Can't name the song, but it sounds like John Lee Hooker.

I keep looking at Funny Rat, but still can't figure out what it's about! Name Three People is definitely addictive.

Well gee whiz, no wonder #8 sounded like Trane. I got fooled by the overdub, and now I understand why the other guy didn't solo! I have this record, but haven't listened to it in years. I'll remedy that very soon. And he does have a nice sound.

BFT 33 OK, I’m gonna take a stab here, even though I’ve listened through twice, and didn’t immediately recognize anything. 1. A nice piano trio, a relatively recent (last 10 years) recording, I’d guess. The prominence of the bass on this leads me to suspect that the bassist may be the leader. Possibly George Mraz? 2. Although I don’t think of them as having such a strong piano presence in their music, this sounds like Oregon to me. I know Ralph Towner does play piano, and that does seem to be an oboe. I gotta say, this new-agey stuff kinda leaves me cold, although they are accomplished musicians. How generous of me! 3. At the outset I thought Tony Williams on drums, although I don’t recognize the session. Going out on a limb here, it is Billy Pierce on tenor and Mulgrew Miller on piano? A nice track overall. 4. The recording is a little thin here, although I like the performance. The tenor is tantalizingly familiar, but I can’t pinpoint him. The alto in places recalls Frank Strozier, but I’m just grabbing at straws here! 5. The instrumentation brings the Crusaders to mind, but I’m sure it ain’t them. I liked this track, although the riffing towards the end could have been shorter, and where the hell did that flute come from?? 6. I had some problems with this. The theme statements seems overly precious and ponderous, although once they find a groove, some nice things happen. I just wish they’d stay in the groove. The tenor player has heard Trane, I’d say. The trumpet has a nice sound, with ideas that remind me of possibly early Woody Shaw. The whole thing seems to be from that late 60’s-early 70’s post-Coltrane bag that the kids these days call “spiritual” jazz. Lived through that era, and don’t dig it as much now as I did then. 7. Now this was a big nothing as far as I’m concerned. Carla Bley & Charlie Haden usually can pull this sort of thing off, but this just seemed overly grandiose. NMCOT 8. Jeez, talk about a Coltrane bag! Man! The whole thing was so out of Trane that it made me uncomfortable. Could this be his cousins, the Grubbs brothers (Carl & Earl), who recorded as The Visitors? The soprano player has a nice sound, but the performance was just too derivative for my tastes. 9. This sounds like it may be a fairly recent recording, by some younger players who I can’t identify, although I liked it. I recall a record by Ron Miles (trumpet) and Evand Kang (violin) that felt like this. Some interesting music, Randy, even if it all was a tad serious. Lighten up, dude!

It couldn't have been Prestige, since he made several records for them. Could it have been Blue Note?

Just finished reading the interview (it took some time to load!). Very well done, Dmitry - an interesting man!
