	11:07am TDK60: Oh, it must've been Texas. \\ Oh, I actually heard a sleep specialist on public radio once. They said one shouldn't normally nap more than 45 minutes or an hour. And, not too late into the evening if one has a usual routine.

	11:11am Bob Brainen: re: Naps, I think everyone's brain works differently. But I think I often overnap. It's like "sleep sleep part one."
	11:12am Bob Brainen: tom tom the pipers son: yes '76.
	🥁 11:12am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Where Have You Been Billy Boy?" by "The Warm Voic... I’ve been here the whole time. Where has this recording been for the past 47 years of my life?
	🥁 11:13am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Where Have You Been Billy Boy?" by "The Warm Voic... There's a Strata-East sound. Dry, straightforward production.
	11:13am Bob Brainen: wmfromD, yeah, no nonsense.
	11:16am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Rowan Tree" by "Lisa Knapp" There are Naps and there are Knapps!

	11:20am TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:18 Hola, Mr Twinkie. This is why I use a timer when nappin.' Then, it's up and time for more coffee! Always looking for more excuses for coffee.

	11:26am dan: Underrated Mamas and Papas tune
	11:26am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Cany... Nice cover, great tune!
	🥁 11:27am wmfromD: ↳ dan @11:26 Agreed. And from an underrated album.
	🥁 11:27am (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @11:26 It’s a masterpiece. Delighted to hear what these kids have done with it.
	11:28am Gerry from Miami: Who has the Mama Cass part in this version of 12:30? Hoffs or Crow?
	11:28am Gina Bacon: Morning, Andrew!
	11:28am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @11:20 Of course! More coffee is always the pause that refreshes. I just love sleeping! As you probably know, I don't have many responsibilities, so why not sleep?
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Hard to tell.
	11:30am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Cany... Rufus is appearing in a Folkocracy tour at a few venues in Joisey.
	11:30am StringOFperils: That was a nice set of music, Bob. Good morning...from the nap chair
	🥁 11:32am Brian in UK: Hello Bob & nappers. 'To be called by noon Is to be called too soon I spend my whole life sleeping'.
	11:36am SecretSquirrel: Hi Bob ‘n’ all!
	11:37am Soule: Good morning, Bob and everyone! I'm up.
	🥁 11:38am wmfromD: Hope Sandoval?
	🥁 11:38am Brian in UK: Hope Springs?
	11:38am TDK60: Ikiru is a great movie. I never read the Tolstoy book.
	11:39am Gerry from Miami: Didn't Stella Stevens play Peter Gunn's girlfriend on that old TV detective series?
	11:45am Bob Brainen: Brian in UK!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: SecretSquirrel!
	11:46am Bob Brainen: Soule!
	11:46am dan: Bartok segue into Rafferty, classic Bob Brainen move
	11:46am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Rick Rack" by "Humblebums [Gerry Rafferty]" And Billy Connolly!
	11:47am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils!
	🥁 11:47am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Rick Rack" by "Humblebums [Gerry Rafferty]" Not heard this in years but most of the words are coming back to me.
	11:48am Bob Brainen: Roberto!
	11:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dan @11:46 thought so too
	11:49am Gerry from Miami: Just looked it up. LOLA ALBRIGHT played opposite CRAIG STEVENS as his girlfriend, Edie, on "Peter Gunn." STELLA STEVENS played on the medical drama, "Ben Casey."
	11:49am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Purty!
	🥁 11:50am (Mr) Bill: (A week late.) R.I.P. Astrud Gilberto. Such a crush I once had on her.
	11:51am Roberto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:48 Roberto!
	🥁 11:51am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... 56th anniversary of the Cros saying silly stuff to a large audience at the Monterey Pop Fest.
	🥁 11:51am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Never heard of Allen Stanton since producing this album.
	11:51am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like A Woman" by "Richie Havens" One of the best Dylan covers EVER (Jimi's Watchtower would be another)!
	11:52am Gerry from Miami: I am a fool for the sound of a 12-string electric Rickenbacker guitar! Still sends shivers up my spine.
	🥁 11:52am Brian in UK: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:52 Once under the skin it never leaves.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Before I knew what heather was, I always imagined Roger McGuinn was singing about a sweater.
	11:53am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Just Like A Woman" by "Richie Havens" The vocal and the feel on this is very similar to the early Joe Cocker version, which is also great.
	11:53am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like A Woman" by "Richie Havens" Havens phases behind and around the beat like a jazz singer.
