	9:09pm Jack Mello: haha...fat fingers, coelacanthø!
	9:10pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:08 sho!, you shole from shoal!
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + yas +
	9:11pm Jack Mello: ↳ northguineahills @9:08 often considered a lesser early-70s electric miles LP, but it has a special place in my heart.
	9:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Jack Mello @9:11 literally my favorite...
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like anything not Matterhorn is 'lesser' Alps maybe ?...
	9:13pm tom tom the pipers son: posted this on another play list, but heck, here goes... saw max roach speak at a concert, he said when miles davis replaces dizzy gillespie in parkes band they made him play with a mute and thats how he started using one ... lemonade from lemons
	9:13pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "Great Expectations" by "Miles Davis" Always loved this track. Got to see "Miles from India" at Town Hall several years ago -- only chance I ever got to see Pete Cosey play
	9:13pm northguineahills: at the pharmacy, the tech asked me, "is stereolab a band, and, what do they sound like?". 10 minutes later we were talking about ODB and GZA (a day in the life)
	9:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:13 davis couldn't play fast enough
	9:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:13 Pete Cosey got chosen b/c hendrix missed a meeting, and died that weekend (not a bad second choice).
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Jack Mello @9:11 it's in the upper echelon of Miles albums for me
	9:18pm ami ad: Hello jakegould.
	9:18pm northguineahills: glad life dislocated my shoulder, put me to thr doctor, to miss my job interview. ended at a cafe where i talked to the bartender about vashti bunyan, met a guy making a flyer about a dark ambient night for the weekend, and found a sri lankan food truck. I'll get feeling back in those three fingers in a few weeks...
	9:21pm Jack Mello: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:17 the players on it is insane
	9:21pm Robm: hello fellow listeners
	9:22pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @9:18 yikes ngh!
	9:22pm Jack Mello: yeah, so welcome all...gonna take a break from my usual 90s house music! lots of long jazz and improv jams, get you in the mood for 4th of July Eve!
	9:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:22 (i put my shoulder back into joint myself, pinched my radial nerve [typing is suddenly hard).
	9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:18 the proverbial silver lining
	9:24pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:17 Big Fun/On the Corner > Jack Johnson Sessions > everything else (uhhhh, yep, that's where i stand w/ miles..)
	9:24pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:23 sorry you had to miss your interview
	9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:23 I rarely get to interact w/ interesting people (male or female), and good food is rare too!
	9:25pm Carmichael: You missed your job interview?
	9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:25 i identify with that...
	9:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:24 I called at 9am (interview at 3pm) saying I was going to the doctor, didn't think i'd be back by noon, but, I was still in a lot of pain and hadn't slept, and said, fuck it, i'm going research ChatGPT plugins for Python GIS (for jon perposes), and read about Blue Note, Conny Plank, Tonga contemporary, art, sudanese funk, and throbbing gristle, instead). The potential employer seemed understanding and said they would reach out Wednesday morning to reschedule
	9:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ntozake Shange" by "Wadada Leo Smith and Orange W... yes!
	9:32pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:30 <corrections> job purposes...(and a lot more)...
	9:32pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:30 hope they do NGH for your sake
	9:33pm ami ad: this is some crunchy stuff, yum.
	9:33pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "Ntozake Shange" by "Wadada Leo Smith and Orange W... Jeez I gotta get this
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:33 yep, it has that little wadada touch (that high pitched sine wave?)
	9:39pm Jack Mello: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:33 it's really good, digital only though, I believe
	9:40pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Jack Mello @9:39 Yup. Will have to burn it tomorrow
	9:41pm tom tom the pipers son: @ jack mello i seemto remember ntozake shange's name pronounced differently with "e" enunciated on both first last/ names famous playwright who i believe wrote "for colored girls"
	9:41pm Erik-O-Vert (VT): Oh - I believe upon Miles Davis’: “Big Fun” 2xCD reissue series back around the millennial changeover, the critics and fans alike Re-assessed the “electric Miles” era - and Big Fun was one of the newly championed releases ! - the “Black Magus” 2xCD issue was the one that tore people’s heads-off !?
