Whoozis playing quiz

[Dorsetmike]

I think that's a yes please on the clue

 

[Mat]

Ok, then. The song comes from a 1996 album. Also, the pianist is Canadian.

 

[Dorsetmike]

Canadian and the style would point me to Oscar Peterson, but by 1996 I don't think he was recording so unless the album is a re-release it may not be Oscar.

 

[Mat]

According to Wikipedia, Peterson recorded eight albums after 1995 so I guess it might have beem him. But not in this case.

Here's the next clue. We're looking for a female Canadian pianist.

 

[teddy]

Not Diane Krall by any chance?

[Mat]

That is correct, Teddy.

The solo comes from Hit That Jive Jack song, which comes from a 1996 album - All for you (A dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio) by Diana Krall.

Your turn.

 

[teddy]

I know how you love her, which was a clue for me. I will try and find a clip now.

[teddy]

Just realised I have no way of loading music clips, so maybe you can pose another one Mat, while I find a xolution

[Mat]

Ok, Teddy.

How about this one?

 

[Mat]

K, here's some clues: he's a multiple Grammy Award laureate; both as a frontman and sideman, he recorded close to a 1000 albums.

 

[Mat]

Only five views in almost six months? C'mon, guys. If you don't have the faintest idea what it might be, at least take a guess.

 

[OLDUDE]

Right Mat,
I din't try to answer this one because it's not my kind of music and I dont know the musicians too well.
But here is a go - is it the dreaded John Coltrane?

 

[stu]

I will have a wild guess,Mat. Joe Lovano.

 

[Mat]

I'm afraid it's not Coltrane, John.

Stu, it's not Lovano either, but he and the sax player we're looking for recorded an album together back in 2004.

 

[OLDUDE]

I give in. How about you Stu?

 

[stu]

I will have one more wild guess Mat. Tommy Smith? I say this mainly because when I last attended a Joe Lovano concert they were together in a Smith led group.

 

[Mat]

OK, Stu & John. Time to solve the mistery.

The piece is called No Lonely Nights and comes from a Charlie Haden album called American Dreams featuring Michael Brecker on tenor saxophone.

Who shall post the next one?

 

[stu]

Sorry Mat I will have to go and try and figure out how to do this, or if I even can post clips.

 

[OLDUDE]

Which layed back tenor player was forced to retire because of chest problems and later died of pneumonia.

 

[stu]

John, I have scanned my tenor players on the CD shelves, given it a lot of thought, thought I might know who, but alas,I just can't come up with an answer.
