BFT #24 - Discussion (Disc 2)

[MartyJazz]

On #5: genuine Ellingtonia, yup! But then again, no use checking AMG...

You mean #6, the Basin Street blues track, don´t you?

and Ray Nance wasn't the vocalist on that? Sure sounded like him.

(Sorry if you said so before - I must have over-read it!)

[king ubu]

6) Could this be Duke's band at some kind of party because otherwise I don't think "Basin St. Blues" is normally his thing. Vocalist reminds me of Ray Nance.

Just saw that... sorry for not letting you know earlier, Marty! (I guess I thought it would spoil some fun if I chimed in back then, and afterwards I forgot, so again: sorry!)

[EKE BBB]

Track #6

Assuming it´s an Ellington-related track, give me a couple of days to see if I can nail it.... or wait for brownie to post his guesses! B-)

October 9, 1959

Kongresshauss, Zurich (Switzerland)

Clark Terry, Ray Nance, Quentin Jackson, Russell Procope, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Woode, James Johnson

Of course, Ray Nance on vocals (shame on me!!!)

Cheers,

Agustín

What's your source, Agu? Lord? It's correct, anyway!

[EKE BBB]

I'm also very fond of the last Ellingtonian-track, "Ko-Ko"... I'd enjoy you trying to find out if there's one or two tinklers... there most certainly are no overdubs there. Can't say no more right now.

Track 9

After listening to MJQ´s version of "Ko-Ko" (in "For Ellington" disc), I´ll go with mikeweil and say John Lewis is one of the two pianists.

I am a very well informed guy!

Is your source a video tape?

[EKE BBB]

What's your source, Agu? Lord? It´s correct, anyway!

Nope!

W.E. Timner´s "Ellingtonia. The recorded music of Duke Ellington and his sidemen" (Scarecrow Press), fourth edition. Waaaaay better than Lord (though it doesn´t include releases).

Is your source a video tape?

No. The video was recently seeded over on easytree.org, but I didn't get it (it was labelled Germany, and maybe with a wrong year, too, and no personnel info etc). My source is a 1999 re-broadcast by swiss radio. I have more music than the video includes (assuming that thing on EZtree which was 40 or 45 minutes long is all there is on video).

on Lewis, btw!

I'll have to check, I don?have all of it, but certainly more than the video.

Hm, strange. Here's what I have:

1. A Train

4. St Louis Blues (Greenwood)

5. Bill Bailey (Greenwood)

6. Walkin' (or I'm Walkin') (Greenwood)

7. Medley: Do Nothin > Don't Get Around > Sentimental Mood > Beginning to see > Soph.Lady > Caravan > Solitude > Satin Doll > Squeeze Me > It Don't Mean a Thing > I Let a Song > Don't Get Around

Pretty different. Could some of this come from February 19, 1962? From there I have

11. The Eighth Veil

12. Kinda Dukish/Rockin' in Rhythm

At least that's what the announcer in 1999 said...

sorry if this has been already covered but i don't want to read the discussion threads.

my guesses for disc 2 are quite easy:The Sound of Silence from Simon&Garfunkel

my disc has 14 tracks, it starts reading but there's no music at all.

i have tried on 3 different players and it's the same thing. really weird

Ubu, would you mind on a future vine to add the second disc for me?

thanks in advance

Oh no! I'm really sorry to hear this, Marcus! I'll do a copy right ahead! I hope you're the only one with this problem!

actually, Marcus, I'm not familiar with Simon & Garfunkel - look at it as an extended version of 4'33"

[marcoliv]

[marcoliv]

thanks a lot Ubu!!

[MartyJazz]

Have we yet established that track #4 is a version of "For Dancers Only"?

[king ubu]

Have we yet established that track #4 is a version of "For Dancers Only"?

Yes, you nailed that! And as you did state it affirmative and without any signs of hesitation, I thought you were safe on that! It's correct!

[Man with the Golden Arm]

Another outing with these a few times. (I hasten to post just because i need better things to read on the board these days. not much better than others' commentaries on these BFTs mind you) Eager to see what's what as this is such a crazy set.

Track 1 - An opening march that Frisell might enjoy had he played on the last cut from the first disc. Must be a sort of Hannibalistic Beer Fest theme from the land of the King.

Track 2 - ?

Track 3 - "Sunny Side" by ?

Track 4 - yet another category of this fine medium that largely eludes me. everything starts to sound like "Tuxedo Junction" to me.

Track 5 - A rare Lacy tidbit.

Track 6 - Easy picking out the title. Surprised to hear that little Gershwin lick in the trumpet solo, nice. Is this the same vox as on "Sunny Side" ?

Track 7 - At first I thought this might be a Clusone 3 (Michael Moore came to mind at the end) setting with Ray Anderson guesting but the bone is too sublime for Ray. Looked to my stack sitting next and I see this Dutch October meeting disc that has a piece w/ three bones and thinking Dutch the only name that is recognized by me is Wolter Wierbos. So that's my only namesake of a guess thus far for this "Indigo Mood".

Track 8 - Another splendid dinner time beauty. And pretty long too! Might be a Wayne Shorter sound here?

Track 9 - Oh yeah, I like this baby. Lot of simple swank in that left. While it is definitely not him because too many runs and not enough staccato I'll throw out a Danish Parlan side.

Track 10 - Nice swank-gue (sawank - way). I love how this takes off into the bottom of the groove right at that lyrical part after "in other words", you know these boys got more to say than just "I love you". A bit fraid of commitment? No way are they afraid to get greazy ... as Big Joe Turner would have said; "AL!". Damn this is on fire. The zamboni is one sooped monster truck for this ride. McDuff? SHEEEEIT! as those who have gone before might say.

Track 11 - Now I know this tune but my head is still listening to the last one. Another damn beautiful piece.

Track 12 - Another just like the other. But " B&S". I can't figure any theme to these two BFTs for the life of me but it is there.

Track 13 - ? hmmmm. Interested to find out the two speakers here on disc II.

Track 14 - Back to the business that started this whole round. Another great track.

and another great disc. this will be enjoyed for some time I am certain.

Kudos to Ubu!!! (as opposed to oboes for kudu) many s

Thanks Vint! Nice to see some positivity around here... this thread may be the only one I'm going to lie eyes on for a few days.

No dutch guys, btw! Check Mikeweil's post above, he nailed trombone and drummer correctly!

[Man with the Golden Arm]

Saw Mike's posts. I was gonna say Mangelsdorf, honest, but as my only exposure came via BFT couw, thought his tone was more of the straight up variety. You guys are good, how'd he pick Elvin on that?

And I need to listen to "Whisper Not" more. Whenever I hear it I think it's the love theme from Les Liaisons Dangereuses or something.

Too many tunes in the head. Seeing a mighty long Ellingtonish string holding this all together.

That ducal string is part of the theme of disc 2

I guess it's too obvious, the second part of the theme is even more obvious...

[Man with the Golden Arm]

just to let you know that "Fly Me To The Moon" was the highlite at the studio today. The shop model builder and all around crazy gipetto guy named it in the first note and the others were animated as i had it going at full volume. they still have a time with the concept of somebody from switzerland sending discs all over the world for people to guess tunes. seems perfectly normal to me.
