Hey, I just got this Shazam thing on my phone a few months ago, and for things I have no chance of identifying, ever, I'm going to that after the initial round or two of listening. Not spilling any secrets here, but you will be delighted to know that many of these items returned a "no result" including #2, so I'm on my own on that one. I like it a lot, it reminds me of the way a lot of local bands I would play with in the late 70s played (and similarly, the way I would try to play with them), so good memories. Of the ones I did get hits on... #1 - EX-cellent choice! Is this a non-LP cut? Seems to be? #3 - never heard of this guy, how did you find him and/or this record? #4 - not hit other than a bunch of different electronica/modern classical, depending on where I started the sampling. So congrats for trikking tekk on this one! #5 - you trikked 'em again! But I like it, whoever it is, except for the drummer. #7 - and again, Shazzm Strikes Out! And I really like this one, so I am sad. #8 - dude, my fullest props to you for going this deep in the well, again, no results, and this suriouses me, because like you, I don't really hear Stitt's ideas, but, on these speakers anyway, definitely his tone. So...waiting for the identity, whenever it comes. #9 - WHOA!!!! WTF!!!! #10 - See #9. That's a name for ya', you gotta go deep to get that one. #13 - you're right, I should. That's not Clifford Jordan on #13, is it?

#1 is "Indiana" changes, not hearing the head, maybe it's "Donna Lee"?

202 for 2021 TRACK ONE - They might want to call him Speedo, but his name is not Mr. Earl. That organ is screaming like Baby Face. TRACK TWO - I swear I might have this record. That bridge-type part sounds like a Stevie Wonder tune? Almost sounds like a Horace thing, almost. Would have to have been a Silveto thing, though. And why has it has the fade out? TRACK THREE - hmmm... TRACK FOUR - Bizarro World Ahmad Jamal? TRACK FIVE - Frank Morgan? Got that hard-earned thing going on. Drummer's kind of drag (Bobby Durham?) but otherwise, all good. TRACK SIX - "Minority"...I can like it if I don't have to love it. TRACK SEVEN - Is this a Black & Blue record? Got that sound to it. And a good pocket as well, one false move and it falls apart, and not one false move is even hinted at . Tiny Grimes on guitar? TRACK EIGHT - Stitt leaping in? but I think his knees were losing their spring. Maybe not Stitt, but it's his tone, grounds for execution in this jurisdiction. TRACK NINE - That's homemade as fuck, and I mean that as a compliment! Slide Hampton? TRACK TEN - Good architecture for this weeping willow. TRACK ELEVEN - Is that Hal Singer? George Kelly? One of those older guys who didn't get stale with how they played. Sounds real to me. TRACK TWELVE - See #11 TRACK THIRTEEN - "Solar"...sounds like George Cables' Rhodes voicings (cf Rollins' "Poincinana")...and the tenor player is trying to get to JoeLand...close, but not quite, still, a damn fine attempt, it's a real voice for sure. Mighty fine, and maybe a cut above everything else here, for the bass playing! TRACK FOURTEEN - My original comment stands: this is the vocal version of "If You're Not Part Of The Solution..."

Aubrey Mayhew was not the most un-dodgy character...

A big hamburger when I wasn't really hungry.

I was actually relieved and pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a "jazz movie" . I didn't want to see that in a Disney animated/Pixar production, and I'm very happy that I didn't. I was also very relieved that it didn't end up being a "white savior" movie although it came pretty damn close up until the very end.

`Just checked the Candid CD, it's credited as a Harrison original. Cyril Neville, Uptown Ruler: http://uptownruler.com/

It's a Mardi Gras Indian thing. Harrison is a chief don't you know.

Lest I paint too broadly... Still waiting for another Kenny Garrett record this good (and not just this one cut).

I do indeed.

Let me put it this way - hot talk in the service of cold music just warns up the leftovers. I eat leftovers, but not when the kitchen is still open.

Why would you think that? Plenty of trash talking throughout the history of this music. Plenty of assholes too. Big deal. Anybody who is into - or not into - any type of music primarily because of the extracurriculars is into the noise around the music, not the music itself. It's like people who can't deal with Brian Wilson because of Mike Love. Perfectly acceptable emotional reaction, piss-poor musical evaluation.

Anti-vaccer or sociopath? I didn't see that specified in the story.

#14 is the vocal version of "If You're Not Part Of The Solution..."

It's not, which is one of the reasons I like it. But Donald Harrison was definitely part of that "Young Lion" camp in terms of marketing, at least initially.

Indeed, a very good record.
