I really like that one... my first Barney Wilen disc.

You can find information about Stride Piano on this thread: HARLEM STRIDE PIANISTS

Brad: if you´re refering to Hollywood Empire club in LA and not to London Empire Ballroom, this may be that disc: DE at the Hollywood Empire 1949 - Storyville Records

John, you still don't see we EUROPEANS (you know what that is, don't ya know) have to stand TOGETHER against that damn US imperialists!?

Great one!

... and one for the violin

You´re right. Ray deserves a couple of photos! One for the trumpet...

Disc 2 After a quick listening, my only two guesses are: 1.- A great arranger and composer. And a great disc you can find in this AMG REVIEW 2.- Betty Carter. She´s a favorite of mine. I should buy more music from her, for sure, cause I can´t identify this disc!!!

I anxiously threw in my guesses for Disc 1. Now I´ve spinned it on a row once more. A few more comments track-by-track: 1.- Wonderful big band bebop. For the sound and the music it looks like late 40´s. One could think about Dizzy... but there are not many trumpet lines here... and I checked my RCA set and didn´t find this song... then I checked my Verve Big Band sides (though this sides come from mid-50s) and didn´t find anything as well. I don´t know who the tenor sax is. The tune sounds familiar to these ears, but can´t give a name. Oh, these boppish melodies, you never can identify one! 2.- A trumpet-leaded date from the 70s???. Don´t know who he is, but I DO LIKE this theme. One to pick, for sure. The sax sounds more familiar to me. 3.- Nice and relaxed piece (it´s good to have a rest after two high-speed tracks! . Like it! 4.- My first impression was WTF is this??? Too African for me! But then (after too many minutes) comes that wonderful alto sax. Jackie McLean? But in this "environment"? Can´t be him! 5.- Don´t like the piano (too repetitive). The piece is too long for me. 6.- SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTS. Singer 1 is one of my favorite singers, one of the most underrated and, regretfully, underrecorded!!! Same could be applied to Singer 2!!! 7.- Great theme. One of my favorites from the disc! No idea, no clue, but the saxophonist is pretty good!!! 8.- No idea, no idea!!! Good, but not one of my favorites! 9.- SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTS. I´m so stupid that I didn´t realize it was a live date and not the original studio recording! This recording has a live version of it... but after checking it... NO! A couple more, included HERE and HERE. Who will be the winner??? 10.- SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTS. Beautiful. The tenor sax, the pianist and the drummer included here (with the adition of another different bassist) created one of the greatest "bodies" of music I´ve ever heard! 11.- SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTS. Not one of my favorites from this disc. I got it after doing some AMG research (I must recognize it!). Great compilation, Randy. Can´t wait to hear Disc 2!

CD 1 A couple more guesses: Track 11 Guess it´s this: AMG REVIEW. Track 3 Good work on guitar, and I love that alto sax sound! Track 10 Body and soul. And my guess is this: AMG REVIEW track 4

Count me in! Will send an e-mail as soon as possible! EDIT: e-mail sent

After some checking I would say singer 2 on track 6 of the first list is: AMG ENTRY... but I didn´t know this duet. I´m sure I haven´t got this disc. Beautiful!

Hi! Just received the CDs. I´ve picked here and there in CD 1 and I have recognized inmediately a couple of tracks. As this is something not too usual I´ll post my sure guesses: CD 1 Track 9 Jeep! The Rabbit doing a very Shakesperian thing! I did recognize the sound of the alto sax... and the sound of the orchestra. This is: AMG REVIEW. It´s track 9 Track 6 Charlie Parker´s favorite singer is included here. Someone says she "holds every note as if it was the last minute of her life". Definitively one of my favorite singers: AMG ENTRY. Must check my shelves or AMG to discover which tune it is... and who on hell is the other singer, which I SHOULD KNOW.... JEANNE LEE???
