I'd like to read along and enjoy these debates, but simply don't know nearly as much as most of you guys, so the initials usually leave me baffled. How about using names so us neophytes can learn too?
... and use of initials keeps some of the suspense going. You'll get to know the answers in the end anyways (on Barry's site) so what's the hurry ?Being a neophyte shouldn't really stop you from participating! I think you'll find a pretty even mix, from pros to newbies, who participate in this game. Also, I think one can learn a lot by just attempting the quiz even if the guess is wrong.
people are done posting their guesses or knowledge of who's playing. There'll be a post with a link to the answers.

CM ?

we're going down fast here, aren't we? No worries, I've got harder ones in the barrel.....

#1-#3: They're hipp!!! Is there more on record ?#4: DB on tenor ? The way he slides into the 7th notes reminds me of him but I associate DB with a wider vibrato...
I have two others (maybe more - hafta look). on 45. One is Snow White and the other is Jack and the Beanstalk. Don't see any credits for Steve Allen tho.

...although the one I saw years ago looked quite different. It appears that maybe I'm wrong about Allen authoring the versions I posted, but Jazzbo apparently recorded these ones as well. Interesting.

I'll have to hear those. My disc doesn't have any credits to Steve Allen either, but I'm sure I've seen the book and that it was written by SA.

Like I told dh, I played at a Purple Grotto party for Jazzbo in the 50's. He called his studio the Purple Grotto with mushrooms growing and dripping walls etc. A good cat and a funny man. I met him again years later but he had been getting ill. Still looked the same with those old coolie pants and funky beard.
Must have been quite a character! The more I read about the 50s and 60s the more I feel I was born at the wrong time :)
do you play any instrument? That point on the 7ths really got me.
Thanks! I've fiddled around with a few instruments (does not include the fiddle though :) but never got around to developing serious chops on any. Re:#4 actually as DH pointed out the sound itself is a big clue... too many times I've tended to ignore that and instead concentrate on quirks of phrasing and note choices etc which are not always reliable.
Yes, it's DB on #4. What a sound that guy had. I absolutely love this old side on Savoy. Not sure who the sidemen are, maybe Barry can fill us in on that when the answers are put up.Glad you liked the funnies, those bop fairy tales were written by Steve Allen, and were also put out in book form. I saw the book once a long time ago and now wish I had bought it. The reader here is Al "Jazzbo" Collins, a NYC jazz DJ from years gone by. Brunswick pressed this for Down Beat magazine. I don't know if any others were made. My 78 rpm copy is the only one I've ever seen.
The third track comes from "Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America", a 2-volume set that is now available on CD. These albums are very funny send-ups of early American history, but I think this is the only jazz-related track out of them all.
Nobody mentioned KP & AR I believe on #5, did they? That of course is Gene Ammons solo.....On RT.
That's not the girl singer if that's who you mean. I don't know who the others are.

I have a jazz calender hanging by my computer and the March photo is one of Annie Ross and I had been digging it. She looked real good in 1961.

I know that Peck Morrison played bass 'cause I knew Peck and I think a cat named Ed Lewis played trumpet but I don't know or remember who else was on it. I have this and the Gene Ammons recording. Everybody assumes that Gene Ammons wrote this tune but I think Woody Herman was credited with writing it and some other cat also. Anyway, Gene Ammons made it famous with his beautiful tenor solo.Betty Carter knocked people out with her singing on this thing. Nobody really knew her that well.
Betty Carter was going to be my next guess even tho she sounds a bit different here that on my fave "Out There"

somewhere - maybe on 45. I'll have a look later on. Great fun!
"Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to" Mark Twain
A real joke those 3 first tracks.About #4 it sounds to me like JH but I'm not sure it's an alto sounding so this could be a great fiasco.
#5 No idea. I know a lot of people who aren't hahaha.
#6 In the first solo with muted trumpet reminds a lot of MD in L'Ascenseur pour... but clearly it's not. Surely I know the player. The whole thing could be some ON date. This track has some "added" sax which sounds very familiar...
Miles to me as well. Too EZ?? I need to listen some more.
"Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to" Mark Twain
I thought that one would be easy, but of course, I know the answers!
dh
DB's though??
"Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to" Mark Twain
Not an ON date either since you didn't agree...
The sound of the band should be the giveaway on their identity. The famous guest trumpeter is an odd choice on the face of it, but of course it works very nicely.
dh
but tenor, Duane said in his "liner notes"... Hence #4 could be DG.
Glad you liked the bop comedy.
