Here I am late as usual.
1. Major hard hitting swing here. Any chance I'm hearing Art Pepper and Ben Webster in the mix?
2. Nice, but no clue. Grappelli with a latin twist?
3. Stormy Weather! That's as much as I get. I like it though.
4. Exactly Like You Nice enough playing. Is this some of the O.P. Telarc stuff he was putting out in the early 90s?
Probably not Oscar at all. It could be one of the younger cats like Benny Green.
5. Thought Jackie McLean at first, but clearly it's not. This one was smokin' I'll be looking for it if still in print.
6.
7. Nice.
8. A-Ha! That's Mr. Hugh Ragin off of "Feel the Sunshine". I've not had this cd long so it's still very fresh in my mind. I really dig Craig Taborn on piano.
9. For the most part the organ looses me. Tenor could be Arnett Cobb or Don Wilkerson? I'm really lost.
10. I thought Houston Person on alto, but no way. A little too long for a tune like this and the cry out at the end really blew it for me.
11. No doubt Lester Leaps In and no doubt Bird with that funny tone from the "Bird" movie music.
The tune smokes.
12. Not bad, not bad at all. I'm digging it.
13. Take a bow!
Thanks Evan.
