Dan Gould

This ain't Percy redux, believe that. I think I have everything except a Gerald Wilson, per discogs, but I wonder if Haynes got any solos anyway with Teddy Edwards in the tenor section too.

I believe Gary Sandy got top billing he was coming off a successful Broadway run in Pirates of Penzance (?) but Hesseman must have had some stroke, getting the "and .. Howard Hesseman as Dr Johnny Fever" credit. But I really only see it as ensemble with no clear star.

Well I am thinking about putting together a Frank Haynes sessionagraphy and at least that seventies comp will only set me back about $10 to do some further investigating. (And another take of the other tune with Stanley Turrentine would be nice, I must say.)

I know this got discussed, I think in the context of this release having an alternate of the Curtis Amy/Paul Bryant collaboration, which Mosaic missed on their Curtis Amy Select: https://www.discogs.com/release/6197695-Various-This-Is-The-Blues-Volume-1 But what of any other PJ tracks? I was cross-referencing this one https://www.discogs.com/release/2390952-Various-Jazz-The-60s-Volume-I vs the CD release of In New York by Les McCann: https://www.discogs.com/release/7749815-Les-McCann-Ltd-In-New-York and clearly, One More Ham Hock Please, and A Little 3/4 for God and Country are shorter takes on the comp. Can anyone confirm different tracks, or different lengths listed to confuse people? Are there any other tracks that were unique to these comps?

All I can say is I wouldn't normally have a rooting interest but Cincy in the big game after 33 years is really cool. I'll be pulling for them.

https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/howard-hesse-man-dead-wkrp-in-cincinnati-police-academy-1235167152/ Too bad they didn't include the gag where he's reacting to the Red Wiggler's spot ("the Cadillac of worms"). Did anyone else not know that he and Tim Reid were allowed to program the tunes they wanted to play as well as write their own patter? I definitely had not heard that before. Anyway a fine actor got a great part, and the rest was history. RIP.

