BFT 250 Reveal

[Dan Gould]

Sorry for the delay, family situation arose necessitating a trip to Naples. I hope that the next one wasn't delayed because of my slowness.

Anywhoo .... different programming approach so different Reveal format.

 

"Daahoud"

Track 1:  

B3 from this:

https://www.discogs.com/release/7265489-Bill-Kirchner-Nonet-What-It-Is-To-Be-Frank?srsltid=AfmBOoqCdgDyrtCbPxiwIbjlTYsAl5OEzwB7CSSMT8aaGJsj9INx7aHF

It was picked as a Felser. It was.

Bill Warfield did the arrangement. There is NO mention of transcribed solos being used.

Warfield, Glenn Wilson (baritone) and Ralph Lalama (tenor) were the soloists.

Track 9:

https://www.discogs.com/release/6394569-The-Bob-Summers-Quintet-Joy-Spring-A-Tribute-To-Clifford-Brown

I didn't know Summers when I sprang for this CD just figured a tribute to Brownie was more likely than not to tickle my fancy. It did.

 

"Billie's Bounce"

Track 2:

https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/131148?u=t&keywords[]=two&keywords[]=tenor&keywords[]=boogie

Percy France was ID'd (tenor soloist number 2) and the other player was Eddie Barefield.  Funny how everybody hated on Sammy Price (or almost everybody).

The broadcast was dubbed "Blue & Boogie" by Schaap as the swing-oriented group played a program of bop warhorses.  Its a great show.

Track 8:

https://www.discogs.com/master/498298-Frank-Morgan-Quartet-Yardbird-Suite

This tune was selected as a potential gimme but only Sangrey got it. It was my first exposure to Morgan and remains my favorite recording of his.

 

"Blues in My Heart"

Track 3:

https://www.discogs.com/master/1271597-Tommy-Flanagan-Trio-Featuring-Kenny-Burrell-Beyond-The-Bluebird

A gimme for tune that wasn't and I thought for the pianist which only Joe worked his way over to.

Track 10:

https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/137704?u=t&keywords[]=ram ramirez&keywords[]=

Ram Ramirez, piano; Jimmy Lewis bass and Jo Jones drums.

 

"Broadway"

Track 4:

https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/130128?u=t&keywords[]=cami

The Countsmen, performing at CAMI Hall, 8-11 p.m., November 9, 1973. Featuring Earle Warren, alto sax, Doc Cheatham, trumpet, Buddy Tate, tenor sax, Chuck Folds, piano, Milt Hinton, bass, and Joe Marshall, drums.

Track 11:

https://www.discogs.com/master/383486-The-3-Sounds-Here-We-Come

 

"Lester Leaps In"

Track 5:

https://www.discogs.com/master/3519277-Nisse-Sandström-Horace-Parlan-Red-Mitchell-Young-Forever

 

Track 12:

https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/131313?u=t&keywords[]=percy france&keywords[]=

Percy France's Rhythm 'n' Jazz; Personnel: Percy France, tenor sax, Ronnie Cole, drums, Harold Dodson, bass, Bob Neloms, piano

Neloms was late but the show had to go on and we get Percy with drums and bass on Lester Leaps In.

 

"9:20 Special"

Track 6:

Disc 2 track 1:

https://www.discogs.com/release/11110567-The-Illinois-Jacquet-All-StarsJr-Mance-Trio-The-JSP-Jazz-Sessions-New-York-1980-Volume-1

Thought Junior Mance was a curveball at this tempo on this track. Didn't think he'd get panned.

 

Track 14:

https://www.discogs.com/release/12713009-Danny-Moss-Quartet-Weaver-Of-Dreams

Best discovery of recent years. All of his recordings on Nagel Heyer are recommended.

 

"Django"

Track 7  - A1 from this:

https://www.discogs.com/master/351252-Les-McCann-Ltd-Pretty-Lady

Always a good Gene Harris fake out.

 

Track 13:

https://www.discogs.com/master/729427-The-Jazztet-And-John-Lewis-2-Featuring-Art-Farmer-And-Benny-Golson-The-Jazztet-And-John-Lewis

Another one meant to be a gimme.

 

"Set Closer"

George Kelly, vocals. Richard Wyands, piano and probably Peck Morrison bass and Ronnie Cole drums.

I say probably because George Kelly, better known as tenor saxophonist, used this tune in all of his West End performances and I frankly lost track of which one this is from.

 

Try and remember this, because if I continue with these, its going to be the last track on all my BFTs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Joe]

Surprises galore! I quite like the first track and am curious to check that one out.
