Chuck Nessa Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have master tapes for both. Legalities are a mess but I may do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 That would be mighty cool! I assume (though I don't understand much about the business side) a fine reissue of "Les Stances à Sophie" might sell pretty well, too, if it gets some promotion in the right channels?

Sundog Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Reissues of my other two Hal Russell projects are in the works. There are possibly 3 or 4 new projects but I am really wary of investing the time and money right now. Trying to figure out what makes sense in the current environment isn't easy. Thanks for asking. Just wondering, would it make sense for you as a producer to use a Kiskstarter type model for these potential new projects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think Kickstarter works best for artists, not money grubbing producers. It has been this way with foundations and other sources for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedR Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm looking forward to this too. I have very nice memories hearing Ira Sullivan at various clubs and festivals in South Florida. And I only have one cd of his (Bird Lives! On Vee-Jay). Would love to hear more of his trumpet playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 The Sullivan issue (ncd-35) will probably be issued with the Hal Russell NRG Ensemble / Charles Tyler date (ncd-25). The Russell will include 2 more bonus tracks to complete the bonus material issued on ncd-21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogdan101 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks for the update; I got the other Hal Russell, and was very impressed, by both the music and the sonics, so I'll definitely look for the new one when it comes out.

Chuck Nessa Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Listening to the fruits of our 3rd mixing session for the Ira Sullivan project. In addition to the artistry of Ira, I was struck by the work of Jodie Christian. Jodie's playing reminded me of an incident in the early '80s with Andrew Hill. Andrew was in town to visit his ailing mother and called me. He said he needed a break and wanted to go hear some music and asked me to be his guide. I asked what/who he wanted to hear and he said Von Freeman and Jodie Christian. First we went to the Enterprise Lounge to hear Von but he was in Europe and had sent E Parker McDougal as a sub. We stayed for one set and some chat with good vibes all around. Then we returned to my car for a trip to Roberts Show Lounge and the Jodie Christian Trio. Afterwards we all gathered at the bar for Andrew and Jodie to catch up and trade war stories. I was one lucky fellow to witness this stuff.

Chuck Nessa Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Sorry if this seems too personal but today I have been listening to the recent digital transfers of my Hal Russell Generation reissue. If you don't know, Charles Tyler was a guest on most of the material recorded. Charles played clarinet, alto and baritone. While listening to the Mars Williams composition Sponge I broke out laughing at one point. Nearing the end of my "archives" I am delighted to get pleasure from my work. I did resist from posting this in "what are you listening to". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Very cool, Chuck - any new Russell is good news ... the world's got every burp and fart of Slime Ivdsa in fake stereo, now it needs more Hal Russell! Will definitely want the Ira Sullivan, too - besides "Blue Stroll" I know him together with Red Rodney (the early stuff on Fantasy and Savoy/Signal, two Elektra LPs, and the 32 Jazz compilation from teh Village Vanguard) and on some intriguing sidemen albums with Lin Halliday, Eddie Harris, Roland Kirk, the aborted Blakey date, the classic J.R. Monterose Blue Note album. Intriguing musician, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ah, there are three identical ones (or are they identical?) and I clicked on one without "We had a few fine musicians in the room - Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill, Malachi Favors, Douglas Ewart, Don Moye, Joseph Jarman, Thurman Barker and guests Charles Tyler, the Colsons (Iqua and Steve), the Abrams (Muhal and Pegi) and Lester Bowie. Ann's photo diary could form a book." Is that young you in the cream trousers and grey/blue shirt? What album was that for? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
