Here are my shots into the dark - I'm a new member:
1) "Looking Good, But Feeling Bad" - a killer, but no clue to who's playing/singing
2) "When You Wish Upon A Star" - Frank Foster Quartet
3) "Django" - played by Robert Normann, g w/ accompaniment, rec. 1989?
4) ?
5) Hamilton da Holanda Quintet - the name of the tune not detected, yet, Hamilton on bandolim

8) Sound like Muppet Show - I like it, no clue to who's playing
9) That's my stuff - keep playing that thing! The clarinet could be a creole, but no clue to the name of the band ... probably some French revival NO Band (?)
10) Great band, great soloists - but, again, no clue to the name and origins of the band
11) Ok, Oscar Peterson started out as a boogie player, nice, anyway, only 88 available to tickle ....
12) Ron Carter with some other bass player plus piano and rhtyhm????
13) Late night radio jazz, not my style, anyway, great players ...
14) Bud Powell in a Monk mood???
15) More late night radio jazz, no clue at all ...
16) Great trombone playing, no clue
17) More Monk inspiration included here - Rein de Graaff???
18) Heather Simmons, vocalist, with Ted Barnett, p, Roger Curphey, b, Marc CEcil, dm, Mike Pigott, violin - rec 2007 at the album "I'm Oldfashioned"
19) Short stuff - OPSO, maybe???

Next month, January 2009, BFT #61 ( 1 CD), titled "Something Old Something New", subtitled Keep (it) swinging, will be launched - my second attempt to bring you some tracks that fascinated me, since the BFT # 44 ( 2 discs) titled "Keepswinging" I posted almost two years ago.
If you love to participate in listening, enjoying (I hope so) and analysing this selection, please send me a PM and inform me if you love to have a CDR sent to your home address ( don't forget to mention it) or ( later) a link of a shared files.

Ok, I see, I'm an insider, well then I have to add a few details regarding the Ton Van Bergeyk tune. You're correct, Durium, that the tune has been re-issued on a private cdr-collection of some of his recordings - I guess only a handfull of persons have had access to this item. Anyway, as stated in my shot: the recording was made 1976, actually in London at Stefan Grossman's Kicking Mule studio, and it was released on a vinyl LP, an anthology titled "I got Rhythm" containing 6 more fingerpicking goodies by The Dutch Wizard. Regarding Alemán, you're incorrect when stating that Aleman never recorded "O.A. 1926", he did on the Redondel LP titled 'Alemán '72', please check out your own collection or the online discography! - A little more inside info regarding Ton's cover version: Ton told that the hard thing was not to pick the notes, but to hold the ukulele that kept slipping away while trying to apply fingerpicking technique to the tune - I guess Oscar Aleman must have met the same problem while playing the tune on the cavaquinho. - Further, Ton's 'Anno 1926' is a cover version, I said - the original 'copied' from Alemán is on an acetate made c. 1953, a radio transcription only known by few insiders, I guess ...
