thirteen minutes later already... that must mean the party has already started!!! hurray!

Reads like I missed out on yet another person breathing some true jazz... It may be too late, but I will remember your name. Have a good time up there with your friends mister Jaedig.

go Russia go! waitaminute, she got to represent the USofA didn't she? always pretty when the land of the free takes some successful sportspeople on board too much irony these days fer sure... -_-

boum

I'm surprised that this session didn't get more love in this thread. it has it's own thread... (and deserves the love)

it's a jungle out there...

'cause it's friggin' cool to have it all at once! uhmm.... just in: 2-1 for England, that Rooney twit again (don't like his style, but he does make his points doesn't he? )

dessfunnee

not as far as I know, you just described the very reason. killer album, fabulous playing, one of my favourites, if only for the title tune and Rigormortis, to name some extremes.

oy

hey Ubu, play your friend Д.Д. that Zerbe Blechband disk next time he visits. Just to show him that Italian jazz is NOT a universe of its own. It's a Central European thing really. Or at least that is what I like to think...

no he doesn't

petty excuse catesta. post your guesses already willya!

are there any spiders in the movie?

Bender?! Hmmm, ah dunno, sounds like family. Waitaminute, does he owe you money or anything? You can bite my shiny metal ass, ah never heard of the guy! McLean was listed as Ferris Bender on the original album, must have been for those "contractual reasons."

Honeysuckle Rose is always good for some jumping around then: These Foolish Things Lady Be Good It ain't Necessarily So (nice waltz) Satin Doll Easy To Love You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To and since summer starts today: Summertime

Complete Yusef Lateef on Impulse

tell that to all the people who study with mister Wonneberg... He's a genyooine professor now at the Hanns Eisler School for Music in Berlin. Teaches ensemble/arrangement and history.

All The Things You Are

Have to leave some fun to the other participants B) you call that fun?! I've been eating myself over these tracks Sure, it's fun. And you get a jazz education at the same time. Better listen to that BFT 13 rather than your Alfons Wonneberg stoopid music. One should stay away from any musician going by the name of Alfons hey, Wonneberg is jazz education par excellence, looking over the edge of the plate and all that jazz. Does that Alfons rule also apply to Alphonso "Dizzy" Reece?

Couw, the brother of the trumpet player that irritates so much so many people around here is the player on that tune. He is more interesting than his brother but his solo falls well beyond the composer's one on the original session. hey cool, never bothered to check him out I'm afraid. Nice to hear him here. BTW, how come you don't have the answers to the real "mind-messers" like 2, 3, and 12?

this is a very nice set of disks, a lot of very recognisable stuff (tunes, players) that I have a hard time to pin down. track 1. "Cotton Tail." This sounds rather modern. I have no idea who's singing here, nor who's playing. Big fun for starters. track 2. absolutely certain I know the tune, associate it with Jackie Mac somehow. I'll have some sleepness nights and then it will come to me. And what's that quote the first tenor plays? It leaves the impression of a get together of the greats (is that Joe Henderson?). Track 3. and another one I am certain I know, I probably even have this one. More later... (grmbl...) Track 4. Sounds like Brownie. Not something I have, I think. The Vogue Paris sessions? Track 5. sounds like J.J. Haven't got a real clue though. nice tune, nice playing, nice. The trumpet rings some familiar bells as well. Track 6. pretty piano, and pretty old stuff is my guess. Not my strength, but very enjoyable and nicely whack with the complete mess up of the mood half way through. if I could only name that classical tune he plays with, very nice. Track 7. guess what? couw is not impressed by this Miles Davis wannabe. Track 8. Lester Leaps In, battle of some saxes, how many are there? four? I think I recognise raw & raspy Lockjaw Davis, but his hard and fast pal Griffin seems not to be present (?). Track 9. very nice, no clue though. couw is not very good at this ancient stuff. enjoys it nonetheless. Track 10. solo piano that gets a bit too romantically cute at times for my tastes. I would wager a guess that we're listening to Montoliu here, he needs to be on here somewhere. Track 11. familiar tune (again), this time the first tune on a classic album, so that helps. A little AMG search brings me to the album this is taken from and I see there are 5 tenors involved. The task will be to pin them down I guess... Track 12. argh, another one I know and cannot put my finger on. damn you Agustín! Track 13. Love this singer. I hope that feeling is mutual. Track 14. more ancient stuff, more very nice, more no clue... This one will keep me on my toes for some time yet as I am sure there are some tracks that just need that little "click" upstairs in couw's head. I am just gonna post this now though and hope someone has already done the honours and will releave me of this pain. Thanks for a very nice BFT Mr. A.P.G.

Looks like a Dodo bird. turkey strangling is what a friend of mine calls it when a player strangles his horn with his fingers moving up and down the keys like thunder, producing a sound like that of a turkey being strangled. Dolphy is the master.
