You know I love you man, but I cannot take that seriously, Not at face value anyway.

Yes, and all that's about Vietnam, so again I ask, post-what war? And I'm sure that most adults of our kids' age have a whole other conception of "postwar", so really, all this notionality about "postwar" being some shorthand for post WWII is some kind of chrono-myoptic narcissism.

Is it possible that he used ghostwriters, or that accurate records of arrangers have not survived? Not saying that as a dis, just that somebody who wrote that well should not have hid their light under a bushel.

I've come to respect the hell out of his "commercial" work. Coming to terms with the exact nuances of his reading of "Europa" was a fucking head trip. He was feeling that stuff in a way that not may other attempters of the same thing were. RIP, El Apasionado

Aretha Franklin is all that, but Ray Charles was even more of all that, and let's not forget about Adele, and her postwar accomplishments.

No, seriously, are there any other records that he arranged? I mean, it's pretty high-shelf stuff, especially those wide sax voicings...Oliver, Gerald, not too many more...if he arranged some singer date or something, I want to hear it now, that's fine writing.

That arrangement's a beaut...are there other records that Joe Castro did the arranging for?

Larry & Buddy?

"postwar"...which war are we talking about?

Is #10 Teddy Edwards with Gerald Wilson? I could also guess Onzy Matthews, but no Onzy cuts that I know are that long. As for the Dorham/Thad-not Thad thing (and yeah, I hear three trumpeters, not so much on the head as in the soloists) here's a list of all known Dorham recordings. If our BFT mystery cut is not found here, hen either it's a true find, or else the record label gt it all wrong:http://www.jazzdisco.org/kenny-dorham/discography/

I can't hear that being anybody besides Thad Jones.

Got some kind of pseudo-flu thing going on, so the usual thanks and disclaimers, feverishly in place, let's be breif! TRACK ONE - Booker Ervin, from Booker 'n' Brass? TRACK TWO - Sounds like Woody Shaw and Thad Jones?!?!? And then some other guy? The pianist's com reminds me of Richie Powell? Are we here? http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-best-of-the-jazz-trumpets-mw0000201156 If so, I can hear KD in retrospect, the tone, more chromaticism than usual but the tone, yeah. I would not have guessed Howard McGhee, sorry Maggie. TRACK THREE - Is this one of the Don Wilkerson in Houston live things? Love the tenor player, find the rest of the band kind of annoying. And oh good, there's alto! TRACK FOUR - Well, that's Blakey, early 70s probably. Love that tenor. John Gilmore meets Charles Lloyd! Not Woody Shwa, though, who would be the go to pick for this vintage. No matter, that's a meaty piece of meat! TRACK FIVE - Don't think it's Hawk, but you don't get there without Hawk. Like that coda, sweet! Flip Phillips? Charlie Ventura? That's solid. TRACK SIX - Ok, that's not Grant Green, and that it sounds so much like Grant Green is a problem for me. I would have wildass guessed Rhoda Scott w/Thad/Mel, but nothing on that record is that long. It's not bad at all, just maybe lacking some kind of spark, although I like the trombone, he/she is not a "clean" player at all, and let's hear it for that! TRACK SEVEN - Will this be the requisite Gene Harris cut? "Please Send Me Someone To Love". It has good flavor. TRACK EIGHT - Sounds like Les McCann playing Senor Blues. Probably isn't, but that's what it sounds like. Eddie HArris, where are you? TRACK NINE - Swear to god, that first tenor player sounds like Flip Phillips. Second guy, like Scott Hamilton with Griff in the shadows? Don't know if I care for the pianist, seems kind of...florid. Tenor players, y'all go on in. Piano player, you wait here. I don't see your name on the list. TRACK TEN - Oh HELL yeah! Sounds like an Oliver Nelson chart, the sax voicings...is it Ray Charles? That tenor player knows his horn like a lover knows there partner, where all the soft spots and hidden curves are.

A hot dog made her lose control.

Wow, cool. Glad to hear that family was served. Also hope that all these Baker things are being archived someplace besides ppeople's closets...probably hard to imagine now, but those transcriptions and the commentaries that accompanied them were a former of education that some us would have never gotten otherwise in our time/place.

Plenty of music there. Enjoy!

This one: So deep in the pocket it oughta be called Lint!

Different time/place/world/etc, obviously, but I never heard him until 1975, when the Milestone 2-fer of the Russell selections was released! It was almost a novelty, hearing "David Baker" actually play jazz, all the people I was hanging with only knew of his through his educational output. Believe me, though, things like this mattered in that they penetrated a subset of humanity that would otherwise either not known at all or else would have reflexively recoiled in horror and never reconsidered. Can't win 'em all, obviously, but still, it was there.

Anybody ever hear that Jazz At Canterbury tape?
