JSngry Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 Is the theme based on the players or the songs? The players, right? I'm almost able to make a Kenny Burrell connection to each cut, but not quite. same with Jimmy smith & Stanley Turrentine. Quote

I'm almost able to make a Kenny Burrell connection to each cut, but not quite. same with Jimmy smith & Stanley Turrentine. Players, tunes, composers .... as I said, just tweak Mike Weil's theme.

JSngry Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 I can make a BN connection to every cut save the Plas Johnson. What am I missing there? Quote
JSngry Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Cancel that - Plas appears on MONTARA. So a connection to Blue Note can be made to at least one player or composition on every cut. Quote

So a connection to Blue Note can be made to at least one player or composition on every cut. DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!! OR, to put it in the exact words in which I conceived it, "One Degree of Blue Note" B-) Cool theme, yes? Think I'll go and edit my original post and emphasize the connecting elements ... Congrats to Mike Weil for pointing in the right direction and Jim Sangrey for bringing it home! Quote
couw Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 no farm animals named Andrew? damn! played the disks again while doing other things, and wanted to thank you again for the nice compilation. Quote
tooter Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Well, if we ever get a dog we shall certainly call it Andrew (even if it's a bitch - like the theme). I listen again and think "why the hell didn't I recongnise....". Quote
JSngry Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 That Plas connection is devious! Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Posted September 8, 2004 That Plas connection is devious! When I originally conceived the BFT as a single disc plus bonus, it was because I planned to put the Plas tune on the bonus disc. When I realized that Plas still fit the theme, that was when I decided to make it a two disc-single theme BFT! Quote
RDK Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Well, RDK must be kicking himself right about now, as he wondered aloud if it might be Sir Charles, then decided it wasn't. Hey! I don't care what you say - I'm countin' it! Along with at least typing "Gene Harris" for track D2-1, I'll consider myself 2-for-21 and much better educated than I was before BFT 16. Quote
RDK Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 Great pair of discs, Dan! I'm kicking myself for missing a few of 'em... Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Posted September 8, 2004 Well, RDK must be kicking himself right about now, as he wondered aloud if it might be Sir Charles, then decided it wasn't. Hey! I don't care what you say - I'm countin' it! Go for it-you're definitely entitled! Glad you enjoyed the discs ... Quote

So teamwork strikes again! Cool idea! The only disappointement after reading the answers was the Les McCann track - too superficial for my taste. Otherwise, all soild or great music. Thanks! Quote