	9:42pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:41 correct on "for colored girls..." idk about pronunciation
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:40 too bad the label, Vinyl on Demand, no longer exists...
	9:44pm Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 I cannot give up materiality. Too many fried drives
	9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:42 did you find or try out the calendula balm? right this was you
	9:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:42 obied that one...
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:24 i couldn't narrow it down that far
	9:48pm Jack Mello: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:41 thanks, tom. I had no idea, took a guess, appreciate the clarification
	9:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 was me! not yet, but have it noted
	9:51pm spodiodi: greetings, Jack Mello and all. enjoying the show!
	9:51pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @9:51 hey, I'm part of 'all'! 😊
	9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:49 you may want to research and see how you can make it yourself. friend who made it for me didn't have a lab or anything, just made it in her apartment
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:24 ngh i love bitches brew, kind of blue, nefertiti, pangaea, agharta, big fun, on the corner, sketches of spain, filles de kilimanjaro, dark magus... i don't know what the popular or critical opinion is of most of these i admit i haven't heard much of Jack Johnson sessions
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: Ahoy spodiodi
	9:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:53 I did see that fresh calendula can be mail ordered. so I figured I could DIY somehow.
	9:55pm Kat in the chat: I do like this Mello mood tonight!
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: calendula's not hard to grow
	9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:54 for my 25th b-day, a former partner of mine, got me big fun and on the corner box sets w/ her BAM membership (bang on the can all-star fest was also involved). I was into the miles, but just passively. Those box sets changed my life (she didn't know i'd be into it, but, there's a reason I'm stll friends w/ her).
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:55 forget what the "body" of the balm was made of, but it was waxy
	9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Third Bleed" by "Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Cha... greg tate, too early man (met him through a mutual friend, once).
	9:58pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:57 (by the time I was 26, i pretty much had the whole miles back catalog).
	9:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:56 I don't have an outdoor spot and prob not enough light in the apartment, maybe though?
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: many of the '50s Miles albums i have never heard
	10:00pm Mark: Agree with above comment on Black Magus -very good but Big Fun was exceptional!! No one will ever come close to Miles Davis!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:59 they definitely like sun
	10:01pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:59 actually, those took a while to track down...
	10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:54 remember hearing interesting bits of get up with it, a compilation album w/ miles davis on organ for some. was hard to find and expensive back in the day
	10:01pm northguineahills: i shared my eliane radique tee-shirt design w/ someone in the wild (they asked what I was doing). it's a work in progress...
	10:01pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "The Third Bleed" by "Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Cha... Fine stuff, Jack
	10:02pm northguineahills: I once mixed miles' "willie nelson" w/ Willie Nelson while djing at a club (on my dj friend got it).
	10:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any & all Miles until maybe quite late when he was diminished in powers / when he 'came back' ? : First trying to stay 'hip' with hiphop - & then finally revisiting the past perfomatively / as a gesture before he was gone.
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:01 i have that one, a bit of a mishmash! but i definitely like some of it
	10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 oh, good to know...
	10:05pm Dean: Just love Lacy. Wish he were still around among us.
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:05 yep...
	10:07pm Mark: Also Jack-It is essential you check out "Inventions & Dimensions" Herbie Hancock on Blue Note 1963. Paul Chambers-bass; Willie Bobo-drums, timbales; Osvaldo Martinez-congas, bongos, guiro, finger cymbals. Amazing!!
	10:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interests me much how Electric Miles for some time seemed to be its own Island Genre - not like other Fusion really - not Psychedelic Rawk ...how 'Bitches Brew' seemed monumental ...& yet still a bit of an Orphan like that. Then into the era of listening to FMU (for me I mean) especially starting to realize that either - wasn't true - or became less true finally, That is - other types of Fusing Jazz & Rawk than what we tended to think of Fusion as in the 70s became apparent & evident...
