Chuck Nessa

My first pick would be Hawk Eyes, followed by Soul.

Wasn't he the Beaver?

How about Hal Russell?

Born in Houston in 1925. Attended Alabama State. He also played with Diz, Jacquet, Joe Morris and Ammons/Stitt.

No inside info. Just years of experience. No other outfit would/could keep this huge catalog intact.

I think we should anticipate a gutting of the Fantasy catalog, therefore a buying guide of likely deletions is in order. I could list around 200 titles but will start with one likely to be missed: Hal Singer Blue Stompin' with Charlie Shavers, Ray Bryant, Wendell Marshall and Osie Johnson. This is a fantastic recording I've enjoyed for 30+ years. I pulled it out tonight to play and this thread dawned on me. Please list your recommendations.

I hear he kills small animals in his spare time. Are you one?

NOT MY FAULT!

So, how do you exploit our "jazz brothers" to your advantage?

Boy am I confused. If it's a REAL birthday - keep goin', if not drop dead.

I think I will wait for the 128 bit versions of those titles.

Do not ignore the Candids.

Now I understand.

I suggest we all keep a keen eye out for "product dumps" at the usual wedsites.

Must be time to live in the past.

Can't wait to attack this guy!

Looks like something from the "jazz research" list. B-)

Prostate acting up ? My doctor said (after the insertion ) "I envy you, it's in the right place, right size and pointed in the right direction".

I hope some of you appreciate that I have not pissed on anyone in this thread even though I have very strong feelings about clarinetists. B-) Jim's post about Ellington clarinetists is good advice.

yes, but your post count is going through the roof ! Welcome aboard e! They shoot horses, don't they?

OH! The horror! Watch ebay everybody. I don't give refunds.

Jump in, the water's fine.

Up, with some deletions.

It was "last call" about an hour ago.

Nothing but good to say about the trio stuff, but the solo sides are the prime meat for me.
