Chuck Nessa

What DrJ said but from the thread title, I smell an Andoran reissue. Is this the case?

Late in his career I tried to do a couple of Carisi projects but they came to naught. Not his fault, just the idiots I was working with. Carisi didn't know about my attempts.

Considering the players involved, I have been "bummed" by Handyland for about 40 years. Nothing wrong, but nothing great.

She was a lady in all the best ways. Sonny will miss her more than we know.

Either Ray or Ra.

As a Green fan, I bought the lp when issued. Played it once, was bummed and shelved it. When the cd was issued and I had the same reaction.

NYC5 Consequences.

Pollini gives me hives.

You need 'em all.

It's available now... [CD Universe] Wrong record. Late is talking about the Shepp/Dixon Quartet recording.

I too am allergic to Kempff's Schumann but he is much better in Schubert.

Thanks for the update Jim. Ann and I have been curious.

Something like that. I had made a very specific deal with Ira to make a very specific type of recording. In the studio Ira opened up a briefcase, dug out some music and said "I know what Chuck expects, but have some stuff in here that's almost like art". My response was something like "what do you think jazz is?". After messing around with endless "rehearsals" of Ira's "almost like art", Don DeMichael (a guest in the studio) said "Play bebop". Ira said "the style or the tune?" with contempt. I said "Your choice". They wound up playing "That's Earl Brother". A fine performance, indeed. This recording was a wonderful and very trying experience. I think I won the fight since Ira has repeatedly told me this is his best record.

Thanks Mike, but I really wanted to find out if anyone (else) knew this recording.

Just curious. Anyone out there know the Ira Sullivan lp on Flying Fish? Anyone?

For maybe the first time ever, Ann and I are alone. She cooked a 16 lb bird and we had all the "fixin's". We ate at 1 PM, watched the Dallas/Chicago game at 4:30, had some "bubbly" and threw up near the end of the game. Everything I said before is true 'cept the gettin' sick part. We did talk to our parents and kids today. Family love and tensions are REAL and the most important part of life. Best wishes to all. Love all of you. Chuck

Robert Pozar, Marc Levin, Ed Curran and Marzette Watts dates were Dixon productions. Joseph Scianni took part in the "October Revolution in Jazz" but do not know if his Savoy date was a result of that Dixon connection (no mention of Dixon in the liners). I don't know about others.

Isn't the traditional answer "Richard Carpenter"?

I think your boss lurks here.

Was Morgana ever "famous" beyond the Godfather movies?

A "sidebar" to welcome Allen here. Members should check out his books. That Devilin' Tune is the place to start. Like only a few writers, he makes me think.

Dexter Landslide and next up Johnny Hodges/Wild Bill Davis Mess of Blues.

My bad. They DO look alike.
