My mom always made squash pie, from butternut squash that we grew. I didn't have pumpkin pie until a few years later, and found it to be indistinguishable from squash pie. Sweet potato pie may look the same, but it definitely tastes different. I like 'em all!
My favorite, however, is mince meat pie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Unfortunately my spouse doesn't care for it, so if I want it, I'm gonna have to make it myself.
Yesterday we had squash, pumpkin, apple, and Kentucky Derby (pecan pie flavored with bourbon). Couldn't sample them all, but fortunately we got plenty of leftovers!

How about America's newspaper?
When I was a kid there were always ads for that damned thing, usually with some goofy kid wearing a carrier's bag.
I remember these ads in the back of comic books, yet I have never seen a copy of Grit, nor do I know anyone who has!

1. A nice big band track – I like the flugelhorn soloist, no clue who it is. I wonder if this might be Thad Jones, soloist and composer?
2. I’m pretty sure the alto is Benny Carter, although he seems a little rusty. This might have been made late in his career? No idea on the soprano or piano. A nice mood piece.
3. “What’s Going On?” Not much, I’m afraid, although I like the drummer’s snare sound.
4. “Con Alma” Might the alto be Leo Wright?
5. Interesting writing, alto is unfamiliar, as is the trumpet. Pleasant enough, but didn’t really knock me out.
6. I hate to damn with faint praise, but again, nothing grabbing me here. -_-
7. “All Blues” Once again, frustrated by my inability to identify any of the soloists. It seems that at the very least I should know the vocalist! Possibly Pony Poindexter on soprano? Hate that guitar sound. Nice alto. By the time the piano starts, I’ve lost interest.
8. “For Heaven’s Sake”. A nice tenor player, whoever he is.
9. In places I’m hearing some McCoy Tyner influence, but really have no idea who anybody is.
10. Herb is probably Herb Ellis, and with the Oklahoma reference, I’m guessing that the announcer/guitarist is probably Barney Kessel. This was a lot of fun, and a nice closer to a string of mysteries!
Am I mistaken, but is every track on this disc live?

1. We start off in familiar territory here – the 1950’s. If this is a french horn, then might it be Julius Watkins, perhaps with Lou Donaldson on alto? As for the others, no specific names pop into my head.
2. Not a clue here. Interesting use of two trumpets. Pianist seems to be the leader. This ends so abruptly, I wonder if this might be an excerpt from a suite of some sort.
3. Another pianist doing a similar locked hands kind of thing. Can’t get a handle on who this might be. I would guess this was made in the early 1960’s, judging from the occasional churchy motif thrown in.
4. Is this a guitar???
5. A nice bari player, possibly Lars Gullin? Not thrilled with the string writing.
6. Aaaarggghh! No thanks.
7. This was fun. A nice spirited performance. Is the trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff?
8. I’m just not in touch with these contemporary guitarists, and not in any big hurry to find out who this is. NMCOT
9. Gimmicky reworking of the mother of all warhorses! Let’s move on. Is this a real piano, or just a bad digital recording?
10. Like the clarinets here. The first guy sounds a bit like Buddy DeFranco. The second is very close stylistically, and the third guy doesn’t quite have the chops of his predecessors, and reminds in places of Tony Scott.
11. It starts out very Ellingtonian. Some nice playing all around here.
12. Dammit! This tune is driving me crazy – I know it’s a pop tune from the 70’s, but I can’t come up with the title. The performance? (shrugs)
13. Neutral on this. And clueless!
14. Similar to the last track. Same comments. These vampy things get old pretty quickly for me.
15. Ah yes, the return of the bandoneon. Now this I really liked, especially after those last two meandering tracks. Some might say that this isn’t jazz, but it’s damned catchy! An off the wall guess – Astor Piazzola?
16. Some nice soulful clarinet, can’t name the player. Or anyone else.
17. Sounds like Jaws – with the Clarke-Boland band, perhaps? How can anybody not like this?
18. A Bird tune – Dexterity, maybe? A nice loose feeling on this one. I know that there are relatively few bass clarinetists out there, but I can’t name this one.
19. I’m thinking Jimmy Raney on guitar here, possibly one of his European dates?
20. This pianist has heard Mr. Evans, I would say. The rest of it is OK, not much more I can say.
Jeez, this one was pretty humbling. I’m at a loss to identify most of the musicians. I wonder if there might be some underlying theme here, like maybe, all European recordings?
Now to see if anyone else had better luck than I did!
