2, 8, 9 I believe

Bought in today.

And I'm wrong, there were two different exact matches on time. Title Track

If I'm right based on timings, the album shares its title with a drummer's middle name and the track shares it's name with a pianist's first name. Charles Sullivan

Charles Sullivan?

Svend Asmussen on 11?

1. Feels like Shepp, and could easily be Dave Burrell on piano. Who would be on vibes if it is? 2. Could be Kenny Barron. 3. Woody Shaw 4. The tenor sounds like Booker Ervin 5. I hear Jarrett in there, but between the bass player and the absence of vocalizations, I'm certain it isn't. So, Brad Mehldau? 6. Miles influenced electric music, but not Miles. Herbie Hancock, Eddie Henderson and Wallace Roney are possibilities. I'll go with Eddie Henderson. 7. Familiar composition, makes me think I know a Woody Shaw version, but this isn't Woody 8. Marilyn Crispell or Myra Melford with a fiddle? 9. Starts with an Indian sounding drone. The Indian feel is present throughout, but doesn't predominate later in the composition. Notable lack of ego in the playing, it's all about blend and flow. Really good, but I don't have any idea who. 10. Very much influenced by McCoy Tyner compositionally. 11. I really think that's a viola. Doesn't fit stylistically very well with either of the names that jumped to mind, Mark Feldman or Harry Lookofsky. 12. Accordion and stringed instrument. Astor Piazzola? 13. Sonny Rollins 14. Do we have Shepp bookends on this BFT? He had a trombone in the band for a lot of late 70's stuff.

I didn't spot the Joey Baron connection right away, but Ron Carter is on bass.

All have players who recorded with Miles

Two other thoughts I've had on #3 are Emily Remler with John Swana, and Jack Wilkins with Randy Brecker. Otherwise back to the ECM catalog, and I don't think it's Enrico Rava.

Indeed. My favorite Frisell isn't jazz at all, but his playing on Lucinda Williams' Americana/Rock/Country album West. Was BillF right on everything? if not, please let us which ones he did nail.

1. Art Pepper? 2. Feels like the trombone's date. Slide Hampton? 3. Edging toward ECM, possibly Tomasz Stanko 4. Piano and Bass, familiar melody. Angel Eyes? No, just similar. Kenny Drew and NHOP? 5. Has a bit of township feel like Abdullah Ibrahim or Chris McGregor, but I hear no keyboards. Maybe Carlos Ward? 6. I think this is Gil Evans, possibly from The Individualism Of Gil Evans. Would that be Wayne Shorter on sax? Great album! 7. Feels like it might be from this century. Grounded in tradition rather than bound by it. Kenny Barron? 8. Congas joined by Guitar, then restrained Sax, organ and bass. John Abercrombie? 9. Has a Konitz feel, but no Warne Marsh. 10. Ballad, ECMish. Eberhard Weber? 11. I like these jumpy little rhythms we are getting into here. Steve Turre? 12. Alto and guitar, tenor too. Sonny Stitt? 13. Organ with acoustic guitar. Unusual combination. Maybe Joe Pass?

The What's New with Clifford Brown is magnificent.

While I think liking Steve Wilson better than Sonny Fortune is a stretch, he does appear elsewhere on this BFT and Bryan Carrott is also on the same album. Non-brass horns on oth ertracks in this BFT 1. Jane Bunnett 2. James Carter 3. eddie henderson w donald Harrison 4. Barney McAll w Gary Bartz and Peter APfelbaum 5. James Newton 6. Jazz Crusaders w Wilton Felder 7. Anthony Branker with Steve Wilson, Ralph Bowen 8. Vandermark 5 w Dave Rempis 9. Rollins 11. Tapscott w Steve Smith Aubrey Hart (pic) Adele Sebastian (fl) Jesse Sharps (sop) Gary Bias, Michael Session (as) Fuasi Abdul-Khaliq, Charles Chandler (ts)

I don't think you would refer to Bunnett as "this guy" and I don't think Newton doubles on anything not a flute, so Gary Bartz? I haven't spotted any vibes on Bartz's leader dates on Wikipedia.

Moe Koffman?

From: https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/james-carters-loyalty-oath/Content?oid=2148415 For those unfamiliar with Carter's history, he grew up in Detroit the youngest offspring of a talented musical clan. He studied with a number of the Detroit elders, but first and foremost was middle-school saxophonist-educator Donald Washington, who ran a boot camp of a jazz band called Bird-Trane-Sco-Now! (as in Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, the Art Ensemble of Chicago's Roscoe Mitchell and the kids like Carter who were happening now). James Carter: It goes back to my musical father, Donald Washington. He always said longevity is the key. The longer a group stays together, the more it becomes of one mind as the relationship and musicianship progresses. Case in point, the classic Coltrane quartet albums Live at the Village Vanguard and One Down One Up. Those recording are great as the result of the band playing together for a while. Those recordings weren't some all-star hookup. And 10 continues to elude us.

Want to share the personnel with the sleuthing crew?

on 2 I had already started to notice the extreme lower register and wondered about Braxton. The hint would seem to lead in that direction.

Rolling Stone magazine reviews of Oregon - Distant Light and Keith Jarrett - Solo Concerts Bremen - Lausanne led me into this music and I still treasure their music. I'm looking forward to hearing this.

The theme feels like "whatever happened to spiritual jazz". That's mostly at the beginning and end, with lush grooves that don't mind being a tiny bit commercial, but well within the mainstream. 1. The nod to R&B had me thinking Norman Connors, but hearing the sax brings my thoughts to something later, maybe Kamasi Washington. 2. I've always found funk and bass clarinet to be a natural match. First thought is Bennie Maupin. Strong flutes popping up throughout this BFT. 3. Thinking of the Jack Wilson Blue note date Easterly Winds, which was a bit more conventional than most of his output. 4. The organ makes an appearance with only the slightest change of groove. Electric piano too. Stanley Turrentine? 5. More Bass clarinet, live date. Maria Schneider? 6. Jazz Crusaders? 7. Polished, they make the group sound lareger than it is with the downtempo unison and rolling cymbals. Who has the patience to make music in this style? Paul Bley didn't do many quintet albumns, but that's the name that comes to mind. 8. Trombone feature. Steve Turre? 9. Melody suggests a familiar tune, maybe with a Brazilian tinge. No clue, I'll try Joshua Redman. 10. Vibes and flute. Late Milt Jackson date? 11. It makes me think of Joe Lee Wilson, but I think I'd know it if it were Joe Lee. Not Leon Thomas, but in the neighborhood of both. But it could be a Shepp date with Joe Lee. Grachan Moncur's composition was New Africa, not Little Africa. Hannibal did some stuff with voices too.

And Herbie Nichols recorded it too, for his Bethlehem album Love, Gloom, Cash, :Love.

Denzil Best composition.

Forty Five Degree Angle appears on Black Christ of the Andes also, and it's the most strikingly different I've ever heard the same musician play the same composition. Wow. On Black Christ of the Andes its slow, stately and dignified, even as the drums do their part to energize things. The live version with Gales and Riley is a sprightly bebop romp with dramatic moments. It tooke me a full minute of back and forth comparing to convince myself it was the same composition. Great find Dub Modal!
