Dan Gould Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Note: Some images were grabbed from eBay, so they will likely disappear over time TRACK 1 "Great Scott" Flip Phillips & Scott Hamilton A Sound Investment (Concord) Phillips and Hamilton, tenor sax John Bunch, piano Phil Flanigin, bass Chris Flory, guitar Chuck Riggs, drums I figured it was time for Scott Hamilton to make an appearance on a BFT, and I liked using him so much, I did it twice . Actually, I had other reasons for opening and closing this disc with Scott, which I'll discuss at the end. For now let's just say Scott and I go way back. For the record, this is officially a Flip Phillips original though obviously based on the head of "Blues Up and Down". TRACK 2 "Gettin' To It" Chrstian McBride Gettin' To It (Verve) McBride, bass Roy Hargrove, trumpet, fluegelhorn Joshua Redman, tenor Steve Turre, trombone Cyrust Chestnut, piano Lewis Nash, drums Here's one that several people identified. We had a thread about "young lion LPs that stand the test of time" or something like that, and this is one of the discs I identified. All the youngsters sound very fine on this disc. TRACK 3 "Lone Star Shuffle" Shelley Carrol Shelley Carrol With Members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra (Leaning House Jazz) Carrol, tenor sax Barrie Lee Hall, Jr., trumpet Tommy James, piano Hasson Abul Ashak-Kar, bass Sebastian Whittaker, drums We start a little Lone Star state set with what else but the "Lone Star Shuffle". I honestly thought folks would nail this just by recognizing the tune and figuring out through AMG that no one other than composer Don Wilkerson have recorded this. Jim S. can tell you more about this musician, all I can say is, if you can find this CD (Leaning House closed up a while back) do not hesitate! TRACK 4 "Prince Albert" Paul Guerrero Quintet featuring Marchel Ivery and James Clay Texas Tenors (Jazz Mark Records) Ivery and Clay, tenor sax Paul Guerrero, drums Kirby Stewart, bass Floyd Darling, piano Well, I guess Jim S.'s identification chops really were off, cuz he just barely got one of these tenors (kudos to stereojack for guessing the other) and he was the one who's mention of this LP led me to find it and ultimately replace his worn out cassette. For shame, Jim, for shame! (Even if you did almost come up with the leader's name later on) TRACK 5 "Footprints" Frank Morgan Raising the Standard (HighNote) Frank Morgan, alto sax George Cables, piano Curtis Lundy, bass Billy Hart, drums I had a couple of reasons for programming Frank Morgan and this tune: First of all, I really love Frank Morgan's playing of late. His HighNote recordings are all highly recommended. Secondly, sometime fairly recently, I noticed Allen Lowe opining that Frank Morgan hasn't got the foggiest notion how to play/improvise on a Wayne Shorter tune (I'm paraphrasing, but you get the gist). So I was hoping that we might get some commentary on his approach to the tune. Unfortunately, only Jim S. got this one, and the reviews on the performance were kind of mixed overall. TRACK 6 "Moanin'" James Williams and Bobby Watson Soulful Serendipity (We Always Swing Jazz Series) Williams, piano Watson, alto sax (Pamela Watson sings on one tune on the CD) I figured this one would throw a lot of people off, even though I only became aware of this CD through a posting here. So congratulations to Flurin for nailing this one, and thanks to him for providing a link to where this CD can be purchased: here at CD Baby. And this CD deserves a wide audience. TRACK 7 "Please Send Me Someone to Love" Jimmy Smith Newport in New York '72, The Jimmy Smith Jam, Vol. 5 (Cobblestone) B.B. King, guitar Kenny Burrell, guitar Jimmy Smith, organ Joe Newman, Clark Terry, trumpet Illinois Jacquet, Zoot Sims, tenor sax Roy Haynes, drums Jimmy Smith, organ Well, I was smart enough to do a quick fade before the band came up and the announcements started, so of course a bunch of people got it anyway. I'm sure its bugging Jim R. that he said the guitarist was copping KB licks when its KB himself. Quote
