Recorded 2000. Don't think it's been issued before, so posting here. I'm probably in, but waiting for bandcamp samples. https://orgmusiclabel.bandcamp.com/album/tribe-2000

ISTR Rahsaan doing some (lip) whistling. Can't recall the tune/album or whether it was credited, but I don't think it was a bebop number.

Thanks, fun BFT! Lots of new music to me, a handful of familiar performers but nothing I have in the collection. Much to think about and explore.

Damn, I totally missed the announcement. 😢 Hope it was good. Went to back-to-back afternoon concerts in Kingston today - Old Dutch Church, then the Handbell Studio. First stoplight just as I was heading back, I saw you outside Tubby's. Should have figured something was up and stopped.

I sensed a non-US theme and kind of forced the Japanese comparisons. I'm not really up to date with contemporary performers, so could only think of older analogues to many of the pieces.

Thanks, I listened to the whole BFT and enjoyed it. None of the tunes were clinkers IMO, but I couldn't really identify anything. #1 was familiar from a recording by the composer. #2 was great, I should have had a clue but came up empty. #3-5 were totally unfamiliar but I liked them. Should have had a clue about #6 since I was listening to some Ornette with Cherry this weekend, but oh well. #7 did sound like Harry Beckett but I'm not deeply into the style of that tune. Should have had a clue about #8 but sound quality made it hard to focus. #9 sounds like something Masahiko Togashi might have been involved with, but if so I doubt I have the recording. Posted earlier on #10, could never have ID'd. Agree with the South African influence on #11 and the Pharoah influence on #12, but that's as far as I could go. #13 is schizophrenic and totally threw me. Once the bari and big band came in, I had vague ideas of Japanese bandleaders like Shuko Mizuno or Toshiyuki Miyama, but then the vocals started and those notions went out the window. I enjoyed the music and singing of #14 despite not digging the lyrics. #15 sounds vaguely like it might have been composed/arranged by Kenny Wheeler, but if so I don't believe I've heard it before. Thanks again for the effort. Looking forward to full reveals. I did peek at the reveals so far.

I've been really busy this month and spending less time on the internet. Hope to have a good listen to the BFT this weekend, as the theme (which I somewhat expected) is of considerable interest to me. Wild guess on the pianist in 10: Alexander v. Schlippenbach? Not familiar with his playing, but I hear some 12-tone classical influence so he comes to mind. Don't have time/patience to sleuth right now.

Cool, and it's even on Blue Note! Highly curious about what else (eventually) gets released.

As far as I can tell, yes and it was the first performance since discovery (pieces of the video have been reposted by other Youtubers). Comments say that the piece (perhaps a different version) is now on Spotify. Funny that Bild should post it. I always got the impression Bild was a tabloid and distinctly low-brow. Perhaps that's why they referred to the new "Song".

Wow. I just now found about the following. Pity I can't make it tonight (Tues. 9/24). Carl Stone! https://www.tubbyskingston.com/calendar/electronic-pioneer-carl-stone-and-friends

Through the magic of the interwebs,

Fear not. Provided the manuscript gets authenticated, there will be a slew of recordings within a few months.

Agree. Read Skimmed the article and it was a waste of time.

I got that book via Kindle 2 or 3 years ago. It's not great by literary standards, but interesting and probably worth a look from jazz fans. The Freddie stuff is in there iirc. ISTR Walter Booker came off particularly badly, as well.

Per Wiki, Dick Hyman "played with Charlie Parker for Parker's only film appearance."

🤣

Odd album, but I really enjoy it. Agreed on Ruiz. The opening Paul Robeson Othello clip is killer and has always hooked me.

Maybe not a true "box" (2 twofer CD jewel cases in slip case)

Just starting here, but wanted to check out #10 due to negative feedback. As someone who's listened to a lot of avant-garde classical, I think it's not bad. Doesn't ring any bells right away, but there are hints of a sense of humor, so thinking it might be a Dutch group, or at least a Dutch leader (pianist?). Need to ponder more.

:tup! Complete Bud Powell on Verve

I liked certain of his old hit singles and a couple of his '80s-early '90s recordings. But not long thereafer my preference changed dramatically and I developed a strong dislike for Van's music. I checked the Jimmy's website yesterday and prices have risen! Seats near stage offered over $6,000 and the cheapest in the house around $1,500. God bless America.

I enjoy the final one (Togashi and J J Spirits) a lot. It's an all-star lineup of J-jazz veterans playing mostly straight-ahead hard bop standards (and variants). Not innovative or ground-breaking, but high energy and fun. That band has at least one other release, but the one I posted is the only one I could find. Those Sadao/Charlie albums are really good.
