	3:08pm Erica: Hi Larry and jazz cats!
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:07 The speed and fluidity of his playing are mind-bending
	3:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "St Louis Blues" by "Django Reinhardt" Electric Django, I believe (he didn't record electric guitar much, only later in his career).
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:08 Hey Erica!
	3:10pm Erica: It is WAY too hot today. Will be hotter tomorrow 🥵
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:10 Yes, brutal. Stay inside and hide with the air conditioning
	3:11pm northguineahills: Django Unchained! (would be a good name for some lost recordings of him going somewhat feree)...
	🥁 3:12pm WR: Hi Larry and the jazz inclined.
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:11 Hey NGH!
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @3:12 Hi WR!
	3:15pm northguineahills: actually cooler here in orlando than nyc. it's 83F here, 91F in NYC..mght be the first day since march 25 we don't get to 90 (been rainy and overcast all day).
	🥁 3:15pm WR: ↳ Song: "La Mer" by "Django Reinhardt" I assume that is Stéphane Grappelli on violin
	3:15pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Just checking in to say hey... cleaning up in the record room, waiting for the mail to come :)
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: Here in Central NJ it's 98 with a real feel of 112!
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Vincent The Soul Chef @3:15 Hey Vincent!
	3:16pm CalZone!: Dung Dong! Hello Larry!
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:16 Hey Cal!
	3:21pm Funky16Corners: This is the music on the escalator to heaven...
	3:21pm Ed F. Sleestak Jr.: Django never fails to lift my spirits. Sigh.
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Ed F. Sleestak Jr. @3:21 Good afternoon, Ed!
	3:22pm northguineahills: the national weather service at weather.gov sill uses gis tech from the late 90s, but it's still the most accurate weather forecast maps...
	3:23pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Nuages" by "Django Reinhardt" Nice, niiiiice. Nuages is the one with bits sounding like Melancholy Serenade, the Gleason theme.
	3:23pm Ed F. Sleestak Jr.: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:22 Hi Funky16Corners! Thanks for making beautiful radio this afternoon!
	3:26pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry and all
	3:27pm Erica: Hey coel.

	3:29pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:23 Hey SBP!
	3:30pm wenzo: 👏👏
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ wenzo @3:30 Howdy wenzo!
	3:31pm coelacanth∅: hi Erica!
	3:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:08 That was actually a bit early for electric Django (he gets such a trebly, "electric" sound, it's easy to confuse sometimes). But he played it at the end of his career a bit (to the dismay of his fans, a bit like the reaction of Dylan's fans who thought he sold out when he went electric).
	3:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Amanda" by "Duke Pearson" Cool Track! (you're in my neck of the woods, musically speaking).
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:33 Featuring one of my faves, James Spaulding on alto!
	3:36pm CalZone!: Love this track, and the LP, and Duke Pearson! Great producer and arranger too!
	3:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ CalZone! @3:36 Pearson wasn't a huge Blue Note star, but he's all over the sessions in the 1960s
	3:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "ESP (Extrasensory Perception)" by "Duke Pearson" Personnel: Donald Byrd: trumpet; James Spaulding: flute & alto saxophone; Joe Henderson: tenor saxophone; Duke Pearson; piano; Bob Cranshaw: bass; Mikey Roker: drums. Quite a band!
	3:44pm CalZone!: He was often the secret weapon. Produced the Electric Byrd album that I am nuts about. And Hutcherson/Land San Francisco LP.
	3:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:44 Indeed! Heavy group!
	🥁 3:49pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & groovers. Extra Special Pyjamas do it for me.
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:49 Hey Brian!
	🥁 3:52pm Brian in UK: Lost my avatar, Hegerty, yesterday, fell off her perch. Click on my profile & then her photograph & be afraid.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: RIP Hegerty...
	3:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Two and One" by "Hank Mobley" Another great band- BLUE MITCHELL, trumpet. JACKIE McLEAN, alto sax. HANK MOBLEY, tenor sax. JOHN HICKS, piano. BOB CRANSHAW, bass. BILLY HIGGINS, drums
	3:55pm Sem: Lovin' this set, LG. May the gods be gentle on Hegarty.
	3:55pm Erica: Hi Brian. Sorry to hear about your rooster. 🐓
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:55 It's consistently amazing the pool of musicians Blue Note had to work with in the 60s. Even the minor players were brilliant
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:55 Thanks Sem!
