Chuck Nessa

Creative Improvisers Orchestra "The Sky Cries the Blues" with Leo Smith, Oliver Lake, Bobby Naughton, Marty Erlich, Joe Fonda, Gerry Hemingway, etc. This is a 16 piece orchestra playing 2 pieces by Smith and one each by Naughton and Hemingway.

Estates and claims on them can be a mess. Sometimes you just need to move ahead if something is to happen. After negotiations with the estates of Bird, Chet, Mingus, etc I'm a bit "dazed" by the idea of "the right thing". At one point, while trying to pay "somebody", I ran into a situation where the family lawyer said "The estate is closed and distributed - new activity presents problems for all of us." This was resolved by a check for $1000 to the family - don't know the lawyer's cut. Under circumstances like this, labels have some latitude. Dean Blackwood seems to be an OK guy, enjoy the music.

"Their man" CN was sitting at the corner of the bar, 5 feet from the band and directly under the closest drain from the storm off the lake. Great (and memorable) night. Never been to the club before, but the folks were dandy and the band was a blast. Pleased to meet and talk to Arno after years of "knowing about him". A wonderful evening all 'round.

RCA began regularly recording their symphonic dates in stereo in the first quarter of 1954.

Let this thread die.

It may take a while for Jim to learn all the correct changes.

The Ayler was a reissue of "My Name Is Albert Ayler". The America Bley/Coleman was on a Musidisc cd - I have a copy. The record Ornette successfully stopped was the one Bley issued on IAI titled "Coleman Classics - volume 1". There are 2 Mal Waldron dates and I think at least the one with the Lacy band is a candidate. You can scratch the Corea record - it is just another incarnation of the Sonny Lester "out takes and alternates".

Tennis, anyone? I'm sitting here with my legs tightly crossed.

Back "in the day" before cassettes or even before home tape recorders were common, the "acetate" was the format for musicians to check what they had recorded. There were tons of them. Things had progressed by the mid 70s to the point I sent 7 1/2 IPS tapes to artists. I remember Warne Marsh telling me a story about the Becker/Fagen produced Apogee session. At the end of the date, cassettes were given to the artists and they looked at them and said something like "what do we do with these?". Becker and/or Fagen got on the phone and ordered Nakamichis for each band member. Of course this was added to the project budget by the record company.

Frank Zappa?

Aluminum. Not a problem.

This brings back memories of my youth. Looks like it wasn't wasted after all. B-)

Never mind. I seems Impossible has everything under control.

30+ years ago mail was delivered twice a day in the US too (urban areas only).

Jim, I need a new fence on the west side of my property. Can you help?

Jerry/Jamil was a great friend (and guide) for 30+ years. He was "perceptive" but NEVER "ambivilent" about anything. Late Coltrane was of great importance to him. Great "critics" take big chances when saying anything "negative" about artists they love.

The Joe G Trio be happening around here. I forget the name of the band.........

It is fantastic! Better than I had remembered. I will try to post a more thorough review later but, for now, I will highly recommend it. Seeing this post I dug out the 2 original lps (FMP0730 Touch the Earth and FMP0920 Break the Shells) and checked the cd contents on the FMP site. To my dismay, the cd program has omitted the piece called Break the Shells (17:53) and substituted Long Time No See (7:29). Guess I keep the vinyl.

Same guy.

FWIW, Mathieu wrote a similar 5 star review of Roscoe's "Sound" (a few months later) AND a couple of arrangements for Ellington's "Piano In The Background".

Geez, I got this set from Worlds Records over a month ago. The sound is fine except for some audience "chatter". The playing is first rate and extraneous noise never obscures the music.

Mike, the previous cd was titled "A to Thiele" but it actually went further into the letter T - I know Lucky Thompson was included. I don't remember when I received that one.
