WOW!!!!
What a collection!
A brain teaser if ever I've heard one. At the start of each tune I would say to myself, "Oh hell, I know that one" as it turns out, I don't know sheeat. They only got more difficult as the cd played on.
The disc remined me of what was coming out of my dad's speakers on a Sunday afternoons. I'll be making him a copy of this one fore sure. Nice piece of work, Mike. B-) I could use about a month to try and nail some of these down.
1.Should be obvious, but it's not. My likey, me likey a lot.
Thought I was hearing Stan Getz, but that ain't close. Could be James Moody, maybe even Paul Gonsalves.
2. What a beauty! Reminds me of the forst track, but only different.
I wanted to say the piano was that of Oscar Peterson, but I won't.
3. Nice baritone, nice tune, nice arrangement no guess.
4. Could it be Artie Shaw?
5. "Blues on My Weary Mind" This got some Johnny Hodges going on in here. Trumpet? Not quite Cootie Williams. AMG makes me think this.
It's ugly from here on out.
6. Thought Duke, but thought again.
7. Nice beat, no idea.
8. No real guess, Teddy Wilson on piano? Dizzy? Liked it very much.
9. Violin leaves me clueless. It's not Ray Nance.
10. Not much for me to go on here.
11. A real swinger.
12. Milt Jackson???
13. I don't know why, but the tune that came to mind and sticks there is "Skating".
14. No clue.
15. Herb Ellis perhaps.
16. ?????
17. This one might be Hamp, but what the hell do I know. Nothing obviously and I'm running out of vibe player guesses. Nice piece though.
18. Short on violin knowledge, might be a Grappelli effort.
19-21, great music, no educated guesses.
22. Very relaxed, sure does sound like it could be Ben Webster.
23. Don't know.
