I think jazz is a good barometer of understanding and appreciating multiple genres of music. If you don't get jazz, you won't get improv, avant-garde, noise or appreciate the song craft 'more structured' genres . Just my opinion.

@ngh/Doug: I wonder though if a true appreciation of classical music is had by all jazz enthusiasts. Classical was my "gateway" music, and I think it helped lead me to appreciate many genres.
Avatar 11:32am kat330:

Ohh, this is DJ Duane's relative, right? [not sure whether father, uncle or brother]
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Is that true (about Duane), kat330? I didn't know!

thanks hon -- my nose and I are dancing along at our desk

Matt will know for sure. :) Just waiting on his response.

Seeing Sam Rivers live was my gateway out of the indie rock ghetto. I'd had always been into classical music since I was a little kid.
Avatar 11:36am kat330:

I found it, Doug. Derrick's Duane's uncle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:37am Matt from Springfield:

@kat,NGH: Classical/jazz are both mainly "intellectual" vs. "popular" genres today, but it depends too on whether the listener is more into structure or deconstruction/free form, and that would further separate which types of jazz they prefer.

I'm more into Classical and know about that. I like jazz and love the master "curating" Doug and other DJs here do to bring us great tracks--though I couldn't call myself a "jazz person".

Happy Birthday to you and your nose, Jessie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:38am Matt from Springfield:

@kat: You broke the news to me this time! That's awesome, Duane's uncle is pretty great!

Happy Birthday from all north of Watford and on behalf of those in Watford too..

@Matt: Find a track on one of Duane's playlists after Thanksgiving 2012 where he recorded the Harriott family sing-along. It was sublime harmonizing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40am Matt from Springfield:

Of course they would all come through--hearing that it's for Jessie's birthday! :)
HBD once again!

I love the ears on that kitty, Paul Sherratt!
Avatar 11:43am northguineahills:

I remember Duane talking about Derrick Harriot a while back.
Avatar 11:44am kat330:

@Doug: Yes, they appear to be acting as ailerons.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:44am Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Thanks for the rec!
Anthropologists have found that families really do sing together better than with non-relatives. Explains all the great "Family" vocal groups from country, folk, doo wop, soul to the present.

Now I've never figured out if Derrick Harriott (and thus Duane) is related the genius Jamaican sax player Joe Harriott. (One of my all-time faves.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Doesn't Sachiko sound like Laura Nyro on this track?!

not to rain on this parade, but was just alerted to this: www.citypress.co.za...
Avatar 11:45am kat330:

@Matt: wfmu.org... The 3rd track from the end of that show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:47am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: YES!
Can't remember if other commenters have compared Sachiko to Ms. Nyro before, but I remember a favorable comparison someone made to some Western singer on a playlist before.
Avatar 11:47am kat330:

@Matt: My fondest childhood memories were Thanksgiving at my maternal grandparents' home when my uncle played guitar and we all sang in at least 3-part harmony, occasionally 4-part. :)
Avatar 11:49am kat330:

@ngh: Yeah, me too, and rather recently either earlier this month or late January. But the Harriott name stuck out because of that family at T-giving track. My family sure never sounded that swell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Jeff Golick,
Any sneak previews for your upcoming D:O RADIO on Monday (noon-3pm, right here on Give the Drummer Radio!)?

Ah, that would be myself! I called her "the Japanese Joni [Mitchell]" after "Running Away on a Road of Snow" was played on Surface Noise:

Avatar 11:52am kat330:

Oh, Fabio played a track off this I believe. It's lovely! And what pranksters at the label to name it that "pray" on words.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:52am Doug Schulkind:

You only quote the really smart listeners, Matt.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:53am Matt from Springfield:

@Artie,kat: So nice to bring out an occasional harmony!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: Smart listener you are! :) You know that I have quoted yourself before, then? :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Artie!
Avatar 11:54am kat330:

Our on-rare occasion harmonious family lacked most all the soul the Harriott family demonstrates. But then we were singing such "standards" as "Whispering Hope," "I've Got a Mansion Just Over the Hilltop," etc.

Braxron is "Braxton" as back-announced by Scooby-Do.

Matt goes around requoting himself unawares, and now I go around favoriting a track I already favored, just in a different incarnation. ;)

GREAT show, Doug! I'll catch the earlier sets in the archives. Have a great birthday weekend!

Bye everybody -- be safe!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

I'm gonna quote Matt about you favoriting your favorites.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:01pm Matt from Springfield:

@kat: The more favoriting/quoting, the merrier!