	11:53am Bob Brainen: Stanton's credits are unusual: www.discogs.com...
	11:54am Jeff: Bob, I’m on page 368 of the Leon bio. I think it’s really well researched and written, but I’ve been distracted. Otherwise, I would’ve been finished by now.
	11:55am SecretSquirrel: First time or the thousandth, Haven’s version is heartbreakingly good
	11:55am TDK60: ↳ wmfromD @11:51 2023 = 57th year since I saw both the Byrds and Havens on Bleecker Street. I was a kid, until then.
	11:55am Sem: May the gods bless Richie.
	11:55am Doug Schulkind: Shit. I even loved Richie's Amtrak commercials.
	🥁 11:56am wmfromD: ↳ TDK60 @11:55 As always TDK60, envious.
	11:56am Gerry from Miami: @Brian in UK. Had a friend in college who played an ACOUSTIC 12-string. He described it as a cheese shredder because of how it ripped up the player's fingers.
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Jeff, it's been something of a slog for me. Bios that are very long have info I'm just not interested in. He's a fine writer.
	11:56am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @11:55 They made you think things?
	11:56am doctorjazz: ↳ TDK60 @11:55 Also jealous, that's very cool!
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind, ya know, there is something about a train!
	11:58am Bob Brainen: On the other hand, some books are too short for my taste. I wish the Joe Boyd book was more fleshed out, for instance. Hey, we all have our schtick.
	🥁 11:58am Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:53 Bob, so essentially a Colombia staff producer?
	12:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster" by "Charle... Don't know this, very cool!
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Brian in UK, I believe so. But if he had just produced Eight Miles High he'd be ok in my book!
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:58 Agreed.
	12:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster" by "Charle... The Band here- Alto Saxophone – Charles McPherson Bass, Piano, Liner Notes – Charles Mingus Design [Cover] – Charles Mingus Drums – Dannie Richmond French Horn – Julius Watkins Trumpet – Hobart Dotson, Jimmy Owens, Lonnie Hillyer Tuba – Howard Johnson (3) (this is pretty expensive on Discogs...)
	12:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:03 (not so bad a as a CD reissue...)
	12:07pm Dean: Was just on the UCLA campus this past Wednesday. Haven't been to Royce Hall in decades.
	12:08pm TDK60: Richie Havens' last album, Nobody Left To Crown, (2008) is pretty darn good. Some topical stuff on there, a song about Hurricane Katrina, etc.
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: Dean!
	12:10pm Gerry from Miami: Hearing this rare piece by Charles Mingus and friends reminded me of an old Donovan song I really love, "Sunny Goodge Street," in which he drops a reference to Mr. Mingus. My favorite version of the tune is by Judy Collins.
	12:10pm spodiodi: greetings, Bob! greetings, all
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	12:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:10 hiya spodi!
	12:13pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Of course, the mono version is superior. Hee.
	12:15pm Sem: ↳ spodiodi @12:10 s'pod'i, yo!
	12:18pm Gerry from Miami: @Dean. I lived in LA for 37 years, but haven't been back that way since 2008. Attended many a concert at UCLA's Royce Hall. Keith Jarrett Quartet w/ Haden, Motian and Redman, Van Morrison, Cecil Taylor, Jean-Luc Ponty and a wonderful 2-night revue of artists on the ECM label(Gary Burton, Terje Rypdal, Pat Metheny et al) stand out in my memory.
	12:19pm Bob Brainen: Gerry, those sound like great shows!
	12:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We Love You" by "Rolling Stones" Psychedelic Stones! (wasn't their best sound, though some of it was really good)
	12:21pm Jeff: It’s hard for me to listen to Richie Furay (these days) without thinking of the extreme right wing trump loving evangelical he’s become. And, I really loved Springfield and Poco!
	12:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:18 Those do sound great!
	12:22pm Soule: Speaking of producers' books, I got a huge kick out of John Simon's memoir "Truth, Lies, and Hearsay."
	12:22pm dan: I went to see the Happy Together Tour at Westbury Music Fair last week; The Turtles, Little Anthony, Gary Puckett, The Cowsills, The Vogues and Classics IV. An amazing evening of G-Rated music and nostalgia.
	12:22pm Dean: @Gerry from Miami (formerly from LA): I lived there for forty years, give or take. I remember attending two performances by Piccolo Teatro di Milano of Shakespeare's The Tempest in Italian, Il Tempeto, during the '84 Olympic Arts Festival. Offhand, I can't recall ever hearing a concert there, though for some reason I'm thinking Kipper Kids performed there, but that doesn't seem right.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @12:21 Hey, then there's Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters-sometimes it's hard to separate the music and the man, but musicians aren't necessarily smart political thinkers.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Jeff @12:21 Yeah that can be tough, some things I can compartmentalize, others I can't. No logic to it.
