Chuck Nessa

Steve Nelson-Raney/Jon Mueller "Cutting Off the Edge of Time" Steve Nelson-Raney/Gary Verkade " Improvisations for Organ and Saxophone"

Yeah, I love Zim, but Pedro's take down was fair.

Delmark issued a second disc from this session called "Black Forrest". Both worth the money.

Did you really get it that fast?

Good Time Jazz GTJCD-10035.

Coltrane ALWAYS recorded with an organ.

No details about the death, but Carl has been very ill for a while.

I used to have a nice Joe Turner lp on Black and Blue. It was a trio date with Jo Jones. The Solo Art recording, which debuted on the 77 label was much more exciting.

Day In, Day Out is a bonus cut on I'm Movin' On.

EMusic has new ownership.

I would put that session at, or near the bottom of his BN dates.

So, you've changed schools. How's it going? I was thinking about you today. Oh yeah, nice list.

If that doesn't work, try Goo Gone. You can buy a bottle at any food or drug store. It is also great for getting all sticky crap off jewel boxes.

I've ordered a number of times and have never had a problem.

I think they are inflatable.

The front cover of my New York pressing had STEREO inside the logo. Later pressings had the stereo at the top of the jacket.

I suggest you stay away from the stuff on my label.

He may have played at the Hungry Eye, but my memories are further north on Wells St. for the "regular" gig.

As I understand it, BN pays a royalty to all artists/estates for everything sold. It is the responsibility of the artists/estates to inform the label of their current address and rightful status. Remember Tom's story about finding Jutta Hipp and delivering the check. Musicians "always" say they don't get anything. Believe me, deciding where to send the money is no easy question. I have had problems and I only started my label in 1967. I have at least 4 estates in dispute, and only 2 have contacted me. The above concerns "artist royalty" only - composer royalty is automatic to the Fox agency and they must hold tons of money waiting for the correct address/heir.

The Gene Shaw gigs Larry mentions were after 1966 (not sure when). The band included an organ and I'm not sure there was a bass player. Just can't remember beyond trumpet and organ. No other horns.

Time to pick a small nit. There are/were actually two variations. The vertical one JohnS describes is really the hubkawall. I've seen a version of this about 7 ft tall and 10 ft long. The hubkaphone was a smaller collection of caps suspended horizontally on a frame - and is played like a vibraphone.

ditto

A guy named August Blume, either a writer or a fan who basically just invited Coltrane over to have dinner w/him & his family after seeing him gig in D.C. (Heh--can you imagine?) August (aka Augie) Blume was a long time music biz guy. He worked for RCA for a while, and also worked for Jefferson Airplane.

Outstanding!

If you can find it, Donald Lambert's first Pumpkin lp has an unbelievable version of The Trolley Song. I also want to second the recommendation of the Joe Turner Solo Art disc.
