Chuck Nessa Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Around the end of the month I will have 2 new releases. The official release date (Amazon and others) is in February. First is Charles Tyler’s Saga of the Outlaws. Members of the ensemble are Earl Cross on trumpet, Ronnie Boykins & John Ore on bass and Steve Reid on drums. This cd is only 37 minutes long but I ultimately decided adding material might distract from (what I consider) his masterpiece. I earlier tried to buy/license another title and talks broke down. We betta’ off as Lenny Bruce used to say. To compensate consumers I included some previously unpublished color pics in the 12 page booklet. If it wasn’t “one of mine”, it would still be my favorite Tyler recording. YMMV. Second is a new remastering (24 bit) of Wadada Leo Smith’s Procession of the Great Ancestry. This is the first “nessa” issue since the earlier cd was by my English licensee, Chief. The players include Bobby Naughton on vibes, Joe Fonda on bass, Kahil El Zabar on percussion with bluesman Louis Myers, bass player Mchaka Uba and tenorist John Powell added on a couple of pieces. By my listening standards if you have a Chief copy don’t replace it unless you have a great ear for upper overtones. I felt it was worth doing but it is a small upgrade. Contact me if interested and forgive the intrusion. Emails can be sent to nessarecords@charter.net . Edited January 28, 2009 by Chuck Nessa Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Boykins and Ore! two amazing bassists and interesting individuals - somewhere I have a VHS of Ore playing with Dickey Wells; Boykins worked with my friend Neloms a few times, brilliant player with the kind of old-school sound you just do not hear anymore. I sat in front of him at the old Tin Palace and thought, yow, this is how bass players used to sound - Edited January 4, 2009 by AllenLowe Quote
jazzbo Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 The Tyler is going to be great! Thanks Chuck! Quote
papsrus Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Nice. I'll be interested in the smith. Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Very excited about both of these, Chuck, esp. the Tyler (I think we talked about this title when I visited you up in Michigan circa 2003). I'll definitely be picking them up. Quote
JSngry Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 These are both long time favorites, must-haves for sure! Quote
Head Man Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Both ordered today!!! Edited January 4, 2009 by Head Man Quote
medjuck Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Chuck: please tell us the price so we can order via pay-pal. ( I don't think you need to apologize for the "intrusion".) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 $15 each postpaid in North America. Reduced postage for shipping elsewhere - $3 for one, $5 for two. Quote
1009 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Excellent news. Can we still expect the Bradford/SME reissue soon? Quote
Clunky Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Both ordered plus Roscoe Mitchell's LRG/The Maze/S II Examples for good measure ........ Quote
blajay Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 For the Tyler, forget Chuck's reissue cd, go for the LP in VG condition!! (sorry if the seller is a member here :rsmile: ) But in all seriousness, this is great news, and Chuck you can expect an order from me with some other items from your catalogue too soon! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Posted January 6, 2009 I see it is a "cut corner" promo and has some fading. If the guy had contacted me, I could have supplied a fresh cover. Probably have a few hundred around. Which reminds me - when we do reissues of lps the covers are usually recreated from scratch, not scans of old lp jackets. In this case a new scan of the cover photo, a new scan of the "burnt paper" background and scans of the original type from the original artboards. Not important to most but the best way. Quote
BeBop Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 But in all seriousness, this is great news, and Chuck you can expect an order from me with some other items from your catalogue too soon! Is there a comprehensive list of stuff Chuck is selling? Dare I ask? Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 I see the ebay item is gone. Does that mean somebody paid the "buy it now" price or was it withdrawn? Quote
1009 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I notice Dusty Groove claims the Bradford/SME disc will be out in early February. I'm wondering how accurate that is, though, as DG has been way off in their estimates lately. Lots of stuff, particularly Black Saint/Soul Note, has been what they call "Delayed," often more than a month after the date they originally claim they will have it. I love DG, but some aspects of the business drive me nuts. I wouldn't hold it against 'em except they won't let me in the store with my dog -- my wonderful, free-jazz lovin' dog. He knows better than to pee on vinyl! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Posted January 28, 2009 Saga of the Outlaws and Procession of the Great Ancestry just delivered. Orders will be mailed in the morning. Dusty Groove is jumping the gun on those other titles. Quote

J.A.W. Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 All orders have been shipped but I received an email from Houston letting me know I messed up. Hopefully everyone else received the right stuff. When will it be safe again to order? Quote