	12:26pm Roberto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:23 Oy, that Roger, vat a meshuggie.
	12:26pm dan: @doctorjazz We pay musicians to sing, not filibuster
	12:27pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, they were truly memorable. Got to go backstage to the artists' dressing room and meet Cecil Taylor(only because I was with a friend, jazz superstar flutist, James Newton). Hung out, but didn't get in to meet Van Morrison, but did meet keyboardist Garth Hudson of the Band. Sorry for all the name-dropping. Was just on a lucky streak back then in the 70s.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: Have the tab open for the upcoming Rufus Wainwright show at MPAC (it pisses me off when I search for a concert, wind up on a resale site with tickets 2-3 times the original sale price WHEN THE ORIGINAL VENUE STILL HAS TICKETS FOR SALE AT THE ORIGINAL PRICE!)
	12:27pm dan: @Roberto Roger Waters’ criticism of Israel goes beyond political discourse, it’s personal.
	12:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Up On The Bridge" by "Chiffons" that organ is a little harsh
	12:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Roberto @12:26 :-)
	12:29pm Dean: I think I am pretty consistent about compartmentalizing. I bet there are counter-examples that I defensively refuse to acknowledge, but for the most part I don't care about artists' ideological skews. In fact, I rather welcome outlier expression--say, Waters'--because the wider cultural responses it triggers have as much to teach me as the individual's remarks themselves.
	12:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ dan @12:26 That's a great idea-there's always talk about filibuster reform...it should be a requirement that Senators sing for the entire filibuster! (then again, it might be painful to listen to, but that could end them sooner. Just a thought...)
	12:32pm Dean: Okay, one counter-example just occurred to me: Frank Sinatra. I've never quite taken to his singing, and so it helps that I also think he was a jerk. But that behavioral/ideological aspect really is second-order. If I enjoyed his singing, I'd overlook his chauvinism.
	12:32pm Soule: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:27 Oh, man, James Newton is great.
	12:33pm dan: Promenade; the basis for every sitcom theme of the 1950s
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Soule @12:32 Agreed, was a big fan and bought many of his records back when he released jazz albums.
	12:33pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:23 Dean, he did quite a bit for Civil Rights. The House I Live In, etc.
	12:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dan @12:33 ha! right.
	12:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:22 Frank Zappa conducting an orchestra in Royce Hall, Talking Heads on the Janss Steps, B52's in Wooden Gym, Arthur Lee at Royce Hall, again. But probably the most affecting - X, The Plugz, The Rebles on a upstairs patio in the sculpture on a damp night in 1979. Wild and unhinged. My first date with a woman who wrecked my life.
	12:35pm Dean: Yes, people are complex organisms.
	12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:32 I have to say I've never "gotten" Sinatra either-folks drool over his phrasing, sound of his voice, always sounded bland and boring to me. Go figure...
	12:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Corpse Pose" by "Ben Goldberg" I need to see Goldberg, haven't been able to catch him when he's playing in these parts.
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: My mom couldn't stand Johnnie Ray back in the 50s. Too facially and physically expressive, she said. Likewise for Nat "King" Cole. She loved his voice, but couldn't take the strong, exaggerated facial movemenrs he employed while singing at the piano. To each his own!
	12:37pm Soule: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 Sinatra records aren't just about the singing, tho. He worked with such great arrangers.
	12:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 Try Watertown doc.
	12:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Soule @12:37 So did Ella (some of the same arrangers); I'd much rather here her with them.
	12:39pm Dean: Spent some quality time on Janss Steps on Wednesday! And speaking of civil rights: https://dailybruin.com/2020/07/06/janss-brothers-history-of-discrimination-prompts-call-for-changing-name-of-steps I can't exactly pin down what fails to grab me re: Sinatra. Mostly, vaguely, I just can't imagine wanting to hear a full side of any of his albums. But then compare Tony Bennett or Johnny Mathis, whom I enjoy. And yes, Ella. Early on I was not an Ella fan, either, but my tune has changed. She can be mesmerizing.
	12:40pm spodiodi: aloha, S'em! hey, Andrew!
	12:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:38 www.discogs.com...
	12:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:39 I also didn't start out loving Ella (I'd go for a Sarah Vaughan record over Ella). But time (and an Ella loving spouse, and the Ella/Louis recordings) have changed my mind on Ella, absolutely love her singing.
