  1. I took my notes on another computer, then changed to a new one. They were not changed after I read the thread 1. Is that Jitterbug Waltz? Took me a couple plays to decide yes. I think Jason Moran's version was reaching out to an R&B audience, so I'll go with Cory Weeds as a guess. 2. Oriental sounding instrument. For some reason it makes me think Pharoah Sanders, although not representative of his body of work. 3. Virtuoso piano, Barry Harris or Mulgrew Miller? 4. Lyrical trumpet, maybe Kenny Dorham? 5. Airy arrangement with featured clarinet. Peplowski? 6. Familiar composition, but I can't place it. Lee Morgan? 7. Sweet Georgia Brown? Art Tatum? 8. Star Eyes Getz and Barron? 9. Roy Eldridge? 10. Is that Yardbird Suite? Maybe Hampton Hawes? When I hear the applause at the end I question that choice. 11. Charlie Parker? 12. Maria Schneider? From Data Lords? 13. Gil Evans makes sense in this context. 14. Stephane Grappelli? 15. Woody Herman?
  2. is 12 Maria Schneider? from Data Lords?
  3. Is 11 a selfie?
  4. Rodrigo Amado on 9?
  5. Nobody else hears background vocals about 3 minutes into #11?
  6. Your response to Felser on 7 has me thinking the group has their collective name and no single name is the name artist for their records. Which is what led me to the Jazz Crusaders and now to ... The Roots.
  7. Jazz Crusaders on 7?
  8. 1. The amusing thought that occurred to me was "The Complete Black and Blue recordings of John Abercrombie". The fluid, somewhat progressive guitar lines fit very well in a more retro environment. No such recordings exist to my knowledge, of course. 2. Feels like Art Farmer and Clifford Jordan. 3. If that's not a cello or piccolo bass, it certainly is a very high bass figure at the beginning. Good electric piano and bone. OK, maybe an oud? Rabih Abou-Khalil? I think the band is too big to be Rabih. 4. Wayne Shorter? 5. Milesian feel. 6. I like the hard-edged tone, not quite Booker Ervin but close. Maybe Lockjaw, but I know a lot mote two tenor dates with him than tenor trumpet front lines. 7. Lushly arranged, suggesting a larger band. It reminds me of Herbie's The Prisoner album, but I think it would sound more familiar if it was. Obviously I need to play The Prisoner ASAP! 8. Monk meets Ornette, but on tenor. Live date. Frank Lowe? 9. Don Cherry with Pharoah on Blue Note. Possibly Old and New Dreams, but I'll stick with Pharoah. 10. Dwight Trible 11. James Carter on Bari? Is that a vocal chorus 3 minutes in?
  9. Seems like the ECM has to be 8 (with Dave Holland) or 6 (with Muhal Richard Abrams). The only Abrams I found on ECM so far is a live Jack DeJohnette, Made in Chicago and the big Art Ensemble of Chicago box set.
  10. Woody's Delight on High Note is a qualifying recording for the fathers, so good find. Likewise Kenny Drew Jr Sextet. I haven't seen any sidemen that would qualify Doug Raney for the collaborators part, but few second generation jazz musicians have recorded that prolifically as a leader.
  11. Amazon has 4 Firey String Sistas tracks available for streaming, each graced by a photo of the band. On the band's website Mala and Nioka are identified in the caption of the same photo. So they have recorded together, and are exhibit 3 of the second generation collaborators, along with the papa swap Niko identified. That reminds me of Maxine Roach as a second generation musician, and also Cody Moffett. Also Tyondai Braxton, who may be part of the only father son pair where I have seen both in concert separately. If Petra Haden comes back to Big Ears, I'll try to catch her this time. Memory fades, but I do think I saw Old and New Dreams once.