	3:56pm Sem: ↳ doctorjazz @3:55 Hearing that 5 by 5. Dr. J.
	3:57pm StringOFperils: Sounding breezy and beautiful, Larry!
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: I actually got to see Bob Cranshaw play once, I think backing Milt Jackson at a free concert at the Monmouth County Library
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: ↳ StringOFperils @3:57 Thanks String!
	🥁 3:58pm Brian in UK: ↳ Erica @3:55 Thanks Erica.
	4:04pm coelacanth∅: 'evening, Brian... sorry about your chook. what happened? just "old"? she looks so...Vibrant!
	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:55 She was a chicken with attitude!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Go Elvin!
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 Cranshaw was the regular bass player for Sonny Rollins for over 5 decades-got to see him in Rollin's band quite a few times! Sorry for your loss, BiUK!
	🥁 4:05pm WR: ↳ Song: "Zoltan" by "Larry Young" based on who has faved / when this track seems to be a low key favorite in WFMU land. I'm a Larry Young fan but only now learning of that Unity album. Drums – Elvin Jones Organ – Larry Young Recorded By [Recording By] – Rudy Van Gelder Tenor Saxophone – Joe Henderson Trumpet – Woody Shaw
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:05 One of the greatest Blue Note sessions and one of the greatest albums of the 1960s, period
	🥁 4:08pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:04 Good word vibrant. Ruled the roost but all good things come to an end, sadly. Does make a good photo though.
	🥁 4:11pm Brian in UK: Larry, Unity does not give an inch.
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:04 Thanks doc, you are back in the routine now I guess.
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:11 I remember picking it for the first time in the 80s and marveling at how it wasn't better known
	4:12pm coelacanth∅: quite beautiful really, in a chicken kind of way! rest in peace Hegarty.
	4:16pm JB: ↳ Brian in UK @3:52 @Brian RIP Hegerty the Turk. I am afraid, I'll admit.
	4:16pm JB: Hiya Larry
	4:18pm Erica: ↳ JB @4:16 Looks more like a rooster than a turkey. But still so sad
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:12 Back in the saddle, so to speak (in the office, big switch).
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:16 Hey JB!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: This one ringing any bells?
	4:23pm northguineahills: gotta run, Larry, thanks!
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:23 Take care, NGH!
	4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bring Down the Birds" by "Herbie Hancock" Don't know this Hancock-early for his electric funk stuff, but sounded like it would fit in.
	4:24pm JB: WATERMELON!!!!
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:23 The sample source for Dee-Lite's 'Groove Is In the Heart'
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:24 The OG!
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "End Title" by "Herbie Hancock" I found the Blowup sndtrk at turtles music right after my hs philosophy teacher showed it in the 11th grade...(then i went and found the complete Mwandishi recordings on warner..)
	4:26pm JB: ↳ Erica @4:18 Oh yeah, good point Erica. I like using "the Turk", which means you are now "Erica the Turk".
	4:26pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Watermelon Man" by "Herbie Hancock" I'm more familiar with Mongo Santamaria's version of this song myself.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:26 Herbie wrote it but Mongo had the hit
	4:26pm Erica: ↳ JB @4:26 What does that mean?
	4:27pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 Mongo also remade the tune in the 70s. I have the fusion remake on a CD.
	4:27pm JB: Kind of like "Alexander the Great" and "Pliny the Elder". Oh and not an insult!
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ JB @4:27 Okay. I kinda get it now.
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Watermelon Man" by "Herbie Hancock" Now THIS is familiar!
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Driftin'" by "Herbie Hancock" This track was in repeat mode, over and over when I first heard it, the coolest!
	4:32pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:30 obscure by dr jazz standards...
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:32 Herbie's 60s albums are solid all the way through
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:32 ?
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "Herbie Hancock" Another killer track!
	4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "Herbie Hancock" It's Funky, but the rhythm has a really interesting shift/shuffle to it, with that odd piano riff.
	4:39pm JB: I remember as a kid first hearing Herbie Hancock's music. It was that cool Rockit song/video. I was so surprised to learn that he is such a jazz legend.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 It's got a dark, slinky vibe to it.