Dan Gould Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) TRACK 8 "Checkered Hat" Norris Turney Big, Sweet 'N Blue (Mapleshade) Norris Turney, alto sax Larry Willis, piano Walter Booker, bass Jimmy Cobb, drums I was so glad that this track got a lot of strong reviews. Now go out and get the disc! This is a truly outstanding recording, start to finish, of Johnny Hodges' alto successor in the Ellington band. Must have music, imo. TRACK 9 "Swingin' At the Copper Rail" Buck Clayton with His All-Stars Songs for Swingers (Columbia) Clayton, trumpet Emmett Berry, trumpet Dickie Wells, trombone Earl Warren, alto sax and clarinet Buddy Tate, tenor Al Williams, piano Gene Ramey, bass Herbie Lovelle, drums Continuing with the swing oriented players. Great job from stereojack on this one, although the album isn't technically an official "Buck Clayton Jam Session" session, though I think many complained that this wasn't included in the Mosaic. So go and find a copy of the vinyl and slip a CDR into the Mosaic box. TRACK 10 "Joe's Blues" Joe Wilder Alone With Just My Dreams (Evening Star) Joe Wilder, trumpet James Williams, piano Jay Leonhart, bass Sherman Ferguson, drums Another swing stylist, this tune didn't exactly get universal raves but what can I say, I'm a sucker for downtempo blues. And with Michael Weiss giving his props to Joe, I thought it couldn't hurt to give folks a taste of one of his recent CDs. The cat can play, he always could, and you should check him out. TRACK 11 "Jive at Five" Paul Jeffrey Octet Live in the WKCR Studio 27 April, 1975 Paul Jeffrey, tenor sax Oliver Beener, trumpet John Clark, french horn Artie Simmons, trombone John Buckingham, tuba Jim Roberts, piano Matthias Pearson, bass Ronald Jackson, drums Bill Miller, conga The one universally rejected track. So why the heck did I choose it? Well for one thing, I wanted to wrap up the swing segment of the disc with a guy who was decidedly modernist in approach, and is someone that many people here have enjoyed in other contexts but may have no idea what happened to him. This being lifted from a reel-to-reel recording, I knew it wouldn't be identified by anyone (though I've actually provided a copy to Jim S., so apparently the performance was so bad he'd willfully forgotten he'd ever heard it.) The radio broadcast included "Minority", "Some Other Blues" and "Mr. P.C" but it remains a mystery as to how and why the group got this opportunity for a live, in-studio broadcast. Did they have an upcoming gig and wanted to run down the tunes? Did the Paul Jeffrey Octet play semi-regularly? One can blame the location for the crappy piano, but why was the band so ragged? TRACK 12 "Since I Fell For You" Barbara Dane Livin With the Blues (Dot) Barbara Dane, vocal Earl "Fatha" Hines, piano Benny Carter, trumpet Plas Johnson, tenor Herbie Harper, John Halliburton, trombone Shelly Manne, drums Leroy Vinnegar, bass Some liked the vocals, some didn't, but none of you guessed at what I wanted you to guess at: You were supposed to say that it must be Sweets Edison on trumpet and I was going to say "NO! This is the only recording Benny Carter ever made in which he stuck exclusively to trumpet!" But n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o! Anyway, who was Barbara Dane? She started out in this blues/jazz vein, by the 60s she turned to folk where she has stayed ever since. I believe she's still around even today. I haven't heard her work in her preferred genre, but based on this one album I wish she had recorded more. TRACK 13 "Blues Up and Down" Scott Hamilton & Harry Allen Heavy Juice (Concord) Hamilton and Allen, tenor sax John Bunch, piano Dennis Irwin, bass Chuck Riggs, drums A number of people figured that tracks 1 and 13 were the same group, though the tenors weren't the same pairs, but why did I choose to program Scott twice? Well, number one, I liked the idea of tying the disc together with a nice bow (Blues Up and Down knock off - Blues Up and Down). But I also wanted to give an example of Scott back when he was getting paired with swing masters (he also recorded with Buddy Tate a couple of times), to see if anyone (Jim S.) would make comments along the lines of "young guy being taken to school by an old guy who actually lived it" or something similar. Then, by wrapping things up with a recent Hamilton recording, see if anyone perceives a difference. For me, while Scott started out indebted to his musical elders, I have felt for quite some time that he has developed his own mature voice that is recognizable and very enjoyable. Oh well - another BFT rule: Don't plan on people discussing what you want them to discuss when you pick the track. From Scott Hamilton's development as an artist to Frank Morgan's approach to Wayne Shorter, it just doesn't work. Thanks again to everyone for participating, I had a blast reading the responses.

