Ken Dryden

I always thought Destined For Cutout would make a great title.

The audio quality is pretty good and Johnny Smith was always fantastic.

I didn''t take your initial reply as harsh at all. Track 14 was previously identified as Stuff Smith, along with the tunes. Stuff's sound is pretty distinctive and edgier than Stephane's, it's fun to hear their recordings together. though there is only one violinist present here. Track 15 was previously identified with a bit of word games as the pre-Joe Morello Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond.

It wouldn't be the first time that a composer was mis-credited on a release....

Bill Evans was quoted as saying that Bill Grauer died in self-defense. Bob Thiele was also known for creative bookkeeping, selling more than 100% ownership of his last label, Red Baron, to investors. His house of cards tumbled after his death.

One of the best running gags on that sitcom. I never followed golf, but Chi Chi was evidently quite a character.

You listened to the music and shared your thoughts. That is more than enough for me.

No, not Maria Schneider.

I guess most of my jazz shirts are jazz promos from labels or Downbeat (for voting in the critic's poll), though I bought a few festival and venue shirts. I don't think my wife will be seen with me if I wear this shirt out of the house.

Our cat Dolphy not only peed in our dining room but also on the carpeted landing on the stairs to the basement innour first house. We never figured out what caused him to do it. Since then cats have been exiled in the basement of both of the houses we’ve owned after we left the first one.

I used to have issues with Euclid Records, not with LPs, but CDs. They would not grade them and they would frequently have scratches meriting VG grades and writing in the booklets.

I bought the entire series a few years back, I need to revisit it.

Arrived today, it is a cdr. Cost cutting is evidently necessary for such a small batch.

It is the Muse CD.

That it is.

Track 2 is identified correctly. Tracks 9 & 13 wee previously identified by JSngry. Tracks 14 & 15 were previously identified by JSngry.

I have been trying to pick up a few older titles, but this is the first one I've encountered on SteepleChase. It is almost like Coca-Cola's substitution of "New Coke" before they redesigned a new label to indicate the substandard product with the drastic formula change that left long time customers furious.

Tracks 7 i & 8 are correctly identified. Not Al Haig on track 10. Not Sonny Stitt on track 11. All songs and musicians are as you stated, obviously not Oscar Peterson as you compared the pianist to, an unusual comparison for the artist. Good job, Jim.

How do people make any money selling a limited edition CD of 100 copies? Maybe they expect to see a lot of downloads.

There are about 2 acts per day that I feel would be worth my time, the rest leave me underwhelmed.

I thought it was implied that the jewel box was left in the truck, though I enjoyed the laugh.

My filing system is almost foolproof, but occasionally CDs have vanished without explanation. Often I find them after grabbing the wrong stack as I conduct a periodic massive shift to file all new acquisitions (which often approaches 300 titles by the time I get to the Zs). But there are times when they are just missing and I definitely didn't sell them. I think that I may have left a CD behind in the studio once or twice, but I haven't been downtown to record my weekly radio show in over two years, since I've been producing it at home. Perhaps the most frustrating is when my wife loaned our truck without asking me, removing a CD from the player but not the jewel box from the storage compartment. By the time I got the truck back, the CD was nowhere to be found to put back in the jewel box. About the time that I buy a replacement copy, it will turn up.

Here's my BFT for August. Hope you enjoy it and discover some music of interest. https://thomkeith.net/blindfold-tests/current-tests/
