In Reply to: THE KIDD IS BACK! GOT 5 FIVE NEW TUNES ON posted by opinionated on February 8, 2007 at 11:32:07:
#1. Not sure who this is, but I don't care for this one. The tenor player falls back on a few licks over and over, and the pianist sounds like a decent intermediate player. Don't like the drummer's ride-cymbal sound or wimpy touch so much either. Curious to know who this is and if it was just not their day.#2. This sounds like on of DG's groups from the late 50s or early 60s. DG on tpt, maybe LW on alto.
#3. BK on guitar? West coasters for sure, maybe CB or RF on trumpet.
#4. Nice hard bop date, kind of sounds like CB on tpt. Maybe SC on piano? Maybe PA on bari. Not sure, but all nice.
#5. Isn't this BG's original recording of this song from the album MTJ? Sounds like a young MT on piano. I believe this was his first appearance on record. BG may be somewhat underappreciated as a player, but I think his legacy as a writer is well-known and deeply respected.
Hope I'm close!

That SOB kava stumped me again. Really don't know who these guys are, but I think some of your answers are wrong.#2 Sounds like a tenor player playing alto to me, not Leo. Maybe early ON. RW on tpt?
#4 I thought for a sec. it might be DB & PA, but that can't be Pepper. Sounds more like CD.
#5 If you mean Golson, it sure doesn't sound like him to me. Not liquid enough. I'll be surprised if you're right.
Sure did sound like a tenor player playing alto which is why I thought of Oliver Nelson also. Funny that nobody seemed to hear it that way. It was eerie at times.
On #2, ON is correctOn #4 CD is correct
Did better that you thought

In fact, after reading some of the stuff posted below, I know you're right on at lease some counts. I should have done better on this round. Oh, the shame of it all....

No shame!! I really don't like that tenor player on #1 either. I've been thinking of all the cats I'm not fond of. I was wrong with Johnny Griffin but he was the one I thought would be playing all those useless notes. The unfortunate fact is if your not fond of some cats you don't listen to them and that makes it hard. Or is that Ciala??
Oh well, win some, lose some. I'm just embarrassed because I didn't remember that RM record with FH and, uh, the other guy from your site a few months back. I had a senior moment during the last round with that Hackett/Teagarden thing. I bought that record little over a year ago, but haven't spent quite the time with it that it probably merits. Is this a hazard of owning a lot of records, or am I starting to get old? Is this how it starts, Barry? Hold me, I'm scared.

You can handle it. Stand tall and proud and repeat your name over and over again so you don't forget who you are.Do you know that most of these things Kava put on were almost in my sweet spot by year. #5 I saw in the 50's and beyond, I heard Joe a million times and have a fair amount of his records, I have the RM thing and it just dawned on me that I forgot all about #3. I'll have to listen to that again. Sounds like a West Coast trumpet player but I didn't hear enough yet.

P.S. Hang on. You'll survive but you will never be as happy.
Stop it guys. I'm about 10 months away from officially entering dotage myself and I'm trying to block out all pessimistic thoughts :)I really like Kramer's response to a heckling ball-boy:
Boy: Hey pops, isn't there a better way to spend your twilight years.
Kramer: I may be old, but I'm spry.
I would like to welcome you officialy into dotage when it arrives. I can tell you that a lot of your innards stop working properly IMMEDIATELY. You must quit working and only do what you want to do at the time because time becomes more important but at the same time less important. Forget about your neighbors because they are useless slugs. That's just a few little things to start thinking about. When the time comes I will be there to console you.
getting close myself, at 59. I'm working on developing an appropriate degree of apathy regarding the things I can't remember, things that take me twice as long to do, things I just consider too much of pita to do. Am I on the right track?
You certainly are but remember to not go too gently into the night. Develop an attitude of "the wise old guy" so you will be respected and loved for your ineptitude. Be patient with yourself but show some impatience for others. Eccentricity, even feigned is lovable to the younger set. Heed my advice and you will probably get smacked by someone.

Quick listen before I have to cook. Trumpet could be almost anybody from out there like maybe JS or even SR. Guitar player might be a transplant????
