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

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.

Kelley's CV isn't exactly filled with scholarly tomes about jazz or jazz musicians outside of the Monk book, as far as I know. It is filled with radical Marxist and other beliefs/assertions highly typical of today's "higher" education. It's a minor miracle that his regular work didn't overwhelm the deep scholarship of the Monk book.

Seriously, Larry? You skipped an important bit: Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot Social Security: The Phony Crisis ©1999, 200 pages Cloth $27.00 ISBN: 978-0-226-03544-4 Paper $12.00 ISBN: 978-0-226-03546-8 You use something from the last fucking millenium to pretend that all is still fine? That's the kind of shit that really ought to be kept out of this thread.
-
What exactly is the "shit"? I've provided links and pull quotes to the original source material. The piece is accurate. Or was it the Trump quote at the end of the piece that brought politics into it? The fact of Social Security facing a point of insolvency - inability to pay full benefits by law in less than a decade - should not be controversial as "News of The Day" regardless of what outlet is reporting it.

SS has always been a pay-as-you-go system. What you or I put in is immaterial to the solvency. SS collected more than needed from a broader base of workers -in the past. This made it "over funded" but since the revenue always went into general expenditures, it was never 'set aside' in any real sense. The over-collection time is rapidly coming to an end - ten years away right now, when, yes the Social Security Trust fund (which was filled with T-Bills, not actual money) is running out and will be ... what's the word? Bankrupt in 2033. Would there be less objection to the source if they had said "empty" instead? At that point, there will be a nearly 25% reduction in benefits across the board. But apparently for many on this site, dismissing the messenger is easier than dealing with the fundamental accuracy of the message. (And by the way, I am not sure if this analysis takes into consideration any intervening recession, wherein we can predict that inflows will decline as employment declines, and outflows will increase as inevitably some close-to-retirement people will choose to file for benefits earlier than planned, if their employment situation dictates it.)

Original source: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58564 In CBO’s projections, spending on Social Security exceeds revenues to the program in 2022 and increases relative to GDP over the next 75 years, while revenues remain stable. If combined, the program’s trust funds would be exhausted in 2033. CBO projects that if Social Security outlays were limited to what is payable from annual revenues after the trust funds’ exhaustion in 2033, Social Security benefits would be about 23 percent smaller than scheduled benefits in 2034. They would be 35 percent smaller by 2096, and the gap would remain stable thereafter.