JSngry Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) TRACK 3 "Lone Star Shuffle" Shelley Carrol Shelley Carrol With Members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra (Leaning House Jazz) Carrol, tenor sax Barrie Lee Hall, Jr., trumpet Tommy James, piano Hasson Abul Ashak-Kar, bass Sebastian Whittaker, drums Jim S. can tell you more about this musician, all I can say is, if you can find this CD (Leaning House closed up a while back) do not hesitate! Indeed! Shelley's about my age, maybe a few years younger, but if anybody qualifies as an "old soul", it's him. He's always played like this. He also plays more "modern", but with this same type feel. It's because he grew up in houston, and was intimate (in the non-sexual way ) with Wilkerson and Arnett Cobb from a very early age. I think he told me that he even dated Cobb's daughter for a while. Shelley can tell you stories about Don that you wouldn't believe. And he thinks of Arnett as his "father", that's how close they were. Point is, this shit is in his blood, not from a distance, or through some "love" for the music that is from afar, but because of his environment. A lot of younger guys can "play the style", but if you haven't lived it, really lived it, there's going to be something, a crucial something imo, missing. Shelley's lived it, and ain't nothing missing. TRACK 4 "Prince Albert" Paul Guerrero Quintet featuring Marchel Ivery and James Clay Texas Tenors (Jazz Mark Records) Ivery and Clay, tenor sax Paul Guerrero, drums Kirby Stewart, bass Floyd Darling, piano Well hell, I thought that might be it, I've got it on CDR, but I don't listen to it hardly at all because I heard those guys umpteen jillion times with their own rhythm sections, and hearing them with this one kinda pisses me off. Long story.... Let's just say that Marchel & Heavy are/were real jazz musicians, and that the rhythm section cats are/were top-shelf professional musicians and leave it at that. It doesn't matter any more. TRACK 5 "Footprints" Frank Morgan Raising the Standard (HighNote) Frank Morgan, alto sax George Cables, piano Curtis Lundy, bass Billy Hart, drums the reviews on the performance were kind of mixed overall. Yeah, I noticed. That's a drag. Morgan's really opening up here, I think. Works for me, but mileages vary, as the say. TRACK 6 "Moanin'" James Williams and Bobby Watson Soulful Serendipity (We Always Swing Jazz Series) Williams, piano Watson, alto sax Never been too much of a Bobby Watson fan, but I really dug this. Maybe it's the intimacy of the setting. I very much appreciate the "smallness" of the playing here - no "gestures" or "signifyin'", just nice storytelling. Wish there were more jazz players will (or even able) to "go small" like this. It's a good thing. Edited August 25, 2006 by JSngry Quote
Stereojack Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 TRACK 11 "Jive at Five" Paul Jeffrey Octet Live in the WKCR Studio 27 April, 1975 Paul Jeffrey, tenor sax Oliver Beamer, trumpet John Clark, flugelhorn Artie Simmons, trombone John Buckingham, tuba Jim Roberts, piano Matthias Pearson, bass Ronald Jackson, drums Bill Miller, conga Trumpeter's name is Oliver Beener. You did stump us with this one, Dan, but most didn't think much of it. Quote
JSngry Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 TRACK 8 "Checkered Hat" Norris Turney Big, Sweet 'N Blue (Mapleshade) Norris Turney, alto sax Larry Willis, piano Walter Booker, bass Jimmy Cobb, drums Wow. I ahve him playing that with Ellington from back in the day, but it's been soooooo long.... Never would have guessed it! TRACK 10 "Joe's Blues" Joe Wilder Alone With Just My Dreams (Evening Star) Joe Wilder, trumpet James Williams, piano Jay Leonhart, bass Sherman Ferguson, drums I've heard & enjoyed much Joe Wilder over the years, but this one... Honestly, I thought it might have been a Wynton cronie, or even Wynton himself. Great to hear an old vet still playing though. TRACK 11 "Jive at Five" Paul Jeffrey Octet Live in the WKCR Studio 27 April, 1975 Paul Jeffrey, tenor sax Oliver Beamer, trumpet John Clark, flugelhorn Artie Simmons, trombone John Buckingham, tuba Jim Roberts, piano Matthias Pearson, bass Ronald Jackson, drums Bill Miller, conga The one universally rejected track.

