    Are you Canadian?  You got three out of 4 of the Canadian guitar players.  And 4 out of 5 of the guitar players. 

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

  2. 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.

     

     

  3. 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?

  4. i can't even tell soprano from clarinet so i'll try the bass players :rolleyes:

    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?

    Glad you're enjoying it!

    1: Not Paul Whiteman.

    3: Not Mingus, not Richardson.

    7: If E.R. is Ernest Ranglin, you are correct!  He is not the leader (perhaps co-leader).

    12.  Wow, you nailed that - I thought it would be one of the more obscure selections.

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

  6. 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!

    huh?

    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.

  8. 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.

    Just to make it clear, the only "power" over a thread that a non-moderator has is to delete their opening post. Any poster has the ability to delete their own post, of course, but when an opening post is deleted, it takes the whole thread with it. Seeing as how that's where the topic title and whatever database markers reside, I don't see how it could be otherwise.

    I agree it seems like a pissy thing to do, to open a thread and then delete it after it's gotten all conversational and shit, but afaik, the only other options are for the OP to delete the contents of the post but leave the thread open. A request to lock the thread can be placed, of course, but a perception of petulance about the direction a conversation has taken, all of it within board guidelines, is not enough to lock a thread, imo.

    This database shit, I understand very little of it, but I do know that this "power" to delete a thread resides in the hands of the user, not the software. Unless you want to have a system where nobody except a moderator can delete anything once posted, then this is how it's going to be.

     

     

    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). 

  10. 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.

  11. 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...

  12. 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?

    Resonance is releasing another CD culled from unreleased1966 radio broadcast recordings at the Penthouse. The first CD featured the Three Sounds.  

    I wonder if Grant Green toured in Seattle in 1960s and was recorded at the Penthouse.  Anyone know?

    Someone i know has a list of all the bands that played there. no grant but the montgomery bros performed there in 1962.

     

  14. 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.

    Well that would make sense then. Carryin On was recorded on Oct 3. Is it the liner notes to that one that mentions GG has just returned from playing a guitar workshop in Europe? If the Ronnie Scott date of 24th Oct is correct, it makes sense the Paris film was made sometime in the last week of Oct before Green may have returned to New Yorkand participated in the Reuben Wilson 45 session, if indeed the date of that session is correct. So maybe GG was only in Paris and London for a week or a few days, while Burrell and Kessell (who was living in London at the time if I'm not mistaken) remained for the body of the tour? Interestingly Grant plays I Dont Want Nothing in Paris, which he has freshly recorded for the Carryin On album a few weeks earlier. I'm assuming the Carryin On album hadn't hit the streets until after the Guitar Workshop gigs? All this is conjecture at any rate?

    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.

    Not so odd, either they were trying to do an album and it really didn't go well, or (more likely) they were cutting a single and it wasn't issued at the time but was later added to the earlier album Love Bug (which has identical personnel IIRC) as a CD bonus track (after having been first issued on the Lost Grooves compilation. Best Sam & Dave cover on BN?

    but grant was in europe on oct 31 1969?
