Chuck Nessa Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks Hans. That address works for Paypal too. Folks off the North American continent can email me for postage reduced by the US rates. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 All orders have been shipped. Thanks. I still have more. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Got mine last evening. Thanks Chuck! Quote
medjuck Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Got mine yesterday and listened to Mitchell in the car while I drove to LA this morning. Good stuff! Quote
ep1str0phy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 I'd just like to the point out that I obtained a copy of the Bradford/Stevens disc yesterday, and the sound is phenomenal. I hadn't heard these sessions, but I am familiar with other recordings by iterations of this band, and this is clearly the only time I think I've ever really heard the sonic "impact" of the group. Julie Tippetts and Ron Herman are, here, lucid and animate in a way that I had not anticipated; I recall a review of the RVG of Dolphy's Out to Lunch that referred to the sound of Richard Davis's bass as "holographic," and that certainly applies to the voice and bass on this recording. Better still is that, especially in comparison to some of the musically fantastic but sonically dreadful Stevens/Watts reissues that have cropped up out of FMR, the drums have a more noticeable punch and dynamism. I didn't think it was possible for a remastering job to so totally affect the way that I hear a group of musicians, but just on first impressions I may prop this up next to No Fear and the first Amalgam disc as my favorite "aggressive" John Stevens album.

sal Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Chuck, any chance you could post the large cover art files for your reissues in this thread, like you did for the Charles Tyler and Leo Smith reissues that came out earlier this year? Those were nice to use for itunes and the ipod cover art. Thanks! By the way, I'm greatly enjoying Congliptious...great music! Can't wait for the Bowie. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Posted August 11, 2009 You can find good jpegs of everything by executing a label search at City Hall. Just click on the item you want and click the small pic for a larger version. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Been swamped, Chuck, but don't worry: reviews will be live by August's end. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 The re-mastering of the solo pieces, even from the box set, on the Roscoe is fairly amazing. If you compare the original lp versions, with all that tape bleed through, especially on the solo saxophone piece, to this new version -- it puts the attention back on the music which, like a few of the performances on Nonaah, are great examples of Mitchell taking a simple theme and abstracting it to overblown proportions and then returning to ground, with a purity and control that belies the chop stretching, non-standard techniques which just tumbled by.

J.A.W. Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Any news yet on the upcoming discs? Or did I miss something? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Posted September 26, 2009 We have been fighting with the printer over the proofs of the Bowie and Smith releases. Finally gave the "go ahead" today. These should be in stock in 2 weeks. The new Von Freeman should follow shortly. Quote

king ubu Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 That's great news Chuck! I'll wait and order the Smith once the Freeman's around (you guys will be in for a real treat!!!) - got everything else that's available otherwise! (Except for Mitchell/Bowie, I'll stick with my AEC box) Quote
papsrus Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 I'm interested in the Smith. I've noticed your excitement about the Freeman lately. Both look intriguing. Quote
relyles Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 It seems that Chuck has been hinting and a couple of people have some inside information regarding an upcoming new Von Freeman recording. Are there any details that can be shared publicly at this time? I am ready to pre-order now! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Posted October 1, 2009 This should be available in about a month. "Chicago saxophone legend Von Freeman took his working band to Europe for a triumphant appearance at Jazzfest Berlin, Halloween night, 2002. This recording contains the complete performance of his New Apartment Lounge Quartet from that evening. Festival artistic director John Corbett described the performance as 'a stunning toboggan ride of a concert, bringing some of the funky intimacy of the Chicago club to the German city'. He added 'Over the course of four long pieces, Freeman established his authority without question'." Recorded at Jazzfest Berlin, October 31, 2002 w/ Mike Allemana - guitar, Jack Zara - bass and Michael Raynor - drums The quartet plays Vonski Speaks, Darn That Dream, Summertime and Blues for Sunnyland.

relyles Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for the info. Looking forward to it. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 I was late and caught the tail end of that performance in Berlin. It was awesome. And to think I was mostly there for the Total Music Meeting at Podewil... Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks, Chuck! Definitely looking forward to this one... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 3, 2009 Report Posted October 3, 2009 Oh, put me down for the new Von Freeman. With knobs on! MG Quote
