Chuck Nessa

Looks like you could use a few hours working out with a rake to me.

Earl Hines, Pete Johnson, James P Johnson BN 78s. Great stuff. Not sure if it was on the old group or the early days of this board, but someone was searching for this title and I said I knew where a copy of this resided. The searchee contacted the store and they could not find it. Today I found it and bought it. If that person is here they can have it for the $10.47 I paid plus postage. Let me know.

I can offer some info about the Art Ensemble name. As stated earlier, Roscoe started calling his group the Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble in late 1966. The first evidence is a concert flyer I have from a 12/3/66 concert at the Harper Theater. This group was the quartet with Phillip Wilson. Phillip left the group, we recorded without a drummer in '67 (under Lester's name - for contractual reasons) and in early '68 with Bob Crowder playing drums. This second record was billed as the Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble. By October of '68 my job took me out of Chicago and I lost day-to-day contact with the guys. Sometime in very late '68 or early '69 Roscoe asked Jarman to join the group. Two members of Joseph's quartet had died (Christopher Gaddy and Charles Clark), and he was "adrift". Roscoe had already made the RM Art Ensemble a cooperative group, and when Joseph came aboard he dropped his name. This group had a fine following in Chicago, but they wanted to move on to bigger and better things - they had already tried NY but didn't think the fit was right. They left for Europe in the late spring of 1969, at the suggestion of Steve McCall. Steve was in Paris playing with Steve Lacy and Marion Brown.

Gimme hairy asses and floatation devices and I'll be right there to validate my American citizenship!

Look like the Hankster has to go pee.

If you have any interest in Nielsen, I suggest you go to the Berkshire Record Outlet site and order the 6 symphonies for $12. This is a terrific set. The 6th, which depicts the composer's heart attack, will haunt you.

Many of Roscoe Mitchell's compositions carry names resulting from his fascination with "sound". He likes to experiment with verbal sounds as well a musical.

Check out Couw's Animated Album Covers thread. Late again.

Reece And The Smooth Ones and Nice Guys should be added to the list. If you are not aware of it, you should check out Jack Lefton's AEC site HERE.

It sounds like the prelude to a train wreck to me.

My Patton Select is number 0006, same at the catalog number. Concerning the sequence of the Mulligan set, Cuscuna took so much crap about mixing alternates with "album sequences" he stopped doing it.

I suggest Jim collect credit card numbers and hit us for a quarter each time we post to a topic, a buck for a posting to the political forum and five for inserting political stuff in a music topic.

As long as the web lacks a King Oliver site, you got no complaints in my book.

Bach's Well Tempered Clavier and work up from there through 250+ years of fantastic music. You can get a very good (piano) version of this on 2 Naxos doubles for little money. You can go back further if you want to find earlier styles which you might connect with Ornette, Ayler, AEC, etc. Machaut is a bitch.

Well, this is off topic but Thurs and Fri I am in the studio putting this together. It will be out around Feb.

I take it the cup mentioned is a pouch for young, privy to mammals down under.

Did you check yourself out?

Referring to the David Wild website to refresh my memory. Trane was ill in the latter part of '66 which explains the lack of recordings. While working at the Jazz Record Mart, a customer asked to hear ASCENSION and I put it on the turntable. I noticed it was a different take than the one I knew. I grabbed the record and ran to the Down Beat office to see Don DeMichael. Don was the editor and a good friend. He'd heard nothing of the two takes and said "Lets call John". He placed the call, got the news Coltrane was in the hospital, and placed a call to JC there. We were both on the phone and mentioned the discovery. Coltrane said the change was at his request - he thought the others played better on the "new" take. I said I thought his solo was better on the other one and he said that didn't matter. After talking to Coltrane, DeMichael called Leroi Jones and told him of my discovery. Jones (then a regular DN columnist) asked for an exclusive, and he subsequently produced a story.

This is my favorite post '60s Jordan date. I still have it on vinyl. His reading of the Lord's Prayer is worth the price of admission (in typical bebopper style, Clifford changed the title and claimed copyright ) - all the rest are "bonus tracks" for me.

Have you tried getting tech data sheets from resin suppliers, such as Dow and Chevron? A Google search for PVC resins may help.

The 2 VeeJay dates flank Leeway as well.

Mucho danke for the place.

Check out his SteepleChase date with Tete.

When I arrived on the Chicago jazz scene in 1966, a story currently circulating was about Peggy's poodle getting lost in her hotel. The story was - her beloved doggie had gone missing and she asembled the hotel staff. She promised a night in bed to the returnee. A lowly janitor returned the dog and was paid.

It would be a gift to MANkind if someone posted a list of these porn searching women.
