1. Bone out front. Can't rule out early Coltrane on tenor. Curtis Fuller? 2. Seventies feel. We do have a bone here to so it wold be reasonable to suspect Phil Ranelin. 3. Mellow, maybe fluegelhorn. You already know who I'm thinking, but I've been wrong so many times I'm not going to say it out loud. 4. Either The Entertainer or Maple Leaf Rag. Alto has some modern licks. I don't think there's any piano on Air Lore. Braxton would be more subversive. I think I have this but I'm not placing it. 5. Another jaunty busman's holiday for a new thing player. 6. And we we step over the line into new thing, feels like a Hat Hut date. Joe McPhee? Been trying to remember the name of the Hat player who did the Jug tribute as an alternate guess. 7. And back in to the mainstream, on the ivoies. Tommy Flanagan? 8. In the grand tenor ballad tradition. Not Body and Soul, but close. 9. Terje Rypdal, with Brandon Ross as a backup guess. Love it. 10. Latin jam. I have no skills in this area 11. Very quiet. I did toy with the idea of it being Bill Evans with Jim Hall, but I'm more inclined toward, say Richie Beirach. ... Not particularly easy to google but I did find Ellery Eskelin's name

Spotted the Riccitelli and the Meldonian on Amazon Music Unlimited, will stream them soon.

Thanks to Dan Gould and Kevin Bresnahan, I'm back. Thanks also to Chuck Nessa who tried but found Jim out of the country and unable to tweak the board. Big Ears was a blast as usual, nothing could top Nuclear War as performed by the Arkestra and Yo La Tengo, but ample great moments. I had reservations but they were overcome by Kokayi's participation in Ambrose Akinmusire's Honey from a Winter Stone performance.

I took my notes on another computer, then changed to a new one. They were not changed after I read the thread 1. Is that Jitterbug Waltz? Took me a couple plays to decide yes. I think Jason Moran's version was reaching out to an R&B audience, so I'll go with Cory Weeds as a guess. 2. Oriental sounding instrument. For some reason it makes me think Pharoah Sanders, although not representative of his body of work. 3. Virtuoso piano, Barry Harris or Mulgrew Miller? 4. Lyrical trumpet, maybe Kenny Dorham? 5. Airy arrangement with featured clarinet. Peplowski? 6. Familiar composition, but I can't place it. Lee Morgan? 7. Sweet Georgia Brown? Art Tatum? 8. Star Eyes Getz and Barron? 9. Roy Eldridge? 10. Is that Yardbird Suite? Maybe Hampton Hawes? When I hear the applause at the end I question that choice. 11. Charlie Parker? 12. Maria Schneider? From Data Lords? 13. Gil Evans makes sense in this context. 14. Stephane Grappelli? 15. Woody Herman?

is 12 Maria Schneider? from Data Lords?

Is 11 a selfie?

Rodrigo Amado on 9?

Nobody else hears background vocals about 3 minutes into #11?

Your response to Felser on 7 has me thinking the group has their collective name and no single name is the name artist for their records. Which is what led me to the Jazz Crusaders and now to ... The Roots.

Jazz Crusaders on 7?

1. The amusing thought that occurred to me was "The Complete Black and Blue recordings of John Abercrombie". The fluid, somewhat progressive guitar lines fit very well in a more retro environment. No such recordings exist to my knowledge, of course. 2. Feels like Art Farmer and Clifford Jordan. 3. If that's not a cello or piccolo bass, it certainly is a very high bass figure at the beginning. Good electric piano and bone. OK, maybe an oud? Rabih Abou-Khalil? I think the band is too big to be Rabih. 4. Wayne Shorter? 5. Milesian feel. 6. I like the hard-edged tone, not quite Booker Ervin but close. Maybe Lockjaw, but I know a lot mote two tenor dates with him than tenor trumpet front lines. 7. Lushly arranged, suggesting a larger band. It reminds me of Herbie's The Prisoner album, but I think it would sound more familiar if it was. Obviously I need to play The Prisoner ASAP! 8. Monk meets Ornette, but on tenor. Live date. Frank Lowe? 9. Don Cherry with Pharoah on Blue Note. Possibly Old and New Dreams, but I'll stick with Pharoah. 10. Dwight Trible 11. James Carter on Bari? Is that a vocal chorus 3 minutes in?

Seems like the ECM has to be 8 (with Dave Holland) or 6 (with Muhal Richard Abrams). The only Abrams I found on ECM so far is a live Jack DeJohnette, Made in Chicago and the big Art Ensemble of Chicago box set.

Woody's Delight on High Note is a qualifying recording for the fathers, so good find. Likewise Kenny Drew Jr Sextet. I haven't seen any sidemen that would qualify Doug Raney for the collaborators part, but few second generation jazz musicians have recorded that prolifically as a leader.
