat" and Mr. Mooster are together, tipping a few.

Paul blames the audience. Way to go Paulie.

So, this is really Art Smith?

I don't want you.

A list of the "great" post '70s recordings would be appreciated.

To contain all those musical ideas? -_-

Incomplete research.

Time for more research, you "historian".

Allen, what you say is fine for completest freaks, historians and other "nut cases". I say that with great affection for completest freaks, etc, but for listening pleasure it's a hard sell for folks without 25 Dolphy cds. Also, FWIW this is not the equivalent of Bird in '40-42. Earlier Dolphy in decent sound is out there.

Meant "pretty straight". On his return NY and $$$$$ changed things.