Haven't gotten to that particular portion of the blitzgreig yet... Honestly, I dig Paul Jeffreys, but this is pretty lame. Shit happens. But I thought I heard a French Horn, & I see the name of John Clark. Are you sure he's on flugelhorn & not French Horn? TRACK 13 "Blues Up and Down" Scott Hamilton & Harry Allen Heavy Juice (Concord) Hamilton and Allen, tenor sax John Bunch, piano Dennis Irwin, bass Chuck Riggs, drums For me, while Scott started out indebted to his musical elders, I have felt for quite some time that he has developed his own mature voice that is recognizable and very enjoyable. I agree. He still sounds like a younger guy playing an older style music, but as the years have passed, he's lost the "self-consciousness" that made his earlier work sound sorta, for lack of a better word, wrong to me. Now it's like, hey, this is how he plays, he obviously digs playing this way and doesn't want to play any other way, and he's gotten fully comfortable with doing what he does. I'm certainly ok with that as a matter of personal choice/growth/whatever, because it's exactly that - a personal choice. I can definitely hear the difference between the Hamilton of now & the Hamilton of then, and it's a difference that I find pleasant. Harry Allen? I just don't know about that guy. I've heard too much of his stuff (he seems to have been a favorite on KNTU) where the mimickry is just too damn intense, and that creeps me out in a major way. But he sounds ok here. Nothing spectacular, but solid playing. Maybe he's getting over his cutesy, listen-to-how-much-I-can-sound-like-my-heroes phase and settling into just playing the music. I certainly hope so. Quote

mikeweil Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 TRACK 4 "Prince Albert" Paul Guerrero Quintet featuring Marchel Ivery and James Clay Texas Tenors (Jazz Mark Records) Ivery and Clay, tenor sax Paul Guerrero, drums Kirby Stewart, bass Floyd Darling, piano I jumped at this LP when it was issued, but was somehow disappointed, as much as I dig James Clay. I think the rhythm section was not the perfect match, and the sound doesn't do them tenors justice. It's so nice that they got around to record this LP, but it didn't really take off, IMHO. Great choices all around, Dan! Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 28, 2006 Report Posted August 28, 2006 Been through this disc in detail now with the answers and I've now got 5 albums to find. Christian McBride – Getting’ to it – Verve (I've tended to ignore McBride in the past and, on the strength of this, that was, as usual, a mistake. Any other stuff I should put in the list for early investigation - a euphemism for purchase?) Shelley Carroll – Lone star shuffle – Leaning house jazz Frank Morgan – Raising the standard – High note Buck Clayton – Songs for swingers – Columbia Joe Wilder – Alone with just my dreams – Evening star I think that indicates that you damn well got through to me, Dan. Thanks! MG Quote

Thanks! MG Glad to hear it, MG. The Joe Wilder is, I believe, available through CDBaby (if not that album, than his later Evening Star release, which is equally good). On the question of Christian McBride, he's headed into more fusion-electronic stuff in recent years that has turned me off, so I'd look for samples before buying his other CDs. I did like the Verve release Tribute to Herbie Hancock which is intereresting in that its McBride, Nicholas Payton and Mark Whitfield (no pianist in a "Herbie" tribute Cd). A somewhat similar tribute album is this one where McBride, Stephen Scott and Roy Hargrove play a set of Bird tunes (similar in that there is no one playing alto sax). I like both of those discs.

