I find it ironic that after Jim finally upgrades to improve "security" this has started when it never happened before, not at this level. Hope whatever is undertaken works.

The quality of the songwriting rather than the specific guts inside? It just appealed to pop ears and certainly didn't hurt to have people like Dionne Warwick singing his songs.

Yet his success with the general public was predicated on being heard as simple music.

Sad news, I recall that my older brother, who had strong opinions about music would diss Bacharach and because of what I learned here I had to tell him how much jazz guys respected him and enjoyed blowing on his tunes. Didn't really change his mind about the guy but at least he found out something more. RIP.

Yeah I just stick with the insufferable prick part and stick to the Eagles. He had a minor hit with his original solo recording of "Heart of the Matter" but his instincts were terrible - jangly electric guitar. When the group played the tune live with acoustic and Eagle harmony, it was transformed into what it should have been.

Bear in mind I haven't listened to the track again since my first time thru.

Oh, it's Benny Carter.

For me the Eagles are the first Greatest Hits album and then Hotel California / The Long Run as standalone LPs. Each are extremely good. OTOH TTK has given me an excuse to re-post my hysterical (to me) "Hitler Reacts" video from several years ago, so thanks for sharing your (foolish) opinion! (The player wasn't loading for me but I discovered you can click on the video for it to play or pause.) https://www.captiongenerator.com/v/1600902/hitler-reacts-eagles-w-o-glenn-frey

There's no question that the solo releases were awful but the idea that their group recordings are somehow awful is just ludicrous. But you do you.

Could the elusive trumpet trio be led by Ruby Braff, and on Vanguard?

This thought made me re-listen (and I should kick myself for not thinking of the possibility but I suck at BFTs) ... I didn't think so at first but there's a run starting about 1:30 that does make me think of Drew.

which is what, that Phil was involved in the remastering?

Not sure how to reconcile "It's one where if you don't have the record, you will likely NEVER get it." and "And yet, it's a very well known player! " unless its an exceedingly obscure recording, never reissued and barely distributed. In other words, perfect for a BFT.

That's incredibly lucky to not have gotten pitched in a landfill, and then ultimately discovered in the public library archive. Hopefully in at least decent sound.

Yeah I would never ever peg that production sound to the late 50s. Sound is so much more recent. To me at least.

I did not know that but I've had a lot of contact with Charles as he was one of Schaap's assistants for some period of time before Schaap died. Nice and helpful guy.

I don't think I was clear - I was referencing the first five in a row as a record for other's BFTs. The streak ended with 6 and especially 7 but I did not object to any of the remaining tunes, until I got to 14. Sorry I wasn't clear about that.

Well I am always terrible about guesses or tune IDs but my overall reaction to Mike's BFT is a thumbs up. A few brief mentions: I would say a record number of tunes went by at the start that kept my attention/interest - as in, first five "worked" for me well enough to quite nice, thank you reactions. That mostly ended with number six and really ended on #7 - first to actually stop and jump to next track. #1, 5 and 9 all very frustrating for being so darn familiar but unable to name. Last, color me perversely curious about #14 but also have to say I couldn't keep listening to the end. Thanks Mike, look forward to the reveal!

Strange because Sidewinder must have been able to see it to think it was someone else altogether.

The photo I posted is the back cover of your first picture. That second one clearly not Allen (or Alan) like. 😒

So I was looking thru a discogs seller listings for other possible LPs to consider and came across something that seemed extremely obscure and therefore right up my alley for "I'll give it a listen if the price is dirt cheap," which it was once he accepted my $2 offer. The cover was the only photo on the listing and the artist was in profile but I got the LP and I gotta say, this cat could be Allen Lowe, couldn't he? What do y'all say? Amusingly he goes by "Eddie Berger" on the cover which left me wondering whether the Ed Berger who did so much for Benny Carter also played tenor. 😁

I liked it more then than I have since. At the time, fit the young lion Marsalis conception very well but comes across now as a very competent reproduction of a style from 25+ years before. As far as the idea of a vinyl reissue - are there any expensive remastering of LPs from that era? They seem stuck on the originals and not the imitators. Also I sometimes feel like the mastering is a good example of the over-brightness that sometimes plagued CDs of the era.

hgweber identified the track and the composer - Wes Montgomery. If you had clicked thru to Discogs it is revealed there in the images of the CD insert.

Time to let this one go ... someday I will figure out how to program a BFT that gets Felser-level attention (1500 page views last time) but how if I can't program that many FWL tunes? We shall see ... Thanks to those who did participate. The theme was gotten by Jsngry who said "intergenerational". I programmed tunes that had at least one "young lion" and one "old master" is the way I conceived it. 1. Eddie Palmieri, track four You Dig https://www.discogs.com/master/1025206-Eddie-Palmieri-Palmas 2. Alvin Queen Track 9 Mellow Soul – with Stafford/Jesse Davis/LeDonne/Bernstein – https://www.discogs.com/master/1842880-Alvin-Queen-I-Aint-Looking-At-You 3. https://www.discogs.com/release/11645087-Houston-Person-The-Lion-And-His-Pride Track 6 – Like Someone in Love 4. Ray Brown Trio Moore Makes Four Track 1 – SOS https://www.discogs.com/master/1068051-The-Ray-Brown-Trio-With-Ralph-Moore-Moore-Makes-4 5. Alto Summit – Woods, Herring, Antonio Hart – track 8 God Bless The Child I may have messed this one up, as I became uncertain if Phil Woods played on this or not and I did not make the effort to verify. https://www.discogs.com/master/1684019-Alto-Summit-Featuring-Phil-Woods-Vincent-Herring-Antonio-Hart-Alto-Summit 6. Stephen Scott Something to Consider - #2 Au Privave https://www.discogs.com/release/2856839-Stephen-Scott-Something-To-Consider Same as #5 except in this case, it was Joe Henderson who didn't appear. 7. Robert Taylor – Track 4 Judgement https://www.discogs.com/release/18258001-Robert-Stewart-Judgement The Felser Would Like track, and he did. Billy Higgins was the old master here, and both the tenorist and pianist Eric Reed qualified as "young lions". Stewart only started playing tenor at 17 and this was his very first recording. 8. Track 6 Don't Touch Me https://www.discogs.com/release/4955054-Saskia-Laroo-Meets-Teddy-Edwards-Sunset-Eyes-2000 This track was written by Teddy in 1960. I almost chose "Sunset Eyes," also with Ernie Andrews - good lyrics there too. 9. Rickey Woodard - Track #7 - 14th and Jefferson https://www.discogs.com/release/3979915-Rickey-Woodard-Yazoo Woodard might be the oldest of this group of "young lions" but while he had been performing for a while at this point, Concord's promotion of him - on two of his own releases, and two as sole horn with Frank Capp - surely felt like they thought of him as a young lion. 10. COHN/SCOTT/TATE – TOUR DE FORCE TRACK 2 https://www.discogs.com/master/684802-Al-Cohn-Scott-Hamilton-Buddy-Tate-Cal-Collins-Jake-Hanna-Bob-Maize-Dave-McKenna-Tour-De-Force The original Young Lion. 11. Brian Lynch & Emmet Cohen questioned answer - track 1 - Cambios https://www.discogs.com/release/6285374-Brian-Lynch-And-Emmet-Cohen-Questioned-Answer I conceived this as Lynch being the “elder", having played and developed so much since the 1980s when he and Ralph Moore played with Horace Silver, and Cohen as the youngster. But Billy Hart, who Sangrey liked best and Thom could barely hear, obviously qualifies as the “elder” as well.