  12. Pretty cool. Second gen artists IDed so far, with additions Michelle, Ravi, Oran Coltrane David Ornette, Eagle Eye and Neneh Cherry Chico Freeman Nasheet Waits Mercer, Paul and Mercedes Ellington Anthony Wilson Mtume Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo, and Jason Marsalis
  13. John Coltrane recorded with Jimmy Garrison Ravi Coltrane recorded with Matthew Garrison as part of Jack DeJohnette's band Terry Gibbs recorded with Alice McLeod Gibbs (later Coltrane) Gerry Gibbs recorded with Michelle Coltrane (Alice's daughter, John's stepdaughter) Any other examples of the children of collaborators collaborating? Rene McLean, Mtume and Kenny Drew Jr come to mind as other recorded second generation players. Actually I'd like hearing about other second generation artists even if they don't fit the thread title criteria.
  14. 1. Maybe Kenny Burrell. 2. Teddy Wilson? 3. I don't think Basie bands featured the clarinet this much. Maybe Benny Goodman? 4. New Orleans style is the term always favored by those in the know over the more offensive southern associated term. Can't rule out Louis Armstrong. 5. I'll try Sidney Bechet 6. I wondered about Grachan Moncur. 7. This could be actual classical, maybe Grieg or Mussorgsky, if not the influence is very strong. But wait, an electric guitar. I think there's a Burrell on Verve with Forms in the title that this might fit. 8. Bass and tabla! I think I would know it if it were Oregon. Nana Vasconcelos? 9. All about the piano, and gorgeous 10. Feels like Duke Ellington 11. Rosemary Clooney? 12. It's probably a later band, but this has a real Charles Mingus feel. 13. Charles Earland? 14. This is so Coltrane Classic Quartet! Maybe one of the 21st century releases like Both Directions at Once. Well, not that one since it's live.
  15. Jeremy Pelt and Brian Lynch are players that made me feel like they "get" Woody Shaw, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. Throwing them out as possible participators in #1, since we know it's this decade..
  16. #7 is Track 8
  17. googling "site:wikipedia.org Dave Liebman High School" led me to Noah Preminger who fits your clues very well. But I haven't found a recording around 2020 where he goes pianoless.
  18. I was able to sleuth 7 with internet searches, no Shazam.
  19. FWIW my BFT 6 Threads are still intact and searchable. If Daniel A can't provide I can probably reconstruct.
  20. Speaking of which, has Rooster_ties ever IDed his contribution to the team BFT? It stumped Shazam!
  21. 1. Maybe Lee Morgan, 66 or later 2. Leaning toward Vijay Iyer over Andrew Hill 3. Has some of Trane's lyricism without the hard edges. Charles Lloyd? 4. Bone led date. Curtis Fuller? 5. and down to the tuba. Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy? 6. Sounds like Bill Frisell. Is it Moon River? 7. initiallly sounds like Wildfire (pop country by Michael Martin Murphey) but quickly I realize it's Wichita Lineman. I'm a big Jimmy Webb fan. Jim Hall is my clueless guess. 8. Live piano. Sounds like an improvisation on Happy Birthday. Kenny Barron? 9. Guitar and vibes, now a tenor comes in. Is it As Time Goes By? Not sure. Trying to think of a tenor that might have recorded for Criss-Cross or Steeplechase because that's the vibe I get - loving recreation. 10. Is this James Brandon Lewis? 11. Lionel Loueke? 12. A New Orleans crew of some sort? Galactic? 13. Jim Alfredson? 14. Wait, isn't Love Rollercoaster the name of something by Ohio Players?