	10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: @ kat in chat stuff on line about how to make calendula salve, you need calendula oil
	10:10pm chresti: Hi Jack Mello show!
	10:10pm N'Lo: This steam is hot and blows cool! 🌬️
	10:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mark @10:07 Intrigued.
	10:10pm Jack Mello: ↳ Mark @10:07 thanks for the tip, and for listening, mark. will do.
	10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:09 adding to notes
	10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: @ dj jack mello. think you made the right call on lengthy stuff tonight, its a kinda stretching out pre- holiday sort of vibe
	10:19pm N'Lo: Omg loving la Bastarda! Swooning!
	10:24pm N'Lo: Agreed @tom Tom the pipers son! Plus diving into this apparently multicultural mix is a delight of new names to me.
	10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:12 you're in philly, right? ny times had a piece on sandwiches today and mentioned middle child in philly... are you familiar?
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ N'Lo @10:24 yes
	10:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 I haven't been there yet! I've only been here a couple months now. Friend recommended it tho
	10:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Good soundtrack for a rainy, steamy, foggy, misty night.
	10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:26 showed a nice blueberry jam and turkey on ciabatta sandwich, but didn't say how much it cost.... 20 bucks?
	10:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:29 seems like a lot for a sammich
	10:31pm Jack Mello: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 thanks, tom! appreciate it
	10:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:30 just a sarcastic guess...
	10:34pm Mark: a couple more Miles that just really surprise you. "On the Corner" and "Water Babies". The beauty of Miles was always leaving you in the dust. He was so far ahead of any aficionado or avid fan of his. It happened to me 4 or 5 times. He was a great painter musically. I don't think the man ever looked back. It's like okay I'm not going to play that for you. I'm playing this! and of course it was genius. His last days/live concerts in Germany were heartbreaking! you know when he covered Cindy Lauper and stuff. Even though his rendition was extremely good!
	10:34pm Erik-O-Vert: 🙏for Correction:”Dark Magus”! For me right up there with Agharta. Don’t sleep on “Jack Johnson”! He will definitely knock you into kingdom come! It fits with all the others you already love. Personally speaking, it was my gateway electric Miles album. For me, Way more condensed and much funner than “Bitches Brew”. Still haven’t heard the JJ box set version. Only the original 2 side long epics! I believe Sonny Sharrock is featured as one of the stellar on 🔥 guitarists in one of the LorR channels. Originally uncredited for some reason (contractual label lending?) Tops! Thanks ALL, fer sharing your thoughts. Ps: loving this radio 📻 tonight !
	10:41pm steveo: ↳ Song: "Sensory Crossing" by "Ben Vince" Much enjoying
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mark @10:34 - wurd.
	10:44pm RISKY: Get em Jack, Get em!
	10:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ RISKY @10:44 haha, thx risky!
	10:45pm RISKY: Loving this pulser
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah absolutely loving this Playlist. Anybody didn't know we get a good amount of the adventurous & contempo Jazzes on Sunday A.M.'s on 'Destination Out' on the DrummerStream. & after that the Stork Club there...
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: damn. more Miles conversation i missed and i got to go to work now. i'll revisit the archives... water babies? never heard it but WILL! Thanks! Thanks Jack! always a pleasure it is. 'night y'all
	10:46pm Erik-O-Vert: Lastly - I think we left out Miles’ magnificent “in a silent way” album. Ouch. So dang unique and exceptional at the time. Again, prefer it to “Brew”.
	10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:46 g'nite!
	10:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Reaction-Formation (radio edit)" by "BRACE" Ground Zero's "Consume Red" would go nice w/ this...
	10:48pm SeanG: hey jack! always dig yr fill-ins
	10:48pm Jack Mello: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:45 thx, rabbit. :)
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:43 bonita ortografía de palabra!
