Chuck Nessa

Disc 5 with Mezz and Frankie Newton ao.

Just finished a postgame plate of wings.

Happy in this house.

They don't say a piano trio set - "focus on pianists in a variety of settings".

Before the Buffalo / KC game - I have this set -

Looks like the Braff/Larkins, Sir Charles Thompson trio session and Mel Powell dates are held back for the promised piano box.

Lazaro Vega sent me THIS LINK, I ordered and now I am on a Wadada listening binge.

Disc 3 - Song of Humanity

You should be able to compare different issues at DISCOGS

Late night/early morning sounds -

Not sure of a wardrobe change between afternoon and evening show. Memory says we all walked a block or 2 to a Mexican restaurant on Lincoln Avenue.

Had the pleasure of having dinner with Roy Haynes along with Dexter Gordon, Red Rodney and Ira Gitler after one of Joe Segal's "Charlie Parker Month" celebrations. It was August 23, 1970. Ira kept joking that Roy's name had been "typo-ed" in the NY Times - he kept addressing him as Hag-nes. Some material was issued on this -

The material from Maiden Voyage is doubled in this set -

I enjoyed those records so much I broke down and bought the 7 cd set in February - though I haven't made it through them all yet

This arrived early evening, so it is ready for the morning. Interesting to compare it to the vinyl set from 50 years back.

I think it is all up on YouTube. When I returned it to the shelf I ran across this and will play it next.

This is the lp set

Lou was a sweetheart! Back in 1981 when I was chairman of the Chicago Jazz Festival, I put together a Jimmy Smith Jam and Lou was part of the band. Over rehearsals, sound check and performance I had occasion to introduce Lou to my 2 children at different times. When Lou met my second child, he chuckled and said "I feel much better now - this one is yours for sure".
