That's When Miracles Occur - Andy Pratt Gonna take a Miracle - Patti Labelle/Laura Nyro Miracle Row/Maria - Janis Ian Miracle Man - Elvis Costello Miracles - Jefferson Starship Tougher than it looked, items 3-4 were electronically enhanced memory. As a tribute to BC, my next word is Spring.

Gee, David, aren't you glad you started this thread!

Yet another reason to listen to Peace by Walt Dickerson - Andrew Cyrille continues the mood beautifully.

Google led me here: http://www.scaruffi.com/jazz/70.html More free-bop than hard-bop, but interesting choices.

An uncredited dog joins in on Serendipity by Walt Dickerson, recorded live at the Players Palace in Philly.

The trick is to repeat line 2 until the result changes, but you can also go all the way through and return to step 2 when ready.

His version of Charles Greenlee's Crucificado which I knew in an instrumental version from the Archie Shepp Montreux Freedoms was always a favorite and I've collected and followed ever since so this loss is right up there with Walt Dickerson and Max Roach for me.

McCoy Tyner - Inner Voices Benny Carter on vocals ??!!

What Steely Dan original band member played as a sideman for an entire mainstream jazz album? And Vic's vibes on Razor Boy from Countdown to Ecstacy are essential.

Clark Terry and Cecil Taylor, except it worked a whole lot better than Kenny Dorham and Cecil Taylor. Kevin Mahagony and Randy Travis. Vince Gill and Diana Krall. Maybe Strangest of all: David Murray and John Hicks.

That explains him not being mentioned earlier : ( Thanks

Eddie Higgins. And Walt Dickerson's been gone over two and a half years but I still feel it like yesterday.

Tweak it just a bit: You've got it Brad, and ain't that Goode. And you have his next album title!

What Jim said. Great fuckin' record. Can't disagree. But if you hear some Jimmy Blanton first, you'll know why they were dedicating a record to him. Jack The Bear, Pitter Panther Patter and Koko are the greatest of the great featured on Duke Ellington - The Blanton Webster Band.

I love Smokey Robinson's standards album and agree that great songs should be sung and more people listening to them is not a bad thing. I enjoyed my one live sample of Clapton years ago. And Allen Toussaint could swing or rock Wynton Marsalis, Eric Clapton and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, whichever groove he was feeling that day. I will keep an ear open for it.

After reading the thread, Kalaparusha for #4?

Haven't read the other posts of course. Enjoyed this a great deal but understand that Dan Gould will probably not. CT has deliberately emphasized the connections of new thing and freebop to the tradition. 1. Monk! could maybe be him. That's fluegelhorn, I think. In Orbit with Clark Terry? Nah, the horn is a bit clean and pristine for the more vocal sounding Clark Terry and anyway, where are the bass and drums. A short edgy section rules out Monk himself. Out guys playing way in, or maybe say, Art Farmer with a more adventurous Eurpoean pianist? I'm more baffled than when I started, but I recognize a tune from the Monk Blue Notes, Eronel, I think. Very nice. 2. Ornetteish, but not Ornette I think at the beginning and start thinking Carter-Bradford thoughts. Then I catch the two basses duetting at the end and I'm thinking Sonny Simmons and Barbara Donald, specifically Burning Spirits which I think is a two bass date. 3. A little later freebop I think. My thoughs are Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, Jemeel Moondoc and Arthur Blythe. 4. DAH-DOT! Interesting and dramatuic composition built on a two note theme. The composition reminds of Blue Note era Cecil, but not the piano. Influenced but stylistuically different. Roscoe Mitchell? 5. I had briefly considered David Murray on the previous track but I think he fits better as a guess here. 6. Ray Anderson? Not as blatantly funny as some of his work so maybe not. 7. Very Nice flute. Might guess Air but for the piano, so I'll try Ken McIntyre. 8. Coltrane is in the house. Not John himself, but more of a spiritually connected admirer than an imitator. The Fringe? 9. Almost a Harry Carney tribute for the first couple minutes, thenedges out and back in. Gotta be Hamiet Bluiett. 10. Killer solo trumpet track. Guessing Wadada because I don't know any other solo albums by trumpeters off the top of my head, but without much conviction. 11. Could be Jimmy Giuffre, his protege Andre Jaume or maybe James Emery and John Lindbergh with a like minded clarinetist 12. For me this was intensely reminiscent of Sonny Rollins St. Thomas. I think that had a guitar, and I kind of think I have heard this before and had the same reaction. Bennie Wallace? 13. I think this is post-Air Henry Threadgill. A little more populist, but way to busy partying to even think of patronizing. 14. Spiritual jazz with a populist bent. Grachan Moncur?? Steve Turre?? 15. Billy Bang is the first thought, then Equal Interest Trio as I struggle to remember if a harmonium really sounds that much like a hammond. Nah. Noticing the LP surface noise I decide it's got more chance of being 60s-70s rather than 80s, si I'll wonder if Michael White ever recorded with organ and congas.

I've been a Little Feat fan since their fourth album, but I really remember Joan Armatrading's Me Myself I tour with Richie grooving the tightest band I ever heard live, at the Mann Music Center in Philly.

I've Got My Baby Back by Lorraine Ellison. Crawled into my head a couple weeks ago and hasn't left. It's still not my favorite Lorraine Ellison song, that's her piano and vocal version of Jimmy Cliff's Many Rivers To Cross. But it's getting a lot of listening time whether it's actually playing or not. And the great Sister Love 3 disk Rhino has lots more where that came from, including a jazzy session with Oliver Nelson that's unjustly maligned.

I wanna hear Archie Shepp doing Soul Eyes with Karin Krog on Blue Note.

Sign me up for a download. Been a while, looking forward to this one.

Mary Lou Williams

Wayne Escoffery. Joe Locke's name as sideman drew me in and I'm finding the music quite evocative. OK, I'll be the straight man, Tom. Do they really have enough Cowbell??
