Is track 5 Lennie Breau with bassist Dave Young from 'Live at Bourbon Street'?

Track 9 - Dave McMurdo Jazz Orchestra (with Reg Schwager)?

Track 11 - Abide With Me/Blue Monk. Woody Allen? 

Track 12 - Sonny Greenwich? With Ed Bickert, Don Thompson and Terry Clarke.

Track 13 - Trombone Shorty?

Wow, how did you pick out Trombone Shorty on Track 13? I have a CD by him, and have seen him live, and I could not do it.

[sidewinder]

  A bit of a wild ass guess. I had seen him a while ago on TV and also heard some of his stuff on the radio so knew his style. The only other option I considered was Rico Rodriguez but Shorty’s style is more manic. Sort of like a Millenial Tommy Turk !

Turns out I had mixed up my numbers on tracks 8 and 9 so I will have another go on track 8.

Track 2 - Is that Eddie South?  I’ve definitely heard this one before.

Track 6 - Eugene Chadbourne on slide guitar?

Track 8 - Hearing this again the trombone soloist sounds to me a bit like Dave Bargeron so I will go for 1970s Clark Terry Big Bad Band. If so, possibly an Ernie Wilkins arrangement and Virgil Jones or Lew Soloff on trumpet.

Track 9 - The clean line playing of this guitarist remind me of Louis Stewart and oddly enough, very early Joe Pass.

Yes! But who's the singer?  (I've already given a big clue.)

medjuck, I want to say that this is one of my all time favorite Blindfold Tests. I listen to Blindfold Tests a lot in my car while I am driving. This particular Blindfold Test has really seeped into my brain. I keep finding new treasures in it each time I listen. You outdid yourself!

Uhh, gee. Thanks.  This was the first one I've done and I was very nervous about it.

Holy shit!  Starting at about the 3 minute mark he goes on and on about Nelson.  Thanks so much.  He even confirms what i'd heard about Coltrane admiring Nelson-- I'd always thought that was a myth.

Track Number 8 is very fine. Wild guess: is it the Clarke/Boland band?

Expand  

Uhhhh...no. It is an American band.
