Pim

Thanks for sharing. That’s good to hear. I’ll wait some more than. I hope he’s doing okay. He definitely needs help running the business of course. It’s so great he kees the Nimbus legacy alive but it probably takes more from him than he can take at the moment.

Thanks guys I will give it a try

One of Mals best solo albums 🥰

I payed with PayPal. I guess that means I can’t do really anything right?

I can’t say I agree. You claim that Chet lived his life the way he wanted. That sounds like he was in control of his own life while I believe a heroin addict is never in control of his life and could never live the life he wants. Sure he remained successful up till the end of his life but succes doesn’t equal happiness as so many musicians have proved. Chet was a regular visitor of the police station my father in law worked. He was in all sorts of trouble always related to drugs. He got robbed, beaten up and he ended his life by jumping out of a hotel window. That doesn’t sound like a happy person in charge of his own life. Maybe I shouldn’t have used the term sad person as that has a negative feeling. But he lived a life that could have been so much better and, though he certainly had his moments, I very much doubt if he was really happy.

Yeah I believe Matt is a sincere person definitely but maybe he’s in financial trouble. The lack of communication is definitely frustrating and a bit rude. Can’t do anything about it of course

Thanks I understand now He was such a gifted person but such a sad person. My father in law was at the police force of Bureau Warmoesstraat in Amsterdam in the ‘80’s. He doesn’t know Chet as a musician but as a junky only. He told me Chet was a sweet guy but always in trouble because of the drugs.

He was a great bass player. R.I.P.

I feel like such a fool now. Payed more than 250 dollars and ending up with zero cd's from the series. This sucks big time

Yeah I know about his lifestyle. That was pretty well documented. It was more that you sounded like you'd glorify that kind of lifestyle, like he had a great life.

Interesting stuff, some solo bass, overdubbed bass, electronics and a duet with Joachim Kuhn, one with Christof Lauer.

oh my… Billy Bang with Henry Threadgill, Ted Daniel, James Spaulding, John Hicks, Curtis Lundy and Michael Carvin. Such a beautiful record. Doi Moi 😍

Closing this year with some classics here….

I’ve noticed @david weiss presence here the last days so I take my chances again. David I own all the Cookers records but this one stands out as the very best. What a great record. I missed you guys in Rotterdam as Covid kicked in and that really sucked. The concert got cancelled. I hope you guys consider another European tour. I’d drive to Belgium or the Ruhr area of Germany to see you guys play. All the best for the coming year!

Cool stuff Felser

What do you mean with 'lived the life'?

Some more blue notes for today 💪

Prima Materia = Rashied Ali, Louie Belogenis, Allan Chase, Joe Gallant and William Parker. John Zorn is on two tracks on alto sax.

Yeah me too.
