Chuck Nessa

There are dozens of great recordings that would not exist without his work. He justified his ego.

I bought the first recording I saw of "Rudepoema" after reading Herbie's notes 40 years ago. David Bean on a budget Victrola, IIRC. What became of him? Time for a Google I guess.

B-)

I have not heard the cds but had all the material on Atlas lps from Japan. They are clearly (and clinically recorded in the Japanese manner). Much of the music is first rate and the sound will please.

Those were fakes.

A Cornelius and Che discussion - my dream thread.

I ain't gonna jump into this one now. FWIW, there's also South side and West side blues and they are both Black.

It's a racial/societal thing. South side = Black, North side = White. Generally it is either side of the Loop (central business area) but legally/geographicly/numerically the dividing line is Randolph Street.

Olive Oil and friend.

More from WBLV.

Rackjobbers were a "class" of distributor that put racks of records in non-music stores. Generally they owned the inventory and billed the stores for records sold. Since these establishments didn't have clerks tending the inventory, the wrap protected the merchandise.

In the US they started wrapping records in the mid/late '50s to accommodate "rackjobbers" who placed lps in grocery and drug store racks.

Yes, Bud Freeman called Thiele "son of the chocolate king".

So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I guess they can't "take it". B-)

I'd be very interested. What's the title?

From what I've heard, Henry Grimes is doing just fine after over 20 years away from the scene. But I don't think this is the norm.

I don't think so.

Shame no great artists will play there.

The Centennial Edition is a good place to start if the DVD is important (it should be, but not necessarily an option). If not, an even better cd collection is the BMG/RCA collection called something like the "Very Best". Be sure to get the disc with 20 (or so) titles. Musically this is a better collection. What a shame the rest of the RCA "complete" sets are gone. Shame.

What kinda' undershirt you wear boy? B-)

I was responding to the change in site colors for this forum - they are now different again. No dis to you.
