	3:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Rich in Washington @3:05 I've occasionally filled in on Saturday afternoons on WVUD-FM but... now that I think of it, going back to college, it's always been in the evening or the wee small hours. Huh.
	🕰 3:11pm WR: ↳ Yvang @3:10 Is there a translation for "Mélusine" or is it a name?
	3:13pm Yvang: ↳ WR @3:11 It a name!
	3:13pm fred: ↳ Yvang @3:10 With lyrics by Louis Aragon too
	3:13pm Yvang: ↳ fred @3:13 True!
	3:14pm DJ Peter: en.wikipedia.org...
	🕰 3:14pm WR: ↳ Yvang @3:13 Thanks and seems I have new avenues for exploration.
	3:15pm DJ Peter: I'm gonna be seeing CMS in concert later this month: any questions for her, in English only, drop em here and... I'll shout them at her from a long distance.
	🕰 3:18pm WR: ↳ Song: "Continuing Inexplicability" by "Geometry" I have this but have not listened to it. Really like it.
	3:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @3:15 She's playig in Philly Feb 3; I'm guessing that's where you'll aee her.
	3:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @3:22 Yup, at Penn.
	3:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @3:18 I like to think that Jeff gets people to buy stuff and then I remind people that they already bought it.
	3:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Memory" by "Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band" This is lovely!
	3:25pm DJ Peter: Speaking of concerts, going to brave the cold and go hear William Parker's In Order to Survive at Solar Myth tonight; meeting up with at least one other WFMU DJ. Look for us if you're there!
	3:25pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Memory" by "Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band" Sketches of Sketches of Spain, kinda.
	3:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @3:23 (In my case, I buy it a second time...)
	3:25pm Andrew Waterloo: In order to Survive is well worth the effort
	3:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @3:25 Goinbg to Solar Myth in a few weeks to see Nels Cline.
	3:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @3:25 Much changing personnel but I think Cooper-Moore is gonna be there. And Philly's Bobby Zankel sitting in. Parker & Zankel gonna be featured in a while...
	3:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @3:25 That does sound like a great show, though (have dinner plans, being social...)
	3:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @3:25 I feel seen
	3:29pm doctorjazz: IVe been plugging this on many WFMU Chat Boards, but I just got a Soul Note/Black Saint Gianluigi Trovesi 9 CD box, really loving it! (out of print, but still around at not bad prices).
	3:30pm Jeff g. via app: Hey Peter and arbitrary listeners! Currently feeling sad about missing lots of great live music around nyc this weekend, largely due to inertia. Mary Halvorson at the Stone, eg.
	3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff g. via app @3:30 I saw that Halvorson was at the Stone all this past week (saw it when it was too late to make any of the shows), also disappointed to miss her.
	3:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @3:30 Jeff: Huh, you make me realize that the equation for momentum (f=m*a) is much like FOMO. Don't bet against Inertia, the odds are stacked.
	3:35pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Night Birds" by "Sainkho Namchylak" grows on you
	🕰 3:36pm WR: ↳ Song: "Night Birds" by "Sainkho Namchylak" Have this too.
	3:41pm arlo: tuning in between errands- nice to have you in the neighborhood!
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Let It Happen Here" by "Charles Mingus" Unusual Mingus band...
	3:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Don't Let It Happen Here" by "Charles Mingus" Very Brassy!
	3:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ arlo @3:41 Hey Arlo -- of all the shows that I feel least equipped to handle, Arb's and yours. Love both, have no idea where you find the stuff! Look forward to the buffet!
	3:56pm arlo: ha- too kind. i think we all have our own orbits. fun to lean 25-75% into a fill-in... or to hear it!
	3:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Reincarnation of a Lovebird" by "Mary LaRose" What a cool Mingus cover/Vocalese version...
	4:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @3:59 LaRose is credited with the lyrics. She also does this on "Obbligato" in more of a jazz setting, I like the string quartet here
	4:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Reincarnation of a Lovebird" by "Mary LaRose" No bass listed, mut be the cello holding down the bottom, but sounds deeper (like a bass).
	4:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @4:01 It must be a cello (bit more edge, higher freq energy, though it's a really good bass line). I also really like the string quartet, plus vocal, plus clarinet, nice sound!)
	4:03pm doctorjazz: The old Dark Woods Ensemble got a similar sound (no vocals though).
	4:03pm DJ Peter: bassist added! Chris Lightcap
	4:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @4:03 Lightcap is great-saw him a few times, close up at a house concert with Nels Cline. Man...
