Chuck Nessa

By a strange coincidence I mentioned this session on AAJ this morning. That thread was asking for vocal recommendations from the '20s and '30s.

Scott was "on the money" with this vapid piece of crap. Unfortunately Green kept trying to erase his reputation in later life.

I have a tape of Monk in the '50s introducing the tunes, thanking the audience and introducing the rest of the trio.

Big bucks on ebay, when is shows up every decade or so. I ordered my copy from France soon after it was announced (1981). I do not remember the cost but it was HUGE for me at the time. It is an amazing work but the first time I opened the book the glue in the binding gave way and pages came loose. I looked through it and put it back in the shipping carton. I have (maybe) opened it five times since then. I just weighed the book (in carton) and it hits 7.5 pounds. Of the books mentioned in this thread I have Bird, Hendersonia, Sun Ra and the AEOC.

I was trying to insult you by mentioning Bread. B) Actually, as a former Chicago music biz type, I met Dennis DeYoung a couple of times and knew Bill Traut (producer of their first few records and, at the time, owner of Wooden Nickel.

Can you please give a brief description about its content (the description on the AEC site reveals nothing for me)? Thank you. It is a hardback, page size about 9.5" x 12.75", 30+ black and white photos, interviews with the musicians and short essays by Chicago Beau, Mike Hennesey, Isio Saba, Hartmut Geerken, etc. The book is 104 pages, fairly large type and was printed and bound in Italy.

Revenge contains the April 17 concert but excludes Sophisticated Lady.

In 1991 Musidisc issued a cd version of the America lps.

It was published in 1998. As jlh says the AEC sells it HERE. Sometimes Dusty Groove has it too.

Does this count?

Styx??? I keep confusing them with Bread.

John Lindberg Haunt of the Unresolved w/Marty Ehrlich and Hugh Ragin.

For me all Organissimo gigs (or nongigs) are the forum in 3-D. Delighted to have Al join the party.

No. But you can and should tell them "Sprinkle THIS".

And then you can be part of the movement to cut off Arizona's water.

Not the first (or last) time Bernie bummed someone out!

you may put your finger in a dike... That's cool. B) ALL THAT EFFORT AND NO REWARD!!!! Forgive the shout.

In my eyes, they have grown taller in the last couple of years AND Americans have become smaller (maybe they weigh more, but...). On the other hand, I can't forget the image of a Dutch male with his finger in a dike! What were they thinkin?

Scanning the BN discography reveals no logical suspects. A possibility is a compilation from the material (then) unreissued 10" series. The last of these compilations was Lou Donaldson's Quartet/Quintet/Sextet (1537). Artists with enough unreissued material include Julius Watkins, Elmo Hope and Gil Melle.

FWIW Colpix 438 Zoot Sims - Oct 62 446 Jimmy Rushing - Jan 63 456 Randy Weston - April 63 476 Chet Baker - May 64 478 Art Blakey

The Stash cd is a combination of two Carter lps - one is with Konitz and the other is with Farmer. They do not play together.

I think Joe was Empathy. Guess I'm a stoneage member.

Yes indeed! I just got home and was listening to Roscoe, Wadada and Braxton on Lazaro's show.

The program was called Look Up and Live. The show taped Lennie's group at the Half Note and broadcast it. No overt religious message. The material has been on several labels over the years. They play Background Music, 317 E 32nd and Subconscious-Lee.