	10:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @10:46 Def. The box set (4CDs?) of Silent Way absolutely opened my head up in a few ways. One being that the transition from earlier to Electric was not so sudden with BitchesBrew. & I imagine all the boxes for all his albums are rich like that. Like - the original albums as we got them were only the abbreviated versions...
	10:49pm Jack Mello: ↳ SeanG @10:48 thanks, Sean. a little different vibe tonight
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:49 ...also of course with SilentWay - Zawinul invented Ambient maybe more than Eno. &tc.
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:49 that one is a treasure as well...
	10:52pm Carmichael: Ok, just rubbed 4 racks of ribs for tomorrow. Ready to rock. Calendula is called pot marigold out here, grows everywhere.
	10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Lucifer (The New Sun)" by "EABS" interesting percussion...
	10:53pm Erik-O-Vert: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:49 Indeed, would so love to tackle most of those “extended single albums” box sets! - unfortunately, haven’t prioritized that… my loss.
	10:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @10:53 I had that Columbia box with all his Gil Evans colabs - spine was all brass like a trumpet ! ...but hadda sell it try & make rent. Before this era one of course just rips files anyhow... Well - that all still exists...
	10:57pm N'Lo: Urgh luvvvvvvvvvv ! (Says the gal voted most likely to be playing “what is that music? Is there an alarm going off?”) at work. So many favorites tonight!
	10:57pm chresti: have a friend visiting...
	10:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:55 ...working CD Stores in Santa Barbara like that would make ends meet there. As I tried to buy everything also...
	10:58pm Jack Mello: ↳ N'Lo @10:57 thank you, N'Lo!
	10:59pm Mark: and Jack one more if I may. I'm not a fan of Charles Lloyd however his live concert at Monterey is exceptional. It's simply called "Forest Flower Charles Lloyd at Monterey" September 1966. Must!
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: re: london, i believe derek bailey called his playing non- idiomatic jazz
	11:10pm Gary: Great music all night!
	11:13pm Jack Mello: ↳ Gary @11:10 thank you, gary. much appreciated.
	11:14pm Carmichael: I suddenly thought of John Mayall’s California …
	11:23pm Mark: to Rabbit63-Zawinul was just unreal. When he left Adderly's band and formed Weather Report!! I was lucky enough to see them live in Kansas City-at the train station of all places Union Station had a small club then. But here's the weird thing I bought that first album a year or so ago and I was totally underwhelmed. I either through it away or something.
	11:28pm Mark: Jack-amazing music you are playing!! You should be paid more!
	11:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Waaju" by "Waaju" sax has nice warm tone
	11:34pm Jack Mello: ↳ Mark @11:28 haha...nah, we spin records for the love it! but thanks for the kind words.
	11:35pm Carmichael: Thanks Jack, gotta dip
	11:36pm Erik-O-Vert: ↳ Mark @10:59 Yes, love that Charles Lloyd! & many of his latter albums are challenging and wonderful. Lucky enough to have seen in-person twice. Stellar experiences as performer/composer/improviser alive & direct.
	11:41pm Erik-O-Vert: ↳ Jack Mello @11:34 Will gladly revisit this via archives! & definitely hope to hear more of this mode with you in future (even if it isn’t your usual mode of spinning) - it’s stellar listening for these ears👂Grazzzzzie ! 🙏 😃
	11:42pm rw: Perfect radio. Thanks, man.
	11:43pm Slamtonio: great show Jack. Ive been listening transfixed
	11:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @11:41 thank you for listening, Erik, appreciate it,
	11:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ rw @11:42 haha...not sure about "perfect" but thx!
	11:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ Slamtonio @11:43 yr too kind, Slammer! thx
	11:47pm Jack Mello: marvin gaye vibes
	11:51pm ami ad: Thank you, DJ. Crew.
	11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Lonely Fire" by "Miles Davis" ah, nice touch, full circle.... thx for the fine show, dj jack mello something funny happening on stream
	11:54pm Todd76Pct: Hello all, and thanks for the great sets, Jack! You’re a musical omnivore fill-in king!
