Doesn't sound like Poindexter to me.

Listening to complete my comments/guesses. Track 6: Opening drum roll sounds very Blakey-ish. I thought about Donald Byrd / Pepper Adams, but .... Nice. I would listen to more from that group. Track 7: Very interesting, heavy groove, trombone in an organ combo. No idea who this is. Track 8: Bird's "Now's the time". I like it a bit slower. I know that tenor player. A bit of Ammons, but too many slurs for him. Fun jam session, they definitely have a good time. But I am no good at identifying players anymore as I do not listen to jazz that much currently. Track 9: Another old Calypso-type tune. Again it looses its charm when played that fast and just used for running the changes. The title escapes me, but I have a much slower version that is downright cute. Track 10. Dizzy Atmosphere? You seem to love versions that raise the tempo! Another loss in charm. All comptetent players, but all racing like the are on cocaine. Track 11: Night In Tunisia. Now here's someone taking his time! He knows how to play the break! Some clever quotes, literally and stylistically, in the solo. He knows the history of jazz piano. Who is this? Track 12: Okay, this, too, looses the charm of the original, but I kinda like this approach here. Again traces of Ammons. Title escapes me right now. Track 12: Misty - with feeling. That's a very nice closer. Thanks for the compilation. Without these BFTs I would listen to much less jazz right now. Too much music to listen to, too little time.

Many aspects play a role here. Racial and segregational issues, economics, taste - all interwoven in a very complex fashion. As long as black, white, jewish etc. is an issue and musicians have to make money with their profession under these conditions, there will be happenings like this. Basically, you use whatever you hear and inspires you. What grows out of it is another thing. But y'all know this.

Inspired by the thread about Fred:

Mr. Guy had great time, razor sharp. Seems he never recorded outside the world of Ellingtonia.

👍 Part of Reinhard Goebel's indispensable campaign to promote Mozart's and Beethoven's neglected conremporaries.

The Rhumba Finale on the Issues I have all have these two parts, and none of them is in 6/8 time.

Roach recorded only two LPs as a leader for the label, and no sideman dates!

Tonight's bedtime discs:

I confirmed quite a few errors with that method during my research for the Cal Tjader Discography. Tracks that were attributed to the wrong sessions, mistitled, that were different takes on various issues. etc- Everything is possible, including takes listed somewhere that probably never existed. But Lord or whoever supports him with data, or the authors of label discographies, never can have listened to every existing issue, simply too much for a complete overview jazz discography. That is for the specialists. Basic rules are: 1. always consult a second independent source and 2. Listen to it yourself, whenever possible. E.G. I once got me a shellac record at an auction, had it transferred to digital, and in the studio during playback it turned out Tjader doesn't even play on it! Further investigation got me a tape from a fellow forum member that confirmed the 78 I had was a reissue of an earlier issue from a different session without Tjader. You never know until you listened yourself.

That Blue Note twofer was my intoduction to Herbie, IIRC. But I replaced it with the CD reissues of single albums and then the Blue Note box set.

Wise decision. The only way to confirm would be to get both issues, listen and compare.

Today's good night music:

Haha ...... get it from the label, they offer two cd promotional packages of new releases: https://encelade.net/index.php/en/hikashop-menu-for-products-listing-2/product/26104-marin-marais

Brand new release. Extremely beautiful playing, the perfect introduction to this composer's work,

So I guess I am lucky to have bought an original size facsimile reprint in th 1970's. The (very small) publishing company even offered single leaf facsimiles for framing of which I bought two that have been on my bedroom wall ever since. He was an enlightened man. Just got a free ticket for this tomorrow: https://www.staedelmuseum.de/en/holbein

The Avengers never left my memory after I once heard it. R.I.P.
