Chuck Nessa

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.

A little time spent HERE will answer this question.

Looks like I'll be coming with Upright, the Skidster and friend. I promise to take a shower tomorrow.

SHIT!!!!!!!!

TEHO - to each his own. I think this depends on the size of your collection and your appreciation of the music. I'd say if you don't have around 3000 cds, live with what you have and buy some new music.

I first heard his music about 30 years ago, had lp recordings and they went away in my big vinyl purge of the '90s.

Jim, are old jeans and sandals ok at this place? Don't want to be a sore thumb in GR. B)

I don't have any real problems with Woody's vocals, though some are now in questionable taste (racist). I just think the best music is on the disc I mentioned and the box is a bunch of bucks.

Funny you should mention that. I was always intrigued by the takes of Big Stuff from the same set.

The lp had 7 tracks and the 1996 domestic cd had 12. Have not seen the new one but it must be the same.

Not positive, but I think I'll be there.

Yes I do.

I think this date is a 'reasonable idea' and less than stellar execution. Nice try, but no cigar. I'd say it remained in the can for all the right reasons.

If I was doing this again, I would find the Capitol Jazz cd called 'Keeper of the Flame' and let the rest go.

Not that I know, but there must be some evidence - I first heard him in the '70s.

Chris Foreman is a MOTHER. I tried to use him in some situation for a couple of years but he kept disappearing into the church and/or r&b worlds. Terry Martin was trying to set up an organ theme for the fest this year - one organ band on each stage each day. It didn't work out.

I believe Don Byron has been added to replace Steve Lacy in the Monksieland band. I suggested Braxton (on clarinet) but guess that didn't work out.

If it has not been mentioned, all interested parties should check out Diz's Something Old, Something New. This April '63 date was my intro to Mr. McIntosh.

Marsh freaks should check this out. Be amazed.

This post brought back memories of a great weekend during the summer/fall of 1964. I went to visit friends in Des Moines to view a Sunday morning religious broadcast (we didn't receive that channel at my home) featuring Tristano, Konitz and Marsh. On Saturday I took advantage of the "big city" record stores/departments available. At the downtown Younkers store I purchased 2 new releases I didn't know about - Black Fire and Dolphy's Conversations. I think I bought the Hill record 'cause it "looked cool". I remember being most impressed with Roy Haynes on Black Fire.

I think Kevin is busy packing for his move to Kansas.

So......you are saying you have not had fun since you got married?

Not wanting to be greedy, I wish I remembered more about sessions I attended and the ones I produced. I do remember during one of the sessions for Roscoe Mitchell's "Sound", a phone call was transfered to the booth. As a result I walked into the studio and told Lester Lashley he was a "proud new papa". Lester L (fantastic musician) then pointed to Lester Bowie and said "tell HIM".

If it's not your way, how do you know it's difficult?

Does a napkin full count, or do you need another participant? Lot'sa potential rules in the 21st Century. YOU need to define "cheating" since you brought it up.
