Christiern Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 She probably meant well, but her obsession with feminism got in her way. Sorry to say this, but Rosetta was not a very nice person and we really could have done without her Rosetta label and, especially, the revisionist liner notes she wrote. I send out my sympathy to Rosetta's family, especially her daughter, Rebecca, whom I got to know when she worked for Dave Chertok. Now here's aa case where the apple fell far from the tree. Okay, Valerie, you can pound me into the ground now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, Valerie, you can pound me into the ground now. I met Rosetta at a jazz convention some years ago, just around the time she was launching the Rosetta label. She knew I had a store, and was giving me the hard sell, which really put me off. Her records contained a lot of fine music, even if the liner notes were over the top.

AllenLowe Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 true enough re-the notes (awful stuff) - however, some of the best transfers of a lot of 78s, plus a whole LP of Lil Green - she used Carl Seltzer, who has since died, and he was one of the best - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