	11:55pm northguineahills: thanks, Jack it was fun! come back sooner rather than later!
	11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Jack. Have a nice summer!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY DJ JM ~
	11:59pm rw: For me, for tonight, perfect. Enjoy your time off! Looking fwd to the future.
	4:52am Aidan: ↳ Song: "Reaction-Formation (radio edit)" by "BRACE" Nice show, thanks for playing BRACE and good to have fellow Bristolians Animal Magic in the mix...

	9:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:13 davis couldn't play fast enough
	9:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:13 Pete Cosey got chosen b/c hendrix missed a meeting, and died that weekend (not a bad second choice).
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Jack Mello @9:11 it's in the upper echelon of Miles albums for me
	9:18pm ami ad: Hello jakegould.
	9:18pm northguineahills: glad life dislocated my shoulder, put me to thr doctor, to miss my job interview. ended at a cafe where i talked to the bartender about vashti bunyan, met a guy making a flyer about a dark ambient night for the weekend, and found a sri lankan food truck. I'll get feeling back in those three fingers in a few weeks...
	9:21pm Jack Mello: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:17 the players on it is insane
	9:21pm Robm: hello fellow listeners
	9:22pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @9:18 yikes ngh!
	9:22pm Jack Mello: yeah, so welcome all...gonna take a break from my usual 90s house music! lots of long jazz and improv jams, get you in the mood for 4th of July Eve!
	9:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:22 (i put my shoulder back into joint myself, pinched my radial nerve [typing is suddenly hard).
	9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:18 the proverbial silver lining
	9:24pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:17 Big Fun/On the Corner > Jack Johnson Sessions > everything else (uhhhh, yep, that's where i stand w/ miles..)
	9:24pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:23 sorry you had to miss your interview
	9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:23 I rarely get to interact w/ interesting people (male or female), and good food is rare too!
	9:25pm Carmichael: You missed your job interview?
	9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:25 i identify with that...
	9:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:24 I called at 9am (interview at 3pm) saying I was going to the doctor, didn't think i'd be back by noon, but, I was still in a lot of pain and hadn't slept, and said, fuck it, i'm going research ChatGPT plugins for Python GIS (for jon perposes), and read about Blue Note, Conny Plank, Tonga contemporary, art, sudanese funk, and throbbing gristle, instead). The potential employer seemed understanding and said they would reach out Wednesday morning to reschedule
	9:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ntozake Shange" by "Wadada Leo Smith and Orange W... yes!
	9:32pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:30 <corrections> job purposes...(and a lot more)...
	9:32pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:30 hope they do NGH for your sake
	9:33pm ami ad: this is some crunchy stuff, yum.
	9:33pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "Ntozake Shange" by "Wadada Leo Smith and Orange W... Jeez I gotta get this
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:33 yep, it has that little wadada touch (that high pitched sine wave?)
	9:39pm Jack Mello: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:33 it's really good, digital only though, I believe
	9:40pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Jack Mello @9:39 Yup. Will have to burn it tomorrow
	9:41pm tom tom the pipers son: @ jack mello i seemto remember ntozake shange's name pronounced differently with "e" enunciated on both first last/ names famous playwright who i believe wrote "for colored girls"
	9:41pm Erik-O-Vert (VT): Oh - I believe upon Miles Davis’: “Big Fun” 2xCD reissue series back around the millennial changeover, the critics and fans alike Re-assessed the “electric Miles” era - and Big Fun was one of the newly championed releases ! - the “Black Magus” 2xCD issue was the one that tore people’s heads-off !?
	9:42pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:41 correct on "for colored girls..." idk about pronunciation
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:40 too bad the label, Vinyl on Demand, no longer exists...
	9:44pm Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 I cannot give up materiality. Too many fried drives
	9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:42 did you find or try out the calendula balm? right this was you
	9:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:42 obied that one...
