What a pity!

Your old man had a nice turn of phrase! Looks like I'm a bit dated. Mind you, it's what we used to say about good jazz c.1960: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/like-the-clappers.html

Possible European connection leads me to guess a few more names: Dizzy Reece, Benny Bailey, Art Taylor.

After the third trumpet solo, I'm thinking I'm hearing a British-sounding "Yeah, mate!" Is this recorded in Europe?

Teddy Bunn Robert Crumb Jimmy Rowles

Track 10 "Funky Blues" - which could be the title for this very enjoyable BFT as a whole.

Track 9 "Blue Monk". Another guess - Budd Johnson for one of the tenormen?

Track 8 "Senor Blues". Sounds like we have two pianos.

Track 7 I'll guess Junior Mance. Wonderful piano!

Track 4 Sounds like Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and I recognize the tune, but can't put a name to it. Hornmen are in the Shorter/Hubbard tradition - I can't get closer than that. Goes without saying that I like this one. Track 5 Gorgeous rendering of "Where or When" by tenor in the Webster tradition. Byas?

Track 2 I recognized "Bag's Groove", Kenny Dorham and (I now realise wrongly) Thad Jones and a bit of internet research suggested this is Trumpet Summit: Live at Club Ruby 1968. Truly lovely stuff! Track 3 I like this, too, but other than recognizing "Now's the Time" have nothing to contribute.

Swings like the clappers, though audience chatter intrusive in places.

My, you do get around, Bev!

Just posted it in Pics thread. Thought it particularly appropriate after cartoon posted by Erwbol.

That sounds promising! At what venue?
