Chuck Nessa

It all sounds like restaurant music to me. Ever hear any Hal Russell during the salad?

This record was issued a few years before Columbia got into rock. The "one shot" was undoubtedly facilitated by the participation of Getz - a very hot commodity at the time. IIRC, Getz filed suit against Columbia for making his name more prominent (by color - orange) than the other players including Brookie.

What happens if you die? What if you get tired of this shit and sell the masters? If you sold them to me and told me you owned the masters and had no obligations on paper.... Nothing on paper? The artist is the only loser. Legally the label owns the copyright and in court the artists will lose every time. All this slippin' and slidin' gives me the heebie jeebies. For cripes sake, at least give the artists a piece of paper detailing their rights if you dispose of the master rights.

Bobo Stenson, disc 9.

One of the Count Basie volume of the Masters of Jazz series (it should be volume 11) has all four versions of 'Dickie's Dream'. Can't check right now. The series is unfortunately discontinued by now and that CD might be hard to find! ← IIRC there are really only 3 takes - the extra on the Columbia lp duplicated one of the others. I currently have 3 takes on Classics and Neatwork.

My mistake. I thought you'd get it.

Gotta admit you asked for it.

Question for traders/collectors of "unauthorized" music: If you think Kind of Blue is a classic recording, on which tunes does Jimmy Cobb play brushes? If you don't have a clue.................. No fair checking after the fact. If you don't know, you need to experience the recordings you own. If you are a "big" collector of "grey maket" stuff in this style, you need to examine your thought processes.

Damn! Wish we were with you. We are eating leftovers again tonight - for lunch we finished the fantastic sushi Mark and Melanie brought. For the record, and so couw can update his map.... We are in Beachwood Ohio. Having dinner here tonight. ←

Chris, where are you now?

Mark, me and Chris. Late in the evening, after much beer and food.

This is one pic (taken this morning) giving a hint of our evening. Guests were Catesta, his friend Catrina, Uncle Skid, wife Melanie and Lazaro. Laz had to be on the air at 10 so he missed the beer and food. As you could guess, Catesta brought a fine array of roadkill for our grill.

All the best.

Strozier was not a member of the band at the time Abrams was in the band. The personel included Paul Serrano and Nicky Hill.

Hope all goes smoothly.

Uncle Skid and wife will be here too. Happy motoring.

Can you imagine the cost of the inventory? Customers have to pay for this - it ain't free. OTOH, Dusty's inventory ain't as big as JRM's back room. I love DG, but they manage their inventory "with care".

Happy Birthday you rhythmic one. Have a great time in Cadillac tonight!

If that is really the case, I'd consider it - with the 90 day warning.

It usually means it was a return (faulty machine) reconditioned by the manufacturer. Ya' takes your chances. How much were they asking vs. a new copy of the same model?

I was speaking of Newman - he recorded the Gillespie material.

His recordings of the Gillespie band at the Spotlite Club date from the summer of '46.

As mentioned elsewhere, the K2 of Monk's Music is a huge improvement but you might want both editions since the K2 is from the mono masters and the OJC is (poor) stereo.

Sorry you find so little pleasure.
