    • Beethoven - String Quartet Op.130 - Vegh Quartet
    • You have.  Spot on descriptor of this pianist.  I describe him as the complete absence of bullshit -- straight soul. Yes, sir.   I'm positive you know all these guys, particularly the leader.  I love the comps to JR and PP, more testament to your great ears.  This one is the squirrel pick -- I'll be shocked if anyone has this.  All players are known, but the horn player mostly by name.   Ding!  Ding!  Yes, and perfectly stated.  This tune is a sneaky favorite, and Zoot + ballad is tough to be anything less than a winner. Not Hamp.  California, for sure (though a quick check tells me he was born in the midwest).  Not as much of a name as Hamp, but I like the comp. Indeed.  Label and player both nailed, but I'm going to wait to see if anybody gets more specific. Correct, but the band is, in fact, TJ/ML JO.  It was the writing/arrangement that grabbed me, but I also know exactly what you're saying.  Less teeth than some of their stuff. Spot on.  Literally not enough of this cut.  I could listen to every rehearsal, every outtake, and put it all on repeat and still want more. Fair point, and I agree with your assessment.  This tune is the class of the album for me, but there's really not a bad track on it.  She's a bit more mainstream contemporary than I usually gravitate to, but as you say, she's sure as hell committed. There are no surprises among the players, you know them all, but together?  I think this one becomes tough.  Every thing everyone has heard serves as a clue to ID. Correct neighborhood.  It IS Cherry.  You KNOW the tenor.  And, well, I peaked ahead and there's an ID coming. Ding! Ding!  Love this record, though of the first 3, it's #3 for me.  But with this cast, I can't NOT love it.  Dick is a personal hero of mine.  Now Is The Time is one of the most played records in my collection, and as always, your description is perfect. Back atcha, sir.  Though, I don't have AC, so maybe I'll shed a few pounds. Ding! Ding! Correct on the band.  Full disclosure, I have no track info, so I'm looking for help IDing the track.  You may well be right, but I'm really counting on the braintrust here to fill those gaps.  That. He's an easy target.    Ding!  Ding!  If there's a bad recorded moment of Mal, I don't own it, and I own a LOT of it. I think of the pianist (ID'd above) as having a lack of technique (but I don't mean that as a criticism).  He's straight to the point, zero BS.   ID'd, but I'd say a fair assessment, as he certainly left a mark on both players (and the rest of us, as well). Pianist is the reason for the pick.  While this may not be in the desert island collection, it was in the last crate left on shore. Indeed.  Soprano is a name many will recognize, but I'm not overly familiar with his work as a soloist.  This is a deep cut that will require sleuthing. Alas!  Someone has disliked a cut.  I assumed #9 would turn some off, but I'm surprised it was this one.  ID'd above as Zoot.  Suffice it to be said, we'll agree to disagree on this one.    Fair. I have a good guess as to why AT comes to mind -- spot on.  That gives us 2/3 of the band and the record label.  I smell a full ID coming. Damned near perfectly described. Band has been ID'd, and again, it was the arrangement and tune that grabbed me.  Damn!  You guys are good at this! You got Candido.  Yes, Hutch.  ID'd above.  Great guess, but not her.  She's certainly out of that school, and does it well, though.  A worthy album, but maybe more for casual listening. I don't think I'd say that, but the ingredients are here. Oh my!  Sure would!  Mostly ID'd above. Spot on.  But smoldering Bartz still gets me.   Right?  Best thing about this process for me -- the constant reminder of how little I know.