  22. Discogs says it's Dennis Surely Goodness And Mercy (Kwela For Carol) Take One Soloist – González*, Dean*
  23. 1. Jodo - Freddie Hubbard from Blue Spirits (1965): Freddie trumpet, James Spaulding alto sax, Hank Mobley tenor sax, McCoy Tyner Piano, Bob Cranshaw bass, Pete LaRoca drums 2. Tenors of our Time - Pete Christlieb - Warne Marsh from Apogee (1978): Pete and Warne - Tenor Sax, Lou Levy – piano, Jim Hughart – bass, Nick Ceroli – drums 3. Surely Goodness and Mercy - Dennis Gonzalez from Catechism - Dennis Gonzalez (1987): Bb trumpet, pocket trumpet, Elton Dean: saxello, alto sax, Keith Tippett: piano, Marcio Mattos: bass, Louis Moholo: drums, Rob Blakeslee: trumpet, fluegelhorn, Kim Corbet: trombone +1 to everything Thom said about what a great guy Dennis Gonzalez was. And, to me, always worth hearing. 4. Undercurrents (A Requiem) - Michael Gregory Jackson from Liberty (2013): Michael Gregory Jackson - electric & acoustic guitars; Art Ensemble Syd (Denmark): vocals & composer, Niels Praestholm, -acoustic bass, Simon Spang-Hanssen - alto & soprano saxophones, flute, Matias Wolf Andreasen - drums & percussion, Heine Steensen - violin, Thorstein Quebec Hemmet - flutes I freely admit to holding Santana in higher regard than JSngry, and I have been a fan of this guitarist since his late 70's debut. He veered pop/r&b in a lot of his leader dates after the first three, but Bandcamp gave him an outlet for his more instrumental and extended side (jazzier), both sessions that could have come out in the 70s or 80s but didn't and later work such as this. I have acquired his latest, solo electric guitar date but haven't listened yet. 5. Masculinity - Samora Pinderhughes from GRIEF (2022): Samora Pinderhughes - piano, vocals, wurlitzer, production, arrangements, Immanuel Wilkins - alto saxophone, Jehbreal Jackson - vocals, Nio Levon - vocals, Marcus Gilmore - drums, Boom Bishop - electric bass & sonics, Clovis Nicolas - upright bass, Brad Allen Williams - guitars, Argus Quartet (courtesy of The Metropolis Ensemble) - string quartet Cross-posting my pertinent Big Ears experience here: I have decided to forego options hat have me driving home after midnight, so this will be my last set. I was less than 100% sold on Ahleuchatistas, although I like their name, so I investigated the alternatives before hand online and streamed some Samora. The Transformations Suite album has me sold, and I hear just a little bit of GRIEF. When I get to the Civic Auditorium, Samora is centerstage playing a full grand piano, with five backup singers behind him on the left of the stage, and the rest of the band to the right. His singing is quietly soulful, but his backup singers more robust. His piano playing is excellent. No horns on stage, but guitarist Rafiq Bhatia fills that void. The singing and songs convince, and I've been playing GRIEF quite a bit since coming back home. 6. Tenderly - Robert Mazurek from Man Facing East (1994): Rob trumpet, pianist Randolph Tressler, bassist John Webber and drummer George Fludas JSngry eventually sleuthed this one. His next two dates were co-led by Eric Alexander, then he started veering toward spacy, populist avant-garde. 7. Angels - Albert Ayler from Live In Greenwich Village (1967) – The Complete Impulse Recordings: Albert tenor sax, Call Cobbs piano There's really not much like this. I did have the unusual experience of playing Albert Ayler, having my wife walk into the room, not taking it off, nor being asked to. 8. Fear Not - James Brandon Lewis from Eye of I (2022): James tenor sax, The Messthetics - Anthony Pirog guitar, Joe Lally bass, Brendan Canty drums I think the reason James won over so many doubters put off by the guitar, is that the backing band is actually good, although not necessarily on first call basis when someone needs a sub at Smalls or the Vanguard. Bass and drums were part of Fugazi, while the guitarist has made records with Michael Formanek and Ches Smith. I'll add his name to the small group of guitarists including Vernon Reid, later Blood Ulmer and the aforementioned Santana that have played convincingly with jazz players without that being their primary style. To me the composition has grandeur along with its power. This track was the highlight of the James Brandon Smith and the Messthetics set at Big Ears. 9. G-Man - Sonny Rollins from G-Man (1986): Sonny tenor sax, Clifton Anderson – trombone, Mark Soskin – piano, Bob Cranshaw – electric bass, Marvin "Smitty" Smith – drums Pure exuberance.
  24. Not Mangione, who has not played Big Ears in the last two years.
