l p Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) 1 http://picosong.com/cvLb/ first recording would probably be before 1974. the style sounds like early 70's blue note/CTI/Hank Crawford tune? 2 http://picosong.com/cv2N pat metheny 3 http://picosong.com/cv2T pat metheny since metheny likes ornette coleman, maybe they are coleman tunes? 4 http://picosong.com/cv27 1950's? 5 http://picosong.com/cvVY Joe Diorio guitar and probably Attila Zoller guitar. sounds a bit like diorio's "Talla Sunshine - Naima Rainbow, Dance for Their Father", but it's not the same tune. 6 http://picosong.com/cvVf only the 1950's? tune was definitely released on a record, which is heard here. it's possible that the other tunes were never recorded by anybody. thank you Edited August 29, 2014 by l p Quote
sgcim Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 #2 just sounds like PM trying to blow on ATTYA or maybe some other standard. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 #4 is a very poor recording of Ray Charles singing 'Granny wasn't grinning that day', from the LP 'Ray's moods'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxxBTSRiIfQ MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Just looked at the sleeve of the Ray Charles LP. It's a song by Percy Mayfield. As far as I know, Percy never recorded it, so it was probably written for the session, which was about 1964/5. MG Quote

johnblitweiler Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 After the success of Percy's "Hit the Road Jack" Ray contracted Percy to write for him 20 songs a year for 5 years or so. He also had Percy writing songs for him in later years. The Mayfield songs that Ray recorded for Atlantic preceded that contract. Quote
