Chuck Nessa

You mean there's only ONE answer? I didn't know that. I though diversity, even in music, was a good thing. There's plenty of people doing everything else, very few doing what Hank does. So I think he has the right to rely on his good taste, just as much as so many other artists have a right to rely on their bad taste. ← If I understand you correctly, my response is "HUH?".

Remember, he's just a tall kid from Lansing. and I think I might have "emotional problems" if GregN turned out to be a relative.

'Cause I'm interested in them. This always makes me check out the classical page to see the rest of the new discs.

I forgot you produced the Lonnie Johnson sessions.

Gushee is a well established "academic" in the US "jazz academic" circles. He has not published much but is/was a very serious observer of early jazz. His pieces in the original "Jazz Review" established his reputation. I agree with Lowe about the Reich book but agree some nuggets can be dug from the "pile", as long as you recognize the pile. I do think it is time for Gushee to "publish or perish" if he cares to keep the reputation. I've heard rumors of books for years but my patience is running very thin.

Are you implying Japanese soldiers are locusts?

Probably in the same "mindset" as the folks over here who buy Chevrolets.

I think you must know where that finger must go now.

Which one? ← The real one, not the recent imposters. Jerry Vale/Chicago = same thing.

Hank, all those chords are lovely and placed impeccably - why don't you EVER take a friggin' chance? Is "good taste" always the answer? Thanks for all the lovely music, and I mean that.

Leonard Feather produced this session on the Wet Coast and all the tunes were written by Clarence Williams and Irving Mills.

I might be able to find a "buggy whip" maker here in Michigan. Want the address? Almost like being in jazz indeed!

No time, and I want to keek the topic alive.

Amazing no person has mentioned the "Chicago mob" connections to the group.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? At least part of the real world is reflected on CSPAN!

Always behind the times?

Will she/he give you points as odds?

Not since 1949 when I ran screaming to escape The Wizard of Oz. I still get chills when I see women with green skin.

After 3 or 4 Webers, I tired of messing with the coals and bought one of these:

I almost deleted my post, not wanting to dampen your enthusiasm.

Unfortunately the current Collectables issue omits 10 bonus tracks used for the Atlantic cd set. The Atlantic set combined 3 lps and the Collectables only has the 2 Atlantic lps. The 3rd lp was a Reprise record called Greatest Hits Live. This included a wonderful version of the Black and Tan/Mooche/Creole Love Call medley. As the linernotes mention, Don't Get Around Much Anymore is a studio recording. To my knowledge, nobody has pointed out Satin Doll is a studio recording as well - it is the same as the recording on Ellington '66.

Indeed it was!

Yes, I saw that on the Amazon site a few days ago. I only need volume 6 to complete the set.
