Not Davis, and that is the greatest compliment you have ever given this tenor player (who is also a sideman on the date). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Glad it's not Nathan Davis, he's one of those guys who only really swings at double-or-up tempos....nothing wrong with that, necessarily, but I've not known Nathan Davis to have been one of those type players. so...back to alternating between Google and work IMs... Ok, let's try this one: https://www.discogs.com/ja/Klaus-Weiss-Quintet-On-Tour/release/10085461 The thing about it is that Mal Waldron is unmistakable, everybody else....not so much.

JSngry Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Ok, dammit, found it: https://www.discogs.com/Sangoma-Everett-Chico-Freeman-Mal-Waldron-Cecil-McBee-The-Courage-To-Listen-To-Your-Heart/release/9680455 Chico Freeman, there ya' go. David Murray syndrome, 8th note phrasing gets weird, and the tone is not consistent. When it's all good, it's all good. But it's not always all good.

I stumbled into this one in an online bargain bin. I know nothing else about Sangoma Everett, who is in quite the company on this one. You still need to get #13!

JSngry Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 and one thing on there sounds like Trudy Pitts and Pat Martino, definitely a period Prestige sound. Don't know the record, though, at least not on blind hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Trying not to look at your guys' replies. So far I've listened to the first 4 tracks - 1.1970s big band. A Latin-spirited, driving beat. Keyboardist could've been more interesting. Overall - I like it a lot. 2.Kenny Burrell. I am a fan, just not of this cut. 3.Late 1950s-early 1960s feel. A very talented classically-trained pianist, maybe Bill Evans. 4. A Blue Note style mid-1960s sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not well-known on the level of an Evans, but indeed a very talented and well-trained pianist. Recording date is actually much later. 4. A Blue Note style mid-1960s sound. This will be an interesting ID. You have the decade correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Track 8 is "Tahitian Suite" (aka "Monaco") by Kenny Dorham, from his ABC-Paramount album "Kenny Dorham and The Jazz Prophets Vol. 1." I now have this album as a Japanese CD, but originally had it as part of this twofer: Edited December 2, 2020 by mjzee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always remember Trudy Pitts because I used to work in a jazz record store with Danny Davis (of Sun Ra "fame"), who I guess was a Philadelphia guy, and he always said the name "Trudy Pitts" like it was the punchline to a bad joke.

If I had only ... then I might have finally nailed one (and gotten extra credit for it being a Felser BFT). Oh hell who I am I kidding. I could have heard it two days ago and wouldn't have placed it.
