The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 Well, here we are again. I'd forgotten it would be Halloween and I've been busy all evening giving chocs to the local kids, of whom there seem to be scores! I always say I'd like a treat please but they never give me one! So I'm pinching a couple out of our box - BLEEEEEEAAHHHH! I dare say Thom, who's got all the tracks, will put 'em up tomorrow. Enjoy! MG Quote

tkeith Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 Sorry, folks. It's up and-a-running, now. Files were all there but there was an issue with the way they were named. Cursed technology! Quote
Dan Gould Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 As always an entertaining compilation but since I didn't recognize Gene Harris amongst the many fine pianists I will save you my non-existent guesses and step aside and watch the discussion ensue. Thanks MG! Quote

aparxa Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 It works fine with me, thanks MG and Thom!! Do me wrong, do me right. Tell me lies but hold me tight, Save your goodbyes for the morning light, but don't let me be lonely tonight. Quote

Thanks MG! Correct, there's zero Gene Harris. But don't step aside; there's stuff on which I'd welcome your comments, though not as a Gene Harris fan MG 6 hours ago, aparxa said: It works fine with me, thanks MG and Thom!!

Hot Ptah Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 I just discovered that I cannot stream from Thom’s site on Internet Explorer, but that it works fine if I use Mozilla Firefox. Quote
BillF Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 Is Track 3 Ray Bryant? Track 4 might be Phineas Newborn. Track 11: Ray Charles? Quote

Hot Ptah Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 This is a really fun and enjoyable BFT! I am not having a lot of luck identifying anyone yet, but I am having a really good time listening to it. I will be back with some comments. Quote

Phew a couple of days not being able to access the web and now my PC is most unhappy about me being here. Well, I'm very glad you're enjoying this Bill. I'm also not TOO displeased that you're finding some of it hard MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 13, 2017 Author Report Posted November 13, 2017 I wonder if this response will work... Oh well, Lou Johnson is in there. So is Mr Moody But if that white guy is actually what Oliver Nelson looksed like, I'll sell my soul to Santa. And yeah, Noslen was in there, too. MG (now, we'll see what you've dunn) Quote
JSngry Posted November 13, 2017 Report Posted November 13, 2017 Reading the responses, I see that PNJ is on here, thought that one sounded familiar, from the Atlantic solo album right? Lead cut on Side A, right? To paraphrase Oscar Peterson about Monk, I do not like the piano played like that, and/or back atcha OP. And/also, the piano on that record is either really bad or recorded poorly. It sounds like the tapes were sped up, which I'm 99.9% sure that they weren't, but yeah, really brittle and tinny. The LP was anyway. No real reason for this post other to give additional confirmation that Oliver Nelson did not break the thread. How the hell that happened is beyond me. Had me really worried there for a second, hell, for a few hours, actually. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Posted November 14, 2017 Yes, Newborn, as I noted. But not the Atlantic album, which I had for a week or two in about 1970 but didn't like. Guess again. I'm surprised you didn't guess some others. MG Quote
JSngry Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 I didn't listen to enough to guess. It was a "30 second sample" run-through,, mostly. Tight on time. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Posted November 15, 2017 No rush. My computer's so buggered I can hardly ever get on the web at present. Determined to hang on until December, then get a new one. G Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) The only one I knew was the Newborn which was answered. I liked the trumpeter on track 8. I'm anxiously waiting to find out who this is. The tenor player is good too. Is it Milt Buncker on organ? I have track 14 but I don't recall who this is, nor do I know where the LP is. My guess right now, Hank Crawford on tenor. I'm going to listen again. Maybe the second time through the music I'll get lucky and have more guesses. Edited November 18, 2017 by Hardbopjazz Quote

But it IS this kind of tenor playing that influenced his alto style. MG Quote