	4:06pm DJ Peter: Narrator here is Wendell Pierce: Death of a Salesman, The Wire, Treme...
	4:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Scenes in the City" by "Branford Marsalis" First one I have (both versions).
	4:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @4:04 Love his albums (Superette, Big Mouth) but haven't seen him in person!
	4:12pm doctorjazz: I may have his albums somewhere (on my hard drive), have to check, don't know them. Came to him because I'm big on Nels Cline and he plays with him. In fact, I believe he'll be in Cline's band at Solar Myth early Feburary.
	4:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Lotus On the Nile" by "Bobby Zankel Quintet" I believe Zankel did record a bit for CIMP-CIMP was a combination jazz and audiophile label, out of Cadence in upstate NY (who also sold stereo equipment, and had a monthly record list/brochure). They are known for good sound as well as adventurous music (likely why you saw it in a store with audio gear).
	4:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @4:18 You've anticipated me: playing a Cadence Records release of Zankel next. But to be clear: I picked out my CD and brought it to the store. They woulda played Steely Dan or some such thing
	4:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @4:20 (there are recent audiophile Steely Dan reissues, just sayin'. But I was referring to those high end stereo shops (where you buy stereo gear that costs what a small car costs...)
	4:23pm Jeff g. via app: I believe Lightcap is quite tall. Re Zankel, any relation to the Hall?
	4:24pm Doug Schulkind: Philly royalty , Bobby Zankel!!
	4:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 Oh yes, this was a high end shop. The CD player I picked was the cheapest one they had, and at the high end of my budget. (Admired but didn't dare touch a $50K CD player the size of a laser printer).
	4:27pm DL in LA: DJ Peter, hearing your show today is a nice surprise!
	4:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @4:23 Just googled: the Judy and Arthur Zankel are lifelong New Yorkers, Zankel a Philadelphian... could be cousins I suppose, will have to dig to find out. (Or again: I can shout the question at him from a distance. Except at Solar Myth the farthest I'm likely to be from him will be 20 feet)
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Something Up Her Sleeve" by "Bobby Zankel" I have this CD (just found it in the racks).
	4:31pm DJ Peter: Hi DL in LA, thanks for saying so! Glad to be in this weekday timeslot on a special occasion!
	4:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Suite, Pt. 4" by "Bobby Zankel & The Wonderful So... The Painted Bride is no more, alas. I've heard rumors that some people have gotten pieces of the mosaic that adorned the building, I wish that I had ventured to...
	4:32pm doctorjazz: Also found a Big Mouth (Lightcap) CD (that seems to never have been opened) from 2002, will take the plastic off and play it at some point!
	4:33pm DJ Peter: Glad to be your radio support crew as you go spelunking through your collection. If you get buried, we'll mount a rescue
	4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @4:25 Just curious, what CD player did you get?
	4:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Rotel. Very happy with it. Broke it in with the Mahler no. 5 Adagio (had just seen TOR so it was on the mind).
	4:37pm Jeff g. via app: This tune would pair nicely with Doug’s gif from this morning.
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @4:36 Rotel is known to make good sounding gear.
	4:38pm Jeff g. via app: And I just saw Tár, so let me hear your takes, please.
	4:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @4:24 Hey Doug, Philly is almost as significant as Pittsburgh!
	4:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @4:27 Further digging turns up Arthur Z's NYT obit, which mentions survivors (but might not mention extended family anyway?) No Bobby mentioned in any case
	4:40pm wendy del formaggio: Hello, DJ Peter and friends!
	4:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ wendy del formaggio @4:40 Hi Wendy! Thought of you, been partaking of some fancy cheeses this week. Red Cat currently, the name of the other is eluding me...
	4:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff g. via app @4:38 It's hard to go wrong with two and a half hours of Cate Blanchett fully occupying the character of an uncompromising musical prodigy. Pair with her Dylan from "I'm Not There" as a featurette.
	4:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Imagine the Fog Disappearing" by "Tord Gustavsen" This is a bit different than the Gustavsen I've heard-likely due to having a vocal. Otherwise, it's a slow, minor dirge, which, come to think of it, is very much like he usually sounds...
	4:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the fill in, DJ Peter, dug it! Have fun tonight!
	4:56pm Jeff g. via app: adamdoesit, she wuz robbed at the Oscars™️ that year.
	4:58pm wendy del formaggio: @DJ Peter: I don’t know Red Cat. I hope you love it!
