Chuck Nessa

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

Hal added tenor late in his (second) life. When drummer Hal attended university he discovered they didn't give certificates/diplomas for percussion so he switched to trumpet. He loved Trane's Interstellar Space and was really impressed when I introduced him to Evan Parker (on record).

It is very dangerous to get dogmatic about "legit" techniques - circumstances can easily alter "values'.

That must have taken some time.

This situation has existed for at least half a century, so we can't blame digital. Isolation and dead rooms are not necessarily the same thing. "Natural sound" can be many different things to different listeners in different listening situations and I don't believe it is always the best sound for a given musical presentation.

Chiseling tablets again?

My fault. Sorry.

Don't know about that one.

Yup, Tesser can be really good when he works at it. Thanks, I had not read that.

Isn't this another "foreigner" trying to pass as a jazz fan? Bah!

I got your "jazz organ discography" right here!

Pucker up Jazzbo.

B-)

No mention of Troy Robinson or Virgil Pumphrey. A big prize (smack on the cheek) for anyone knowing Virgil's second name. Some of you have cds with him.

Ira Sullivan on Flying Fish and John Eardley "Hey There" with JR Monterose, George Syran, Teddy Kotick and Nick Stabulas.

Allegro dropped them a year (or 2 - how time flies) ago. City Hall is the US distributor now. I have not checked lately but Wal-Mart was the cheapest online source. Their selection is/was limited but worth checking.

Just use the "program" function on your turntable.

The RCA set was a "remake/expansion" of a 1957 Dot lp titled The Lion Roars.

Jimmy Cheatham borrowed my lps and "forgot" to return 'em.

Right click on the image of the white rectangle with the * (or the yellow rectangle with a circle?). B-) I thought I had the eye problem! B-)

b3-er's been weird since he screwed up on Baby Face. We better be careful.

And I thought this thread was about Janet's autopsy.

I get a white rectangle with a * in it.

This is a thread about Hancock and he impressed me on this date. I think he plays intelligently and well. It should be said I've never been a huge HH fan either.

No mention of any Fats Waller tracks yet - or is this a '50s/'60s thread? B-)
