Corrections welcome. Thanks very much for taking the time to listen, for your input and for helping me to spread these discs. It was fun.

hehehehehe

Wasn't "The Rise & Fall..." issued as Vortex? I assume you're talking about the Rhino disc that also has "Money In The Pocket" (Atlantic).

-11

Thank you very much. Here's your prize.

Congratulations

I got it! Shame on us!!!! The only excuse is that it's one of his least known albums ..... click here Hurra!

Maybe it's from this album: Wouldn't be the first time we've been had by one of his albums. What is this? A Don Byron album? If so, it's not the one. I have taken #6 from a compilation that has stuff like AEC, Byron Morris, Steve Reid, Marcus Belgrave (hint, hint)... I have never heard the album which this is from (I don't think was ever issued on CD).

Please, have mercy.

I don't know who Michael Gregory is. Brandon Ross is the g, voc guy on #6. I'll post the answers tomorrow.

#9: it's the pianist's date. He also played with Dinah Washington.

Who is Michael Gregory?

Yes, I expected you or mikeweil to identify #11. What a letdown!

Bingo.

saxman, PM sent.

2, 6, 8, 9, 11, 15.

Noj, I'm sorry to say that this is not Eddie Henderson on #9.

Plug'n'Pray

Yikes, a '73 release date which could mean an earlier (in years) recording date. I'm really at a loss. Who was playing in that vein in the early '70s? Carter Jefferson, Bennie Maupin, Billy Harper? I give up. The recording date is not stated but I think it was recorded in 1972 or 1973.

Yes, I gave the date for that one. Here it is again, more detailed, plus the coordinates: New York City, October 16, 1967 I edited out the applause (actually, I had planned to mention this but forgot) but didn't touch the music. The notes in the booklet list this track 2'54.

No.

#2 was originally released in 1973 (AMG wrongly lists it as a 1974 release).

Prof. Lesch hat 'n dicken Hals.
