BFT 262 Reveal

[Dan Gould]

Thanks to those who participated and jointly puzzled out almost all of the tracks.  Forgive me if I am a touch disappointed that no one wanted to engage on the two hints provided to make it a clean sweep.  

 

Again organizing answers by tune:

 

Tickle Toe:  

Track 1 is from this:

https://www.discogs.com/release/6503959-Totti-Bergh-Plas-Johnson-On-The-Trail

Track 7, universally enjoyed, from this:

https://www.discogs.com/master/458096-The-Johnny-Griffin-And-Eddie-Lockjaw-Davis-Quintet-Tough-Tenors

 

Butter Fat:

Track 2 (and universally despised) is from

https://www.discogs.com/master/43544-David-Sanborn-Taking-Off

Track 10, only modestly less rejected is from

https://www.discogs.com/master/1438165-Houston-Person-We-Owe-It-All-To-Love

I wonder if I had paired the Jive Samba by Houston with another performance would have had a different result ... well basically it was figuring out it was Sanborn is what got this ID'd so - it would have remained a mystery if I had gone with Jive Samba.

 

Things Ain't What They Used to Be:

Track 3 is from:

https://www.discogs.com/master/3038846-Doc-Cheatham-George-Kelly-Jack-Kleinsingers-Highlights-In-Jazz-Presents-Echoes-Of-Harlem

The alto compared to Rabbit was Joey Cavaseno who has a few regular and graymarket releases available on Amazon and Discogs.

Track 6 is from:

https://www.discogs.com/master/1453263-Harry-Allen-2-With-The-Bill-Charlap-Trio-Harry-Allen-Plays-Ellington-Songs

I guess Allen has developed enough that now Sangrey hears him as "walking in somebody else's shoes" rather than corpse-f0ing Stan Getz, IIRC correctly from a BFT many, many moons ago.

Meanwhile I thought it was interesting with Charlap doing the down tempo blues thing, as I also seem to recall that Larry Kart once dissed his ability to play the blues?  That recollection is a little more iffy.

Moving On.

Who Can I Turn To

Track 5 is from 

https://www.discogs.com/release/13108173-The-Frank-Wess-Quintet-Surprise-Surprise-

I did not expect to hear a tune I immediately associate with Dexter as a ballad done at this tempo so it had to go on a BFT eventually.

I stated this one was on the same label as the Plas Johnson CD - Gemini Records has many other fine recordings (I've concentrated on the ones featuring American jazzmen).

Track 8 is from

https://www.discogs.com/master/353378-Willis-Jackson-Smoking-With-Willis

Done up in the more traditional ballad tempo though Felser found it interminable.  But I wasn't going with Dex's version as a total gimme so this is what I landed on.

I don't see 4 & 9 above but anyway, loved how you set this up. Helped the sleuthing, which is part of the fun to me.
