Dan Gould Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Time to let this one go ... someday I will figure out how to program a BFT that gets Felser-level attention (1500 page views last time) but how if I can't program that many FWL tunes? We shall see ... Thanks to those who did participate. The theme was gotten by Jsngry who said "intergenerational". I programmed tunes that had at least one "young lion" and one "old master" is the way I conceived it. 1. Eddie Palmieri, track four You Dig https://www.discogs.com/master/1025206-Eddie-Palmieri-Palmas 2. Alvin Queen Track 9 Mellow Soul – with Stafford/Jesse Davis/LeDonne/Bernstein – https://www.discogs.com/master/1842880-Alvin-Queen-I-Aint-Looking-At-You 3. https://www.discogs.com/release/11645087-Houston-Person-The-Lion-And-His-Pride Track 6 – Like Someone in Love 4. Ray Brown Trio Moore Makes Four Track 1 – SOS https://www.discogs.com/master/1068051-The-Ray-Brown-Trio-With-Ralph-Moore-Moore-Makes-4 5. Alto Summit – Woods, Herring, Antonio Hart – track 8 God Bless The Child I may have messed this one up, as I became uncertain if Phil Woods played on this or not and I did not make the effort to verify. https://www.discogs.com/master/1684019-Alto-Summit-Featuring-Phil-Woods-Vincent-Herring-Antonio-Hart-Alto-Summit 6. Stephen Scott Something to Consider - #2 Au Privave https://www.discogs.com/release/2856839-Stephen-Scott-Something-To-Consider Same as #5 except in this case, it was Joe Henderson who didn't appear. 7. Robert Taylor – Track 4 Judgement https://www.discogs.com/release/18258001-Robert-Stewart-Judgement The Felser Would Like track, and he did. Billy Higgins was the old master here, and both the tenorist and pianist Eric Reed qualified as "young lions". Stewart only started playing tenor at 17 and this was his very first recording. 8. Track 6 Don't Touch Me https://www.discogs.com/release/4955054-Saskia-Laroo-Meets-Teddy-Edwards-Sunset-Eyes-2000 This track was written by Teddy in 1960. I almost chose "Sunset Eyes," also with Ernie Andrews - good lyrics there too. 9. Rickey Woodard - Track #7 - 14th and Jefferson https://www.discogs.com/release/3979915-Rickey-Woodard-Yazoo Woodard might be the oldest of this group of "young lions" but while he had been performing for a while at this point, Concord's promotion of him - on two of his own releases, and two as sole horn with Frank Capp - surely felt like they thought of him as a young lion. 10. COHN/SCOTT/TATE – TOUR DE FORCE TRACK 2 https://www.discogs.com/master/684802-Al-Cohn-Scott-Hamilton-Buddy-Tate-Cal-Collins-Jake-Hanna-Bob-Maize-Dave-McKenna-Tour-De-Force The original Young Lion. 11. Brian Lynch & Emmet Cohen questioned answer - track 1 - Cambios https://www.discogs.com/release/6285374-Brian-Lynch-And-Emmet-Cohen-Questioned-Answer I conceived this as Lynch being the “elder", having played and developed so much since the 1980s when he and Ralph Moore played with Horace Silver, and Cohen as the youngster. But Billy Hart, who Sangrey liked best and Thom could barely hear, obviously qualifies as the “elder” as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 There were some really nice things on here - Palmieri (funny how a guy that gets so much adoration on this board whiffs when he shows up on a BFT...), Person, and Teddy E particularly stood out for me. But I would not be the first person to suggest that perhaps the original Young Lion was Ruby Braff! Where does the time go?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Explains why I didn't nail the Stewart track -- always gravitated towards the live side on that. Higgins is masterful on those live cuts. Looking at the cover, maybe this is different than what I have (cover sure is). #MoreMoneyLeavingMyWallet Shocked that was Billy Hart on the last track. Engineer needs to find a new gig, because that dude is THE loudest drummer I've ever seen. Also, I'm a fan, so to miss him bugs me. #blamesEngineerToSaveFace Edited January 30, 2023 by tkeith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Re track 4, Ray Brown trio, "SOS". I had never heard this track, but the composition was very familiar to me, though I couldn't remember the title. So who composed it and who else has recorded it? Or does it have an alternative title?

webbcity Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Dan, really sorry I missed out this month, looks like some great stuff here. I'm still going to give a listen when I get time, even though I missed out on the fun. Have been listening to some Palmieri lately but don't know that particular album on track 1.

Eddie Palmieri, track four You Dig https://www.discogs.com/master/1025206-Eddie-Palmieri-Palmas Ugh - I have that CD. I am amazed at how different it sounds on headphones from my computer compared to my Hifi - almost like a different mix of the track! The synthetic sound of the electric grand that Palmieri probably plays (or the way it was recorded) and the LP brand percussion is much more evident on headphones. I must admit Palmieri never was a real top favourite of mine, considering how important a figure he is. That band was great, excellent players, and I bought it right away when it was issued, but didn't listen to it very often. I prefer the older Cuban sound with wooden drums and cowhide. Thanks Dan - will have to listen omce more with the Reveal at hand. I do not understand that I didn't recognize Ralph Moore.
