Chuck Nessa

Do you know the early version of the band with Muhal, Paul Serrano & Nicky Hill?

Great news Dan.

On deck for tomorrow:

My friend Eddie Johnson held down a tenor chair in Cootie's band - he's on the Capitol sides. Mid '47 he left to join Louis Jordan's outfit.

Disc 4 - Berlin

Intersection of Wells & Van Buren - the cop said no camera.

Now some Brahms

Disc one - Mozart 40, Haydn 94 & Schubert 8.

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving we rode downtown (Chicago) to deliver a computer monitor to Carla's workplace and had an auto accident. Some Bozo blew a stoplight and hit the rear wheel of our car. He split the scene. $3000 damage to the suspension system. Only 3100 miles on the car - we got it in April. Because of supply problems, we might not get the car back until 2023.

I first heard Lester Young on AM radio from Des Moines - either WHO or KIOA. This would be late '50s/early '60s.

Good one. Caught him a few times in Old Town, Chicago.He had Phil Porter on organ - only time I had seen that name was on a Howard McGhee record from 1962.

The cd contains 2 alternates. Dorham's first name is McKinley.

You used to be able to find this info at the Harry Fox Agency (HFA) aka Songfile website. Haven't checked in a couple of years but it is worth checking.

I believe Brownie has said the tapes are lost.

This is how I have the material. First had some of his music on a 10'' Label X.

Forgot this was time limited. Silly me. I just read the post and reacted. My favorite decade is 1923-2023.

This excludes one masterpiece "The Quest" and probably "Moods".

Lucky to count JR as a friend in the early '60s. I will never forget.

Goofy stuff I appreciated when i was 13.