	12:41pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz and Soule. Yes, James Newton is a great artist. He seems to be concentrating more on large-scale classical compositions and liturgical music these days. And, like the rest of us, he ain't gettin' any younger!
	12:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:40 Thanks for the link!
	12:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:42 Nina Simone covered For A While off this.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Acid Acropolis" by "Leon Russell" Very cool track!
	12:48pm Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. I was at that Talking Heads concert on the UCLA Law School steps too!! Only found out about it by listening live to KROQ. No advance planning! Jump in the car and go!! My friend and I got stuck in the exit traffic on Westwood Blvd right next to David Byrne in his vehicle. We gave him a wave, a smile and a thumbs-up.
	12:48pm Jeff: Around 40-45 years ago, I was outside the Lone Star Cafe talking to Mort Cooperman (the owner). I asked him why he hasn’t booked Leon Russell to play the club. He told me Leon was nuts. I didn’t think that was a valid reason.
	12:49pm Franco Twinkie: My mom gave me Retrospective and Live at Leeds on my fifteenth birthday.
	12:50pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:48 It was a wild show for sure. Every music freak in L.A. was there.
	12:50pm Dean: Oh, yes, Sarah Vaughan! One of those amazing Tower Records close-outs remains a prize in my collection: multi-LP set of Sarah's Pablo recordings. I think I paid twelve bucks for it.
	12:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:49 My mom bought The Barry Sisters and Tony Orlando/Dawn's Knock 3 Times (which she thought was very hip). Very different exposures (thank goodness for FM radio of the time)
	12:55pm Franco Twinkie: Actually, Knock Three Times was more pertinent to my young life later on.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:50 Funny, the NY Tower outlet had 3 Sarah Vaughan Box Sets, The Complete...On Mercury. Has a lot of Vaughan trying for a pop hit, not all compelling, but Volume 3, the live recordings, is great!
	12:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "See See Rider" by "Jelly Roll Morton" This is GREAT!!! (still hoping you'll get to the 20;s Red Hot Peppers when you get through the Library of Congress recordings)
	12:59pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:57 We'll see, we have a long way to go!
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Shotgun.
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:59 I have v1 and v2 of the Library recordings, I see the complete is 7 CDs, could take a bit of time indeed!
	1:17pm dan: Young Joe Cocker
	1:27pm sydnius: ↳ Song: "The Dance Of The Wily Old Fox Of The Ballyhoura M... ’afternoon Bob & 🧠 — my wife calls anything of this style ”falling down the stairs” music
	1:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Dance Of The Wily Old Fox Of The Ballyhoura M... That was terrific!
	1:28pm John L: ↳ Song: "The Dance Of The Wily Old Fox Of The Ballyhoura M... This is great. I'm sad to say I didn't follow Tippet's later career, but I'm gonna have to get this.
	1:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ sydnius @1:27 MsJazz calls anything of this style "time to go upstairs"
	1:33pm sydnius: reviews of ItWoP that make me laugh: ”a stereo recording of their first album”
	1:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Blue Form" by "Mu" Finally! I've always wondered what Mu sounded like.
	1:40pm sydnius: ↳ doctorjazz @1:28 but then she’s missing this amazing µ
	1:41pm Andrew in Toronto: Mu is slinky.
	1:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:39 Me too Franco.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ sydnius @1:40 I think she's OK with that (over the years, though, she's built up a tolerance for weirder and weirder music (in her mind), she's come with me to some really out shows, even enjoyed an occasional one).
	1:43pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ sydnius @1:40 Here`s the Mu Discogs link: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 1:46pm chresti: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:39 There's also an artist "MU" that did a song called "Paris Hilton" www.youtube.com...
	1:49pm John L: I work part time in a record store and a customer asked for a jazz recommendation. I played Eric Dolphy-Out To Lunch. He asked me to take it off because it made him nervous.
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ John L @1:49 It takes all kinds.
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @1:46 Thanks cresti.
	🥁 1:52pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:51 Some kinds I could live without.
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:59 What a great show! Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:53pm (Mr) Bill: A wonderful show. Very complex, in the best possible sense.
	1:53pm sydnius: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:51 I prefer ”there are all kinds”
	1:54pm spodiodi: great show! thanks, Bob
	1:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thx bb
	1:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:43 Mu was lead by Jeff Cotton who was in Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. Sure as shit doesn't sound like Trout Mask Replica!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Time flew by, thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:55pm listener james from westwood: Spiffo stuff, Bob—thanks!