For those who "saw" this thread earlier, apologies but something went wrong and I had to delete the first post to fix. Thanks to all who participated. Highlight for me was Felser's comments, for sure. Track 1: Straighten Up and Fly Right, from this CD: https://www.discogs.com/release/7932327-Bill-Easley-Business-Mans-Bounce I thought this was a perfect comp starter and personally found his spoken alliterative interjections to be great. But not all did. The other reason I programmed from this CD was that our own Ken Dryden gave it an enthusiastic review on allmusic.com, but it turned out he got nothing from that particular track then or now. Oh well. As Ken may recall the rest of the CD is highly jazz-oriented and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Track 2: Cliff Smalls, untitled blues (Smalls, piano; Leonard Gaskin bass; Oliver Jackson drums) From the Gaskin archive at the Smithsonian, this was recorded January 30 1982 in Belgium. Track 3: Johnny Board, Sweet Georgia Brown Track B2 from this LP: https://www.discogs.com/release/3012034-Joe-Kelly-His-Four-Plus-One-Live-From-The-Chicago-Gold-Coast-Gaslight-Club I was moved to search out this recording after jsngrey's comments in the Sonny Stitt discussion we had back in the summer referencing the Stitt At DJ Lounge Argo recording, and his curiosity about the second saxophone on the date. Its too bad if Chuck really intended to record Board and it never happened as I think a well-produced date with simpatico accompaniment would have been as great or better than the Nessa recording of Eddie Johnson. Here, the leader is more of a trad/dixieland kinda player (not terrible by any stretch, and he did get to record his group a couple of times). Board is great thru out. Track 4: Benny Waters, Blue Moon Track 4 from here: https://www.discogs.com/master/1422776-Benny-Waters-On-The-Sunny-Side-Of-The-Street "Submitted for your approval. Picture a man whose favorite BFT comments are "before my time," "my friend Dan Gould will like/hate this," "I prefer Monk playing Monk," and of course "I love this - can't wait for the reveal." There's the signpost up ahead - you've just crossed over into ... The Felser Might Possibly Like This Zone." </Serling> Track 5: Russell Garcia, composer/arranger Track 1 from: https://www.discogs.com/master/869720-Russell-Garcia-I-Lead-A-Charmed-Life Track 6: Hollyday Brothers, track 2 from: https://www.discogs.com/release/4216569-The-Hollyday-Brothers-Oh-Brother I find it interesting that according to discogs, Medeski was about 8 years from his next recording opportunity at the time this was recording, and I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the Hollyday boys came from money, or that dad was just willing to put money into his boys endeavors. Check out the label output https://www.discogs.com/label/275418-Jazzbeat-Records Chris went back to the family company for his last record in 2018. Track 7 Nat Dixon, track 5 from https://www.discogs.com/release/14250809-Nat-Dixon-Quartet-Harlem-All-Star Check out the group, this guy got some heavyweights to record with him. And, he had the brains to control his publishing and catalog ... all of his records are on his own label. I mentioned that he got profiled in the Times. He went from a career in the public schools to an ordained minister: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/07/nyregion/preaching-the-gospel-jazz-riffs-and-all.html?searchResultPosition=1 Track 8 Clayton Brothers, track B3 from: https://www.discogs.com/release/5263515-The-Clayton-Brothers-Jeff-John Did it take so long to ID the Clayton Brothers from my hints because Jeff was better know for his alto than his tenor? I was looking thru his entries on discogs and was surprised to see that he hardly played the tenor outside of this recording, which is terrific all the way thru. Track 9 Frank Foster, unknown tune Frank Foster, tenor sax, Georges Arvanitas, piano, Jacky Samson bass, Charles Saurdrais drums Recorded May 10 1968 in Paris, my information called it "Simone" however when looking into the Elvin connection, I found a track on one of the BNs named "Simone" but it didn't seem to be the same. Track 10 Mark Morganelli, A1 from: https://www.discogs.com/release/3860727-Mark-Morganelli-Live-On-Broadway As I mentioned, most obscure but pretty good all around. Morganelli, trumpet, James Spaulding alto, Vic Juris, guitar, John Hicks, piano, Ray Drummond, bass, Billy Hart drums, Gullherme Franco, percussion. (Walter Bishop Jr and Jo Jones Jr guest on one track). < /The Felser Might Possibly Like This Zone> Please note that I programmed this Monk cover at the end of the Felser Might Possibly Like This Zone, owing to my recognition that while he might like Spaulding, he might not like a Monk cover. I could have moved the end of the Felser Zone back by one track but this was how I conceived it so this is how I will ID it. (Glad you enjoyed most of these, John. It's not like I have a deep understanding of what really works for you but I did what I could with what I had.) Track 11 Hal Singer, Track A2 from: https://www.discogs.com/release/8398291-The-Hal-Singer-Jazz-Quartet-Soweto-To-Harlem So curious about this I bought a cassette of it on eBay, delivered all the way from, IIRC, Belgium. Never seen the LP. It was worth it. Track 12 Gene Harris, number 8 from https://www.discogs.com/master/2113561-The-Gene-Harris-Quartet-Brotherhood Track 13 Percy France, The Man I Love, France, tenor saxophone, Cliff Smalls, piano, Leonard Gaskin bass, Oliver Jackson drums. Also from the same Belgium concert as track 2. Normally the group played it as a ballad all the way thru, making this master class in tenor playing (Felser's comments notwithstanding) a unique and memorable performance.

Nope. None of that record has Sir Charles as the only soloist - plus six tracks per side, no space for such an extended piece.

Yes 8 is the Clayton Brothers but its not that tune or recording.

I thought it was John Goodman. And maybe Dylan on the left?

For a moment I was wondering if this was a truly organic result or a reflection of Allen's not insubstantial FB presence but beating out Metheny and Emmet Cohen definitely says something. Congrats, Allen!

