Cecile McLorin Salvant on 10?

Appreciate the inclusion of an all-female band and a young female bandleader. I saw Nicole Glover with Dave Holland last year, first encountered Ingrid Jensen on Enja back in the eMusic days.

1. Lotta piano - familiar tune, possibly Bird's tune, Bud or possibly Phineas Newborn. 2. Classic tenor. Not falling strongly into Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon or Ben Webster territory, so I'll say Don Byas. 3. Flute in the bebop era style. Not Rahsaan, and probably not Herbie Mann. Maybe Frank Wess with the New York Jazz Quartet. 4. For some reason I'm thinking McCoy Tyner even though it's miles away from his predominant Milestone style. 5. More rhapsodic tenor. Maybe Stan Getz 6. More Piano trio. John Hicks (wild guess) 7. Having Herbie Nichols thoughts here. but I don't know if there are any Herbie nichols tracks this long. I'm going in an entirely different direction - Ahmad Jamal? 8. Silky smooth larger band - Jones- Lewis? 9. Hello to the Wind. Name sounds familiar, probably a 70's WRTI "hit" Gary Bartz? 10. Female vocalist is Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered convincingly. Maby Karyn Allison? 11. Feels like early Sun Ra in a lot of ways, particularly the way the booting baritones drive the groove and the slightly lo-fi ambiance. But the piano solo is longer and slightly more conventional than I expect from Sunny. Note that it's only conventional compared to Sun Ra - it's pretty damn great. 12. I've been streaming a lot of Ogun lately and this has that feel. The Blue Notes had a fairly small output, so maybe a Louis Moholo-Moholo band? 13. Much more polished sound, when the horns lay out i think of Buster Williams and Kenny Barron. If I had recognized Get Happy, I probably would have guessed Randy Weston

Way late to the party, but would Harlem Nocturne have worked?

Enjoying a couple recent Bandcamp releases that can be streamed in their entirety, both featuring vibist Jason Adasiewicz. Propulsion features Dave Rempis, while The Quartet is Peter Brotzman's last recording.

I started streaming Brandon Ross latest, decided after a few seconds that it wasn't going to be the source of #9, then remembered Harriet Tubman and quickly sleuthed out the right source: Unseen Advance of the Aquifarian from The Terror End of Beauty - Harriet Tubman

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?
