Just encountered one on a Warne Marsh album Ad Libido

My ears aren't what they used to be, due to less time for concentrated listening. My area of stylistic knowledge basically is American pre 1980, and I can look pretty foolish when a BFT intentionally focuses outside of those parameters. But here's the old college try. 1. Several names came to mind while listening to this. I never actually thought it was Ornette, but the modern sounding intro brought his influence to mind. The second thought was Sonny Criss, after the piano came in. I wasn't completely sure Criss ever got so close to the Coleman/Dolphy style as this does at moments and thought of Oliver Lake's later quartet recordings. Second time through I thought of Sonny Rollins during the earlier part, but as things became more energetic I was quite sure it was an alto and not a tenor. This called to mind an observation I have made before - If it's alto and I think it's tenor, It might be Jackie McLean. Having to choose only one I'll go with McLean narrowly over Criss. 2. The warmth and mellow tone incline me toward Art Farmer. 3. Monk composition, may be the guitarist's date. Ruby, My Dear? I'll guess Kenny Burrell, but without a lot of confidence, the Ellington is Forever sets are the only time I konw of that he played with a group as large as this one sounds. 4. Nice exploratory piano trio with a touch of Cecil lite. Matthew Shipp or Myra Melford are possibilities. I'll go with Shipp. 5. Flute's harder to pick up an individual tone on than most instruments. No Kirk style overblowing, the stylistic vintage suggests Yusef Lateef. 6. I wouldn't have guessed Sonny Stitt unless I had seen leftover MP3 tags while burning the CD (only three tracks were affected). 7. Stephane Grappelli comes to mind. 8. Two different tenors. Johnny Griffin and Eddie Lockjaw Davis? 9. Stuff Smith (or is it Svend) is the only prominent jazz violinist I know of that doubles on viola, and this sounds like viola. Well, maybe either Mat Maneri or Mark Feldman, but this doesn't sound that modern, so I'll go with Stuff. 10. Jazz Messengers? Maybe with Morgan and Mobley? 11. Lovely clarinet, slightly mysterious if not mystical. Tony Scott? 12. Bari Sax in front of a larger group, perhaps live recording, other players and ensembles have an off-mike sound compared to the bari. Maybe Woody Herman? 13. Bebopping organ. That makes me think of Don Patterson before Jimmy Smith. Don Patterson. 14. A florid and virtuoso solo piano All The Things You Are. Oscar Peterson? 15. Sounds like a French accent. Eddy Louiss?

Lay Me Like You Hate Me, noted elswhere in this forum. You're The Reason Our Kids are Ugly I Never Went to Bed with an Ugly Woman (but I Woke Up with a Few) Hold On, I'm Coming I Second That Emotion

An album I have been hoping to see reissued for some time has popped up on Rhapsody. The label is listed as Rhino, but an Amazon search revealed no CDs for it, in print or otherwise. It originally came out on Big Tree. There's one astonishing song, Lay Me Like You Hate Me, that's the biggest attraction. There are a couple of other songs I remembered as soon as I saw their titles, and I haven't heard this in many years. I do hope Rhino puts it out, but I'm glad to find it in any form. Highly recommended.

Friedman?

Ah! I remember associating Nock with Jarrettt when I heard a couple of albums that were on eMusic. Thanks for the update.

Stumped me. Like Jarrett without the grunts. That generates a few wild guesses: Brad Mehldau, Frank Kimbrough, Geri Allen and various ECM piano trios - Tord Gustavsen, Bobo Stenson ... Is the search page back up?

Just trying to imagine Keith Jarrett's interaction with that crowd... Coryell seems to have been moving toward the mainstream for some time now, and it doesn't look like even half of the CD is standards. And, they got to be standards for a reason.

The Adderley and McCoy Tyner - Quartets seem to be missing from the respective JazzDisco.Org discographies.

for the last three I'll guess: Village Green Yesterday Gingerbread Boy Joe Farrell, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones 10/29/1968 based on youtube/aol videos of two of the songs. I'll listen to some samples when I get home.

Bet they are actually Elvin.

I enjoyed Assif Tsahar's solo release Ayn Le-Any. Downloaded it from eMusic, so I didn't get the audacious Nirvana Nevermind thirty years later cover art. It's on Hopscotch. Other recent ratty pleasures: Dennis Gonzalez Live at Tonic: Dance of the Soothsayer's Tongue, Noah Howard - Black Ark, Cecil Taylor - Algonquin, Trio M - Big Picture, and the Braxton Iridium set. Also been getting into Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy's pop interpretations. I strongly tend toward American free jazz artists who emerged in the 60's and 70's (I started listening to them about 1975), although Evan Parker may be my favorite musician right now.

I carefully hope that this is good for me personally. My 07 Hyundai Elantra came with XM preinstalled. Sirius would have been my choice, first for World Series of Poker coverage, and also NASCAR. Hopefully we get all the programming. I called in to cancel my XM a couple days ago before it went from an introductory rate to 12.99/mo. They gave me three more free months, and I've decided to pay full price for one more month after that as my wife and I are taking a long driving trip together, and she enjoys XM. If the programming comes through, I might add a second radio instead of cancelling.

My personal favorites: Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue Sam Rivers - Purple Violets Larry Young - Into Somethin' I need to spend more time with the Blue Notes, and think I'll pull the Moran back out, liked it but didn't play it a lot.

What's worse, I thought of Monty Waters (70's loft jazz scene altoist) and not Muddy.

Loophole is the wrong word for it. The EU just made the honorable decision not to buckle under to the pressure of special interests. I wish our own government had been so honorable.

Did that mean not great or not good, J?

Only heard the first two tracks so far of my eMusic burn and it's sounding good. The presence of Taborn led to my quick download, and I'm an O'Neals Porch fan anyway. More later, but who else has heard this one?

Dug out Touchin' on 'Trane for a re-listen, it's one of two highly regarded FMPs that had yet to register with me (Peter Kowald - Was Da Ist being the other). I felt the music was randomized and out of Gayle's control on previous listens. Well it seems to be growing on me some, I started hearing ideas and interplay and a bit more of the Trane connection. I still somewhat prefer James Finn, (not to mention late Trane) but I'm beginning to appreciate the guy. Rashied Ali and William Parker are smokin', which helps a lot. In general I backed way off the jazz Avant Garde for several years, and have gradually been re-loosening my ears.

Philadelphia jazz scholar Harrison Ridley Jr. said that Floyd Smith was the first to record jazz on electric guitar. Can't remember the band it was done with.

That reminds me of a piano disc on Naxos that MikeWeil recommended to me here, that I got from emusic. A piano collection from a composer with a spanish sounding name ... Jordi Maso ... searching eMusic ... aaah, Severac. I was thinking more orchestral, but that disc certainly fits the question as asked. Emusic has Chandos now, so I'll hunt up the Alwyn. No accident that there is no Debussy Symphony No. 1 - the formal structures are at least somewhat at odds with the coloristic and rhapsodic nature of the music. But he did leave us three wonderful sonatas, so perhaps there is hope for a synmphony that gets and builds upon his essence.

Yes, Delius a good choice, one that has already grabbed me. I liked On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring immediately.

I'm interested in hearing the names of composers who came after Debussy and who might be said to be more similar to him than they are to any other composer that preceded them. I know Koechlin finished a ballet, and probably belongs on this list, but I haven't heard any of his own compositions. Any thoughts to share?