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:24 i couldn't narrow it down that far
	9:48pm Jack Mello: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:41 thanks, tom. I had no idea, took a guess, appreciate the clarification
	9:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 was me! not yet, but have it noted
	9:51pm spodiodi: greetings, Jack Mello and all. enjoying the show!
	9:51pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @9:51 hey, I'm part of 'all'! 😊
	9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:49 you may want to research and see how you can make it yourself. friend who made it for me didn't have a lab or anything, just made it in her apartment
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:24 ngh i love bitches brew, kind of blue, nefertiti, pangaea, agharta, big fun, on the corner, sketches of spain, filles de kilimanjaro, dark magus... i don't know what the popular or critical opinion is of most of these i admit i haven't heard much of Jack Johnson sessions
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: Ahoy spodiodi
	9:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:53 I did see that fresh calendula can be mail ordered. so I figured I could DIY somehow.
	9:55pm Kat in the chat: I do like this Mello mood tonight!
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: calendula's not hard to grow
	9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:54 for my 25th b-day, a former partner of mine, got me big fun and on the corner box sets w/ her BAM membership (bang on the can all-star fest was also involved). I was into the miles, but just passively. Those box sets changed my life (she didn't know i'd be into it, but, there's a reason I'm stll friends w/ her).
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:55 forget what the "body" of the balm was made of, but it was waxy
	9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Third Bleed" by "Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Cha... greg tate, too early man (met him through a mutual friend, once).
	9:58pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:57 (by the time I was 26, i pretty much had the whole miles back catalog).
	9:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:56 I don't have an outdoor spot and prob not enough light in the apartment, maybe though?
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: many of the '50s Miles albums i have never heard
	10:00pm Mark: Agree with above comment on Black Magus -very good but Big Fun was exceptional!! No one will ever come close to Miles Davis!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:59 they definitely like sun
	10:01pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:59 actually, those took a while to track down...
	10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:54 remember hearing interesting bits of get up with it, a compilation album w/ miles davis on organ for some. was hard to find and expensive back in the day
	10:01pm northguineahills: i shared my eliane radique tee-shirt design w/ someone in the wild (they asked what I was doing). it's a work in progress...
	10:01pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "The Third Bleed" by "Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Cha... Fine stuff, Jack
	10:02pm northguineahills: I once mixed miles' "willie nelson" w/ Willie Nelson while djing at a club (on my dj friend got it).
	10:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any & all Miles until maybe quite late when he was diminished in powers / when he 'came back' ? : First trying to stay 'hip' with hiphop - & then finally revisiting the past perfomatively / as a gesture before he was gone.
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:01 i have that one, a bit of a mishmash! but i definitely like some of it
	10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 oh, good to know...
	10:05pm Dean: Just love Lacy. Wish he were still around among us.
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:05 yep...
	10:07pm Mark: Also Jack-It is essential you check out "Inventions & Dimensions" Herbie Hancock on Blue Note 1963. Paul Chambers-bass; Willie Bobo-drums, timbales; Osvaldo Martinez-congas, bongos, guiro, finger cymbals. Amazing!!
	10:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interests me much how Electric Miles for some time seemed to be its own Island Genre - not like other Fusion really - not Psychedelic Rawk ...how 'Bitches Brew' seemed monumental ...& yet still a bit of an Orphan like that. Then into the era of listening to FMU (for me I mean) especially starting to realize that either - wasn't true - or became less true finally, That is - other types of Fusing Jazz & Rawk than what we tended to think of Fusion as in the 70s became apparent & evident...
	10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: @ kat in chat stuff on line about how to make calendula salve, you need calendula oil
	10:10pm chresti: Hi Jack Mello show!
	10:10pm N'Lo: This steam is hot and blows cool! 🌬️
	10:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mark @10:07 Intrigued.
	10:10pm Jack Mello: ↳ Mark @10:07 thanks for the tip, and for listening, mark. will do.
