Long story shortened - Rudy's wife was ill and he was only doing sessions for Muse and CTI, no new clients. He agreed  to "audition" me so I tagged along with Fred Seibert (producer) to the session. At the end of the session Rudy pulled out his appointment book and asked me when I wanted to record. On August 7. 1978 we recorded Roscoe Mitchell's L-R-G.

I was wondering... that gorgeous picture of the percussion set-up on the inside of the gatefold of the album surely wasn't taken at Van Gelder's?

Then I noticed it was only the piece "L-R-G", not the whole album, that was recorded there. Anyway, it's a great album and it sounds terrific.

Wow.  That's important music history right there.

I still think you should write a memoir, Chuck.  ... Or, at the very least, allow someone to conduct an extended interview (over multiple days), to capture your experiences as oral history.  ... I suppose you could even "interview yourself," Glenn Gould-style.  

It would be a valuable addition to the valuable contributions that you've already made to jazz as a producer and label owner.

Seriously.

Maybe it could be done with Larry Kart.

Pre-ordered this, got delayed, forgot about it and was surprised to receive it last weekend. Took a few spins but it is really growing on me.

I have the Unicorn edition as well. Great!

[JSngry]

Nonesuch dit at least one other Unicorn record, maybe two? Horenstien, both, iirc?

Hank Mobley's first solo album: recorded 2 weeks after Bird died. How do you think the death of Bird, influenced the session of BN 5066?

I know that Nonesuch licensed & released Horenstein's recordings of Mahler's First and Third.  There may have been more.  His Mahler Sixth also?

Horenstein's M3 may be his most famous recording, but I think his M1 is even better.  

EDIT: 
Just checked discogs.  Nonesuch also released Horenstein's M6 with the Stockholm PO.  I've never heard that one.

Don’t have that particular one but that was a great series. My favourites - Mingus, Hubbard and Kirk.

"The Dixie Sound of Jack Teagarden" Roulette stereo LP. I like this so much that I'd like to have a mono copy. My stereo is a little noisy but once the music kicks in who cares!
