Here are my responses to this BFT. I will now read the other responses. I have cement in my ears. 

 

 

1 – Conformation. Just a guess, is this Clifford Jordan on tenor?  The tenor sound reminds me of him. I don’t know what recording this is. I have just about all his recordings so this is something new to me if it is him.

That's some high quality cement, because you are spot on.

2 -  70’s jazz. No idea who it is.

I like where your ears went, but actually late 60s (though, without question, these are some of the founders of that sound).

3 – no clue.

 

4 – another one I have no clue.

Both lean towards the Avant Garde.

5 – I have led in my ears. No clue on this. I like the tenor player.

No, this is a tough one.

6 – The bone player is real good. Once again I can’t ID anyone.

 

7 – Soprano player has a nice tone. The tune sounds familiar but changed up a lot, but I don’t recall the title or any of the musicians.

I think a lot of people are going to hear this that way (they usually do).

8 – Just guessing. Could this be the Charles Tolliver Orchestra?  Charles on trumpet.

Again, high quality cement, my good man!

9 – Sounds like James Carter. Can’t mistake his sound, but I don’t know recording.

Correct, sir!

10 – No clue.

Safe to say you don't lean towards the avant garde?

11 -  Don’t know this.  I like the tenor player on this one. He/She has good range, high and low of the sax.

 

Agreed.  Thanks for the input.  I dare say you did better than you seemed to think.

Thank YOU for the thoughtful responses.  You did about as well as anyone who didn't receive a personal invite (and only one of those four has participated, privately; and he cleaned up).

Thom, did you promise this person who participated privately, and cleaned up, that you would not share with us, his or her comments? If they "cleaned up," I would be very curious to read what they have to say. So many of these tracks are great, and not yet identified.

He didn't want to play spoiler (it's my father).  I'll bug him to post next week.  If he doesn't, I'll share his answers (I'm not afraid).

[Hot Ptah]

Oh that explains why the person cleaned up. Your father is in the know.

Is that George Adams on 11?

Negative, but boy, that'd be a nice addition to that lineup!

[Hot Ptah]

So do we get to read your father's answers?

It is almost the end of the month!

Dad's responses:

First listen responses to your BF test:
1-CJ at the Pudding '88 
2-Uptown Conversation with Ron Carter, Hubert Laws, Hancock, Tate
3-Riff-Raff- Frank Lowe,ts, maybe Moncur or Joe Bowie,tb? 
4-Equal Time
5-Not a clue; regional players? not too heavy
6-Tb-led post bop, nice tune, tricky head
7-Unknown ss/p duet Charles Lloyd influence (yawn)
8-Plight Tolliver big band Impact cd
9-James Carter? Nice, tight unit
10-Last of the Hipmen, great Threadgill, Murray Octet
11-Unknown tenor, nice, measured solo

Then, 

Is it Curtis Clark on 7&11? If so, whose the tenor?
My first thought on #6 was Frank Lacy but wasn't sure enough to even say maybe?
