Chuck Nessa

Does the phrase "ancient to the future" ring a bell?

Didn't he marry Frankenstein in a movie?

Since you don't understand me I'll go away. Forget I ever posted here. I supervised lp mastering and pressing for over 20 years. I might have some info. Mastering engineers I've dealt with include Bob Ludwig, RVG, John Bittner, Roger Seibel, Bob Fine, Joe Wells and a few others. Pressing plant quality is a very different thing. Mastering and pressing do not have anything to do with one another. No mention of plating companies? Please tell me about those guys. That is where "pressing noise" originates.

Why do you trust Hoffman and why trust the mastering engineers at Classic. If you want the vinyl, buy the vinyl. Lots of shell games going on in the "vinyl" world.

It is even more complicated than that. The current RVG duplicates the original lp and adds 2 bonus tracks in the form of alternates of Carolyn and No Room For Squares.

That's the one!

Wait, you saw Getz at a Burger King? ← He was doin' fries and rings.

I prefer burning accordians and banjos.

I voted for Discovery only 'cause after this disc and a couple of Hamilton sides, I quickly lost interest in his work. He's obviously a fine musician but not my "cup of tea".

Kelly's predated my arrival in Chicago. The London House was at Michigan and Wacker - last I knew it was a Burger King but that may have changed. Last act I saw there was Getz. The Nickel was on Wells St, across from the Dr Scholl's factory. IIRC it became a dog grooming place. Last music I heard there (fall of '68) was Miles with Wayne, Chick, Holland and Tony. Other folks I heard there included Coltrane (3? times), Wes, Jimmy Smith, Horace and Monk. Maybe more will come to me later. I'm sure Larry Kart can correct some of my info and give the word on Kelly's.

Geez, the last time I was at "the Gate" was in the early '80s to hear Alan Toussaint with guests Dr John and Fathead.

Nice haul!

Frances Faye's brother Marty Faye was a popular disc jockey and television host in Chicago. I met him a few times and knew his daughter much better - wish I could remember her name.

I still like your fries.

I don't have the new reissue but do have an earlier incarnation coupled with the Poulanc Concerto for Organ, Strings and Tympani with the same forces. In fact, I have a duplicate I'll bring to Billy's on Thursday if I can remember it.

For some silly reason I've always referred to this record as "In Tents With Porpoises". This thread inspired me to play said Dixon date.

You mean nobody will see my posts?

Sorry to get "serious" but I think Roscoe Mitchell's "Sound" kills the funny stuff.

Sadly most of the Kocsis Philips discs are gone or I would have leaned heavily on them for recommendations. I missed vol 6 and recently ordered vol 7 from Berkshire. I have an allergy to Kremer's tone - I want to "love" him but find it difficult to "like" him. Beyond the "historical" recommendations the Pauk discs suffice for me. Your earlier touting of the Vegh quartets is right on but hard to find and relatively expensive. Both Takacs and Keller are in the "Vegh mode" - not the "streamlined 20th century" style created by Julliard and finished by Emerson. In fact Sandor Vegh wrote the first page in the Keller notes. Since we are speaking of Sandor(s) and hinting at "great performances", no Bartok fan should ignore the inexpensive VoxBox by Gyorgy Sandor of the 3 piano concertos, Rhapsody for Piano and Orch, Scherzo for Piano and Orch and Sonata for 2 Pianos and Percussion. AND for my alltime favorite violin concerto another VoxBox of concerto performance by Ivry Gitlis. This early '50s recording of the Bartok is a desert island performance for me.

From Bruyninckx: Lew McCreary (tb) Dave Dyson (b) replace Robinson, Vinnegar, Bud Shank (fl-1) added and Modesto Duran out Los Angeles, January 8, 1964 Aram Pacific Jazz PJ80, CDP7.93414-2 Caprichos (1) - , - , A-100 Eric - , - , B-100 Note : Entire session on Mosaic MD5-198 (CD). Pacific Jazz PJ80 = ST80. Pacific Jazz A-100/B-100 is a 45 -33 RPM edited single with studio chatter and section rehearsals. The master tape of these rehearsal sequences are lost.

If you go to the first post in this thread you will get a bunch of information.

I might take delivery tomorrow, certainly early next week. Then I need to pack/ship orders to the distributors and they need to do the same to stores/web vendors. That's what I know.

They issued a couple of single lps in the early days but think it is highly unlikely now.

1. Introductions 1:43 2. BeBop 6:53 3. A Night In Tunisia 7:30 4. Groovin' High 6:59 5. Salt Peanuts 7:14 6. Hot House 8:05 7. 52nd St. Theme 1:56 The timings are a bit deceptive cause of tune introductions.

Looks great Jim. For some reason I keep clicking on "My Assistant" by mistake.
