Listening now. Fun stuff. I shall wear a cardigan today.

never got the solo one Just been listening to this that arrived today

Thanks John. So that's not Gato not being Pharaoh but the aforementioned George Barron? He's the only sax player credited on Discogs for that album. I really should have left this alone when I said I was going to a few hours ago. Sorry folks!

Yeah, I get that so is the BFT track not Gato or not from 'Astral Travelling'? I think I need a lie down...

Now I'm confused, a state I find myself increasingly visiting and not just in this BFT. I thought Liston Smith's first Flying Dutchman was 'Astral Traveling' without Gato. But we're saying and now hearing Gato on the BFT track, no? And Gato's first FD album 'Third World' doesn't have LLS on it Forgive me, it's been a tough week...

I'm not too sure that it helps to know that, John By a creaky process of elimination I think the Harley might be from 'Re-creation Of The Gods' only because I have a number of the others and not that one and also the line-up on Discogs fits (is such research allowed?)

I think I'm going to admit defeat on tracks 11,12 & 13 and wait for the reveal, or for Jsngry to spill the beans, with great interest. But I'm going to listen to that run one more time...

So reading the new comments, is track 11 a Bob Moses band?

is Pharaoh not Pharaoh on Black Jazz?

Yes, I got the LP from the US too. Seems a while ago now possibly before CvsD did the CD

Reading some of the IDs now and with your comments, So Khan Jamal it is and I see T.D. has ID'd it so I can go to my shelves and play it now . I just have too many albums if I miss this ID. It's a terrific listen. Track 10. - ha! Apologies Mr Stepney. I grew up to my Mum listening to them, still have a little soft spot even for the most poppy stuff. She could sing. And now I know that the Pointer Sisters existed before 'Slowhand'. It's always an education here Track 12 intrigues me on a number of levels. 45 years old makes it contemporaneous with Pharaoh's albums. I haven't listened to Collier yet as I fear he's going to be "Spiritual by numbers" but I will sometime and hopefully be pleasantly surprised. He's on the upcoming Kahil El'Zabar album which is some kind of recommendation.

Back for some more having tried not to read other folk's comments although I did spot the ID for track 2 and that will teach me to sell my Joe Henderson - Milestone Years boxset years ago. i knew it had to be Michael White just because it I know felser's regard for him. Track 3. - I only ever remember hearing Peggy Lee's version of this in my very early Jazz listening years. This version really hits home and I'm intrigued to hear who it is. I'm not a great listener to vocal Jazz but occasionally something hits home like this Track 4. - hangs head in shame. I count myself a big Lloyd fan and can't believe I missed this one. My only excuse is I was cooking at the time...his ECM's are a goldmine Track 5. - nice groove. It reminds me of David Murray and Don Pullen but it's obviously not them. Earlier I'm guessing but not a lot. Doesn't really stand out for me Track 7. - nice bass. I can never really get with this style of singing. My loss, I'm sure Track 9. - just love this from the off. Those vibes and flute, irresistible! Now question is, do I have this? If I don't I will after the reveal. Is it one of the Black Jazz catalogue that I've not caught up on nearly enough? The vibes again, Khan Jamal? Track 10. - This makes me think of Charles Stepney but I haven't a clue what it is. It keeps breaking from Soul into a slightly more Mamas & Papas feel. I like it, I think Track 11. - hooked from the off. Another tune that sounds just like I was expecting from this BFT. Liebman on soprano? Great drumming. Trumpet has that Curson/Hannibal feel but I don't think it's either. I hope there's an album's worth of this, love it! Sounds like it's the drummer or pianist's date to me Track 12. Not Pharaoh but someone who wants to be or holds him in very high esteem. Cleaves a bit too close to its influences. The freer second sax solo makes me wonder about Pharaoh again but I still don't think so for some reason. because if it's not him then there's really no point in someone else playing so like it. I've not heard Isaiah Collier yet but this is kind of what his reviews suggest to me which is why I haven't listened to him. Track 13. Another great groove. You must spend your life dancing around the house to tunes this groovy John Don't know who but want to. Possibly the best unknown for me Such an entertaining selection. There's at least four I need in my life and several others that I'll look forward to knowing more about. Thanks a lot

Great, that's my listening sorted for a while First track - as I type this, straight out of the blocks. Brothers bringing it home. Love it and sets the rest up beautifully. You just have to pay attention to a tune like this Second track - just what I'd hoped from a felser BFT. If it's not on Impulse it should have been Track 6 - very nice until the sax comes in which dissipates the atmosphere for me a touch. Sounded very European at first, could almost be an ECM album. Someone's been listening to Kenny Wheeler and maybe even Stanko Track 8 - peerless vocal Jazz. I know this very well and will listen to this band and vocalist at any invitation. Righteous Time for dinner and football. Back tomorrow

Lots of truly great music in that list. You have a treat in store!
