Poor Tyner! Identified solely as "/etc."

When I saw the Horace Silver Quintet in 1969 it was Cobham on drums and the Brecker brothers in the front line. I don't think they made a record with exactly this lineup.

First impressions (too lazy to do research) are that while there was jazz in California in the 1950s that you would think of as distinctly black (note that album title) and some which has always been thought of as white (e.g. Lennie Niehaus sessions) there was a great deal of mixing when it came to the musicians (e.g. Leroy Vinnegar was everywhere on those predominantly white Contemporary sessions). On the other hand, the musicians' union in California had separate black and white branches (please substitute correct American terminology).

Buddy Featherstonhaugh? Answer here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Featherstonhaugh Qu 2: Can you spell it?

brew = booze zonk = booze zonk + y = adjective

Agreed!

Now playing:

Reminded of this one by the recent Johnny Mandel tributes. And what a band! Arrangements not just by Mandel, but also Dameron, Gene Roland and George Russell. And in the ranks: Al, Zoot, Herbie Steward, Frank Socolow, Raney, Fagerquist, not to mention the wonderfully named Porky Cohen!

Ah, yes!

Must listen again. It's a winner!

Track 12: Ronnie Cuber?

Track 4: Now there's a tune I know very well, but can I name it! Track 6: Ellington orch w Jimmy Jones, Dizzy and Jimmy Rushing. Track 7: "My Old Flame" Track 10: Another of those tunes I know but can't name.
