That would be my vote. I'd like to say more, and will by month's end, but for now, I'll leave people to sleuth it out if so desired.

No, sir, but a fair comp. CORRECT, sir!

Ouch! My foot! Actually, Dan, thanks for doing this. I brain-farted and was thinking i had more time. Welcome aboard mjazzg!

If you're talking about the swell behind the bari, I hear horns (which matches the personnel list). I will say, I have seen this band in person and anything is possible.

That's the album. Though, I'm going to walk that back a step -- coming home last night, Miles' version with the sextet came on... it's awfully hard to beat that one.

Correct, sir!

Not certain. Sadly, I sold it years ago. But sound-wise, could be either. Nay... but I like your logic! My dude, you're going to set off the smoke alarm.

The record with Warren Vaché when I was a kid. Still my favorite version of On Green Dolphin Street. My father was certainly a BT fan, and it was common ground (a lot of places weren't when I first got into the music).

Missed this post, Dan, sorry. Yes, this is the album and that is the correct track. No, sir. A bit later and, I'd argue, a bit edgier.

It happens, man. No shade. Hey, they may only be deep to me.

AH! I wondered. And, yes! A2 from that!

Uh... where you hearing that tenor? Just trumpet on track 5.

God I love his piano playing!

Aw, Jeez. Wait, is this NOT your profile pic? I so love it when my replies that have nothing to do with each other get merged. 😡

Okay, I definitely need to get that extended McPhee set. LOVE that guy.

Fair enough. Attempts to be witty late at night often expose my true level of comedic talent.

Since Dub Modal posted the reveal, I'm going to jump on GMT (well, if so, I'm 1 hour late, actually) and start this thread up. https://thomkeith.net/blindfold-tests/current-tests/ This is a mix of tunes I made note of throughout the year as well as some things I've picked up relatively recently. There's a mix of "classic" and new, with some stuff that isn't really in my normal wheelhouse. I expect this will be Felser-approved, Gould-rejected, and a mixed bag for Jim. Without further ado, your Maître d' will show you to your table.

I'm next, Ken's August. I supposed I should get about putting that thing together, though.

Sweet Little Sixteen was the Chuck song I was thinking of. (You really don't want to know about the other one.) @Dub Modal, Edmund Hall makes sense, as he's one of the few clarinetists in my collection. Apologies, I overlooked that McPhee was correct. Is this, then, from the expanded set of the Nation Time stuff?

Something about the phrasing (not sure if it's voicings or rhythmic patterns) leaned me that way. Track 5 had me thinking of John Valby lyrics, but there's another song that comes to mind -- a Chuck Berry tune.