	1:55pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:54 No kidding.
	1:56pm sydnius: thx so much bob 🐸
	1:56pm Franco Twinkie: Jolly good time Bob!
	1:56pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:57pm wmfromD: Great show Bob! Thanks!

	11:11am Bob Brainen: re: Naps, I think everyone's brain works differently. But I think I often overnap. It's like "sleep sleep part one."
	11:12am Bob Brainen: tom tom the pipers son: yes '76.
	🥁 11:12am (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Where Have You Been Billy Boy?" by "The Warm Voic... I’ve been here the whole time. Where has this recording been for the past 47 years of my life?

	11:26am dan: Underrated Mamas and Papas tune
	11:26am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Cany... Nice cover, great tune!
	🥁 11:27am wmfromD: ↳ dan @11:26 Agreed. And from an underrated album.
	🥁 11:27am (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @11:26 It’s a masterpiece. Delighted to hear what these kids have done with it.
	11:28am Gerry from Miami: Who has the Mama Cass part in this version of 12:30? Hoffs or Crow?
	11:28am Gina Bacon: Morning, Andrew!
	11:28am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @11:20 Of course! More coffee is always the pause that refreshes. I just love sleeping! As you probably know, I don't have many responsibilities, so why not sleep?
	11:29am Bob Brainen: Gerry from Miami! Hard to tell.
	11:30am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Cany... Rufus is appearing in a Folkocracy tour at a few venues in Joisey.
	11:30am StringOFperils: That was a nice set of music, Bob. Good morning...from the nap chair
	🥁 11:32am Brian in UK: Hello Bob & nappers. 'To be called by noon Is to be called too soon I spend my whole life sleeping'.

	11:37am Soule: Good morning, Bob and everyone! I'm up.
	🥁 11:38am wmfromD: Hope Sandoval?
	🥁 11:38am Brian in UK: Hope Springs?

	11:46am Bob Brainen: Soule!
	11:46am dan: Bartok segue into Rafferty, classic Bob Brainen move
	11:46am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Rick Rack" by "Humblebums [Gerry Rafferty]" And Billy Connolly!
	11:47am Bob Brainen: StringOFperils!
	🥁 11:47am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Rick Rack" by "Humblebums [Gerry Rafferty]" Not heard this in years but most of the words are coming back to me.
	11:48am Bob Brainen: Roberto!
	11:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dan @11:46 thought so too
	11:49am Gerry from Miami: Just looked it up. LOLA ALBRIGHT played opposite CRAIG STEVENS as his girlfriend, Edie, on "Peter Gunn." STELLA STEVENS played on the medical drama, "Ben Casey."
	11:49am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Purty!
	🥁 11:50am (Mr) Bill: (A week late.) R.I.P. Astrud Gilberto. Such a crush I once had on her.
	11:51am Roberto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:48 Roberto!
	🥁 11:51am wmfromD: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... 56th anniversary of the Cros saying silly stuff to a large audience at the Monterey Pop Fest.
	🥁 11:51am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Never heard of Allen Stanton since producing this album.
	11:51am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like A Woman" by "Richie Havens" One of the best Dylan covers EVER (Jimi's Watchtower would be another)!
	11:52am Gerry from Miami: I am a fool for the sound of a 12-string electric Rickenbacker guitar! Still sends shivers up my spine.
	🥁 11:52am Brian in UK: ↳ Gerry from Miami @11:52 Once under the skin it never leaves.
	11:53am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Before I knew what heather was, I always imagined Roger McGuinn was singing about a sweater.
	11:53am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Just Like A Woman" by "Richie Havens" The vocal and the feel on this is very similar to the early Joe Cocker version, which is also great.
	11:53am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just Like A Woman" by "Richie Havens" Havens phases behind and around the beat like a jazz singer.
	11:53am Bob Brainen: Stanton's credits are unusual: www.discogs.com...
	11:54am Jeff: Bob, I’m on page 368 of the Leon bio. I think it’s really well researched and written, but I’ve been distracted. Otherwise, I would’ve been finished by now.
	11:55am SecretSquirrel: First time or the thousandth, Haven’s version is heartbreakingly good
	11:55am TDK60: ↳ wmfromD @11:51 2023 = 57th year since I saw both the Byrds and Havens on Bleecker Street. I was a kid, until then.
	11:55am Sem: May the gods bless Richie.
	11:55am Doug Schulkind: Shit. I even loved Richie's Amtrak commercials.
