  1. I was watching "Straight, No Chaser" last night, fell asleep and woke up during "Ruby, My Dear" - disc 1, track 1 must be this tune, not "Ask Me Now" as I initially guessed. This blindfold test costs me sleep.
  2. I don't think it's too late. Where are you located? If you're in Europe, send me a private message with your address and I'll send you copies.
  3. Got the discs some hours ago and started listening to disc 2 while doing some other stuff. I like the diversity of the material compiled (guess the same will be true for disc 1). I'll come back and edit this post whenever something comes to mind (this isn't against the rules, is it?). Disc 2 1. Ned Rothenberg is the only saxophone player I know with a similar sound. I don't think it's him. No idea. 2. No clue. Percussionists Arto Tuncboyaciyan and Leon Parker come to mind. The saxophonist sounds like Wolfgang Puschnig 3. I hardly ever listen to music with singers, no clue. Sounds like it was recorded in the mid seventies. Is David Sanborn involved? I'm not going to buy this record. 4. Definitely Steve Swallow on electric bass, most likely Carla Bley on organ, piano and probably Hiram Bullock on guitar, the horns could be anyone. Very nice tune. Swallow's tone is great. edit (12/9): AMG 5. No clue who this could be. 6. No idea. Great track. 7. No clue, Braxton, Rivers? It leaves me cold. 8. Count Basie Orchestra with Lester Young. 9. "Dexterity", no clue who the musicians are. Very cool bass solo. 10. ? 11. Nice song, I like the groove at the beginning/end. Don't know who it could be. Disc 1 1. Ask Me Now. Kirk Lightsey on piano? Probably not. I like this one and will add it on my "things to get" list. I don't like the muddy sound of the bass. edit: another guess on the pianist - Joey Calderazzo. edit (12/11): the tune is "Ruby, My Dear" 2. No idea. The voice at the very end sounds like Fats Waller but it's definitely not Fats Waller. 3. The intro of this piece was very promising. I really liked it until 0:55, good tune. No idea who is playing. 4. Hm, dumb guess: Henry Mancini&Orchestra? This song reminded me that I don't like fuzz tone guitar solos. 5. James Brown? Never heard him in a context like this (in case it's James Brown). 6. No idea who could make such sweet string arrangements. 7. I'm familiar with the deconstructed theme that's used here but I can't name it. This track leaves me cold. 8. Hm hm, Jerry Jemmott on el-bass? 9. ? 10. ? 11. ? 12. Art Ensemble Of Chicago. I like it, puts me in a nice mood. Towards the end this piece reminds me of going home drunk early in the morning. 13. No idea. 14. Must be Stan Getz. Jim Rainey guitar, Bill Crow bass? Hell, I don't know. 15. ? This blindfold test will result in 3-4 purchases (disc 1, # 1, 3, 12/if I don't have it already; disc 2 #9).
  4. Thanks for creating this thread, Evan. You are a good person. I was desperately seeking a new home for the retired fish.
  5. Addictive stuff http://www.sosusaco.com/product/productDet...?iProductID=199
  6. There can never be enough threads about DEEP. Thanks for creating another one!
  7. Irre! Are there any youth hostels or very cheap hotels in Darmstadt?
  8. I thought about spending a couple of days in Darmstadt to check out this place. Yesterday I had them send me a complete list of Joachim Ernst Berendt's "Jazz gehört und gesehen" TV series. It was aired between from 1955-1974 and has footage of Roland Kirk (1961), Miles Davis Sextet (1960), Thelonious Monk Quartet (1963), Coltrane Quintet (1962), Sun Ra at Berlin Jazz Festival 1970 etc. If there's interest, I can post this list (German TV provided me with copies of some of this footage and I plan to order more from them. Cost was about EUR 25 per 30 minutes cassette a couple of years ago).
  9. Mike, thanks very much for your detailed response!
  10. 05-12-1985, Irving Plaza NYC, Colin Walcott Benefit Concert: An Evening of Music and Theater for Colin Walcott. Anyone of you attended this show? Not sure about the date (allaboutjazz has an article on Tomasz Stanko who played in this concert-1984). My question: did Jaco Pastorius sit in on drums? Thanks.

  12. I'd like to know more about Hardbop's listening habits and Hardbop in general. He seems to be an important figure in the world of music consumption and music talk.
  13. The adjustable bridge on my bass makes me feel real bad now.
  14. Good idea. Feel free to edit this one, rename it, delete it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindfoldtestsignup Editing help

  16. Hm, "Takeshi's Castle" comes to mind.

  18. CD costs $ 14.20
  19. I've seen it in the cd store of a venue here in Vienna. Around EUR 10-12 I guess. If you want, I can make sure about the price and pick it up for you (postage: somewhere between EUR 2 and 6). Currency converter
