9. his single lines really sound like they influenced bickert. canadian, huh? the guy wes endorses in that tv interview? nelson symonds (sp?)?

just a guitar player.

not good, just lucky with the selection of tunes. 3. milt jackson on guitar with ray charles. he plays with his thumb like wes. mindblowing track. did he ever record on guitar before or after?

great compilation! 1. wardell gray 3. i love this. some of my most favourite recordings feature great musicians on "second" instruments. wes on 6-string bass, sam jones on cello. john webber plays great jazz guitar too. the guitarist falls into that league. he sounds a lot like wes on that echoes of indiana blues tune. it ain't wes, but man, has he soul. he did record with wes though 4. bird on tenor 5. this is lenny breau. the way he incorporates chords into his single-lines is so sophisticated. beautiful voicings. like a joe pass with more taste. 7. that swung. purely guessing: adrian rollini on xylophone? great rhythm guitar. that sounded so fresh. 9. poorly recorded, "blanket over amp" sound. but he is good. single lines do sound a bit like bickert, but a bit more agressive. would like to hear more. 12. sonny greenwich with bickert. great record and pairing. greenwich gets such a great sound out of his appearantly cheap amp. his obvious admiration for grant green and coltrane make him very enjoyable to listen to for me. and bickert has so much taste.

yea, maybe a tad too technical for ltd. but so many dexter licks. so is it griffin then? this stuff is hard...

haven't found much time to listen yet, but 1 is dexter gordon playing confirmation. europe, mid or late sixties? no clue about the rhythm section. doesn't sound like tootie or riel on drums. never heard this before. outtakes from montmartre?

i can't even tell soprano from clarinet so i'll try the bass players 4. nhop and sam jones with catherine. sam jones is my hero. his playing has such a playful quality. nhop rises to the occasion and is on his most tasteful here. but sam's solos, oh man! 10. the elephant in the room? this should be jazz messengers but the bassist carries the drummer. not morgan on trumpet. the drummer also misses the solo pickup. so maybe an outtake? no clue. 11. another bass player with great time and feel. is it george tucker?

yes, ranglin. quite unique voice. i wasn't sureabout the protocol regarding names. is 12 some jatp recording? j j johnson on trombone?

very enjoyable selection. i'm new to this so please let me know if i'm breaking any rules. 1. i'm already out of my league. paul whiteman? very nice saxophone writing and well-recorded. no clue. 3. and no clue again. is that mingus on bass? jerome richardson on flute? 4. this is easier. very enjoyable to compare the two styles. great guitar playing too. 5. in a sentimental mood. very good singer. don't really like the tinny rhythm guitar. 7. very carribean. guitarist enjoys his chops. gotta be E.R.? 12. stardust. lionel hampton. great trombone. pre-bop alto. clark terry. hawk! 15. in a little spanish town. that was so wierd i had to google it. not sonny criss as i had thought. now it does make a little more sense. must listen and think more about the other selections. thank you!

7. is from little milton's "grits ain't groceries" 9. must be bireli, probably with hono winterstein. no clue about the singer

thank you!

it's true. he forgets his cleaning stuff inside the horn and removes it during the solo. it's clearly audible. could be somewhere on message or 2nd message. i'll go on a mobley binge this weekend and am determined to find both tracks again.

since i'm a newbie on this forum i hope i'm not out of line. i'd kindly suggest to configure the forum software in a way that deleting a thread-starting post does not delete the entire thread. i'm quite sure that almost any forum software does support such settings.

i'm pretty sure it's just the way the forum is configured. a deletion of the thread-opening post should not cancel the thread. at the very least there will be an option in the software to only allow *editing* one's posts (i.e. just deleting the content within).

agreed. this is kinda crazy.

yeah, mobley plays two beats into the new form and morgan takes hank's last lick to start his own solo. this is very common and not planned at all. the recording i can't seem to find has lee (if it's actually lee) impersonating hank for a few measures. which is quite funny iirc.

i'm pretty sure it was a 50s or very early 60s recording.

thank you all! i combed through the BN 50s, monday night at birdland, and the messages. couldn't find it. i had it on tape 25 years ago and could've sworn it was BN 1540 (mobley with byrd and morgan). but it isn't. maybe it's even mentioned in the liner notes of the record in question. furthermore it has led me to search for that other track where mobley starts his solo with the cleaning utensils still stuffed inside the horn, which he removes during the solo. can't seem to find that again either. i must really be getting old...

there is this recording where the trumpet player (lee morgan?) basically "falls in" for mobley, who misses the start of his solo. the trumpet plays a few of mobley's pet licks to call him in. i can't for the life of me remember which record that is. i always though it was BN 1540 but i can't seem to find the passage. it's driving me nuts. can anyone help me out, please?

more GG from the short rejected session on oct 27 1961

the dates are clear. the wrongly dated wilson session is just a minor detail imo. what i got from this: - a GG trio set at ronnie scott's was recorded and parts were aired by the bbc on august 20 1970. that could be worth hunting for, - GG performed in paris at least twice, maybe the other gig was recorded as well (since color cameras were there for the allstars on the same stage) -these were probably the only gigs grant played in europe in 1969.

but it can't be. the band minus grant recorded in basel on oct 29. so the earliest possible date for the paris concert would be oct 30. but the color vid of the allstars is probably correctly placed at nov 1. from the setup we see that the guitar workshop played as well. so the reuben wilson date must be wrong. i think grant flew to london last week of oct. he played ronnie scotts with the workshop at least on nov. 28. then he played two gigs in paris, one double bill with the allstars on nov 1 and another gig with the workshop maybe one or two days earlier. he then flew home while the rest travelled to copenhagen for the nov 2 gig.

but grant was in europe on oct 31 1969?
