Chuck Nessa

I had (have?) the reference acetate in the ebay entry (or another copy). Hadn't thought about it in years, don't remember selling it. I might have turned it over to Bob Koester.

Here's what I found in Bruyninckx: Lionel Hampton All Stars : Lionel Hampton (vib) Ram Ramirez (p,org) Kenny Burrell (g) George Duvivier (b) Osie Johnson (d) New York, c. April 1960 HO004 Railroad no 1 blues (*) Glad Hamp 60004, GHLP1O01, GHLP3050, Ember (E)CJS805, Quadrifoglio (It) VDS9405 HO005 Sometimes I'm happy Glad Hamp 60005 Wild Bill twist (*) 60009, GHLP1O01, GHLP3050, Ember (E)CJS805, Quadrifoglio (It) VDS9405 Wailin' Glad Hamp 60009 Broken hearted 60003 Mama 60007 The wine song 60010 Let's be happy - Note : (*) These titles were erroneously given for a live session at the "Metropole Care" in December 1961. However these are big band performances and the sound and atmosphere is entirely different. Furthermore both listed titles are identical and quintet recordings. The only difference is the added applause most likely dubbed in on the original recordings. Lionel Hampton and his Orchestra : Dave Gonsalves, Virgil Jones, Floyd Jones, Andrew Wood (tp) Vincente Prudente, Haleem Rasheed, George Jeffers (tb) Bobby Plater, Ed Pazant (as) Andrew McGhee, Herman Green (ts) Lonnie Shaw (bar) Lionel Hampton (vib,p,d,vcl) Harold Mabern (p) Calvin Newborn (g) Lawrence Burgan (b) Wilbert Hogan (d) New York, c. 1960 McGhee (*) Glad Hamp GHLP1O01 Playboy theme - Hava nagila - Lonesome nights (Take my word)(bp arr)(*) - Wine song - , Folkways FJ2871 Note : Folkways FJ2871 entitled "Jazz man for all seasons", see following sessions for rest of this LP.

I think it is time for Mike to revisit the math in his first sentence.

After previous discussions, I'm pleased to note a new disc by Foreman's trio with Bobby Broom and Greg Rockingham. Also in this release are cds by Kahil El'Zabar/David Murray, Jeff Parker/Scott Fields and Ernest Dawkins. Interested parties can buy these from me.

Still availavle and I can supply it. B-)

Laz, if you had checked the link Brownie gave, you would see the CD Universe price is 5 day old news.

The cds of this material are dubbed from vinyl.

Looks like the Griffin is missing a track. I hate it when they do stuff like that.

Johnny Dodds.

According to Bruyninckx, this is the 2nd record (of 2) from "Embers West", New York, January 1965. Time to buy a discography?

I just saw the following on the English Warnie site: I've received word from Safford Chamberlain that his book "An Unsung Cat - the life and music of Warne Marsh" will be published as a paperback towards the end of October. It will contain some revisions, but the photographs which featured in the hardback edition, will not be present in this new edition. But, helpfully, there will be an index which was a glaring omission from the original. The book will again be published by Scarecrow Press and will cost $20 - $25. This is good news ('cept for the loss of photos). If you have any interest in Warne get this fine book.

The cd has 10 songs and clocks in at about 58 minutes.

A couple of points about some Transitions, etc: Delmark's Byrd/First Flight was issued on Transition as #5 and it predates the other Transitions as Byrd's debut recording as leader. The personnel includes Yusef Lateef, Bernard McKinney (aka Kiane Zawadi), Barry Harris, Alvin Jackson and Frank Gant. Delmark's Ra/Sun Song was originally on Jazz by Sun Ra (Transition #10). The bonus track, Swing A Little Taste, was on the sampler #30. Ra/Sound of Joy was recorded by Transition but first issued by Delmark. The Larry Marable Jazz West date was issued in the US on BN CDP 7 8440 2 in 1989. It contains a bonus track, from PJ, with James Clay, Bobby Timmons, Jimmy Bond and Peter Littman playing In A Sentimental Mood. This was a Clay "test recording" at the end of a Chet Baker session.

