I love love love this bft! I hear interesting things in every track. and I feel completetly at ease with #2, #3, #8 and #11.
#1 is nice as well. bop&bossa structure, blue note spirit, but a very special recording. early 60s? tenor sounds like mobley.
#2 love this but don't have any clue. a friend of mine thinks that the trumpet player could be hannibal. I really dig the tenor man. the percussion orgy is terrific (2 drums, 2 basses & conga ?).
#3 got this one - it's track 9 from here. first idea was blackwell/cherry (of course). and I couldn't dismiss blackwell. haven't heard smith so fluent & soulful so far.
#5 don't like the living room sound and the theme, but really love the sax/drum duet. maybe cyrille on the drums?
#6 now it gets funky. drummer gives a clear jeff-tain-watts-post-m'base-signal, but the instrumentation is very original and non-m'basian. piano is somehow conventional, bass clarinet & trumpet (cornet?) are diggin deeper. wild guess is marty ehrlich, but maybe it's something european?
#8 this drives me crazy. is it james carter? or older? great, inspired live performance.
#11 I have this record and love it (track 1 from here). this piece gives me vertigo, tabbal is in great form and the guitar is really special. it's the only jazz record I have with a prize-winning composition ;-)
#12 nice as well. sounds very much like dave holland, but nothing fits.
#13 very simple & sweet. reminds me of amina claudine myers' solo piano record, but I know that's wrong.
thanks so much for this mix. can't wait to find out more about it.
