Dub Modal

Classic boom bap from the early 90s. It's definitely raw but I recommend keeping it. It doesn't stream in the US, so physical is the only way to go. Ill Street Blues is great

That was nice of them! Happy listening and good luck with the sales. The Dre Chronic is an absolute classic.

That big bag of hip hop has some gems

Dune 2 Despite the efforts of everyone involved the story is corny af and they can't save that.

Nice. Azymuth is good stuff

1. Not Kenny. Track ID'd fully 2. Teddy Wilson is correct! 3. Not Goodman. Partially IDd above. 4. Not Louis. The clarinet player was IDd by Jsngry above 5. Not Bechet. No one has guessed this one yet. 6. Not Moncur. Mjzee IDd Muhal Abrams. 7. None of those. 8. Not Nana 9. Glad you dug this 10. Yep, it's Duke 11. Not Clooney. See the convo above. 12. Sax player IDd by Jsngry, but there's a Mingus connection. 13. Not Earland 14. Not Trane Thanks for taking the time, hope you enjoyed it. Someone, somewhere has that story.

She did a few other songs so maybe it was networked somehow

Was?

Right again! Shelby Davis aka The Little Mountain Sweetheart

Glad you enjoyed it! 1. Right on the song title and Getz. ID'd earlier. Johnny Smith would be the fleet guitarist. I think that description fits here. I like how he jumps into his solo here. 2. Teddy Wilson and Ed Hall correct! Unfettered indeed. 3. Spot on with Earl Hines. 4. Pee Wee it is! You're on fire. He's not the leader but sleuthing the rest is probably easier now. 5. Basic yeah, but a lot of purpose behind that. 6. No George Lewis here. Muhal Richard Abrams IDd as on keys. 7. I'm pretty sure you could sleuth this one. 8. Tabla for sure 12. Yep, Clifford Jordan it is! 14. Spot on again with Contemplation. Impressive for sure. No Gayle though... Excellent job naming a bunch of these players and tunes.

Glad I saw this thread. That is an amazing set. Right to the top of the list on my next Bandcamp purchase.

1. Correct! I love that set and this song stands out. 2. Correct on the song, but not De Franco or Tatum. 3. Not Byas 4. Not Blue Note or Hodes. 5. Not Watters. Agree on the archaic rhythm, and I suspect this song is much older than this recording date. 6. Correct on Muhal! Nice work. Not Sirone. 7. Damn, good on Johnny Smith here too! It's his work on this song as the reason this is included. But he's not the leader on this tune... 8. Holland on bass. You're all over this BFT! Good work. Not his date though. 9. Not the bassist's date. 10. Not Bechet. 11. Correct on song title! 12. Not Blythe 13. Not a Muse title, but there is a bassist involved. Good ears. 14. Not Coleman or Liebman. No Elvin. Great job! Glad you enjoyed the set. Very welcome! 1. Not Farlow. Guessed by mjzee above. 9. Not ECM actually. Although there's an ECM track on this BFT. 14. I'm not sure of any connection to Foster's Simone - it's not him or any of the others. They are playing someone's composition who is not in the band, and maybe it was originally based on Foster's song...? I'm not sure. Glad you dug this though.

A day early as I won't have time to post tomorrow morning: https://thomkeith.net/blindfold-tests/current-tests/ Hope y'all enjoy! ..

Nice! I've been a couple of times even though I don't consider myself a bluegrass fan. It's a nice festival they've got there. The down home feeling they cultivate due to the entire community being involved is pretty unique.

If you dig bluegrass I can't recommend Merlefest high enough. Definitely check it out at some point if you're able.

🤦‍♂️lol that's what I get for reading without my glasses.

Ed Cherry definitely listened to some Grant Green albums. And I can't believe I had a positive reaction to Iverson. BFTs can be great for demonstrating bias I guess. And nice to know that track 11 was from McLaughlin. But what about the last track, the live Ohio Players?

Count Basie and Benny Carter Legendary Radio Broadcasts The Basie sets are from '37, '38 and '40. Carter is from '39, '42-'43 and '46. Bandcamp link is here. The Basie is excellent. Per the notes, this is from the oldest preserved broadcast from Chatterbox, PA.

By chance I came across this discogs review of Sunday Mornin' by Jenell Kesler(?), which somewhat parallels the original post of this thread. "Norman Weinstein said of the record, “Green had the misfortune of being saddled by his record company with painfully stupid concept albums that may have contributed to his depression and drug abuse. Imagine if Impulse Records had asked Archie Shepp to do a country and western collection or a cliche-laden gospel set? Green suffered these indignities and more. Sunday Mornin' suggests just how consistently great he would have been if Blue Note had permitted him to do no-nonsense, mainstream jazz sessions.” As to this comment, I can see both sides, yet we all don’t become drug addicted because of our jobs, and Green could have easily refused to lay down these tracks, and no, I don’t think this Sunday Mornin’ is a shining hour for Grant Green." There's more at the link. I have no idea if this critique is accurate at all.

Only when listening to the BFTs here.

I have one of these but found it to finicky to use on a regular basis. And the resulting drink wasn't worth the effort, to me anyway.

I found a used Nespresso machine for cheap not too long ago and like it. It's a pod system which is unfortunately wasteful, but effort is made to break these pods down for compost and recycling to ease that hangup. Probably not going to win any tasting contests but it's easy and a good counterpart to the French press we use for regular joe. Also, Costco's mocha freeze from the food court is good and only $3.50 or so.

It's about time. Obnoxiously old school when the NFL has just about everything on the field recorded.

Reads like a jazz tabloid.

I never thought of it as him getting stuck.
