2nd installment: #5: Like the vocals, singer sounds familiar but can't ID. Piano is good. On first listen the Latin-style percussion seemed inconsistent with the lyrics, but on subsequent listen it works.  #6: After one listen, I denigrated the organist due to some perceived "roller rink" and "ball park" playing, but on second listen caught some subtleties and quirks. Like the tenor a lot. Had a suspicion about the organist ID, but I don't own this and his discography is too vast to try and sleuth. That led to a strong suspicion about the tenor, but ditto. Nice track. #7: Like the tenor a lot, suspected the ID since Jim is fond of his "later" work, but had no clue of specifics. Don't like much else about the band and arrangement, and in fact actively dislike some aspects. Agree that the drummer is majorly off, not just phrasing and emphasis but he weirdly overuses the cymbals IMO. Still enjoyed listening due to the tenor. #8: Love the trombonist but no guess, let alone ID. The arrangement is very far from my wheelhouse, but quite listenable for that sort of thing. #9: Well all right now. This is a leader I can ID! 😁 Excellent backup band and playing.   Thanks for a thought-provoking BFT. Some of it is not exactly my cup of tea, but a lot to enjoy. #2 was really a trip.