The few Debut originals I've seen were styrene.

Everyone keeps saying Transition "vinyl" but the Transitions were injection molded with styrene, a cheap substitute and very brittle. You can spot these since they have labels attached with glue and they "ring" when tapped on the edge. If you have any old Columbia 45s, you know what I mean.

Our apartment was 2 blocks from the studio. Our mailman was a student there and dropped tickets for all the jazz shows in my box. I never met the guy, but he left notes with the tickets. Saw a shitload of great musicians there. My favorite show was a 10 hour taping of a tribute to John Hammond. Everyone they could round up from Sonny Terry to Bob Dylan. Jo Jones was a hoot!

Thanks Dan. I will do that.

Ann and I are leaving in the morning for a few days of wandering through northern MI and the a week at someplace north of Barrie, Ontario. See ya on the 14th.

Monk is dead and he gave us much more than we should expect. Let this shit go. Nothing is gained.

Tonight, the Earl Hines/Paul Gonsalves quartet with Al Hall on bass and Jo Jones on the drums. What a wonderful (an neglected) date. Over the Rainbow is a classic.

I look forward to a report on the gig. I have not heard him in 20+ years and am curious about his development.

I think he played on a CollinsnAlligator record in the early '80s. Don't know if he toured with Collins.

We are leaving on vacation early Tuesday morning, so I don't think so.

It was on BN. I was so proud I saved it as a word file. If the demand is high I will post it I hereby demand that you post it. Here it is. I have no clue how the bb software will format it.

This makes me feel very anxious. I hoped the board could help me develop my knowledge. I state clearly that I'm not interested in every reissue and every lessknown record. I just want the essentials (there's enough of them I guess, counting already 250 discs in my collection) and hope you guys can show me the way. Anyway (maybe this should be the title of a thread?)

Everybody gets a little crusty once in a while. EVERYBODY. It's always the sane thing to do to just let it slide, but when it's somebody who the vast majority of the time offers invaluable information, unique insight, true knowledge, and, yes, humor, it's not just sane, it's RIGHT. Look at the totality of what that person brings rather than the thing or two that hacks you off. There ain't NO perfect people in this world. The crust is what brings the pie.

I have resisted getting involved in most of the "ban (username), do this, do that" discussions for fear of sounding like a hypocrit as many of the contributors to these threads have, but this is just too much guys. Give it a rest please. Some of us enjoy coming to the board to talk about music with a wide variety of people. One of the most valuable aspects of this board is the diversity. So not everyone was raised by Ann Landers. SFW. All this etiquette is just unnecessary.

OOH!!! wrong pastime!!!....sorry Posts: 1529 | From: Woodinville WA 98052 USA | Registered: May 2001 | IP: Logged Rooster Ties Member # 2057 posted July 15, 2002 06:04 PM (The original thread is gone (thankfully), where Chuck Nessa snapped a bit at SS1), but I wanted to go on record as saying that I think this whole episode is pretty damn pitiful. Chuck may be a little terse in a few of his posts (maybe quite a few) -- but then some might consider that a part of his charm. He's got strong opinions (as many of us do), but (IMHO) he's been down enough roads in this 'industry' (much as I hate that term), to pretty much say whatever he likes, however he likes to say it. (And personally, I don't think his original 'snap' at SS1 in the other thread warranted the multiple ugly replies he got in return.) (And heck, I've even seen on a number of occasions where Chuck has gone on record as apologizing if his slightly 'in-your-face' manner got taken the wrong way.) I rarely (if ever) get in the middle of any of the 'character' arguments going on around the BNBB, but I have to say that I think this is all pretty damn sad. Chuck's a big boy, and surely he can take it (and has probably taken much worse over the years) - but I don't think he deserves it, especially in this case. I generally enjoy and respect the opinions of lots of people around these parts, including some people I was surprised to see come down on Mr. Nessa. I'm hoping this all blows over soon, and we can get back to discussing more interesting topics - instead of beating up on each other - which just turns people off, and chases off some subset of the people who are here to share ideas, and learn from each other.
