Man, we surely f-ed this planet.

It was Hutcherson on vibes.

I thinnk you're right. Thanks.

His Portuguese on the sample is not all that bad.

I do know who this bass player is. Thinking back, Percy would died a few months after I took this photo.

Age has gotten to me. I took this photo but I don't have a clue who this is playing with Jimmy Heath. This is a good 10 years ago when I took this. I don't even recall where in NYC this was.

Tony Purrone first recording I am aware of is a Heath Brothers record. As far as I know "Passin' Thru" hasn't made it to CD. I never found it.

So you're doing a little sleuthing? This is correct too. Well done.

Yes it is.

#8. Bobby Hutcherson was correctly identified. The pianist first professional gigs were with Joe Henderson, That's what this person stated. The other musicians I will reveal later.

#3. The first recording I have with him dates back to 1948 with Howard McGhee, although there may be an earlier one. The guitarist first recording I am aware of is from 1978. I don't recall this Columbia album by this band ever coming out on CD. I do have the vinyl. #6. The tenor player is also on anther track in the BFT. I had him twice to try an fool the listeners. #7. I am giving this away with this hint. (William)Bill Evans..

Another hint. #2. His first solo album came out in 1974. Here is a photo of his hands and horn.

DL please

When you're 86/87 and can still do this, you not too old.

Someone posted a few videos from his recent Athens concert on youtube. Great to see that he is still playing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYBLpNRxeFQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNfsPWNQ9qk

Happy birthday Buddy, let's shoot for another 90.

Yes, it's Roy Haynes.

He worked with Lester Young from 1947 to 1949. He also appears in Grand Theft Auto IV as a radio host on the soundtrack to the game. Owen

Maybe I can reveal #5 now. I thought for sure someone would get this one the first day.

With the exception of the last track, all the other soloist on these selections are alive and out there playing today. #1 Bucky was identified by Jim R. #2 It is a male and his main instrument if alto sax. He filled some big shoes when he was asked to join a band in the mid 70s. #3 This one, as with number 2, the flute is not his main instrument. His is tenor sax. #4 Joey DeFrancesco was identified, the guitarist is still not guessed. I would look at who is in Joey DeFrancesco band today. #5 This hint will give it away, but I am going to give it. Think of Ponce de León. #6,#7 I am give these away with this hint. These two tenor players are a year apart in age and both older than anyone on this forum. #8 This one, Bobby Hutcherson was identified. I don't know if anyone knows who the trombone player is. He was new to me, but very skilled. The tenor player is from Chicago. The piano player, who is the lead of this band wasn't born in the US. The trumpet player is from California. Bass and drums, don't solo, but both musicians are big name musicians. #9 One of my all time favorite piano players. Like 6 and 7, he is older than anyone on thus forum. #10 This band is from Europe. The group's name was derived from an American Mime Troupe that was touring Amsterdam back in the 1970s. At least that's what their web site states. #11 This guitarist and pianist are from France. #12 This band is from Italy. I guess this hint is not much help. #13 The tenor player was identified as Frank Wess, the vocalist sang in a well known big band/orchestra. #14 The Great Guitarist. This should be enough to get it.

No it's not Wynton and the Lincoln Jazz Orchestra.

Do I need to give any hints?

what ham hocks?

This looks like a taste beer.