	🥁 11:56am wmfromD: ↳ TDK60 @11:55 As always TDK60, envious.
	11:56am Gerry from Miami: @Brian in UK. Had a friend in college who played an ACOUSTIC 12-string. He described it as a cheese shredder because of how it ripped up the player's fingers.
	11:56am Bob Brainen: Jeff, it's been something of a slog for me. Bios that are very long have info I'm just not interested in. He's a fine writer.
	11:56am Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @11:55 They made you think things?
	11:56am doctorjazz: ↳ TDK60 @11:55 Also jealous, that's very cool!
	11:57am Bob Brainen: Doug Schulkind, ya know, there is something about a train!
	11:58am Bob Brainen: On the other hand, some books are too short for my taste. I wish the Joe Boyd book was more fleshed out, for instance. Hey, we all have our schtick.
	🥁 11:58am Brian in UK: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:53 Bob, so essentially a Colombia staff producer?
	12:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster" by "Charle... Don't know this, very cool!
	12:01pm Bob Brainen: Brian in UK, I believe so. But if he had just produced Eight Miles High he'd be ok in my book!
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:58 Agreed.
	12:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Arts Of Tatum And Freddie Webster" by "Charle... The Band here- Alto Saxophone – Charles McPherson Bass, Piano, Liner Notes – Charles Mingus Design [Cover] – Charles Mingus Drums – Dannie Richmond French Horn – Julius Watkins Trumpet – Hobart Dotson, Jimmy Owens, Lonnie Hillyer Tuba – Howard Johnson (3) (this is pretty expensive on Discogs...)
	12:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:03 (not so bad a as a CD reissue...)
	12:07pm Dean: Was just on the UCLA campus this past Wednesday. Haven't been to Royce Hall in decades.
	12:08pm TDK60: Richie Havens' last album, Nobody Left To Crown, (2008) is pretty darn good. Some topical stuff on there, a song about Hurricane Katrina, etc.
	12:09pm Bob Brainen: Dean!
	12:10pm Gerry from Miami: Hearing this rare piece by Charles Mingus and friends reminded me of an old Donovan song I really love, "Sunny Goodge Street," in which he drops a reference to Mr. Mingus. My favorite version of the tune is by Judy Collins.
	12:10pm spodiodi: greetings, Bob! greetings, all
	12:11pm Bob Brainen: spodiodi!
	12:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:10 hiya spodi!
	12:13pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme (right channel doubled)" by "... Of course, the mono version is superior. Hee.
	12:15pm Sem: ↳ spodiodi @12:10 s'pod'i, yo!
	12:18pm Gerry from Miami: @Dean. I lived in LA for 37 years, but haven't been back that way since 2008. Attended many a concert at UCLA's Royce Hall. Keith Jarrett Quartet w/ Haden, Motian and Redman, Van Morrison, Cecil Taylor, Jean-Luc Ponty and a wonderful 2-night revue of artists on the ECM label(Gary Burton, Terje Rypdal, Pat Metheny et al) stand out in my memory.
	12:19pm Bob Brainen: Gerry, those sound like great shows!
	12:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We Love You" by "Rolling Stones" Psychedelic Stones! (wasn't their best sound, though some of it was really good)
	12:21pm Jeff: It’s hard for me to listen to Richie Furay (these days) without thinking of the extreme right wing trump loving evangelical he’s become. And, I really loved Springfield and Poco!
	12:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:18 Those do sound great!
	12:22pm Soule: Speaking of producers' books, I got a huge kick out of John Simon's memoir "Truth, Lies, and Hearsay."
	12:22pm dan: I went to see the Happy Together Tour at Westbury Music Fair last week; The Turtles, Little Anthony, Gary Puckett, The Cowsills, The Vogues and Classics IV. An amazing evening of G-Rated music and nostalgia.
	12:22pm Dean: @Gerry from Miami (formerly from LA): I lived there for forty years, give or take. I remember attending two performances by Piccolo Teatro di Milano of Shakespeare's The Tempest in Italian, Il Tempeto, during the '84 Olympic Arts Festival. Offhand, I can't recall ever hearing a concert there, though for some reason I'm thinking Kipper Kids performed there, but that doesn't seem right.
	12:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff @12:21 Hey, then there's Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters-sometimes it's hard to separate the music and the man, but musicians aren't necessarily smart political thinkers.
	12:23pm Bob Brainen: ↳ Jeff @12:21 Yeah that can be tough, some things I can compartmentalize, others I can't. No logic to it.
