Chuck, Can you shed light on the "apology"?

I saw this became available on BandCamp for $20 and had to get it right away. It's really good. I stood in line outside the building for most of its recording, but did get inside for the ending. It's got energy and moments of the most delicate lyricism, and I wish we were getting more albums like this coming out. https://jasonmoran.bandcamp.com/album/graves-moran-live-at-big-ears?from=search&search_item_id=111313264&search_item_type=a&search_match_part=%3F&search_page_id=1683480489&search_page_no=1&search_rank=1&search_sig=9761d77e8ac3bd67db8c60fecf5e9cf0

Mike Reed on drums on #6 Verified on Amazon Music, thanks. Never thought to listen there.

10 is a major label recording. Can't resist a couple obscure clues. Dan Gould and Mike Weil have a chance of identifying it. And did anybody notice that the trumpet and tenor never play together?

and a correct answer for the tune JSngry identified in the previous post.

We have had some last minute obstacles with using thomkeith.net, so will be starting out with an alternate delivery method. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1H-FZhCQt86dTqRgWjgkFeu51XcdSCFYd?usp=sharing Please post here if you have any issues. DubModal discovered the first link did not work, I have replaced the link above. Each mp3 has a download icon in the upper left corner. Thom has since fixed the early issues so http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/ should work now for 205. 13 tracks, just over 80 minutes. I'm going to eat some vertical space below to help visitors not see the first response and spoil the fun. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . . .

Loving what I'm hearing on Amazon Music.

Spoiler on #3 artist based on JSngry clues

Love his playing on this one: https://www.discogs.com/David-Eyges-The-Captain/master/1162649

So does the comment "Quite" confirm Bartok for #7?

1. I like this and want to hear more. Acappella. I read with interest JSngry's comments on Singers Unlimited and the Hi-Lo's and sampled a bit of both groups, but I don't think this is either of them. Likewise not Pentatonix or pure classical. The voices are "more European" than those of the next 4 tracks but the end effect is not constrained as most classical is. 2. JATP was the first impression, abd the tenor is too brawny and no boppish enough to suspect Dexter. When the vocals come in Dizzy Gillespie immediately comes to mind, and on relistening, James Moody certainly seems to be the tenor. 3. Gospel, You Don't Know Me like the Lord Do. Doesn't sound like Mavis Staples, although in the same register, and I'll guess Mahalia Jackson. 4. Down Here On The Ground. I haven't identified a Stax one-hit wonder that could have done this, but that's the feeling I get. 5. Title may well be Run Away, but definitely not the Del Shannon one covered by Bonnie Raitt. Arrangement and certain vocal moments recall Valerie Simpson, but no Nick Ashford in sight (sound?) and Vince isn't quite enough clue to get me to a better guess 6. Concise piano soloist over latter-day big band with congas. Ahmad Jamal? 7. Very short piano solo. Reminiscent of Jarrett's churchy moments, but not him. Frank Kimbrough? 8. Interesting collage with folk art lessons in creativity incorporated, then sampled and altered. I'm way out of my element here, but this recalled some DJ Shadow I have heard, although I'm quite sure I never heard this before.

I dabbled in completing my Mary Lou Williams collection and didn't know of the LP side on Avant Garde. Bet that's never been on CD.

1. Sounds like Fats Waller solo? But the sound might be too good to be pre-1943. 2. Chopsy guitar. Maybe Jimmy Bruno? 3. Sonny Rollins St. Thomas is all over this as an influence, unless it's actually Sonny. 4. Live big band date. I'm thinking the first long solo is Clarinet. Woody Herman? 5. John Abercrombie? 6. Since all the music comes from stringed instruments that are bowed at least some of the time, I'm going to guess this is the string quartet led by Maxine Roach (Max's daughter) 7. Jitterbug Waltz. Flute, alto, trumpet, vibes and rhythm, with frontliners that lay out much of the time. Also guitare and harp. 8. Gerald Wilson band? 9. Bass led group, hold the group. NHOP? 10. What's New. The way the sax player makes the tenor sound like an alto reminds me of Stan Getz. 11. Violin, mainstream sounding. Stephane Grappelli? 12. Trumpet (fluegel?) gets the first solo, so I'll guess that they are the leader. Drummerless, bassless too, just brass and piano. We never seem to get enough Art Farmer, could be him. 13. McCoy-ish piano intro, vibes, tenor sounds seventies or later. Post-Blue Note Bobby Hutcherson? 14. You'd be so nice to come home to with acoustic and electric guitars. Off the top of my head, I'm not familiar with any recordings with this instrumention. Joe Pass overdubbing himself? 15. Striding out! Don Pullen? Jaki Byard? 16. Virtuoso solo piano. Barry Harris? 17. Definitely sounds like multiple acoustic guitars. Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel?

Cool indeed. Also cool that John Young played with Von Freeman - also a local but kind of a cult figure around here, with the excellent Nessa dates.

I kind of think Dan hit on the most progressive sounding John Young track, but I just went for the Delmark and the Fresh Sound issue of the Argo albums.

John Young also recorded for Delmark I believe. I played him once or twice on the college radio station at Temple U, WRTI in the 70s.

I own the complete albums of Walt Dickerson, missing only a promo 45.

Presenting Burton Greene on Columbia. Odd that I see it on Amazon Music, but not for sale as MP3s on Amazon.

Buck Hill could be somewhere in the mix.

Wikipedia and other sources are reporting that cellist David Darling passed away Jan 8, 2021. He recorded as a leader for ECM, duetted with Terje Rypdal and was a member of the Paul Winter Consort when it also included two of the founding members of Oregon.
