Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from October 1, 2023 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

If you've got any Stan Kenton discs.. his wife Ann Richards (Oct 1, 1935) was a great vocalist for him. She had some solo albums as well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:38pm
DJ Peter:

I might have a Kenton record or two or twenty. I think Richards might even have an album on the Charlie Parker label, my memory seems to be nagging to say… don’t quote me without googling first…

Don't know her catalog too well but I've got a thing for female vocalists from that era. I listened to an album of hers on which Barney Kessel plays. and i think maybe Jack Sheldon..

But I'm digging these Mark Helias tracks!!

So many good singers from that era

I dunno.. I just broke the title in half and googled "houve" which the interwebs says is a hat or cap or head covering of some kind.

Exactly. Not him. But now that I think of it, their love of colorful clothing ties them together. Cut from the same cloth (ouch sorry)

Dean, that’s awesome. I don’t know him well, what should I check out next?
  8:45pm
Dean:

I started with the Red Toucan material, but wow, he's done work for a lot of good labels: Songlines, ezz-thetics... I just purchased 27 CDs from the latter, and I believe one of them is Houle. I didn't even realize that he has a recording with Koglmann's between the lines. I'd want to hear that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:48pm
DJ Peter:

↳ Dean @8:45
That’s a great haul, enjoy it! I’ll definitely look for those Houle recordings, I might have the Koglmann lying around… hat hut?
  8:49pm
Dean:

between the lines, the label Koglmann started after he drifted from hat hut.
  8:50pm
Dean:

For instance, they reissued Opium.
