Chuck Nessa

Please give me the details for that one.

Much better. I consider this a triumph for Roscoe since I think the record they made with Charles Tyler is very sad for all involved. Roscoe is a stronger personality in playing situations than Charles was. Charles needed to be in complete control (or sympathy) to make the music work.

Let me push you. I have not reached disc 3 yet, but you get your moneys worth.

That guy HAS to live in Milwaukee.

Trouble is, there will always be another one.

I've been trying to call Anthony for a month. No answer. I'm looking for his home address so I can send him a copy of Warne's cd. If you see him, tell him to call.

In the early cd era Pickwick issued a bunch of Black and White masters in a series of anthologies. I never picked any up because of an allergy to anthologies.

The "collector" in Larry's Mingus story frequently showed up at clubs with stacks of records to get autographed. I remember a similar scene when the guy was having Big Joe Turner sign about 30 lps. Some of the records were by (piano) Joe Turner. Joe held up a couple of these and said "Do you really think this is me?" There must be a God 'cause about 5 years later the guys basement flooded and......

Not really a studio pickup band. Chico, Szabo and Stinson had been together for 3 years at that point. Land is the only "newbie" and there had to be a bunch of previous experience there.

anybody know how we can jam up his website? Just to return the favor.

Nica, Chan and Sweet Georgia Brown.

Years ago my daddy told me - never owe a bank anything or owe them so much they can't stop supporting you. Banks count on your honesty. It is up to you. Ain't gonna be no value judgments from me.

Kenny is a fine musician but (at his best) fills holes in performances without destroying them. I have nothing negative to add and nothing positive other than that. My "not being a negative" is much bigger praise than most of you will reaslise.

And I thought you only had CDrs!

Thank god (or who-ever) for small favors. This is the current (last 25 years) home town of Roscoe Mitchell! I lived there in the early '70s and liked it alot, in spite of having to replace my store's front windows every 90 days.

It does not make him unique, but Tal had a great techinque and very interesting ideas of how to use it. The trios/quartets with Eddie Costa are wonderful but don't limit your listening to them. He's a MF!

If you are REALLY checking out jazz guitar, don't ignore Tal Farlow and Jimmy Raney.

So was this "sympathy shopping" brought on by RainyDay?

You gonna have a tough crowd in Austin. Good luck!

the bastards!

I'm in the middle of filling my shopping cart at Berkshire but will stop now and finish it when I get back from Chicago. Gotta go hear the AEC.

Bev, following you off topic I suggest you search out the 10 conducted by Mark Wigglesworth. This was one of those "freebies" with the BBC Music mag a few years ago.

Good luck. If it is any consolation, you made me smile.

"Blumine" is quite touching in the proper context. By that I mean the original 1893 version of the symphony. The well known edition of Mahler 1 is a later reorchestration. The 1893 version is lighter sounding (and the orchestra is smaller) and contains a number of startling effects. In the introduction the clarinet fanfares are played by the horns and in the funeral march the solo bass is doubled by cello. At the very end of the work the drum roll is twice as long. Anyway, I think the movement "works" better in this version. None of my favorites have been mentioned yet: Horenstein/VSO 1953 Horenstein/LSO 1969 Guilini/CSO circa 1969 Walter/NYP 1954 and for the 1893 version; Wyn Morris/New Philharmonia circa 1970
