Hardbopjazz Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Back in 2010 I was given a cassette of a Sonny Stitt performance. In the 12 years since, I have not been able to identify the titles of these two numbers. I've asked a number of people, but the answers I got were not correct. Anyone here know the title of these two? https://mega.nz/folder/rgtwBJjC#lo-IfkCJU4jWDvIwZz2_2w Edited January 10, 2022 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) The first one is "Yesterdays". The second is one of Stitt's favorite blues lick -- I don't know the exact title, but usually it's called "Deuces Wild". Gene Ammons called it "New Sonny's Blues".

Hardbopjazz Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 That won’t work for a private recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I use Shazam on BFTs, once I've done the initial listening and "exhausted" all personal hunches/sleuthing. It works except for when it doesn't, which appears to be happening more and more, and not just for private recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies. 52 minutes ago, JSngry said: I use Shazam on BFTs, once I've done the initial listening and "exhausted" all personal hunches/sleuthing.

Presumably either some licensing arrangements have lapsed or recent advertising is getting in the way of core functionality. Similar for Tomtom's and, I think, even for Google, which is noticeably worse at finding results than it was five years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 The blues is called "Deuces Wild." I have it on a few CDs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
