    1. I believe this is the band Roots. The alto solo is Arthur Blythe and I am guessing that the tenor solo is by Chico Freeman (hey, it could be Nathan Davis but I’m guessing Freeman). The piano I think is Don Pullen although the solo doesn’t go all the way there the way I expect most Pullen solos to go. I really like this band and this version of St. Thomas.

    2. If there is any musician I like to think I can pick out its George Adams. I’d say given the background that this is George with the Gil Evans orchestra. The feeling I got from this was “Whoa, there’s got to be more than that”. So, is there?

    3. Well I started out so strong and now I am back to squinting and shrugging. I have no idea who this is. I like the performance and the tenor sounds like an older musician who also kept abreast of developments so I’d guess maybe Frank Foster.

    4. More confusion for me. I am thinking the tenor soloist is Lockjaw Davis.

    5. Totally clueless although I liked it.

    6. The alto solo is maybe by Sonny Criss.

    7. Once again, no idea. This is why I like to listen to people’s BFT’s but don’t usually put on a public display of ignorance. I dug the soprano solo, I thought the piano solo was a little corny.

    8. I didn’t really care for this. Can’t really come up with an intelligent guess. Probably would have enjoyed more had I been there when they played it.

    9. I feel like I should be able to id the tune and the tenor, but I can’t. I was really struck by how the tenor held a single note for a long time at a couple of points. Overall I liked this. If I had to guess I’d say the piano reminded me of Tommy Flanagan.

    10. I liked the sparse approach to the piano which still had, to me, great feeling. I am thinking this is someone more contemporary. The sax sounded like Chris Cheek to me.

    I burned these tracks to a disc and listened while driving around the past couple of days. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll get to the rest over the weekend.

    I have only heard a few of his Reservoir releases, have several earlier lps and a couple of the Reservoir cd's. I like Nick Brignola alot. There is a very nice video around that he did for a public tv station. It seems he chose to be a big fish in a small pond.
