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?

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.

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

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

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.

Robert Stewart would fit the timeline for 10.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingus_Moves no timings match exactly but...

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?

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/

ouch, just chose my selection.

Yes, Looks bad in conjunction with their appropriations of Horace Silver and Keith Jarrett. Keith's success in court does seem to fit the definition of Karma. Still, not close to a deal breaker for me. I'll grab Eminent Hipsters next time I need something else from Amazon.

Tempted by this but surprised by the number of other Steely Dan books showing up on Amazon. Are any of them better than this one? Steely Dan was an indelible part of my adolescence.

Gato on 3?

1. First thought was the Kenny Burrell Ellington Is Forever sides, but it's live, and I don't hear much guitar. Now I'm thinking JATP, maybe Illinois Jacquet, Sonny Criss and Milt Buckner? 2. And I'll go with more JATP. The high note precision at the end makes me think Cat Anderson, and wonder if another trumpet played the lyrical lead solo. More organ, maybe the same guy, maybe not. 3. Brawny romanticism on tenor, then Bass Clarinet. Ben Webster and Harry Carney?

And James Brandon Lewis returns, plus David Virelles. Charles Lloyd I missed this year because of conflict, hope to see him next year. Likewise Shabaka Hutchings. Christian McBride's New Jawn was a good show this year and returns. Rhiannon Giddens, Dave Holland, Kirk Knuffke ...

Fred Frith is on the list. Fourth line middle. Four Threadgills plus multiple Mary Halvorson is enough for me.

Have worked my way through Rollins, Hancock, Threadgill and Gil Evans recently, all pleasurable and fascinating. Santana and Springsteen in other genres.

https://joannebrackeen.bandcamp.com/album/friday-live-at-the-jazz-standard Released this May, but Bandcamp doesn't say when recorded. Listening while working on Amazon now.

I am that fool, lol Remainder of comments prepared prior to viewing this thread: Percolating rhythms are the coin of this realm. 1. Clarinets in a couple of ranges over the percolating bed, acoustic instruments and Latin-aware drumming. 2. Manteca? I don't think so, but tune definitely familiar. I'll try Jerry Gonzalez. 3. Jazz Messengers? 4. Cool bass and tenor sax unison to start. Maybe J. D. Allen? 5. Trombone with a tenor gently comping behind it. Nice effect reminiscent of what Carter-Bradford did with alto and trumpet. Dave Holland, maybe with Robin Eubanks? 6. It sounds like fluegelhorn. It's pretty. The composition is bright and cheerful. How can I not guess Art Farmer (for the dozenth time, mostly wrong) 7. Sounds like cello to me. The guitar instead of piano argues against my Pettiford and Sam Jones thoughts. Ron Carter? 8. Bone with some gentle fusion elements sneaking in, but not taking over. Tenor is likeably crude and direct. Guitar and amplified upright bass continue to straddle fusion and straight ahead. I like it. Steve Turre? 9. Feels a lot like Hampton Hawes to me. 10. Awesome solo sax. Almost has to be Sonny Rollins. 11. Joe Henderson is in the neighborhood, but didn't make that many records with acoustic piano. 12. Shows us a backbeat, then makes it percolate too. Bass Clarinet comping behind the tenor solo feels like Bennie Maupin x 2. Is it Herbie Hancock?

Replacement received, thanks Matt!

Things can change, but browsing the blurbs behind the artist list suggest that Kris Davis will be in Julian Lage's band and Mary Halvorson will be in Myra Melford's with Tomeka Reid and Ingrid Laubrock. Dave Holland New Quartet will feature Kris Davis, Jaleel Shaw, and Arooj Aftab.

https://bigearsfestival.org/ Rhiannon Giddens is back. I'm curious about Tyondai Braxton, will check out some streams on Amazon soon. I'd add Elliiot Sharp and Kirk Knuffke (with John Medeski) to the jazz highlights list. No Zorn so far. Did they hire away a copywriter from Dusty Groove? Ringdown is the new project of Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee, who between the two of them have a Pulitzer Prize in Music, a handful of Grammys, and a Best Drum Major Award from high school. An electronic cinematic pop duo from Portland, Oregon, their songs float up from the dusty record bin between Brahms and Brandi Carlile. If you took a microscope to the hammers of a 1924 vintage piano, pixelated the image, rendered it in 3D, covered it in sequins, flung it into space, and then called your first love on a rotary telephone, that’s Ringdown.

April. please
