Does anyone know the correct sequence of titles on side two of Cadet LPS-637? The jacket lists side 2 as follows: There She Goes; All The Things You Are; Brother Yusef; Yvonne; The Moody One (False Start); and The Moody One. On my LP, the first track definitely has a false start and the last track does not.

Surprised no one's really tackled track #9 yet...

This was sort of the "oddities of the Internet" before the Internet came along. It matched what the National Enquirer reported before they switched to celebrities. Weird things around the world, brutal and horrid behavior, strange customs and peoples, etc. http://www.avclub.com/article/imondo-canei-1962-65270

Grammy-winning songwriter, producer and guitarist Lincoln Wayne "Chips" Moman, who wrote and produced hits for Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, B.J. Thomas, Dusty Springfield and many others, died at a hospice facility in his hometown of LaGrange, Georgia, on Monday, one day after his 79th birthday.

Wow!

Yes.

A relatively inexpensive way to explore Elvin's BN work is to spring for the download on iTunes of "Elvin Jones - The Capitol Vaults Jazz Series." This is the Mosaic box @ $29.99 for the (legit) download. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/capitol-vaults-jazz-series/id716174257

Just finished listening to Paris 10/27/90. Very nice; disc 3 has a wonderful vibe about it. Bruce Hornsby was a great fit for them. https://archive.org/details/gd90-10-27.sbd.braverman.9373.sbefail.shnf

No... more of a Hair Pie...

Back to Sil Austin. Found this on the net: http://thefunkshow.com/joomla/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D126:he-plays-pretty-for-the-people-the-story-of-sil-austin-%26catid%3D34:introduction

Actually, Randy, you were right the very first time. It's not reminiscent of Maceo...it IS Maceo!

These, and others like these, have been discussed many times here. Your instincts are correct: these sets are made by a company that does not have the rights to this material and has not licensed it. They are widely available. Amazon, for example, has the Silver box for $14.99 prime. Not clear to me how much DTMG is charging for the box.

So close...try again.

I liked your answers, Randy. I especially liked #6...

You don’t hear this very often anymore in Salina, Kan., but business is booming—for one company at least. Amid the blue-collar town’s shuttered factories and empty grain elevators sits the squat brick warehouse that’s home to Quality Record Pressings, which does exactly what its name says. QRP’s services are so much in demand, it had to stop taking orders temporarily last August; for much of last year, Chad Kassem, founder and chief executive officer, had to run the plant 24 hours a day to work through a backlog of some half a million albums overdue to be pressed. QRP manufactures about 1.6 million records a year—from artists ranging from Miles Davis to Nirvana—making it one of the largest such plants in the country. And demand won’t quit. “Nobody wants to hear you bellyaching about how you’re so busy,” says Kassem, 53. “But who wants to turn away work because you don’t have time to do it?” More here: Bloomberg

The difference is one of mood. The albums you mention are fairly "up" in spirit... AIB is somber, taking its time to speed up - its fastest numbers are still fairly slow. Maybe for some that's why it didn't make much of an impression upon first listening. Look at Grant on the cover - that's all you need to know about this album.

I've always loved it, ever since I owned the LP on Applause. So soulful. Start with the last track: "For All We Know." That and "Take These Chains From My Heart" are worth the price by themselves.

Happy birthday, Scott!

Oh hell yeah! With your name, I should've known you'd get your Lee Morgan correct!

It is Colin Hodgkinson and Back Door. Yes! Close enough. It's all correct except it's from the extra session included on Sonic Boom. I wanted to include something on BN in this BFT, but it seemed like most of what was released on that label would be obvious to board members. This track had the potential to stump some here. Actually, it is Leo Kottke. There is a jazz connection to this track that I will reveal in due time, unless someone beats me to it. Not the Dirty Dozen brass band, but interesting that you mention JB... I believe she's singing "Grab your hat, coat, cane..." Love all the love being thrown to Trudy Pitts. I worked alongside Danny Davis at a record store for a few years. He was also from Philadelphia, and he always brought up Trudy Pitts as the punchline to a joke he didn't mention. Like if someone was disparaging some musician, Danny would say "At least it wasn't Trudy Pitts!" It was just funny to him. Once I actually heard Ms. Pitts, I decided she was fine with me. A good description of Ike Quebec. Interesting. I actually had to look up Billy Mackel, but it's not him. Think all-star date.

Great answers, everyone! It is indeed! From their first album. Both close guesses. Carlos Ward is on sax, but is not the leader. This one is a bit obscure. But try putting some mustard on that pie... You're on the right track. It is Lee but not Curtis. Not from Tom Cat. Nope. Point your compass elsewhere. Again, no. This one might surprise you. Correct! I don't know why I've always loved this track. Is it in an unusual key? Something about it sounds very '50's, even though it was recorded in 1976. Nope. This one will definitely surprise you. Correct! I have this on her Legends of Acid Jazz release. Correct again! Again, correct! It is Oscar with Julius. Phil Urso on tenor. "Pendulum At Falcon's Lair" - what an atmospheric title! It is indeed Lucky with Cleveland and Oscar. Osie Johnson on drums and Hank Jones on piano. I sometimes think anything with Jimmy Cleveland, Oscar, or Osie on it is gonna be good. I have this on both Dancing Sunbeam and its CD reissue "Tricotism." Essential music. Excellent. The giants of jazz have such a recognizable sound that it's difficult to have something on a BFT that's not obvious. I thought presenting Dex on soprano would be fun. It is the Lionel Hampton date. The guitarist is not Herb Ellis. And who is that pianist? Correct!

http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/ We're up! 15 tracks, a little less than an hour. Enjoy, and name that tune!

I think it's a regional thing. Now that we're in Houston (from the Northeast), I find these regional differences interesting. For example, down here everyone pronounces it IN-surance; in the Northeast it was in-SHUR-ance.

My first blindfold test! It will be available soon via Thom Keith, and I hope you can find time to participate. 15 tracks, totaling a little less than an hour; I tried to be respectful of everyone's time. Instead of obscurity, I was aiming more for juicy little morsels, and I hope you enjoy.