	10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:09 adding to notes
	10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: @ dj jack mello. think you made the right call on lengthy stuff tonight, its a kinda stretching out pre- holiday sort of vibe
	10:19pm N'Lo: Omg loving la Bastarda! Swooning!
	10:24pm N'Lo: Agreed @tom Tom the pipers son! Plus diving into this apparently multicultural mix is a delight of new names to me.
	10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:12 you're in philly, right? ny times had a piece on sandwiches today and mentioned middle child in philly... are you familiar?
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ N'Lo @10:24 yes
	10:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 I haven't been there yet! I've only been here a couple months now. Friend recommended it tho
	10:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jack. Good soundtrack for a rainy, steamy, foggy, misty night.
	10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:26 showed a nice blueberry jam and turkey on ciabatta sandwich, but didn't say how much it cost.... 20 bucks?
	10:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:29 seems like a lot for a sammich
	10:31pm Jack Mello: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 thanks, tom! appreciate it
	10:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:30 just a sarcastic guess...
	10:34pm Mark: a couple more Miles that just really surprise you. "On the Corner" and "Water Babies". The beauty of Miles was always leaving you in the dust. He was so far ahead of any aficionado or avid fan of his. It happened to me 4 or 5 times. He was a great painter musically. I don't think the man ever looked back. It's like okay I'm not going to play that for you. I'm playing this! and of course it was genius. His last days/live concerts in Germany were heartbreaking! you know when he covered Cindy Lauper and stuff. Even though his rendition was extremely good!
	10:34pm Erik-O-Vert: 🙏for Correction:”Dark Magus”! For me right up there with Agharta. Don’t sleep on “Jack Johnson”! He will definitely knock you into kingdom come! It fits with all the others you already love. Personally speaking, it was my gateway electric Miles album. For me, Way more condensed and much funner than “Bitches Brew”. Still haven’t heard the JJ box set version. Only the original 2 side long epics! I believe Sonny Sharrock is featured as one of the stellar on 🔥 guitarists in one of the LorR channels. Originally uncredited for some reason (contractual label lending?) Tops! Thanks ALL, fer sharing your thoughts. Ps: loving this radio 📻 tonight !
	10:41pm steveo: ↳ Song: "Sensory Crossing" by "Ben Vince" Much enjoying
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mark @10:34 - wurd.
	10:44pm RISKY: Get em Jack, Get em!
	10:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ RISKY @10:44 haha, thx risky!
	10:45pm RISKY: Loving this pulser
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah absolutely loving this Playlist. Anybody didn't know we get a good amount of the adventurous & contempo Jazzes on Sunday A.M.'s on 'Destination Out' on the DrummerStream. & after that the Stork Club there...
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: damn. more Miles conversation i missed and i got to go to work now. i'll revisit the archives... water babies? never heard it but WILL! Thanks! Thanks Jack! always a pleasure it is. 'night y'all
	10:46pm Erik-O-Vert: Lastly - I think we left out Miles’ magnificent “in a silent way” album. Ouch. So dang unique and exceptional at the time. Again, prefer it to “Brew”.
	10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:46 g'nite!
	10:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Reaction-Formation (radio edit)" by "BRACE" Ground Zero's "Consume Red" would go nice w/ this...
	10:48pm SeanG: hey jack! always dig yr fill-ins
	10:48pm Jack Mello: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:45 thx, rabbit. :)
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:43 bonita ortografía de palabra!
	10:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @10:46 Def. The box set (4CDs?) of Silent Way absolutely opened my head up in a few ways. One being that the transition from earlier to Electric was not so sudden with BitchesBrew. & I imagine all the boxes for all his albums are rich like that. Like - the original albums as we got them were only the abbreviated versions...
	10:49pm Jack Mello: ↳ SeanG @10:48 thanks, Sean. a little different vibe tonight
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:49 ...also of course with SilentWay - Zawinul invented Ambient maybe more than Eno. &tc.
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:49 that one is a treasure as well...
