Everything is in print and in stock here. I just checked with City Hall Records (my national distributor) and they have all but one title in stock today. 

Sigh.

Thanks, Chuck. I will just have to exercise a little patience then.

August, 50th Anniversary release of Lester Bowie's "Numbers 1&2" now in house for the discerning collector wanting to hear the original program as edited for lp (on cd).

A curates egg for sure, but I had to do it.

[Chuck Nessa]

Still prepping for the big five o.

shirts will be on the website soon.

Surprising to see Revolver in the background. Or perhaps not.

[JSngry]

How big up are those t-shirts gonna fit?

[Chuck Nessa]

I'm wearing a 3x

[JSngry]

Do they size small? I'm down to a 2X if they're sized generously, but if not, a 3x will do. Hell, it'll do anyway. I like my tees loose, but not sloppy.

Please tease the tees whenever you please, please. I'm in.

Will there be a "bundle" offer for the CDs and T-shirt?

[jlhoots]

Nice ad in the Sept. DownBeat!

When does the new Roscoe Mitchell get released?

[Chuck Nessa]

First, there will be a "bundle" offer for a shirt and Numbers 1 & 2 on the website soon. FWIW, the shirts are unisex, meant to be snug around the midsection.

We are almost finished with the mix/edit of the new Roscoe - only one piece left. Pulling all the other stuff together has been a daunting task. I hope to have it available for Christmas, but am not certain.

Watch this space.

Yipes!

Numbers 1 & 2 is one of the first places I heard this music, on LP. Great to have it on CD now as well.

And I'll buy a shirt. XL.

[uli]

I'd like some t-shirts. what's the best way to order them?

[Chuck Nessa]

Shirts and a combo of shirt + Numbers 1&2 up on nessarecords.com 

[Chuck Nessa]

All orders have been shipped.

Ubu, there is a sizing chart on the website.

[BFrank]

Ordered the t-shirt and CD bundle. THANKS!

Got it yesterday - that was FAST!

[Chuck Nessa]

I have received one "complaint" about the sizing. All should be aware of this note on our website:

[JSngry]

Dave Liebman related the story of him complaining to Miles that he couldn't find anything interesting to do with some standard, like Stella or some such. Miles' advice was simple - "don't blame the tune, it's not the tune's fault".

Not expecting a problem. It's not my chest that's expanded, but if a 3X is too tight, that's not the shirt's fault, right?

 

[JSngry]

Just tried on the 3X and my worst fears were realized....it fits perfectly!

Also, new car smell and unwashed new t-shirt softness, are there two deeper yet more transient sensory pleasures to be had in this life? Other than the first line of the night, or any other such pleasure best left avoided?

[Chuck Nessa]

Great! Now I can start breathing again.

what's the shipping on a T to the UK? Website only seems to cater for US postage

Shipping out of the country is nutso expensive. A shirt alone would cost $22.50 and I would subtract the cost of shipping domestically (about $3.50). The shipping per unit comes down to a more realistic level for 3 or 4 items. If you send an email to me I can quote rates for you.

For the record  it was "I'm a Fool to Want You" and Elvin -- but the you were right on the meaning.
