Hot Ptah

Disc, please. But you are wrong, I suspect that I will like everything on your BFT.

I am finding it very difficult as well. I have enjoyed listening to this BFT but am not able to contribute much in terms of guesses.

I would like December if it is still open.

Facebook is far more boring and mundane than all of that.

I may have lazy friends. My friends tend to post about once a year on Facebook, about some major event in their lives only. I also like how many of my old friends, from decades ago, who I have not been able to visit in person in years, post current photos of themselves and their families.

While we aren't going to solve all of the issues of Facebook here, I will say that I have had a different, and totally positive, experience with Facebook. I have carefully kept my Friends list to a small, manageable number, and have successfully blocked out anyone I did not want to be a Friend with. I do not consider the Facebook "Friend" label to be meaningful. It does not mean that the person is really a friend of yours. This does not upset me, or have any emotional impact on me. I have reconnected with many people from elementary school and high school who I had lost contact with, and have started up some wonderful, real, genuine friendships with them. I find that while teens may send messages on Facebook to each other about their every mundane move all day long, people in their 50s do not do so. Old folks seem to communicate on Facebook mostly rarely and for something meaningful. So blanket generalizations about Facebook are not very useful, I have found.

I agree! But perhaps for different reasons! But now that I know it's Davis & Chambers, I'll listen to it with new ears and see if I hear anything different. I generally enjoy it when those two work together! I'm sorry? Clifford Jordan on drums? Ah well. This just goes to show that I need to get over any fears & preconceptions I have about Sun Ra and just start diggin, cuz it seems that everything I've heard by him on various BFT's has been nothing short of extraordinary, and nothing like I would've imagined. I s'pose this is as good as any place to start! Okay, I'll give this another listen, simply because I'll give ANYTHING with Dejohnette the benefit of the doubt! About all I can say is the record cover accurately reflects my reaction to this track! My my, that's a whole lotta people! Sure didn't sound this big, and maybe that's where the beauty lies! Lots of good stuff, lotsa surprises! A fantastic BFT, Ptah! One for the ages! Thanks for catching my mistake on the Sun Ra track. It's Clifford Jarvis on drums. Thanks for the honest reactions and kind words.

Why is it surprising that popular searches include young, attractive females? Jennifer Aniston is 42 and Osama Bin Laden is dead 42 is quite young to me!

You are welcome. I appreciate the nice comments!

Thanks, Jeff. Those Cootie Williams sides from that time period also have some of the earliest recordings of Thelonious Monk compositions.

9. Leonard Feather/Dick Hyman—Reverberation (Feather/Hyman), from Hi Fi Suite (MGM, 1957). This album was meant as a hi fi demonstration album, to test the limits of your hi fi. The song titles included “Tweeter” and “Woofer”, and other terms related to hi fi performance. I first heard this song on the great Kansas Public Radio original weekly radio show, Retro Cocktail Hour, hosted by Darrell Brogden. Darrell sent me an audio file of this song, to use in this BFT, as I could not find a copy of the album. Thanks, Darrell! The Retro Cocktail Hour is also where I first heard Buddy Collette's Polynesia album.

David Murray—Santa Barbara and Crenshaw Follies (David Murray), from The Hill (Black Saint, 1986) David Murray—Tenor Saxophone Richard Davis—Bass Joe Chambers—Drums I included this cut for the Richard Davis arco bass solo. I think that no one else can play arco bass so well. Just my humble opinion! 13. Sun Ra—State Street (Sun Ra), from The Invisible Shield (Saturn 529, released 1974. This song was recorded in 1962).

Cootie WilliamsHoneysuckle Rose (Waller), from Chronological Classics 1941-44 (Originally recorded for the Hit label, on January 6, 1944. This reissue was released in 1995). Cootie WilliamsTrumpet Eddie Cleanhead VinsonAlto Saxophone Eddie Lockjaw DavisTenor Saxophone Bud PowellPiano Norman KeenanBass Sylvester Payne--Drums This January 6, 1944 date places this recording at about six weeks earlier than the oft-described first bebop recordings, the six sides Coleman Hawkins recorded for Apollo Records on February 16 and 22, 1944. The titles for the Coleman Hawkins date are Woody'n You, Bu-dee-daht, and Yesterdays recorded February 16, 1944 and Disorder at the Border, Feeling Zero and Rainbow Mist recorded February 22, 1944. The personnel for the Coleman Hawkins date included Dizzy Gillespie, Leo Parker, Don Byas, Budd Johnson, Clyde Hart, Oscar Pettiford, and Max Roach, among others. So to me, this Cootie Williams recording is like a missing link, one of those fossils that is discovered and works as a transition between prehistoric species. The head of this Cootie Williams recording sounds like bop to me, but the solos really dont, except perhaps Bud Powells solo. 8.

The Reveal will be posted tomorrow for this BFT #92.

Yes, that is correct for #4. It is not Johnny Guarnieri or Peter Nero on #5.

Why don't you go ahead and ID it, Spontooneous? My Reveal will be posted in a few days, anyway, so go ahead!!!

He is fine. For a while, a family member needed his help and it took up a lot of his time, he told me. After that, I just think that he does not want to get involved with online forums any more. He commented in an email to me that even if he cut back his number of posts, it takes so long to read everything on Organissimo that he does not want to get involved with it again. I suspect that real life intervened and took precedence for him. I have vaguely heard of this "real life" thing. I am not sure what it is, and it sounds scary, so I think I'll just stay here instead.

RE #6: Is the album Hollywood Palladium 1941 or In Hollywood 1940-41 Vol 2, both on the Hep label? That is not where I took the track from. I am not sure if it is also present on those Hep releases.

Once again I am amazed at how good this group is at identifying the songs and artists. Here is what has not been identified yet: 4. No identification of artist or album. 5. No identification of artist or album. 6. No identification of album for this Artie Shaw track. 7. No identification of artist or album. 9. No identification of artist or album. 13. No identification of song title or album for this Sun Ra track. 15. No identification of song title for this Adam Lane track. 16. No identification of song title or album for this Exploding Star Orchestra track.

Send me your download link as soon as you have it, and I'll send Hot Ptah his discs. Jeff, That is super nice of you. Thanks! Bill

I will need a disc. I definitely want to participate.

You are correct about #15.

Thanks for the encouraging words!

Interesting comments. Your musician guesses are not correct. Track #8 seems to be generating quite varied responses.

It could, indeed.
