Listener comments!
	7:04pm Observations: we are LIVE
	7:10pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Berimbau" by "Agustín Pereyra Lucena" "Pereyra Lucena’s self-titled debut album from 1970. One of the outstanding South American guitarists, Agustin Pereyra Lucena commanded a unique position in Latin music history. He hailed from Buenos Aires, but was obsessed with the music of Brazil."
	🥁 7:18pm WR: Hello David, just connected, sounds good.
	7:19pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Unity Live 1968" by "Philip Cohran And The Artist... feat. Pete Cosey on guitar
	7:19pm Observations: Greetings 👋😎🙏
	🥁 7:24pm WR: The black,white and blue episode last week is an outstanding selection. Have listened to it three time already. It's an Observations of Deviance USA Roots Music compilation.
	7:25pm Observations: ↳ WR @7:24 Thanks! I put a lot of time/thought/effort into it.
	7:32pm Listener Gregory: Just turned on the show and wondered what the hell I had wandered into (Meditation). Hello, David and all the Deevs.
	7:38pm Dan: Already sounds like ornette coleman
	7:39pm Dan: The opening at least
	7:45pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Beings Of Light" by "Sonny Simmons" this CD contains a still otherwise unavailable live LP, I'm playing a track from that www.discogs.com...
	7:45pm Dean: Saw Simmons in downtown Oakland with Cosmosomatics. They played a weird space near the Chinatown branch of the public library. Loved it.
	7:47pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Beings Of Light" by "Sonny Simmons" Arhoolie didn't just do "roots" music, they also released several free jazz LPs, like Manhattan Egos from 1969
	7:50pm Dean: Yes, but the free jazz part of the catalog was evidently due to the fact that Chris, with whom I share a birthday, had a girlfriend into that repertoire. He himself was not a fan.
	7:50pm Listener Gregory: This Simmons makes a lot more sense to me than that Meditation song. Nice cut.
	7:51pm Dean: So I've learned from visiting his store, which is among my favorite record stores on the planet.
	7:52pm Observations: ↳ Dean @7:51 Interesting! I didn't know that. Never been to the store, hope to one day.
	7:54pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Monsom" by "Kantata" "It’s generally accepted that the first major funky electronic disco/boogie Highlife tune was George Darko’s 1983 Hamburg-recorded Akoo Te Brofo – so, Burger Highlife"
	7:58pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Dakchi Hani" by "Sami Galbi" "Dakchi Hani," which translates to "It's not serious" in Moroccan Darija
	8:09pm Listener Gregory: I have always pretended to understand the lyrics of this song, but… (Compared to What).
	8:15pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Kick (7" Alternate Mix)" by "Brion Gysin" feat. Don Cherry
	8:18pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Kick (7" Alternate Mix)" by "Brion Gysin" previously unreleased bonus track
	8:24pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Village Song" by "Isaiah Collier" "Nowhere is this more evident than on the album’s 13-minute centrepiece, ‘Village Song’, in which Collier evokes the spiritual, psychological and emotional home of the African diaspora in song. “I want to speak to everybody of the African diaspora, truly in its entirety,” he explains, “from all the way of being back in the motherland, to the new lands we’ve come to.” "
	8:27pm Listener Gregory: I’m not a big fan of Collier’s, but I like this a lot.
	8:36pm Doug Schulkind: Sounding great, David!
	8:37pm Observations: ↳ Doug Schulkind @8:36 😎🙏👋🙏👋
	8:41pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Song No. 1" by "Sinchi Yachaj" "Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive brew, traditionally used by Indigenous cultures and folk healers in Amazon and Orinoco basins for spiritual ceremonies, divination, and healing a variety of psychosomatic complaints. Originally restricted to areas of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador"
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: May I ask what/who hardedge is?

	9:15pm doctorjazz: Hi-I was goigng to take WR's seat, but I'll just hang in the corner.
	9:18pm Listener Gregory: I was here earlier; why shouldn’t I get WR’s seat?? Maybe David should auction it off.
	9:20pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Mass Hysterism Part III" by "Masayuki Takayanagi" Personnel Masayuki Takayanagi (electric guitar) Akira Iijima (electric guitar) Hiroshi Yamazaki (drum, percussion) Credits Recorded at Kid Ailak Hall, August 14, 1983 Meidaimae, Tokyo

	9:57pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Gittin' To Know Y'All / Part I" by "The Baden-Bad... George Lewis - "This essay examines one of the first extensively documented musical collaborations between two experimental music communities that emerged at around the same moment in time: members of the European “free jazz” or “free improvisation” movement, an international development that spanned the continent, and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a product of Chicago’s racially segregated, all-black South Side. The collaboration, organized by the important critic and radio producer Joachim Ernst Berendt, took place in 1969 at the Baden-Baden “Free Jazz Treffen” in the German Schwarzwald. While the goals, methods, materials, geographical base, historical outlook, political and cultural stances, and critical reception of the two avant-gardes differ markedly, both of these movements are framed in music histories as key representatives of a second generation of the “free jazz” movement spearheaded by Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane, among many others. By 1965, these two experimental networks, based on different continents and unaware of each other, yet sharing important characteristics, goals and acknowledged musical antecedents, were in the process of crystallization. A studio recording from the “Free Jazz Treffen” was released in 1970 under Lester Bowie's leadership, bearing the pointedly ironic title, “Gittin’ To Know Y'All." Reading the history of the two avant-gardes around the Bowie recording, the essay seeks answers to the question of why these two avant-gardes, despite their seeming compatibilities, remain relatively distanced from each other in terms of certain kinds of collaborations." www.criticalimprov.com...
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks for a great show, David.
	10:03pm doctorjazz: Thanks again David!
	10:03pm Observations: 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
