Wow!

Nice publicity for Mr. Schnabel. If he were still around, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Silly me for thinking Jazzbo would say "Wow".

This link works. Nothing to be embarassed about. Good (too short tho) interview & many of us here are interested.

[jazzbo]

Silly me for thinking Jazzbo would say "Wow".

What I actually said was "Wow!" I think it's warranted.

[Chuck Nessa]

For the Schnabel Mozart, I agree.

[Lazaro Vega]

Those photos look like the place where I went to Grad School....

[GA Russell]

Chuck, it looks like you've got a few CDs in your house!

[Chuck Nessa]

You have no idea!

[jazzbo]

I got the Mozart pic. Said "Huh?" Thought a sec. Did a google search for "Chuck Nessa 2010" and that was the third hit. Posted "Wow!"

I'll take your word for it that the Mozart deserves the "Wow."

[Chuck Nessa]

It has had a wow from me for about 40 years (in the component parts). Schnabel is a favorite.

[Big Al]

What's to be embarrassed about?

[Chuck Nessa]

I am very happy to pimp my recordings but feel uncomfortable when it is about me.

edit to say video will follow.

Must be a lefty thing.

[Chuck Nessa]

Nope - pure money grubbing stuff.

[papsrus]

Some stuff I learned:

Chuck is left handed.

He spends a lot of time in the basement.

RVG could not possibly have been involved in 'The Maze' recordings.

There are many more things yet to be revealed.

Thanks for posting the link.

Looking Forward to the new releases

You are a part of jazz history. I thought that you would be used to it by now.

[JohnS]

Good stuff, thanks for the link.

[jazzbo]

I understand Chuck, but remember that interest and information about you is a doorway to more attention and interest in the artists. And I know you value that.

I know what you mean, Chuck, but what would be the point of creating things if nobody else became aware of them? I don't think I'm rationalizing when I sat that here should be no shame attached to most shameless plugs. Certainly not yours—that was a good and well-deserved writeup, but more is warranted, If you are reluctant to expose yourself, there are others—I include myself—who gladly will do so.

Geoffrey Holder once told me that he doesn't really like it when people come up to him in public places, waving a pen or looking like they just found a pot of gold. He doesn't like it, but he would like it even less if they did not recognize him. I understand that, because I am often embarrassed when, in the presence of others, I come across effusive praise for my work (it does happen), but I am never unhappy about it. Ego is like a vitamin pill that we all need but would rather not taste—or something like that.

Let's get more NessaNews out there!

Great photos Chuck. Thanks for sharing.

[AllenLowe]

I like praise but I prefer cash (small, unmarked bills)

[Bright Moments]

Nice piece Uncle Chuck - thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the new releases!!!
