Only chronic insomniacs. "2 hour period" is a bit generous, Bev. In my experience the board's often knackered from about 6:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. :-(

Happy Birthday, Bob! Hope you get some new discs for your birthday!

Yes to 15 - it's Avery Parrish's 'After hours'. By whom? 10 does sound a bit like 'Rocks', but isn't. Nance is in there, but not Cootie. 2 Is indeed Harold Mabern. 14 Is indeed Wild Bill Davis. Any idea about the sidemen? 19 definitely isn't T-Bone, who was a lot better than this gent. Two ticks and two half ticks, Bill. Well done. MG Pleased to get 2 1/2, M G. Re 10, I said Rex Stewart, not Cootie, but I suppose it isn't him either.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

OK I think I got it this time. The only one I feel pretty certain of is Track 15 which I think is Avery Parrish's "After Hours", quite a hit in its time, I believe. Track 10 sounds like "Rocks in my Bed" and because of the Ellington connections, I'll guess at Rex Stewart and Ray Nance. Track 2 sounds like Harold Mabern. Track 14 is "Things Aint What They Used to Be" and Wild Bill Davis would be a wild guess. Track 19 reminds me of T Bone Walker, but probably isn't. Once I've established I'm on the right set of tunes, I'll give them a more careful listening!

I think I should quietly give up at this point.

Yeah! (twice)

M G and aparxa : It's obvious from what you say that what I'm getting out of the Wimpy player is something completely different from you. Track 1 isn't as aparxa identifies and track 2 isn't as described by M G. I take it then that track 5 shouldn't be playing Pepper Adams, "Minor Mishap", which I'm 100% sure it is for me.

Are you sure about that, M G? I'm listening to what's on Track 1 and to the Don Sleet track on Spotify and they're identical! Wires crossed? Further investigation needed?

Track 5 "Minor Mishap" (Flanagan) from Pepper Adams, The Critics' Choice with Adams (bar), Lee Katzman (tpt), Jimmy Rowles(pno), Doug Watkins (bs), Mel Lewis (dms), recorded 1957. Lovely stuff! Track 7 "Theme for Ernie" Track 10 A tune played by the Jazz Messengers, but not them here, I think.

Track 3 Yusef Lateef? + Booker Little? + James Spaulding?

Track 1 "Brooklyn Bridge" from Don Sleet, All Members with Sleet (tpt), Jimmy Heath (tnr), Wynton Kelly (pno), Ron Carter (bs) and Jimmy Cobb (dms), recorded 1961. Wonderful album by an almost unheard of leader!

Complete misnomer!

Good idea! Now listening to

A look at earlier jazz and the function of the riff ... ?

Read this after seeing Atom Egoyan's film of it. I shall certainly read some more William Trevor novels.