	12:26pm Roberto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:23 Oy, that Roger, vat a meshuggie.
	12:26pm dan: @doctorjazz We pay musicians to sing, not filibuster
	12:27pm Gerry from Miami: BOB, they were truly memorable. Got to go backstage to the artists' dressing room and meet Cecil Taylor(only because I was with a friend, jazz superstar flutist, James Newton). Hung out, but didn't get in to meet Van Morrison, but did meet keyboardist Garth Hudson of the Band. Sorry for all the name-dropping. Was just on a lucky streak back then in the 70s.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: Have the tab open for the upcoming Rufus Wainwright show at MPAC (it pisses me off when I search for a concert, wind up on a resale site with tickets 2-3 times the original sale price WHEN THE ORIGINAL VENUE STILL HAS TICKETS FOR SALE AT THE ORIGINAL PRICE!)
	12:27pm dan: @Roberto Roger Waters’ criticism of Israel goes beyond political discourse, it’s personal.
	12:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Up On The Bridge" by "Chiffons" that organ is a little harsh
	12:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Roberto @12:26 :-)
	12:29pm Dean: I think I am pretty consistent about compartmentalizing. I bet there are counter-examples that I defensively refuse to acknowledge, but for the most part I don't care about artists' ideological skews. In fact, I rather welcome outlier expression--say, Waters'--because the wider cultural responses it triggers have as much to teach me as the individual's remarks themselves.
	12:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ dan @12:26 That's a great idea-there's always talk about filibuster reform...it should be a requirement that Senators sing for the entire filibuster! (then again, it might be painful to listen to, but that could end them sooner. Just a thought...)
	12:32pm Dean: Okay, one counter-example just occurred to me: Frank Sinatra. I've never quite taken to his singing, and so it helps that I also think he was a jerk. But that behavioral/ideological aspect really is second-order. If I enjoyed his singing, I'd overlook his chauvinism.
	12:32pm Soule: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:27 Oh, man, James Newton is great.
	12:33pm dan: Promenade; the basis for every sitcom theme of the 1950s
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Soule @12:32 Agreed, was a big fan and bought many of his records back when he released jazz albums.
	12:33pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:23 Dean, he did quite a bit for Civil Rights. The House I Live In, etc.
	12:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dan @12:33 ha! right.
	12:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @12:22 Frank Zappa conducting an orchestra in Royce Hall, Talking Heads on the Janss Steps, B52's in Wooden Gym, Arthur Lee at Royce Hall, again. But probably the most affecting - X, The Plugz, The Rebles on a upstairs patio in the sculpture on a damp night in 1979. Wild and unhinged. My first date with a woman who wrecked my life.
	12:35pm Dean: Yes, people are complex organisms.
	12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:32 I have to say I've never "gotten" Sinatra either-folks drool over his phrasing, sound of his voice, always sounded bland and boring to me. Go figure...
	12:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Corpse Pose" by "Ben Goldberg" I need to see Goldberg, haven't been able to catch him when he's playing in these parts.
	12:37pm Gerry from Miami: My mom couldn't stand Johnnie Ray back in the 50s. Too facially and physically expressive, she said. Likewise for Nat "King" Cole. She loved his voice, but couldn't take the strong, exaggerated facial movemenrs he employed while singing at the piano. To each his own!
	12:37pm Soule: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 Sinatra records aren't just about the singing, tho. He worked with such great arrangers.
	12:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 Try Watertown doc.
	12:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Soule @12:37 So did Ella (some of the same arrangers); I'd much rather here her with them.
	12:39pm Dean: Spent some quality time on Janss Steps on Wednesday! And speaking of civil rights: https://dailybruin.com/2020/07/06/janss-brothers-history-of-discrimination-prompts-call-for-changing-name-of-steps I can't exactly pin down what fails to grab me re: Sinatra. Mostly, vaguely, I just can't imagine wanting to hear a full side of any of his albums. But then compare Tony Bennett or Johnny Mathis, whom I enjoy. And yes, Ella. Early on I was not an Ella fan, either, but my tune has changed. She can be mesmerizing.
	12:40pm spodiodi: aloha, S'em! hey, Andrew!
	12:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:38 www.discogs.com...
	12:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:39 I also didn't start out loving Ella (I'd go for a Sarah Vaughan record over Ella). But time (and an Ella loving spouse, and the Ella/Louis recordings) have changed my mind on Ella, absolutely love her singing.