The website cannot be optimized for phones. It really has to be seen on a laptop/tablet/PC. I hope you'll take the time to do that. There is no connection between his name and the city in France other than the fact that it makes web searches and in particular newspaper archive searches a bit more messy. Especially since that town had some role in WWII because a lot of obits of veterans mention "Percy, France".

Yes - I am surprised a regular member such as yourself hasn't seen any prior mentions especially last year. Hope you like it, how did you come across it?

From Sid Gribetz: To honor and preserve the memory of the career of Phil Schaap, WKCR presents a 126 hour long marathon radio tribute broadcast, beginning 6 PM Tuesday February 1st, then running continuously for five more full days through midnight, Sunday February 6. Phil passed away on September 7, 2021 at the age of 70. For over 50 years he was the guiding light and spiritual leader of jazz programming at our radio station. His death affected us all dearly, but we have gathered ourselves to honor him the way he taught us to do for all jazz luminaries, with a long running in depth radio broadcast. The Tribute will touch on all aspects of Phil’s career, but especially his radio broadcasts. As the cornerstone of the Tribute, we will be playing Phil’s shows from the WKCR archives, such as Traditions In Swing, Birthday Broadcasts, Phil’s interviews with jazz legends, Bird Flights, and excerpts from our Festivals. The program will also focus on some of Phil’s contributions to other aspects of the jazz community, as an educator, record producer, sound engineer, record vault researcher, concert producer at the West End Cafe, and so much more. We will play representative musical selections to acknowledge these many activities. Furthermore, the program will allow us to reminisce in tempo to include interviews with figures from the jazz world, panel discussions with WKCR colleagues from across the decades, and other features. That’s WKCR, 89.9 on the FM radio dial in New York City, and available around the world over the internet at www.wckr.org and on various mobile apps.

Well I guess no one wants to figure out tracks for the revealed names let alone source recording ... Reveal coming Sunday AM.

As some of you may have noticed, been hearing a lot of the Oliver Jackson Trio featuring Percy France, and I wanted to highlight how musical a drummer I think OJ was. Now I love me some Blakey, make no mistake, but Oliver Jackson had a real gift for using the whole kit, always driving the band but maybe with a wider range of sounds and accents? I wish I could describe it better but to me its just summed up in the word musical. Whose with me? Any other especially musical drummers you adore?

I naturally fall asleep in silence, being practically deaf when the hearing aids come out, and being a weird fellow (I'm told), one pillow goes below my head and one on top. I feel very fortunate that tinnitus is not a problem for me. My wife's uncle would benefit from hearing aids at least as much as I do but they can't distinguish between tinnitus and sounds you'd like to hear.

So one extra inning, with the apparently now-standard runner at 2B to start, then a half-inning in which the home manager chooses to play offense or defense. Runner at 1B, if he scores, team on offense wins, if the defense posts a scoreless inning, they win. Some thoughts: 1. How does this get entered in the record books if the score stays tied? 2. Too much advantage to the home team. Statistically the odds aren't that great a runner at 1B with no outs actually scores, and home manager not only chooses, but if he chooses defense and has done the standard bullpen approach - save your closer for the "save situation" when at home - I could see a lot of home team wins. Keep it far away from the major leagues and ditch the manager choice. Coin flip decides.

I've noticed that frozen potatoes are hard to come by ... whether Ore-Ida or Publix brand. There was a handful of frozen fries and shredded potato but not Tot to be found. Otherwise no big gaps in the shelves when I go to the store.

I was never part of a Last Chance stampede, both because I relied on Christmas/birthdays for my Mosaic needs, and because I never considered sets I wasn't certain I wanted to hear.

True yet you're still ahead in Views.

Yes, Claytons. So which track might be the Claytons? For that matter, which is Singer? Which is Easley and Benny Waters?

Ok well I think that one place a thread shouldn't get derailed is BFTs. Can we stick with the question at hand? Brothers, not as young as the Hollydays, not old as the Heaths/Farmers/Jones/etc. This ain't rocket science and to give one more clue seems redonkelous.

No idea what their last names are but no.
