Meant to post this earlier, but track #3 is Cuckoo Around the Clock by George Wallington. Correct.

Lots of progress made. Track ID Status Recap Artist / Title / Recording 1. Buster Bailey / ? / ? 2. Jimmy Lunceford / ? / ? 3. George Wallington / Cuckoo Around the Clock / 4. Lucky Thompson / Why Do I Love You / Plays Jerome Kern And No More 5. Friedrich Gulda / Innefable / Riverbed 6. Pete LaRoca / Marjoun / Turkish Women At the Bath 7. Buddy Montgomery / Personage-Wes / The Two-Sided Album 8. Sun Ra / ? / Pathways to Unknown Worlds / 9. 10. Junior Cook / Take the Coltrane / ? 11. 12. Jim Beard / ? / Song of the Sun 13. Johnny Griffin Steve Grossman / Taurus People / Johnny Griffin Steve Grossman Surprised #2 and #3 haven't been ID'd yet. Happy to see Junior Cook ID'd. I knew the other ID'd tracks wouldn't be a problem. But does anyone have #7? Great record! I also thought some of you might have some awareness of #11. I came across several musicians who were familiar with this music before I was. I don't expect anyone to ID #9, but hope you are intrigued enough to find out. Ditto #11.

Ira Gitler was in Friday to review for JazzInside magazine. Helen Merrill came by last night. Enjoyable weekend overall.

I felt his sound was never the same when he went from the King Super 20 to the Selmer.

I know it's early going, but I hope the other downloaders chime in before all the tracks are identified!

Just a few comments about your comments:

Ready, set, go... I hope everyone is able to download and listen to your heart's content. If there are still problems with the links, someone just shoot me.

Discs went out yesterday.

I don't know what the problem is. When I look at the PMs I sent, the links work just fine. Here are the links once again: Listen now mp3 folder Large files: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Any more takers before I send out links tomorrow?

The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) is a must.

...seems like it's been a while...

Come by if you're in town... OCTOBER 1 & 2 MICHAEL WEISS TRIO MIchael Weiss - piano George Mraz - bass Dennis Mackrel - drums Kitano New York 66 Park Avenue Sets at 8 and 10 p.m. Reservations: (212) 885-7119 Originals, standards and a few Thad

Duly noted. This BFT covers a span of over sixty years so there's something for everyone. Don't be bashful...

Thanks y'all. Keep 'em comin'.

This is a small, somewhat eclectic assortment of a few favorite things - not deliberately designed to stump the contestant (no Charles McPherson on tenor or Idrees Sulieman on alto). I'm sure many tracks will be easy to identify for some, but hopefully a few will be pleasant discoveries. Unfortunately most of the selections are from my less than pristine LPs, so if a little LP surface noise is intolerable to you, better to skip this one. Thanks for participating in my first BFT. Download or disc as you wish.

Priceless. Budd Johnson is playing his ass off.

I don't know about anybody else but I had a good time.