	12:41pm Gerry from Miami: @doctorjazz and Soule. Yes, James Newton is a great artist. He seems to be concentrating more on large-scale classical compositions and liturgical music these days. And, like the rest of us, he ain't gettin' any younger!
	12:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:40 Thanks for the link!
	12:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:42 Nina Simone covered For A While off this.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Acid Acropolis" by "Leon Russell" Very cool track!
	12:48pm Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. I was at that Talking Heads concert on the UCLA Law School steps too!! Only found out about it by listening live to KROQ. No advance planning! Jump in the car and go!! My friend and I got stuck in the exit traffic on Westwood Blvd right next to David Byrne in his vehicle. We gave him a wave, a smile and a thumbs-up.
	12:48pm Jeff: Around 40-45 years ago, I was outside the Lone Star Cafe talking to Mort Cooperman (the owner). I asked him why he hasn’t booked Leon Russell to play the club. He told me Leon was nuts. I didn’t think that was a valid reason.
	12:49pm Franco Twinkie: My mom gave me Retrospective and Live at Leeds on my fifteenth birthday.
	12:50pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:48 It was a wild show for sure. Every music freak in L.A. was there.
	12:50pm Dean: Oh, yes, Sarah Vaughan! One of those amazing Tower Records close-outs remains a prize in my collection: multi-LP set of Sarah's Pablo recordings. I think I paid twelve bucks for it.
	12:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:49 My mom bought The Barry Sisters and Tony Orlando/Dawn's Knock 3 Times (which she thought was very hip). Very different exposures (thank goodness for FM radio of the time)
	12:55pm Franco Twinkie: Actually, Knock Three Times was more pertinent to my young life later on.
	12:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:50 Funny, the NY Tower outlet had 3 Sarah Vaughan Box Sets, The Complete...On Mercury. Has a lot of Vaughan trying for a pop hit, not all compelling, but Volume 3, the live recordings, is great!
	12:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "See See Rider" by "Jelly Roll Morton" This is GREAT!!! (still hoping you'll get to the 20;s Red Hot Peppers when you get through the Library of Congress recordings)
	12:59pm Bob Brainen: ↳ doctorjazz @12:57 We'll see, we have a long way to go!
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Shotgun.
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:59 I have v1 and v2 of the Library recordings, I see the complete is 7 CDs, could take a bit of time indeed!
	1:17pm dan: Young Joe Cocker
	1:27pm sydnius: ↳ Song: "The Dance Of The Wily Old Fox Of The Ballyhoura M... ’afternoon Bob & 🧠 — my wife calls anything of this style ”falling down the stairs” music
	1:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Dance Of The Wily Old Fox Of The Ballyhoura M... That was terrific!
	1:28pm John L: ↳ Song: "The Dance Of The Wily Old Fox Of The Ballyhoura M... This is great. I'm sad to say I didn't follow Tippet's later career, but I'm gonna have to get this.
	1:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ sydnius @1:27 MsJazz calls anything of this style "time to go upstairs"
	1:33pm sydnius: reviews of ItWoP that make me laugh: ”a stereo recording of their first album”
	1:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Blue Form" by "Mu" Finally! I've always wondered what Mu sounded like.
	1:40pm sydnius: ↳ doctorjazz @1:28 but then she’s missing this amazing µ
	1:41pm Andrew in Toronto: Mu is slinky.
	1:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:39 Me too Franco.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ sydnius @1:40 I think she's OK with that (over the years, though, she's built up a tolerance for weirder and weirder music (in her mind), she's come with me to some really out shows, even enjoyed an occasional one).
	1:43pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ sydnius @1:40 Here`s the Mu Discogs link: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 1:46pm chresti: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:39 There's also an artist "MU" that did a song called "Paris Hilton" www.youtube.com...
	1:49pm John L: I work part time in a record store and a customer asked for a jazz recommendation. I played Eric Dolphy-Out To Lunch. He asked me to take it off because it made him nervous.
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ John L @1:49 It takes all kinds.
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @1:46 Thanks cresti.
	🥁 1:52pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:51 Some kinds I could live without.
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:59 What a great show! Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:53pm (Mr) Bill: A wonderful show. Very complex, in the best possible sense.
	1:53pm sydnius: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:51 I prefer ”there are all kinds”
	1:54pm spodiodi: great show! thanks, Bob
	1:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thx bb
	1:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:43 Mu was lead by Jeff Cotton who was in Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. Sure as shit doesn't sound like Trout Mask Replica!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Time flew by, thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:55pm listener james from westwood: Spiffo stuff, Bob—thanks!
	1:55pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:54 No kidding.