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:39 That must have been a shock for a lot of people who first heard him via that album
	4:41pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Diggin' the Herbie goodness..!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:41 Hey Kip!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned at 5PM for Kip and Discotech Underground! wfmu.org...
	4:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Maiden Voyage" by "Herbie Hancock" All the "hits"!
	4:43pm Ed F. Sleestak Jr.: I hafta admit that that surreal Rockit video was my entry point into the music of Herbie Hancock. And the song’s herky jerkiness appealed to be as I loved stuff like Byrne & Eno’s My Life In The Bush of Ghosts. I was pleased as punch when I realized that the connecting thread was Bill Laswell.
	4:44pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 I can't think of other artists that had such a different song be a gateway to their bread and butter genre.
	4:46pm Discotech Underground: I sold off most of my jazz collection a while ago but I kept Maiden Voyage!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Mellow brilliance!
	4:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Maiden Voyage" by "Herbie Hancock" personnel: piano; Freddie Hubbard – trumpet; George Coleman – tenor saxophone; Ron Carter – bass; Tony Williams – drums (Man does Hubbard KILL IT on this!)
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Herbie was only 24 at this point!?!
	4:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Hurts me to hear you sold off the jazz, sob...
	4:49pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 Young and talented, he was.
	4:49pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:47 The epitome of mid 1960's Blue Note...
	4:50pm Discotech Underground: ↳ doctorjazz @4:48 The old story...I needed money...I made digital recordings of all of them, though, so I still have the music. I hadn't listened to them in a really long time.
	4:51pm doctorjazz: Loved the show, thanks Larry!
	4:51pm JB: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 hugs
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great show! Thanks Larry!
	4:52pm Discotech Underground: Plus the Blow Up soundtrack has the Yardbirds with Beck AND Page!
	4:53pm Vincent The Soul Chef: That Deee-Lite album turned thirty three years old today. Another tremendous session, sir <3
	4:53pm JB: That's funny, I only knew the original of Watermelon Man
	4:55pm Sem: Wonderful. Clicky-starred the episode. See you next time, Larry.
	4:55pm StringOFperils: Thanks Larry! Great show full of great stuff!
	4:56pm JB: Nice!! I may take PTO so I can listen next week uninterrupted
	4:56pm Max D: Enjoyed the show! Thank you, Larry!
	4:56pm dreamyandseedy: thanks Larry!
	4:56pm JB: ↳ Sem @4:55 Same here (clicky star). This is one for the archives
	🥁 4:56pm WR: Thank you! Larry!
	4:56pm Erica: Thanks for the jazz music to keep us cool during this hot summer Larry Thanks!
	4:57pm JB: Thanks so much Larry, great music, great show.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening! Thank you!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! take care
	4:58pm CalZone!: Really enjoyed the sets LG! 23 Skidoo!
	4:58pm doctorjazz: Added my clicky star to the episode!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys!
	5:00pm JB: Larry I just checked again, Discotech Underground's latest premium is a 60's garage compilation. Now I gotta get me hands on it

	🥁 4:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:55 She was a chicken with attitude!
	4:04pm Funky16Corners: Go Elvin!
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 Cranshaw was the regular bass player for Sonny Rollins for over 5 decades-got to see him in Rollin's band quite a few times! Sorry for your loss, BiUK!
	🥁 4:05pm WR: ↳ Song: "Zoltan" by "Larry Young" based on who has faved / when this track seems to be a low key favorite in WFMU land. I'm a Larry Young fan but only now learning of that Unity album. Drums – Elvin Jones Organ – Larry Young Recorded By [Recording By] – Rudy Van Gelder Tenor Saxophone – Joe Henderson Trumpet – Woody Shaw
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:05 One of the greatest Blue Note sessions and one of the greatest albums of the 1960s, period
	🥁 4:08pm Brian in UK: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:04 Good word vibrant. Ruled the roost but all good things come to an end, sadly. Does make a good photo though.
	🥁 4:11pm Brian in UK: Larry, Unity does not give an inch.
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @4:04 Thanks doc, you are back in the routine now I guess.
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @4:11 I remember picking it for the first time in the 80s and marveling at how it wasn't better known
	4:12pm coelacanth∅: quite beautiful really, in a chicken kind of way! rest in peace Hegarty.
	4:16pm JB: ↳ Brian in UK @3:52 @Brian RIP Hegerty the Turk. I am afraid, I'll admit.
