Chuck Nessa Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Posted February 19, 2004 Chuck... bring some discs to the Dockers gig. I'll buy one, Johnny Gist will probably buy one, Joe will buy one and Randy will probably buy one, too. I need some Warne Marsh in my collection. Too soon - March 15. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I should read more carefully. I will pre-order then. Quote
Brandon Burke Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Inspired by the thread, I slapped on my LP copy on the turntable just now. This is indeed a great record! Had'nt heard it in some time. I'll be caving in for the CD as well. Quote

Had'nt heard it in some time. I'll be caving in for the CD as well. Insider info alert - you will only hear it here: In '76 I had a bitch of a time trying to make the record sound decent. I think we remixed the date 4 times. For the reissue we dumped the multi-tracks into the computer and discovered a problem. We recorded Warne's sax with 2 microphones - one top and one bottom. We discovered the 2 saxophone mikes were out of phase. We simply corrected the phasing and it sounds much better now. Quote
JSngry Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 These alternates (and one previously unissued tune, a version of "A Time For Love" - w/Levy on Rhodes(!) - that is to die for) will make your LP obsolete, and it's not very often I say that. But no, I'll not be selling mine. Memories in the artifact, doncha' know. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 That would do it! Gotta be careful about microphone placement and phase issues! Quote
relyles Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Darn. I was so happy when I came across a used copy of the LP last year. Guess I will have to take it back to the record store and order the CD. Quote

This Organissimo Forum is costing me a fortune And I love it Quote
J.A.W. Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Can't wait to have this one again. Chuck, sent you an e-mail. Quote
RDK Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 (edited) Chuck, do you have a list of all product you have (or will soon have) available? I know there was at least one other disc of yours I had me eye on, but for the life of me I can't recall what it is now. You can e-mail or PM me with it if you'd like or just post it here as I'm sure others would be interested (unless it's like a big catalog of titles or something). It's not spam if I ask for it.

Yep I'd also love to know what other 'Nessa' Cds are available - if you can let us know I'll Pm you with my order for the Warne Marsh also. Quote
Clunky Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 this is great news, email sent by the way Chuck how did you decide which alternates to include/exclude, I remember you saying that there was perhaps enough for 2 CD. I don't buy music by the kilo but just curious how these decisions are arrived at. Quote

David Williams Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Last night the clutch cable broke and I had to walk home. No use to you now, but a friend and I drove home from Brussels to London with a snapped clutch cable - putting it into 2nd then starting the ignition gets you moving (with a lurch), then you just have to choose the right speed to change gear without bothering with the clutch. Timing your approach to traffic lights becomes an art. Quote
JohnS Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 This is great news, a superb album and with extra tracks. I'll be ordering shortly. Quote
catesta Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 This looks like a good one. An email has been sent. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) by the way Chuck how did you decide which alternates to include/exclude, I remember you saying that there was perhaps enough for 2 CD. I don't buy music by the kilo but just curious how these decisions are arrived at. Excluded are (not including incomplete performances) alternates of everything on the lp with three exceptions. "A Time For Love" was attempted something like seven times, "Subconscious-Lee" was done only once (right at the end of the recording of that tune Warne told me "That's the best I ever played that tune", and "I Have A Good One For You" (you get every scrap of that one). After listening for over a year to all the tapes I decided I could get the "meat" onto one disc and a single disc would sell better than a set. The cd includes a note from me about this and I will post it below, as well as the tracks and times. PRODUCERS NOTE Before the sessions Warne told me he would record one tune each by Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz and himself from his New York days. He also said they would do a ballad, a blues and Lou had a tune (Lunarcy). Lastly, he was working on the changes of It’s You Or No One and wanted to record it too. He said “I have a good one for you”. Lou asked me to rent an electric piano because he wished to use it for a recording of Johnny Mandel’s A Time For Love. The electric piano turned out to be defective and generated random static on all takes. We performed a salvage job on one of them for this issue, but some noise remains. We have included the initial take of On Purpose (complete with a shaky ending) to show the transformation from first to final version. On the first day of recording we started with a performance of Lunarcy and then Warne launched into a series of takes of his “good one”. We have included all versions of this piece at the end of the disc so you can loop back to the final master (track 1). I Have A Good One For You was the first piece recorded on the second day in the studio. They nailed that one. TRACK LISTING (the first 7 tracks are the lp sequence) 1 I Have A Good One For You (take 13) 5:29 2 Background Music (take 24) 4:32 3 On Purpose (take 16) 7:07 4 317 E. 32nd (take 22) 6:57 5 Lunarcy (take 25) 9:02 6 Easy Living (take 28) 4:09 7 Subconcious-Lee (take 18) 5:04 8 On Purpose (alt take 14) 5:44 9 A Time For Love (take 8) 5:20 10 I Have A Good One (false starts tk 2 & 3) 0:47 11 I Have A Good One (take 4) 6:48 12 I Have A Good One (take 5) 5:29 13 I Have A Good One (take 6) 5:49 14 I Have A Good One (take 9) 5:55 I forgot to add: Tracks 9-14 recorded on Friday, Feb 20 and the rest on Feb 21. EDIT NOTE: I see I previously reversed the dates. Sorry. I hope this information helps you understand my programming decisions. Edited February 22, 2004 by Chuck Nessa Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Can't wait to hear this... Quote
paul secor Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Sent a check today. Thanks for releasing this, Chuck. Hope you're back on the road again. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Posted February 20, 2004 Ya' can't get this crap on AAJ or Jazz Corner. Thanks Jim. Quote
garthsj Posted February 20, 2004 Report Posted February 20, 2004 Chuck .. My check left Houston this morning ... the CD will be a welcome replacement for the LP I once owned. Thanks for all the care you took with this ... Now... the important question .. what is your next project..? We wait with bated breath. Garth, Houston. Quote
Clunky Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 (edited) I saw for the first time an LP copy of Allmusic today and was surprised by the cover which was very purple and totally unlike the blue and b&w of Chucks occasional avatar of "All Music". Are we getting purple or blue? Edited February 21, 2004 by Clunky Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Posted February 21, 2004 You will be getting a variation on the purple. The black and blue was an early experiment. I have been trying to upload a "corrected" avatar for a while but the system rejects it. Not sure what the problem is. Quote
