Chuck Nessa

They have not yet exhibited any respect for "leaders', just like recent Fresh Sounds.

Me thinkst (?) a bunch of folks here have the back of anyone questioning the value of Evans' "influence".

AND stuff was closed off too. Not such a simple "forward" progression. It took Miles about a decade to "rediscover" the blues.

So the premise of the thread is discovering pianists from 30 or 40 years ago wanting to move to the next step (and beyond) who didn't reach their goal? Sad.

If you don't get Miles, move on. Have a life. Your loss. What else do you need an instruction book for?

So you really didn't want an answer. Silly me.

Red was replaced because one (or more) of his "abuse problems" made him unreliable. But, Bill....................

Great! Sounds like the best thing to do. Thanks for sharing and all the best for the 3 of you.

My cd matches the info jazzmessenger lists. It is a 1998 mini lp numbered CY-18059

That seals the deal for me.

Copy and paste, for one.

I have most of the early stuff (pre-'50s) on 78 and the lp reissues are pale by comparison. I have multiples of the Port of Harlem and much of the rest. I even supplied BN with "source material". Get a grip boys......and yes I really do have the 78s. Each change of technology has pluses and minuses. Get over it.

Looks like Prestone to me.

Sorry I didn't mention those I've dumped.

I've been trying to stay away from comparisons, but you have opened the door - or I got tired of "containing". The Schnabel might be played at my funeral. Nothing else is close. I find all post '60s Brendel "mannered" and it drives me nuts. (Yup, blame Brendel). Lupu doesn't even register on my radar.

I've seen you do this before with different results. B-)

Don't you mean "a stout logger"?

Blakey was not a composer. Initially Silver, Mobley and Dorham provided music for the band. After they left Bu went outside for material. The compositional focus did not reappear until Golson was in the band.

You're the guy dat "poked" the little girl, right? Good goin'. Glad you get another year on your belt.

Mike, I was talking/typing about the Denon/Savoy disc. Never bothered with the other one.

Nah, that's the time to spring Brotzmann on 'em. They won't be able to stop dancin'.

Talk about "grumpy"!!!!!

Did I forget to say I forwarded this thread to your boss?

I had the exact opposite reaction. I was relieved I had something I thought was missing.