	4:16pm JB: Hiya Larry
	4:18pm Erica: ↳ JB @4:16 Looks more like a rooster than a turkey. But still so sad
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @4:12 Back in the saddle, so to speak (in the office, big switch).
	4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:16 Hey JB!
	4:22pm Funky16Corners: This one ringing any bells?
	4:23pm northguineahills: gotta run, Larry, thanks!
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @4:23 Take care, NGH!
	4:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bring Down the Birds" by "Herbie Hancock" Don't know this Hancock-early for his electric funk stuff, but sounded like it would fit in.
	4:24pm JB: WATERMELON!!!!
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:23 The sample source for Dee-Lite's 'Groove Is In the Heart'
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:24 The OG!
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "End Title" by "Herbie Hancock" I found the Blowup sndtrk at turtles music right after my hs philosophy teacher showed it in the 11th grade...(then i went and found the complete Mwandishi recordings on warner..)
	4:26pm JB: ↳ Erica @4:18 Oh yeah, good point Erica. I like using "the Turk", which means you are now "Erica the Turk".
	4:26pm Erica: ↳ Song: "Watermelon Man" by "Herbie Hancock" I'm more familiar with Mongo Santamaria's version of this song myself.
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:26 Herbie wrote it but Mongo had the hit
	4:26pm Erica: ↳ JB @4:26 What does that mean?
	4:27pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:26 Mongo also remade the tune in the 70s. I have the fusion remake on a CD.
	4:27pm JB: Kind of like "Alexander the Great" and "Pliny the Elder". Oh and not an insult!
	4:28pm Erica: ↳ JB @4:27 Okay. I kinda get it now.
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Watermelon Man" by "Herbie Hancock" Now THIS is familiar!
	4:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Driftin'" by "Herbie Hancock" This track was in repeat mode, over and over when I first heard it, the coolest!
	4:32pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @4:30 obscure by dr jazz standards...
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:32 Herbie's 60s albums are solid all the way through
	4:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @4:32 ?
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "Herbie Hancock" Another killer track!
	4:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "Herbie Hancock" It's Funky, but the rhythm has a really interesting shift/shuffle to it, with that odd piano riff.
	4:39pm JB: I remember as a kid first hearing Herbie Hancock's music. It was that cool Rockit song/video. I was so surprised to learn that he is such a jazz legend.
	4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:39 It's got a dark, slinky vibe to it.
	4:40pm Funky16Corners: ↳ JB @4:39 That must have been a shock for a lot of people who first heard him via that album
	4:41pm Discotech Underground: Hey Larry! Diggin' the Herbie goodness..!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:41 Hey Kip!
	4:42pm Funky16Corners: Stay tuned at 5PM for Kip and Discotech Underground! wfmu.org...
	4:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Maiden Voyage" by "Herbie Hancock" All the "hits"!
	4:43pm Ed F. Sleestak Jr.: I hafta admit that that surreal Rockit video was my entry point into the music of Herbie Hancock. And the song’s herky jerkiness appealed to be as I loved stuff like Byrne & Eno’s My Life In The Bush of Ghosts. I was pleased as punch when I realized that the connecting thread was Bill Laswell.
	4:44pm JB: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:40 I can't think of other artists that had such a different song be a gateway to their bread and butter genre.
	4:46pm Discotech Underground: I sold off most of my jazz collection a while ago but I kept Maiden Voyage!
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Mellow brilliance!
	4:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Maiden Voyage" by "Herbie Hancock" personnel: piano; Freddie Hubbard – trumpet; George Coleman – tenor saxophone; Ron Carter – bass; Tony Williams – drums (Man does Hubbard KILL IT on this!)
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: Herbie was only 24 at this point!?!
	4:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:46 Hurts me to hear you sold off the jazz, sob...
	4:49pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:48 Young and talented, he was.
	4:49pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:47 The epitome of mid 1960's Blue Note...
	4:50pm Discotech Underground: ↳ doctorjazz @4:48 The old story...I needed money...I made digital recordings of all of them, though, so I still have the music. I hadn't listened to them in a really long time.
	4:51pm doctorjazz: Loved the show, thanks Larry!
	4:51pm JB: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:50 hugs
	4:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What another great show! Thanks Larry!
