Chuck Nessa

I think Sackville returned the tapes to Roscoe 'cause they could not remove the tape print through for cd release. Probably never see a "silvering" of this record.

Time to put the cap back on the glue Mike.

Leaving early Friday morning for a road trip to Dubois, PA. Wonder what the price/supply situation will be then - or the return a week later. Time to redo the vacation budget.

Regular is still $3.48 here.

Regular is $3.48 in Whitehall this morning.

Yes it is in the Ruppli discography.

About 200 including "Fifteen Swing - Ellington at Grinnell" on the Grinnell College label. This was a concert from Jan 10, 1957.

I can not imagine a project by JG that I'd "shy away from". Might not want to spend money, but I'd pay attention.

I think so, but I might have answered a question - don't really know but I deleted it from my bookmarks.

Here is a copy/paste of the PM I received from M Ricci: Chuck, I caught your comment under my Lorraine Feather announcement and I can’t say I was happy about it. First off, if you visited the website, you’d see Lorraine was a paid advertiser. I posted that announcement on her behalf. Your primary board is Organissimo—you’re a guest on the AAJ board and I expect you to conduct yourself as a guest. Taking a future shot at an AAJ advertiser or at me on my board will result in an immediate suspension of posting privileges. Michael __________________ Klaatu Barada Nikto!

If you play Chicago, expect the audience to talk back to you. It may be "go brother" or it may be "do something". Real Chicago audiences will let you know.

AFAIK the "artists" responding on AAJ are paying customers of the site. I recently received a rude reminder that I could not "dis" people who paid for ads on AAJ. I was told I'd be banned if I did it again.

Thanks a bunch. I was forced to sell most of my lps a while ago, made tapes and recently transferred them to cdrs. At some point my cassette deck started slowing down and I wanted to know if this disc was one of them. Yup.

Would someone please post the track timings of the new cd?

Sorry, I've been sulking a bit after feeling the result of a "back-handed compliment". I was introduced to reggae by Desmond Decker and the Aces in 1975. I met Tommy Silverman (Tommy Boy) around 1979/80. How old were you then?

Me too. Back in the day I checked out the lps as they were issued (listening booths folks) and never purchased a one. The guys could play but so could my college friends. Bought the 2 live cds cheap from BMG and won't bat an eye at the big box. Life is too short, music is too big, bread is too short, blah, blah, blah.

All of this could be answered with a few days in the city. If you want rewards from Chicago, spend some time there and see what you are dealing with. By remote control you could be walking into a disaster.

Sorry, I find this condescending. I might have spent time with all of these musics and made a judgement.

Lemme get this straight - he needs a new joint and somebody registered late. Is there some sort of penalty for late registration? All of this is beyond my caring.

So, give details if you have 'em.

Of more interest (at least to me) is the alternate of Konitz's Yesterdays. I have the 78 and the Konitz solos are very different and Miles comes in at the end of one, but not the other.

Lover was not on the original Swingville but was added to the Prestige reissue lp.

Don't know the engineer but it was produced by Leonard Feather on the West Coast - probably LA.

The early "east coast" recordings were very "unwhite". You can't be talking about those. Then he moved to California.............................................

Gotta check out the New Jazz date for Al Francis if nothing else! At the time of issue, I bought the New Jazz, Candid and PJ lps and had big hopes for Mr. Ellis. The subsequent big band dates were such a disappointment it has taken me 40 years to "warm to them".
