  1. The conductions of Butch Morris are an interesting later development within "Third Stream". Wadada Leo Smith has contributed greatly also, start with Ten Freedom Summers.
  2. oops: Born in Orange, New Jersey, in 1958
  3. 5 is the opening track of Abraxas Philly old timer vibists not named Khan or Walt ... Bill Lewis came to mind first, then Bill Ware. Bill Ware fits better.
  4. Speaking of northern soul, I loved EMusic's rereleases of the two Nolan Porter albums with gobs and gobs of bonus tracks. I see that his wife Candy Zappa wrote a bio in 2021.
  5. Pretty sure I missed the one you thought only I would get. 1. Jom Lucien? 2. Billy Harper. 3. 2 pianos? Chick and Herbie? 4. Murmured vocals. 5. Got to be Santana, Probably the Lotus triple live album. Similar to Singing Winds, Crying Beasts, the intro to Black Magic Woman 6. Organ, Electric Piano and short vocal - (could be 1, 2 or 3 people) and tasteful drums and bass. Without much of a clue, I'll say Barbara Dennerlein 7. I like the sound, vibes are in the mix. 8. Not too many organ - vibes combos. Neither of the last two sounds like Jason Adasiewicz, who I have posted about a couple times. 9. Hannibal Marvin Peterson? 10. Goodbye Porkpie Hat by a piano trio 11. Soulful as hell, and a lovely acoustic piano backing, but possibly not a singer recognized primarily fo jazz. That's OK, she kills it.
  6. Kodaly Quartet on Naxos.
  7. I shared the FOMO acronym with a fellow attendee this year and he suggested it should be GOMO. Not fear of missing out but guarantee of missing out. seeing Wild Up perform Julius Eastman's Femenine means missing Ches Smith with Mary Halvorson seeing Pat Metheny means missing William Hooker with Charles Burnham. seeing both means only seeing half of Tyshawn Sorey. Tim Berne or Masada? Marilyn Crispell, Petra Haden or Ned Rothenberg? Jeff Parker, Marc Ribot or Caroline Shaw? Mary Halvorson or Richard Thompson? Dave Dougles with James Brandon Lewis or Chicago Underground Duo? As usual, missed second choices would be a pretty good festival by themselves.
  8. Fourth Generation (Whilrwind) Leader is drummer Juan Chiavassa and it possibly can be streamed on Amazon Music Jazz Album Reviews: A Round-up of Recent Recordings - The Arts Fuse
  9. 9 is Helena, the last track (#8) from El Chico. Chico and Gabor, but no Dolphy
  10. It will be the first time on the continent. I have played the worlds in Australia, Malaysia and England, all many years ago.
  11. I'm headed to Accra, Ghana to play in the WESPAC championships Nov 12-16.
  12. Timings and a quick compare lead me to ID 2 as The Barbara Song composed by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. In other news: Grant Green – First Recordings – CD (Compilation, Remastered), 2013 [r13568700] | Discogs If six was nine ... well it is.
  13. So who gets JSngry to willingly listen to ECM? Maybe Jimmy Giuffre? That might not be later than Gil Evans. Charles Lloyd?
  14. 1. no clue 2. Gil Evans, probably from The Individualism Of 3. Keeps the mood wonderfully. Wayne Shorter? 4. I think this is to be found on the Classical shelves. I was thinking maybe part of Debussy's sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp, but I hear a other instruments in there too, so no. 5. Introduces subtle vocals, still keeping the mood. I'd be surprised if it is actually who it sounds like, Norah Jones. 6. Taking the tempo up a bit. Could easily be on the Black and Blue label. Illinois Jacquet? 7. Trumpet feature with a hint of (Brazilian?) percussion. Kenny Dorham? 8. Conga heavy beat in the intro. I should know this if it's McCoy Tyner. The piano playing is of that level. 9. Latin percussion, flute and guitar. Gabor Szabo? Chico with Dolphy? 10. Expressive tenor sax. Ben Webster?

  17. Well done Organissimo Forums. All tracks identified. #6 had me from the beginning of the first time I heard it. One of those tracks that wraps you in a sound world from the start - others that do that for me are Soft and Furry by Johnny Griffin, Africa by John Coltrane, and McCoy Tyner's intro to Coltrane's Body and Soul. Escoffery's solo keeps the mood going for me. If I couldn't tolerate showy playing I'd have to give up Art Tatum and James Carter - and to that I say - no way! And Joe Locke sneaks into my top 5 on the instrument, although I wouldn't expect everyone to agree.
  18. It seems Ken Dryden is a fan of the sax on #6. I was surprised to find out that the saxophonist was born in the UK, but lives in New York City now. The marimbist/vibist has more records as a leader than the sax, but this is the saxist's date.
  19. Got to see him at Big Ears with the second generation of Coltrane and Garrison. I have known and respected his name for almost 50 years.
  20. Zeena Parkins, Ned Rothenberg and Tomas Fujiwara are the jazziest of the new adds
  21. Pick one out for me.
  22. At this point, I have no objection to unlimited disclosure of performance enhanced (Shazam) information. Still hoping Tim Webb avoids spoilers and gives it a go.
