Ken Dryden Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I've been busy packing for a major move, so pardon my delay today in posting the list. I'm only going to comment on the unidentified tracks. Track 1 Stephane Grappelli: Piano Explorations (Acoustic Oasis download) - Time After Time/Tea For Two Stephane Grappelli: piano https://www.discogs.com/Stephane-Grappelli-Piano-Explorations/release/13650493 Someone added a third song to the medley, which is likely there. This release was only sold as a download by Acoustic Disc and I can't access this track at the moment to check it. Track 2 John Marshall Quintet featuring Grant Stewart: Frisky (Organic Music) - Junka (composed by Sonny Clark) John Marshall: trumpet, Grant Stewart: tenor saxophone, piano, bass, drums https://www.discogs.com/release/13050088 Track 3 Jackie McLean & Co. Introducing Ray Draper & Tuba - Flickers (composed by Jackie McLean) Original Jazz Classics/Prestige https://www.discogs.com/Jackie-McLean-Introducing-Ray-Draper-Jackie-McLean-Co/release/5494213 Track 4 Trio Da Paz: Somewhere - Seven Steps To Heaven (composed by Victor Feldman, Miles Davis & M. J. Savage) Blue Toucan Music Romero Lubambo: acoustic guitar, Nilson Matta: bass, Duduka Da Fonseca: drums, percussion https://www.discogs.com/Trio-Da-Paz-Somewhere/release/7195868 This CD may not have been as widely distributed as some of their others. A great band and these musicians shine leading their own bands elsewhere. Track 5 Frank Rosolino: Turn Me Loose! - It Had To Be You (composed by Isham Jones & Gus Kahn) Frank Rosolino: trombone, Chuck Berghofer: bass, Victor Feldman: piano, Irivng Cotter: drums https://www.discogs.com/release/5329768 Track 6 Ed Bickert Quartet: I Wished On The Moon - Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me (composed by Charles McCarron, Carey Morgan & Arthur Swanstrom) Ed Bickert: guitar, Terry Clarke: drums; Steve Wallace: bass; Rich Wilkins: tenor saxophone https://www.discogs.com/The-Ed-Bickert-Quartet-I-Wished-On-The-Moon/release/12795693 I ws surprised that this track wasn't identified, but Ed Bickert was always underrated, particularly by US jazz fans. Track 7 Jesse Stacken & Kirk Knuffke: Mockingbird: The Music of Thelonious Monk & Duke Ellington - Sunset And The Mockkingbird (composed by Duke Ellington) SteepleChase Jesse Stacken: piano, Kirk Knuffke: cornet https://www.discogs.com/Jesse-Stacken-Kirk-Knuffke-Mockingbird/release/3328621 I've been very impressed with this duo's work together, while Kirk Knuffke seems to be gaining a bit more attention these days. Track 8 Lem Winchester & Benny Golson: Winchester Special - If I Were A Bell (composed by Frank Loesser) Original Jazz Classics/Prestige/New Jazz Lem Winchester: vibes, Benny Golson: tenor saxophone, Tommy Flanagan: piano, Wendell Marshall: bass; Arthur Taylor: drums https://www.discogs.com/Lem-Winchester-Benny-Golson-Winchester-Special/release/928396 Track 9 Martin Wind Quartet: Salt 'N Pepper - Turn Out The Stars (composed by Bill Evans) Martin Wind: bass, Scott Robinson: tenor saxophone, Bill Cunliffe: piano, Greg Hutchinson: drums https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=LE7u0EgM&id=C3E9BA76FA32B1F05FA10C8A4589EF4B82556954&thid=OIP.LE7u0EgMPH5lTnSRrGJawAAAAA&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2fs.cdon.com%2fmedia-dynamic%2fimages%2fproduct%2fmusic%2falbum%2fimage3%2fsalt_n_pepper_import-wind_martin_-quartet--16326339-frnt.jpg&exph=400&expw=397&q=martin+wind+quartet+salt+%27n+pepper&simid=608032252660614240&selectedIndex=0&ajaxhist=0 Martin Wind is a strong leader, though he may be better known for his work with Bill Mays, among others. Track 10 Gene Bertoncini & Frank Vignola: Meeting of the Grooves - Darn That Dream (composed by Jimmy Van Heusen & Eddie DeLange) Azica Gene Bertoncini: guitar, Frank Vignola: guitar https://www.discogs.com/Gene-Bertoncini-Meets-Frank-Vignola-Meeting-Of-The-Grooves/release/12794625 A great meeting between two virtuoso guitarists. Track 11 Ken Peplowski: Double Exposure - Segment (composed by Charlie Parker) Concord Jazz 4:32 Ken Peplowski: clarinet, Ed Bickert: guitar, John Bunch: piano, John Goldsby: bass, Terry Clarke: drums https://www.discogs.com/Ken-Peplowski-Double-Exposure/release/9189911 Track 12 Claire Daly: Movin' On - Goodbye Porkpie Hat, (composed by Charles Mingus) Koch Jazz 5:28 Claire Daly: baritone saxophone, Eli Yamin: piano, Dave Hofstra: bass, Peter GrantL drums https://www.discogs.com/Claire-Daly-Movin-On/release/6323509 With Claire Daly appearing near or at the top of many critics' polls, I thought she would be identified. Track 13 Franco D'Andrea & Francisco Cafiso: Standing Ovation At Pescara Jazz Festival 2002 - Angel Eyes (Composed by Matt Denniis & Earl Brent) Philology Franco D'Andrea: piano, Francisco Cafiso: alto saxophone https://www.discogs.com/Claire-Daly-Movin-On/release/6323509 This was the recording debut of Francesco Cafiso, who was around 12 or 13 at the time. When he was playing at the nightly late jam sessions at the 2004 IAJE (accompanied by James Williams, Ray Drummond and Ben Riley the final night), I ran into Phil Woods, who brought up his name. I admitted that I hadn't yet heard him and asked "Is he good?" Phil responded, "I'd like to break his arm." D'Andrea's work for European labels as a leader and soloist is very underrated, in my opinion. Track 14 Albert Mangelsdorff & Lee Konitz: Art of the Duo - Creole Love Call (composed by Duke Ellington), Albert Mangelsdorff: trombone, Lee Konitz: alto saxophone 3:57 https://www.discogs.com/Albert-Mangelsdorff-Lee-Konitz-Art-Of-The-Duo/release/4191150 Track 15 Aki Takase & Alex Von Schlippenbach: Piano Duets Live in Berlin 93/94 - You Are What You Is (composed by Frank Zappa) Aki Takase & Alex Von Schlippenbach: piano 5:41 https://www.discogs.com/Aki-Takase-Alex-von-Schlippenbach-Piano-Duets-Live-In-Berlin-9394/release/2746745 It's not one of Frank Zappa's more memorable compositions and it loses something without its lyric, which makes fun of people pretending to be what they aren't. In any case, it was fun running across this track in my collection and I wanted to see if anyone recognized either the song or the pianists.

Ken Dryden Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 It's been a blur for me, too. My packing process has been compilcated by the amount of stuff we have, which has grown during the five years we spent in our current residence. I will share pictures of the new music library once it is set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 I must get that Jesse Stacken and Kirk Knuffke album. That is one of the best tracks I have heard in some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
