Sounds like a lot of hits on this one Tim. Hoping you will finish up on the latter half?

FYI - I may or may not be able to post Reveal today as a family situation is altering plans. Worst case would be Sunday night posting. February BFT can open for business whenever AFAIC.

I reached out to the Vandy Librarian about an updated spreadsheet of recordings ... and got a list of interviews, four of which were of Percy France or about him. Something to look forward to! (Not to mention 6 or more performance tapes I didn't recognize as already uploaded). Well ... a day later three of the four were released and I am excited by this one in particular, it's about three hours of Percy spinning records and talking about the music, plus an interview with Schaap that I suspect is the longest known interview especially in the absence of any recorded evidence of an interview Allen Lowe told me he had conducted once. https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/141198 Jazz Alternatives: Percy France musician host (9/26/1979)

Interviews uploaded just yesterday: Teddy Edwards https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/141129 Calvin Newborn: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/141123 Walter Bishop Jr: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/141122

Vandy seems to be getting deep into Artist Interviews now, I searched by the Type and this is the most recent page of uploads: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/catalog?current_flock=false&f[collection_id_is][]=2137&f[description_type_search_facet_sms][]=Interviews&myresources=0&page=17&request_is_xhr=false&search_field=advanced&search_type=advance&sort=created_at_ds+desc&update_facets=true&user_ip=173.171.182.128 Go backwards page by page for many more ... I so prefer these to the birthday or Bird Flight programs with too much Schaap. Let the artists talk and tell their tales.

What EKE said.

I went ahead and listened again and yes tenor two is Percy. Other one is not Cobb. The pianist is the leader and justifiably celebrated and mostly forgotten now. Yes it is Buddy and Sangrey got the group (Countsmen) and the alto. Trumpet is not ID'd. Not Warne. The saxophonist would be the referenced European in the hints I posted. With the churchy thing I thought you'd guess Gene Harris. There are no Concord recordings in this compilation. The pianist was named by Joe off of my hint, and I would say that the drummer is the best known member of the group. Yes and Sangrey got this first. Yes, Percy "No Bullshit" France. I am not aware of anytime Scott recorded 9:20 Special. Thanks for making it back to this before the month ended.

This is supposed to be frowned upon by the mods.

He is not.

Ding. Ding.

Unfortunately none of your guesses are correct but thanks very much for your comments, I am glad such a high percentage of tunes were "hits" for you.

Same engagement, a week later, last time bebop this time "Idaho".

Let's get into some hints as we await a couple of regular participants (and still holding out for @Big Al. Daahoud tracks: Both recorded in the 1980s by labels in California not named Concord. One of the trumpeters heard on one of the tracks performed quite a bit with Basie toward the end of his performing days. Tracks 5 (Id'd as Lester Leaps In) features a European and two American ex-pats. Track 14 was for the Brits. Track 10 includes someone best known for composing a standard from the 40s that has been covered by vocalists ever since. Some IDs should certainly be forthcoming now, if anyone cares.

Now I am told on the FB Rare Jazz Photos page that to the right of Blue is Tommy Turrentine.

You put a lot more attention to these then I do! Thanks for your comments, a couple of specific reactions above.

Thanks for your comments so far, @mikeweil

Was it some butt-hurt NY writer who denied Ichiro a unanimous ballot? Because let's be honest, Ichiro is equivalent to (and defensively, light-years ahead of) Jeter as HoF candidate.

👍

Almost forgot @mikeweil

Ten days to go and I am ... @Big Al @tkeith @randyhersom@webbcity

Certainly think it looks like him, and wiki says he played with Bostic after high school and before Silver so it fits 1953 time frame. Which I may have neglected to mention.

I believe so (and Loren Schoenberg did also). But my first instinct was on the trumpeter, in the profile shot.

trumpeter at center and alto are the question marks. The others I have no idea about.

Guesses?
