Before moving on/back into the Epic set, I looked at recording dates vs release dates for the RCA albums. Tuns out that the last four were recorded in either 1959 or 1960, and not released until, respectively, 1962, 1963, 1964 (the last two. Epic sessions began in May of 1962 and were released in a timely manner. So....did RCA know they were losing the group and stockpiled a few sessions a la Bob Weinstein? Or was there some friction in the niceties of the RCA contract that had to be fulfilled before they could begin recording for Epic? Or just what, exactly? The movement of the JSQ from Columbia to RCA and then back again to Epic/Columbia...is classical music subject to this kind of contract variances?

Good grief, I've gone nuts. Found Gerry Mulligan Concert Band box for $33, Chet Baker and Russ Freeman for $33, JJ Johnson and Stanley Turrentine sets for $69 each

Well, then, she got it right! I should have taken her on a date to see it.

You gotta be kidding! 2.

I remembered that he played flute on the Lockjaw Cookbook albums.

Ding! Ding! I wanted to give the hint that someone had mentioned him, but not on day 2.

Jerome Richardson?

Next up:

OK, sure, I'll join ... Soul Sauce got constant play in our house when I was a young sprout, and Amazonas got a lot of play on my show, Transition, in the 70s.

Prompted by Mike's Tjader kick! I have this LP at home, but I'm not there. So it's YT for me today.

Determined to prove me wrong, aren't you. Okay, NOW he's the only guy left? It's only July 2, so I don't want to give too big a clue....

Frank Foster also played flute?

Re # 5: Normally I like Zoot Sims. Maybe it's the sound of the file that distracted me, although I have better headphone now at my computer.

Moving further away. Pretty much the only guy of this grouping that hasn't been guessed, yet. Okay, NOW he's the only guy not guessed.

My favorite cycle.

Quarteto Em Cy / Tamba Trio - Som Definitivo (Forma, BR, 1966) This four-sister group makes my hair stand on end with their astounding vocal harmonies.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk “The Case of the Three Sided Dream in Audio Color” Atlantic cd. This man. . . he was the epitome of “something else.”

I'm only starting to scan the BFT, but Bobby Jaspar came to mind as a flute candidate (not yet a guess) for #3. He's (also on tenor) on many fine '50s albums.
