Apologies, I overlooked that McPhee was correct. Is this, then, from the expanded set of the Nation Time stuff? Indeed it is. A great set imo Quote
Dub Modal Posted June 6 Author Report Posted June 6 Less than a week in, here's the status so far: Tracks fully ID'd: 1, 2, 12 & 14 Partial IDs: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ,8, 10, 11, 13 The Mystery: 9 Partial IDs range from a singular artist involved being named to just about the whole thing but not quite enough. Hopefully others will chime in with thoughts. Quote
Dub Modal Posted June 12 Author Report Posted June 12 12 days into June and only 5 contributors so far. Plenty to guess here still, so if you get time please share some thoughts. Quote

I hope to listen and post sometime after. Quote

Agreed and fewer still want to put their necks out and make comments on unfamiliar music. I feel like I should also point out that right now September remains open for this year. Quote

I still say that laying the guessing game is fun, but it's more than ok to not even try to guess and just give your impressions of what you're hearing. That way, there are no wrong answers! Quote

Putting together these BFTs takes some time and while I don't stack them with my favorite tracks, I do try to include interesting/good songs that maybe not everyone is familiar with. I'm sure that I'm not alone in that regard. 2 hours ago, Dan Gould said: Agreed and fewer still want to put their necks out and make comments on unfamiliar music. If anyone is out there and feeling shy about contributing, just go back and read some of my own responses to other BFTs. I barely guess anyone correctly, and am off in one day or another otherwise. You literally can't do any worse. 1 hour ago, JSngry said: I still say that laying the guessing game is fun, but it's more than ok to not even try to guess and just give your impressions of what you're hearing. That way, there are no wrong answers! This is where I usually live bc unless I'm familiar with the tune, its hard for me to make an accurate guess. If I get one right, it's along the lines of a broken clock being correct twice a day - purely accidental! Quote

JSngry Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 When it started to get silly (imo), I was reminded of the work that Richards did for Boyd Raeburn. Raeburn might be a good pick for a BFT. Hmmm... Quote

Raeburn might be a good pick for a BFT. Hmmm... I don't have any other music like Richards', and that all comes from the Mosaic Select. There are some real gems of playing on that set (Seldon Powell!), but the accoutrements of Richard's compositions can be challenging to get through at times. This is one of those tracks. Quote
JSngry Posted June 13 Report Posted June 13 Just my opinion, but the only Richards that I can can get through totally groan-free is Stan Kenton's Adventures In Time, and that's because it starts over the top and never blinks. Quote
randyhersom Posted June 13 Report Posted June 13 (edited) 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. Edited June 13 by randyhersom Quote

Dub Modal Posted June 21 Author Report Posted June 21 (edited) Foot traffic in the BFT listening room this month remains scarce. I think it's Ken's turn next month and I'm betting he's been cooking up some selections that hopefully attract some more ears. About 9 days left on this one. One mystery track is left but there's a decent amount of partials to fill in some gaps as well. Edited June 21 by Dub Modal Added words Quote
