Tavares has some gems. They also gave a lot of musicians work, like Pete Christlieb, Oscar Brashear and others 👍

This is a great box set.

Hell yeah. The Journey is a standout track for me.

I don't have any other music like Richards', and that all comes from the Mosaic Select. There are some real gems of playing on that set (Seldon Powell!), but the accoutrements of Richard's compositions can be challenging to get through at times. This is one of those tracks.

Yep!

This Tom Skinner album smokes from start to finish: https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/voices-of-bishara-live-at-mu- Kareem Days on cello, Chelsea Carmichael on ts/flute, Tom Herbert on bass, Robert Tillman on ts. Recorded live in January 2023 and released last month. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Thanks! Putting together these BFTs takes some time and while I don't stack them with my favorite tracks, I do try to include interesting/good songs that maybe not everyone is familiar with. I'm sure that I'm not alone in that regard. If anyone is out there and feeling shy about contributing, just go back and read some of my own responses to other BFTs. I barely guess anyone correctly, and am off in one day or another otherwise. You literally can't do any worse. This is where I usually live bc unless I'm familiar with the tune, its hard for me to make an accurate guess. If I get one right, it's along the lines of a broken clock being correct twice a day - purely accidental!

I wonder if it's just a burnout factor as we approach mid-year?

Looking forward to it 👍 I may switch months next year, depending on what's available.

12 days into June and only 5 contributors so far. Plenty to guess here still, so if you get time please share some thoughts.

Incredibly strong album.

Oh man, Gerbal on drums here is awesome.

Looks super interesting This one has been on my to buy list for some time. DJ Premier classic. Some of the best jazz sampling in hip hop.

I have #5, recent purchase, and it's very good. Bought a box set of 1-4 at the same time. Will go for 6 as well at some point after it's released. Agreed on the playing of Sam Jones for vol 5.

These are supposed to sound great and I don't have this album so PM to buy incoming.

I'm not 100% sure of the details but I think it was a DWLR charge, which went through the hearing by mistake. When in actuality he didn't have a DL to begin with. My guess is their state DMV system has...issues.

I think this was Michigan, and there was definitely a snafu in their system. This catching national attention and playing out in real time is wild.

The correction to that correction came out yesterday or the day before where it was disclosed that he actually never had a driver's license, only a state ID. Apparently he's never had a driver's license in any state, ever.

Less than a week in, here's the status so far: Tracks fully ID'd: 1, 2, 12 & 14 Partial IDs: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ,8, 10, 11, 13 The Mystery: 9 Partial IDs range from a singular artist involved being named to just about the whole thing but not quite enough. Hopefully others will chime in with thoughts.

Indeed it is. A great set imo

Thanks! I'll see what I can find.

Awesome! Now if I could only find that option on the app. Maybe I'll see it on the desktop version? If anyone has a screenshot and/or advice on how to access the annual sub via the app please share.

It's great but I put Cuban Linx slightly above it.

Lol I was wondering if I should have awarded partial credit for that but I didnt want to give it all away.

Far and away not an audiophile set lol. Thanks for listening and sharing some thoughts. It wasn't my original intent to have this many clarinet times but it ended up that way. BFTs can be funny and take a life of their own when trying to put them together. Fwiw, the clarinetist on track 2 is Ed Hall (IDd above) and it seems like of those songs this was the better one for you. What do you think track 5 is? No one has guessed it yet. You nailed tracks 12-14. Yes to McDuff and McPhee! How did you come around to knowing it was McDuff on 13?
