Timeless recordings are distributed in the US by Stateside Dist. (the SteepleChase operation). Email Pete Crawford at Stateside@prodigy.net to find out their price, etc.

This combination, along with Percy Heath, recorded for BN and Prestige in March of '54. Meshed fine.

Aren't they the same thing?

I sold my Mecca 10" (without cover) for $1000 a few years ago to a Japanese dealer. I can't imagine what he got for it.

Worktime.

According to Bruyninckx, the first recording by Diz was a broadcast from LA in December 1945. In the next year, Uptown will issue a concert performance of Tunisia from May, 1945 with Diz and Bird.

Sounds good to me. Yes, we will be gone June 28-July 14. Maybe we should plan a convention!

In a vacation thread, GoM said he and wife were going to vacation in Saugatuck, MI and I posted it wasn't too far from us and we took it from there.

Yup.

We live in Whitehall, a little town on the west coast of the state - about 11 miles north of Muskegon and 45 miles from Grand Rapids. Our daughter lives in Southfield.

"Ghost of Miles" visited me last night - we had a great time (at least I did). He's a bright guy with a genuine love of the music. If he knocks on your door, let him in.

Nessas and Uptowns are $15 per disc with the exception of the Mingus, which is $16. The multidisc Okkas are as priced in the catalog.

The MLB cops were in house, since the Yankees will be in town this weekend, and they ran to the clubhouse and confiscated all of Sammy's 72 bats. After inspection they say the bats are all fine. Mr. Sosa's excuse holds water. Stick it where the sun don't shine!

I just discovered the Okka list I've been sending out is missing the following title: 12035 ALLY Trio/DKV Trio "Double or Nothing" w/ Gustafsson, Vandermark, Drake, etc. Sorry for the error.

Hey, it's a motor trip to the Grand Canyon...........we are spending 3 days in Las Vegas.

The new Uptowns by Charlie Rouse ($15) and Allen Eager ($16) are available directly from me. Until I leave on vacation (June 28) US shipping will be free. Orders from elsewhere will have the equivalent of US shipping deducted from their postage charge. The free shipping extends to any Uptown and Nessa cds and discs on Delmark and Okka Disk. During this period all Okka single disc titles will be $12 and Delmarks will be $10 (DD series), $13 (DE) and $14 (DG). I can supply Okka and Uptown lists via Word files. Delmarks can be researched on their web site. You can contact me at cnessa@earthlink.net.

Everyone I ever met from East St. Louis had bad teeth - black or white.

My previous answer meant, that's how far into a "good" store I have to walk to find the jazz (or classical) bins. If it is a "good" store I feel compelled to buy something to reward them.

36 Steps, the pre-quel. Made in the last weeks of the master's life this MASTERPIECE gives meaning to all that came before. All questions are answered. Tipi Hedren is outstanding! The Lifeboat really sank, but they cut to the fantasy ending, leaving out the ugly end of the characters. Cary Grant fell off the nose of Washington, but again the fantasy ending was used. Damn, that pot roast was HARD!

I'm always in front of the computer. What else do you need?

19 'cause I think that is how many bars in the blues Big Joe Williams made up for Ann and me - back in 1966.

It is my understanding, this was a tape given to BN to satisfy Hubbard's contract, so he could move on to Atlantic. BN bought it to keep the recording (with other valuable BN artists) out of other label's hands. BN issued it to recoup money advanced to Hubbard.
