Chuck Nessa

Yeah, right. Move.

As a jazz and classical collector since the late '50s, and since I have made lps since the mid '60s, if this guy can really hear the dif, I wanna talk to that boy. On second thought, I never want to talk to him.

A mighty dangerous charge around these parts.

Aric, the woman is out of her mind in my opinion. Nuff sed.

and it hits the scales at "a hair" under 4 pounds. That is just over $12 a pound. I know 'cause I have one. Very fine "tome".

Let me state this as clearly as possible: After 40 years in this business, I do not believe what they say about keeping the catalog available. We may be offered "downloads" of current items but it ain't the same. They might believe it but it ain't gonna happen. Saul Zaentz and his people (especially Ralph Kaffel) have done jazz fans a service for many years and it can not continue without Saul's money and Ralph's zeal. Thanks to all a Fantasy. Edited to add: If you have some favorite Concords, look at the current Concord catalog to see what these folks do.

Have to admit when I read the topic, my first thought was Johnny was sending her to a collective to operate a wheat reaper. B-)

Denzil?

Yeah, it's my wife's birthday too - so HB to all. B-) It is Max Roach's day as well.

Best wishes.

So, you die in a car crash, from cancer, whatever......... Your heirs will be cursing your corpse for the trouble the have disposing of your collection.

Peter's information is correct with one big correction to the original question. The real originals were 78s with no cover art - next came a 10" lp with a cover reproduced on the front of the current RVG.

Mention of Roy reminds me that when Bob Sunenblick (Uptown owner) called Mr Haynes about the Boston 1952 session with Joe Gordon, Mingus & Twardzik the first thing out of his mouth was "do I take a solo?". When told there were no drum solos he said "yeah, I don't ever remember Bird letting me solo".

Haven't had any herb with global implications in some time. B-)

Hawk and Jaws Night Hawk.

Welcome. I'm pleased Mike was able to drag you over here from rmb.

All of the above.

Do not rush into anything. I will let others post and have my say later.

Sorry Ghost, it is a 4 disc set.

Who is Virgel Pumphrey (sp)?

First, brush up on your typing skills (so we do not misunderstand your posts) and then listen to someone like Albert Ayler, Roscoe Mitchell or Evan Parker. I mention these folks so you can see how far the "technique bar" has been lifted.

2004?

I deleted my post. Sorry if I offended any.

Met a tenor player once who could beat the shit out of any drummer or trombonist he met. Talk about talent!
