My sincere condolences, I'm sure she rests in peace. Take good care of yourselves and your family, I wish you all the strength you need right now.

I checked it again: this album is not on AMG, though all the musicians involved are. I didn't know it is such a rare LP: a GOOGLE search brought up only 6 pages where it was mentioned. Phew! An AllTheWeb search brought up another webpage of a used records dealer who has a copy for $ 25.00.

I don't wanna spoil Randy's fun - or yours - but it's not the Headhunters, although the sound leading you to such a guess may be the clue. It's not Sam Brown. The guitarist did not exactly play guitar in one of the bands of those two down beat poll winners.

Good heavens! The guitar indeed sounded familiar. I will order this the minute I can read here which CD this is on! I love it, and my wife loves it too!

Don't blow your cool, it isn't! B)

We will not have to worry about the future of organissimo BTs!

Same here. This mellow track always slipped through my attention. Strange, since it is the clearest reference to his West Coast beginnings on all of his Blue Note albums. Real close to the stuff other West Coast doorbellists like Ayers and Feldman played in such a tempo.

After reading your hints and some detective work, I risk a wild guess and suggest this guy for the fusion guitar track. Have trouble playing sound samples at the time, so I cannot confirm this way. I will buy this! This is the type of fusion guitar I missed back then, Holdsworth is excellent but too cerebral, diMeola too egotistical ....

I just missed one of his newest CDs on ebay by half a buck! Has anybody heard his Highnote CDs?

In other words: Is this the new company? http://www.shoutfactory.com

Is there a website of this new company?

But, really, the best way to increase the post count while not polluting the board with silly remarks is to post and to remove it later: ever noticed the deleted posts are not deducted? May that reduce the fear to delete silly posts.

I bet this would never stop even if the post count was invisible on all parts of the board!

In music theory, a resolution stands for the process of bringing back the harmonic progression back to the root, or a dissonance back to consonance.

The plot about this link is the small print in the middle:

God is on our side! I'll wait and pray he is on my side later this month...

I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next week ...

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!! I have this one! (but Tom Archia's still a good wrong guess... ) At least I got one you didn't! My BT rule #2 applies to everybody! Tom Archia - a friend turned me to him many years ago. Let's reserve him for a future BT.

I agree about the Galaxy records, that was around the time when his concept was gettin' a bit stale. If I remember correctly, he took a time out later. And I'll admit any time he's not on the same level as Getz, but I dig his warmth and sincerity. He should get back to his energetic side more often, though. His duos and trios with just drums or bass and drums are great!

I do now, and that would have been my second guess. But what I could hear of the original tone had me thinking Getz, which is appropros, since this guy's always had a bit of Getz in the upper partials of his tone. But this album I do not know. Funny how over the course of not too many years he went from normal enough to totally gonzo to totally warm and fuzzy. What a long, strange trip THAT must have been. Funny Jim, you think I might be right, but now after reading your post I think you might be right. Some mysterious remark by Randy made me believe there might be a third solo sax by the guy I was talking about, but I didn't know your guessed man ever made such a recording, and listening closer I hear a lot of traits that suggest your guess rather than mine - plus the fact that it is not on the two LPs I have which I have checked since posting my guess. After all, you're the saxist! Sorry folks, I might have mislead you ... -_-

C'mon Jim, think of all the things we did at their age when not practicing, that they are missing.

Yeah, beer helps only on the other side of the dumping tracks ...

What's your wife's age?

Gotcha!
