shnaggletooth Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) This is from an unlabeled 78 reference disc I have, but I don't have a clue who it is. Sounds like something that might have been done in the late 50's/early 60's for some off-off-Broadway beatnik play: DivShare File - excerpt from unknown.mp3 Edited October 10, 2009 by shnaggletooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 It's an early Kenny G recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Tony Scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnaggletooth Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Tony Scott? I gave a listen to some Tony Scott excerpts on the Amazon site, but I couldn't find anything that sounded like the piece. Here's a more conventional piece that might be easier to ID. It's from an acetate labeled "Body and Soul" (with "Drum solo" written on the reverse side). I think it's Coleman Hawkins, but that's my own barely-educated guess. The distortion is from the original recording source: http://www.divshare.com/download/8862940-f6b Edited October 11, 2009 by shnaggletooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 My first thought was early Moondog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Brown Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 The first sample could be early Sun Ra. The second is definitely NOT Coleman Hawkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 The first sample could be early Sun Ra. FWIW , that was my initial reaction as well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnaggletooth Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sun Ra and Moondog seem to fit that kind of music. Why or why couldn't whoever prepared the disc (either one) take the extra one second and write down the performers' names? On the same topic of mysterious acetate discs, here's an older thread of mine concerning an alleged "Charlie Parker" recording. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of that mystery.
