Decades earlier 

Thanks for the rec. I didn't know about this one at all.

Chicago is my favorite scene, I've been following 30 years ago, I've even been there. Playing with that energy (NRG) could only be Mars Williams and I went straight to that archive record.

I love Chicago. Been several times but the closest I got to jazz was the Jazz Record Mart when it was still downtown. One day I'll catch some live music there.

6. Intriguing. Classic free jazz at his best, sax intro is beautiful, similar maybe to Noah Howard, I like a lot the bowed bass and drumming section, I need this album (or maybe I already have it).

I feel like in order to guess this one you'd almost have to own it or be extremely familiar with it.

I reckon #2 is pretty contemporary, last 10 years, possibly International Anthem. Lester St Louis on cello perhaps or listening some more, is it Tomeka?

Great track which if I don't already own I want to

#3 could be Akira Sakata? 

#9 Shabaka...

Indeed #2 is very contemporary, but no Lester St Louis or Tomeka. Can confirm it's on International Anthem. Nice call. 

No Sakata or Shabaka on 3 and 9.

OK, I was thinking of L.A. but it was London. Unknown to me, great choice.

So if it's IA I probably have it.

It's 'The Journey' from Tom Skinner's live album. I knew I knew it. In fact I think the studio version was on the only BFT I have done.

You got it. I love this live album, and the fact that it's dedicated to Abdul Wadud. Dayes' cello is definitely a standout to me.

You know the studio album from which the music is taken, I'm guessing?

Only from your earlier BFT track. It"s what led me to get this live album actually. I had forgotten that you shared this specific track though. I liked it then, so I'm not surprised I picked this one off the album. 

For anyone who doesn't recall it, this was on BFT 239 when we all donated a track to make a full BFT. Which was a really great idea (from one Dan Gould if I'm not mistaken).

Songs 3, 4, 6 and 9 are the remaining tunes not ID'd yet.

4. It's "Eye strain" from Vito Price "Swingin' the loop". Very nice tune.

Check. And note the rhythm section roots to Count Basie with Gus Johnson & Freddie Green. They swing like hell on this song to carry Vito, who didn't record another solo record until 2003. Yikes. 

This particular track taken from this CD.
