Chuck Nessa

Get a listen to the Curtis Counce albums that were recorded on Contemporary! Butler is beyond Cobb... ← What Brownie said. Also listen to Harold Land's The Fox and Elmo Hope's Trio - two Contemporary dates from 1959. Cobb could only dream of playing this. As I understand it, Butler's career was stunted by his "klepto" tendencies. One story I heard had him booted from the Ellington band. Whatever, he was a very good drummer.

This was my first Zoot record 40+ years ago. I was intrigued by the cover. Damn, I must be getting old.

Those tracks were added to the Latin Bit cd, so you can buy everything.

Currently playing Art Farmer/Evening in Casablanca. This is a '60s New Jazz reissue of Prestige 7017. Farmer and Gryce with Duke Jordan, Addison Farmer and Philly Joe. Very solid stuff.

If you are talking about US pressings, they were manufactured by Columbia in the NJ and Indiana plants.

Only on holidays.

No telling what I might have forced Leroy Jenkins into.

Louis Armstrong's Hot 5 on Columbia - over 45 years ago. I bought it early in my "jazz life" 'cause it was the most interesting lp cover in the bins. I'd seen Pops all over tv in the '50s but this looked different. Within 6 years I was recording Roscoe Mitchell and Lester Bowie.

I'm still trying to rid myself of the image of Dan being "all over this". It's been hanging around all day.

mr. nessa...i am curious... so you seem to enjoy a lot of high quality jazz. why are you unsure of this album? do you like your avante more AACM-ish? not that this is so avante an album but i guess it is a challenging listen... to me, "turn it over" is a challenging listen too! or do you just find this album possibly compsitionally or technically weak? ← Nothing wrong with the date and lots of things good. These are some of my favorite players of that era. For some reason I just don't "connect" with it. Not the fault of the date - just one of those things.

This was recorded about the same time as Monk' Music and it has been demonstrated the mono master of that date is superior to the "experimental" stereo. How is the sonic picture on your copy Brownie?

Chuck, you didn't hear anything interesting on Uncle Meat? ← That one didn't piss me off.

I was 24 when Freak Out was issued. Am I disqualified? Frank was a bit older - was he pandering to teens?

Freak Out was first, got my attention and I finally lost interest. Buy something else.

What?

If I have not said this earlier: We are in a post rock period of Western culture and there are no "Overlooked Guitarists".

I should add that all my offending cds were classical music. I've never had a jazz cd go bad. This is 'cause most were manufactured in the US, Japan or EU after the fact.

Probably the same old story told on the Hyperion site - scroll and click on "bronzing". BRONZING I had some problems with discs manufactured at the plant mentioned and some from an Italian plant. AFAIK, these problems were all caused by using the laserdisc formulations.

Or a tradeshow booth.

I wonder if these folks put more money into reading glasses than books.

Jim did not have the blue neon lights (under the consol) on. That organ is a real "ricer" on the gigs.

As good as it gets without "Halo-Light".

That's how I listen to my music. Nothing but the best.

Interesting choice. I bought this when it was issued ('cause I loved Lifetime) and still really don't know if I like it or not.