	10:52pm Carmichael: Ok, just rubbed 4 racks of ribs for tomorrow. Ready to rock. Calendula is called pot marigold out here, grows everywhere.
	10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Lucifer (The New Sun)" by "EABS" interesting percussion...
	10:53pm Erik-O-Vert: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:49 Indeed, would so love to tackle most of those “extended single albums” box sets! - unfortunately, haven’t prioritized that… my loss.
	10:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @10:53 I had that Columbia box with all his Gil Evans colabs - spine was all brass like a trumpet ! ...but hadda sell it try & make rent. Before this era one of course just rips files anyhow... Well - that all still exists...
	10:57pm N'Lo: Urgh luvvvvvvvvvv ! (Says the gal voted most likely to be playing “what is that music? Is there an alarm going off?”) at work. So many favorites tonight!
	10:57pm chresti: have a friend visiting...
	10:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:55 ...working CD Stores in Santa Barbara like that would make ends meet there. As I tried to buy everything also...
	10:58pm Jack Mello: ↳ N'Lo @10:57 thank you, N'Lo!
	10:59pm Mark: and Jack one more if I may. I'm not a fan of Charles Lloyd however his live concert at Monterey is exceptional. It's simply called "Forest Flower Charles Lloyd at Monterey" September 1966. Must!
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: re: london, i believe derek bailey called his playing non- idiomatic jazz
	11:10pm Gary: Great music all night!
	11:13pm Jack Mello: ↳ Gary @11:10 thank you, gary. much appreciated.
	11:14pm Carmichael: I suddenly thought of John Mayall’s California …
	11:23pm Mark: to Rabbit63-Zawinul was just unreal. When he left Adderly's band and formed Weather Report!! I was lucky enough to see them live in Kansas City-at the train station of all places Union Station had a small club then. But here's the weird thing I bought that first album a year or so ago and I was totally underwhelmed. I either through it away or something.
	11:28pm Mark: Jack-amazing music you are playing!! You should be paid more!
	11:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Waaju" by "Waaju" sax has nice warm tone
	11:34pm Jack Mello: ↳ Mark @11:28 haha...nah, we spin records for the love it! but thanks for the kind words.
	11:35pm Carmichael: Thanks Jack, gotta dip
	11:36pm Erik-O-Vert: ↳ Mark @10:59 Yes, love that Charles Lloyd! & many of his latter albums are challenging and wonderful. Lucky enough to have seen in-person twice. Stellar experiences as performer/composer/improviser alive & direct.
	11:41pm Erik-O-Vert: ↳ Jack Mello @11:34 Will gladly revisit this via archives! & definitely hope to hear more of this mode with you in future (even if it isn’t your usual mode of spinning) - it’s stellar listening for these ears👂Grazzzzzie ! 🙏 😃
	11:42pm rw: Perfect radio. Thanks, man.
	11:43pm Slamtonio: great show Jack. Ive been listening transfixed
	11:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @11:41 thank you for listening, Erik, appreciate it,
	11:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ rw @11:42 haha...not sure about "perfect" but thx!
	11:45pm Jack Mello: ↳ Slamtonio @11:43 yr too kind, Slammer! thx
	11:47pm Jack Mello: marvin gaye vibes
	11:51pm ami ad: Thank you, DJ. Crew.
	11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Lonely Fire" by "Miles Davis" ah, nice touch, full circle.... thx for the fine show, dj jack mello something funny happening on stream
	11:54pm Todd76Pct: Hello all, and thanks for the great sets, Jack! You’re a musical omnivore fill-in king!
	11:55pm northguineahills: thanks, Jack it was fun! come back sooner rather than later!
	11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Jack. Have a nice summer!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY DJ JM ~
	11:59pm rw: For me, for tonight, perfect. Enjoy your time off! Looking fwd to the future.
	4:52am Aidan: ↳ Song: "Reaction-Formation (radio edit)" by "BRACE" Nice show, thanks for playing BRACE and good to have fellow Bristolians Animal Magic in the mix...