Jim R Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Well, we just got back from a long and grueling trip (our oldest child is now officially a college student). I know this is late, and I wish I'd had more time to spend with the music and the discussion (haven't even revisited that thread yet). At any rate... TRACK 7 "Please Send Me Someone to Love" Jimmy Smith Newport in New York '72, The Jimmy Smith Jam, Vol. 5 (Cobblestone) B.B. King, guitar Kenny Burrell, guitar Jimmy Smith, organ Joe Newman, Clark Terry, trumpet Illinois Jacquet, Zoot Sims, tenor sax Roy Haynes, drums Jimmy Smith, organ Well, I was smart enough to do a quick fade before the band came up and the announcements started, so of course a bunch of people got it anyway. I'm sure its bugging Jim R. that he said the guitarist was copping KB licks when its KB himself. You're absolutely right, of course. At least I was in the right ballpark... I guess the setting (and perhaps the recording quality) threw me off... or something. Hey, at least I nailed B.B. TRACK 8 "Checkered Hat" Norris Turney Big, Sweet 'N Blue (Mapleshade) Norris Turney, alto sax Larry Willis, piano Walter Booker, bass Jimmy Cobb, drums I was so glad that this track got a lot of strong reviews. Now go out and get the disc! This is a truly outstanding recording, start to finish, of Johnny Hodges' alto successor in the Ellington band. Must have music, imo. I was re-reading my comments on this disc, and it occurred to me that I never got around to listening to this again. I was very impressed with this, and I still can't accept how short this track was! TRACK 10 "Joe's Blues" Joe Wilder Alone With Just My Dreams (Evening Star) Joe Wilder, trumpet James Williams, piano Jay Leonhart, bass Sherman Ferguson, drums Another swing stylist, this tune didn't exactly get universal raves but what can I say, I'm a sucker for downtempo blues. And with Michael Weiss giving his props to Joe, I thought it couldn't hurt to give folks a taste of one of his recent CDs. The cat can play, he always could, and you should check him out. First of all, I have owned this CD for many years (my database shows that I bought this in 1994 ). I think I always enjoyed Wilder on this a lot more than his supporting cast, and I have to say I haven't played it more than a few times. One thing that's surprising me here is that you seem to have left out (and nobody has mentioned it) the guitar player!?... Remo Palmier. His tone on this reminded me of a latter-period Herb Ellis sound (unfortunately ). TRACK 13 "Blues Up and Down" Scott Hamilton & Harry Allen Heavy Juice (Concord) Hamilton and Allen, tenor sax John Bunch, piano Dennis Irwin, bass Chuck Riggs, drums A number of people figured that tracks 1 and 13 were the same group, though the tenors weren't the same pairs, but why did I choose to program Scott twice? Well, number one, I liked the idea of tying the disc together with a nice bow (Blues Up and Down knock off - Blues Up and Down). But I also wanted to give an example of Scott back when he was getting paired with swing masters (he also recorded with Buddy Tate a couple of times), to see if anyone (Jim S.) would make comments along the lines of "young guy being taken to school by an old guy who actually lived it" or something similar. Then, by wrapping things up with a recent Hamilton recording, see if anyone perceives a difference. For me, while Scott started out indebted to his musical elders, I have felt for quite some time that he has developed his own mature voice that is recognizable and very enjoyable. When I compared this track with the disc's opener, I commented that this track sounded a lot more "polished". I meant that in the sense that it sounded more mature, more like veteran players were involved. I wouldn't have expected that both featured Hamilton, and I have to say I'm impressed with the difference the years have made. Thanks again to everyone for participating, I had a blast reading the responses. Thanks again for another soulful BFT. When's your next turn? Edited August 29, 2006 by Jim R Quote

tkeith Posted August 23, 2013 Report Posted August 23, 2013 The beginning of the test went about as well as expected. Never heard of Shelley Carrol, but I need to look him up. Ah, Prince Albert, a title that mocks me. FRANK MORGAN!!!! Jeez! At least I had the anger correct. Holy smokes! Bobby Watson is also a surprise; given my comments, James Williams is not. I liked James, but he always got a little too doo-wop flashy for my ears. MAN I wish I had heard track 7!!!! I almost guessed Norris Turney, but I psyched myself out. Jesus! I danced around it but, I should have had it. Even REFERENCED Buck! Idiot! At least Budy didn't fool me. I'm not familiar with Wilder, but sounds like I need to get that way. James Williams at his best if he had me guessing Gene. Gah! Jive at Five! Another title to mock me. I only recently discovered Jeffrey's work. The band just didn't click for me on this. I would NOT have guessed Barbara Dane. Helluva band, too! I thought about guessing Harry Allen, but it would have been just that, because I'm not sure I've ever heard more than two songs by him. Lots of new stuff for my ears. Thanks! Quote
