Might it be "Brother" Jack Mcduff then, Mike?

 

[Dorsetmike]

Nope, unless that's a pseudonym! This man is famous on another instrument among other accomplishments.

 

[White Knight]

How about Jimmy Mcgriff?

 

[Dorsetmike]

Again no. (at this rate you'll kick yourself at the answer)

 

[White Knight]

Again no. (at this rate you'll kick yourself at the answer)

Mike, I quite agree; how about a small clue then?

 

[Dorsetmike]

Big band leader, the organ is not his main instrument.

 

[OLDUDE]

I think this might be count basie - he sometimes played organ

 

[Dorsetmike]

Correct John, from the Paul Quinichette album I downloaded from Amazon. Do you want to set one?

I use a free app called Audacity to clip exerpts, it has an easy to read time scale so I can keep within the 59 seconds necessary to comply with site rules on copyright items.

OK another one, who is the piano player (any other personnel get you bonus points! Apart from the pianist I'd only heard of the bass player before hearing this, some good fodder for John's lesser known artists thread!

 

[OLDUDE]

Mike, Sorry for not responding in time but any way I would have said I hadn't a clue how to set it up as per your starter.
I'll have to get the software and see how it goes (I can be very thick when it comes to new techniques)

Cheers John

I dont know the pianist - but hey, it could be any one of a hundred

Clue, recorded Los Angeles October 1947, with Jake Porter Tpt, Bumps Myers Tsax, Red Callender bass, Lee Young drums.

 

[Mat]

Might that be Erroll Garner?

 

[Dorsetmike]

Sorry Mat, not EG.

 

[Mat]

Is it Mel Powell? (if it is, then I admit I cheated a bit...)

 

[Mat]

Gonna tell us who it was, Mike, or shall we keep guessing?

 

[Dorsetmike]

Ooops sorry Mat, yes you are correct Me; Powell it is, do you want to post one or shall I find another?

 

[Mat]

Think I'll give it a go, Mike.

This one shouldn't be too hard to guess.

 

[Mat]

Need a clue on this one?
