Uncle Skid Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 My copy arrived Friday (!), and I've been listening to it more or less non-stop since then. Indeed a wonderful record. I had (almost) forgotten how much I like John Young's playing. Reminds me I need to pull out those Von Freeman titles on Nessa again soon. Paul's assessment is right on -- if you don't have it yet, take a chance. Fantastic music. Quote
Bright Moments Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 my copy received safe and sound! thanks chuck! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Posted April 30, 2011 Back home now. Pending orders will be mailed in the morning. Thanks for all the nice comments. Eddie was a special person and that's why the recording exists. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Just picked mine up from the post today. I am excited to pop it in the CD player, too. Cheers! CA Quote
Bright Moments Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 What a wonderful cd! My Wife & I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks Chuck! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Posted May 3, 2011 What a wonderful cd! My Wife & I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks Chuck! Thanks. Maybe you could try Nonaah with your wife again. Quote
king ubu Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Nonaah with your wife - can you specify on that, please? What kind of activity do we have to imagine? (edited for typo) Edited May 3, 2011 by king ubu Quote
jeffcrom Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 "Nonaah" - that's what the kids are calling it these days. Quote
soundenvelope Posted May 30, 2011 Report Posted May 30, 2011 Nessa Records is now on Facebook. The page is still a work in progress, but should, when complete, solve some of the problems around ease of access to the label and Chuck Nessa's singular body of work. Let us know what you think, and help us to connect with folks by telling your friends/colleagues about this development. Quote
GregK Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 I'm not a facebook person, and have no interest in becoming one. Would this still work for me? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Maybe not. Not the hippest fellow here. Edited June 1, 2011 by Chuck Nessa Quote
GregK Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Me neither. I did sign up for Twitter. Can I follow you on that, Chuck? Maybe I'll just email you when something comes up, as usual. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Me neither. I did sign up for Twitter. Can I follow you on that, Chuck? Maybe I'll just email you when something comes up, as usual. Rep. Weiner, I presume? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Posted June 3, 2011 Clifford Allen has a review of my Eddie Johnson reissue here. Quote
Head Man Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Clifford Allen has a review of my Eddie Johnson reissue here. What an excellent review...thanks for finding it, Chuck. I'd forgotten he guested with Kurt Elling on "Live in Chicago"...Von Freeman also appeared on that one. Easily my favourite Kurt Elling album. Quote
J.A.W. Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 How is the early Roscoe Mitchell stuff coming along? Sadly, still gathering historical information for that one. Keep your fingers crossed - the music has been mastered and sounds fine. I want the documentation to reflect the importance of the music. Any news on that one? Quote
Clunky Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Received my copy of the Eddie Johnson CD today. I've had the LP for a few years so knew what to expect. The sound of the CD is really excellent , as ever Chuck's work on remixing pays dividends the sound which was excellent to start with packs a real punch. Highly recommended Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 Thanks for the nice mention. I love this recording and hope others do too. Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 It's a beautiful album, Chuck--I've listened to it twice since picking it up yesterday at my local record store, and I'll be listening to it again in the coming week. Planning to feature it on our weekday afternoon jazz show at some point in the next month or so; thanks for recording it in the first place and putting all of the effort into reissuing it 30 years later.

ghost of miles Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Played a track off the Eddie Johnson last Friday night and will be playing more of it today on the afternoon show. Quote
