  4. Slight update from website using above link: 2/23: Volume 11 just landed here at HQ today and Volume 8 should be here in the next day or two. We're currently preparing orders, and as soon as Vol. 8 arrives, we will begin shipping. Planning for this round to be all shipped by the end of next week. Thank you again to all subscribers and listeners of the series - We truly appreciate your patience during the delays. The Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra live at IUCC series is a monumental set of unheard recordings from 1978-80. Recorded live at the Immanuel United Church of Christ in south central LA, this is the Arkestra in its purest, rawest, and most adventurous form. The next 3 volumes are planned for shipment mid-March. We can't wait to share the remainder of the series in the coming weeks. Check back here for bi-weekly(ish) updates Bright Moments, NIMBUS WEST
  5. @DanGould Big band with some tasteful wah-wah guitar, so mid 60s or later, probably not 90s or later. @DrJ Thought of Westbrooks, but remember comments that Kate's voice was edgy, and this one isn't. Then I thought of Herbie's The River, but those don't sound like Joni lyrics @Felser I think the tenor is Billy Harper (high praise). @Joe This segued into the next tune so well I had to wonder if you planned it!. Jimmy Guiffre? @JSngry The tradition in all it's vitality. Illinois Jacquet? @KenDryden Swinging the pipe organ behind a primo tenor. @medjuk Is that cowbell? Infectious rhythm and alto lead voice. @mikeweil Brazilian sounding treatment of classic bebop (Well You Needn't?? no. Night in Tunisia?? I don't think so .... aaarggh!) @mjzee Not the tune by this name, but it is Kinda Dukish @tkeith Fiddle and bone sharing the spotlight. Billy Bang?
  6. A mere formality, since everyone knew it instantly! RandyHersom: Roy Haynes Quartet - Moon River from Out of the Afternoon, Impulse Rahsaan Roland Kirk - reeds Henry Grimes - Bass Tommy Flanagan - Piano Roy - Drums
  7. Side B track 1 The Count on Rush Street
  8. Big Al - Smooth wind arrangement behind piano Dan Gould - The slickness of the arrangement had me thinking Dule Pearson for moment, but I think the bluesy tenor is probably the leader. danasgoodstuff - solo piano, perhaps more than one. Is this The Wind Cries Mary from Three Pianos for Jimi Dub Modal - Bop. When I hear Bird-like facility in a later recording I think Sonny Stitt or Charles McPherson Eric - First thought was Dolphy, but I'm thinking Jackie McLean mjazzg - hypnotic, probably the bassman's date. Buster Williams? randyhersom - TD is right. Rooster-Ties - I felt sure the tenor was Wayne, but the band was more Crossings era Herbie sidewinder - Billy Harper? webbcity - composition reminds me a little of Ted Curson's Quicksand
  9. I identified the trio version of Snake Johnson on another BFT some time back, but even on relisten it doesn't feel like the same composition. Both great, but very different.
  10. I was mainly thinking of who the vocalist could be.
  11. Could #1 be the Clayton Brothers?
  12. Very much so. I sleuthed Fungii Mama with a Google Search and streamed the album. If I compare a player to Tatum, I'm definitely not saying they suck! Anyway good session from younger players that left us too soon. I pronounce this a no clinkers BFT.
  13. 1. I was thinking Gerald Wilson until the scat vocal. Pretty sure it's not Jon Hendricks or even Mel Torme. Not Diz or Joe Carroll. 2. Bass sound puts this late 70's or later, probably much later. It's so out front that this may be the bass player's date. Ray Brown? The solo traded fours about 5 minutes are great 3. Oliver Nelson? I like the skronky tenor comments just after the opening theme. 4. Liking Sonny Rollins more than Dexter Gordon as a guess. 5. Maybe Art Tatum and Sweets Edison on Pablo? No, it's live. 6. Not thinking of any sessions with Kenny Dorham and a baritone at this time. 7. The pre-JOS organ sound. I'll go with Bill Doggett over Milt Buckner. Could be a later Black and Blue session. 8. Now's the Time aka The Hucklebuck. Tenor led, so not Bird. Johnny Griffin and Lockjaw? 9. A bit of calypso feel. If it isn't Sonny Rollins, it's someone who went to school on him. 10. Is it Bird or is it Stitt? Maybe even Charles McPherson. I think Stitt. 11. A Night in Tunisia. Gene Harris on Concord? 12. Could this be from the first couple disks of the Curtis Amy Mosaic Select 13. Excellent tenor plays Misty. Getz and Barron?
  14. Amazon Music streaming has the two albums pictured above as well as one other one he mentioned here, My Museum. There's also three by the Hughes Smith quintet with Phil Kelly. I'm guessing it's our Phil Kelly. RIP and props.

  16. James Brandon Lewis has commented on Mark Forman's post mourning the passing of Philadelphia saxophonist Carl Grubbs. https://www.facebook.com/mark.forman.3?__cft__[0]=AZWQZUqccOk8X6_FjIFVewT6JTJfKMsR6GFGpgH11UNc7qAhwQelbZ1Y46zBwJoEvIqOHO8k-8Lh6gWKWGWgKH3uR5Jj93TFIOD93subcMBkzazjfLsHAnJWNHRt5yCF0Vypl564_7cXs2mtScBFYMqluqxR4GVZuycCUhnRtOWN7tArUZF_R917kYAdiiuexBkjlyyvbe-gAfrXVrJBBRAX&__tn__=-UC%2CP-y-R
  17. If you do downloads, this is an exceptional value: https://www.amazon.com/2-Ts-Lovely-Cecil-Taylor/dp/B00008UVCH/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
  18. I hear two pianos so I'm fairly confident Zita plays on this, one of two tracks she is on on Zoning. The CD Zoning reissue had a different track length (3 seconds longer) than the LP. I think this is that.
  19. Robert Stewart would fit the timeline for 10.
  20. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingus_Moves no timings match exactly but...
  21. And now it's my turn, lol 237 1. R&B organ workout 2. Woody Shaw circa Blackstone Legacy? No, there's an organ. Larry Young's Mothership album? 3. Pretty sure this is Sam Rivers. The question is early Blue Note with Bobby Hutcherson or later with Bryan Carrott. I kinda think the bone is Julian Priester, so later... But that alto solo screams Dolphy to me. And there's a Bari too! Got to drop all the other names but Bobby and say this is from Andrew Hill's Point of Departure. 4. Later McCoy Tyner? Maybe the album he made with Mike Brecker?, No, no guitar on that one. Not McCoy then, the pianist basks in the influence but has a lighter touch. I'll throw out Joe Henderson as a guess, but can't get a handle on who the piano is. Feel like I should know. 5. Vocalist that I don't recognize. Good band. 6. Has the seventies Blue Note feel. Herbie Hancock? 7. Gotta be Pullen-Adams 8. Composition feels like Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes. Jackie McLean? If I'm right about Jackie I may be wrong about Andrew. 9. You Caught Me Smiling. Pop styled vocals over a jazz informed R&B groove. 10. There's a Love Supreme quote in there in the seventh minute. Billy Harper? Not as cutting edge as Black Saint. 11. More vocals, with electric piano and bass and organ. 12. Woody Shaw circa Blackstone Legacy?
  22. Tony last posted in 2017, but lurked in March 2022. Fortunately Ancestry and Genealogy Bank found no evidence of a recent loss. I suggest we call it Tribute rather than Memorial. Even better news - latest customer appreciation was in September! https://health.ucdavis.edu/medical-center/team/456/anthony-jerant---family-and-community-medicine-sacramento/