	4:58pm Yvang: Thanks DJ Peter! maybe you helped get rid of patriarchy.
	4:58pm adamdoesit: Thank you, DJ Peter! Cool fill-in. Jeff G, what else is new?
	4:58pm asheville jon: Thanks Peter
	5:00pm DJ Peter: ↳ Yvang @4:58 You're kidding but I was very conscious of the difference between "spoken word that is ironically critiquing masculinity" and "radical feminist spoken word"
	5:07pm spodiodi: thank you, DJ Peter!
	5:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @4:37 LOL wfmu.org...
	🕰 8:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Memory" by "Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band" When I heard the opening of this, I was convinced it was a Gil Evans arrangement for Miles Davis.
	🕰 8:44pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:37 I see that @adamdoesit said the same thing. This is what happens when you listen 24 hours late.
	🕰 2:20pm Listener Gregory: Very nice show, Peter. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to supply inane comments live.

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from January 5, 2024

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

	4:23pm Jeff g. via app: I believe Lightcap is quite tall. Re Zankel, any relation to the Hall?
	4:24pm Doug Schulkind: Philly royalty , Bobby Zankel!!
	4:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @4:22 Oh yes, this was a high end shop. The CD player I picked was the cheapest one they had, and at the high end of my budget. (Admired but didn't dare touch a $50K CD player the size of a laser printer).
	4:27pm DL in LA: DJ Peter, hearing your show today is a nice surprise!
	4:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @4:23 Just googled: the Judy and Arthur Zankel are lifelong New Yorkers, Zankel a Philadelphian... could be cousins I suppose, will have to dig to find out. (Or again: I can shout the question at him from a distance. Except at Solar Myth the farthest I'm likely to be from him will be 20 feet)
	4:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Something Up Her Sleeve" by "Bobby Zankel" I have this CD (just found it in the racks).
	4:31pm DJ Peter: Hi DL in LA, thanks for saying so! Glad to be in this weekday timeslot on a special occasion!
	4:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Suite, Pt. 4" by "Bobby Zankel & The Wonderful So... The Painted Bride is no more, alas. I've heard rumors that some people have gotten pieces of the mosaic that adorned the building, I wish that I had ventured to...
	4:32pm doctorjazz: Also found a Big Mouth (Lightcap) CD (that seems to never have been opened) from 2002, will take the plastic off and play it at some point!
	4:33pm DJ Peter: Glad to be your radio support crew as you go spelunking through your collection. If you get buried, we'll mount a rescue
	4:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @4:25 Just curious, what CD player did you get?
	4:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @4:33 Rotel. Very happy with it. Broke it in with the Mahler no. 5 Adagio (had just seen TOR so it was on the mind).
	4:37pm Jeff g. via app: This tune would pair nicely with Doug’s gif from this morning.
	4:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @4:36 Rotel is known to make good sounding gear.
	4:38pm Jeff g. via app: And I just saw Tár, so let me hear your takes, please.
	4:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @4:24 Hey Doug, Philly is almost as significant as Pittsburgh!
	4:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @4:27 Further digging turns up Arthur Z's NYT obit, which mentions survivors (but might not mention extended family anyway?) No Bobby mentioned in any case
	4:40pm wendy del formaggio: Hello, DJ Peter and friends!
	4:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ wendy del formaggio @4:40 Hi Wendy! Thought of you, been partaking of some fancy cheeses this week. Red Cat currently, the name of the other is eluding me...
	4:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff g. via app @4:38 It's hard to go wrong with two and a half hours of Cate Blanchett fully occupying the character of an uncompromising musical prodigy. Pair with her Dylan from "I'm Not There" as a featurette.
	4:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Imagine the Fog Disappearing" by "Tord Gustavsen" This is a bit different than the Gustavsen I've heard-likely due to having a vocal. Otherwise, it's a slow, minor dirge, which, come to think of it, is very much like he usually sounds...
	4:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the fill in, DJ Peter, dug it! Have fun tonight!
	4:56pm Jeff g. via app: adamdoesit, she wuz robbed at the Oscars™️ that year.
	4:58pm wendy del formaggio: @DJ Peter: I don’t know Red Cat. I hope you love it!
	4:58pm Yvang: Thanks DJ Peter! maybe you helped get rid of patriarchy.
	4:58pm adamdoesit: Thank you, DJ Peter! Cool fill-in. Jeff G, what else is new?
	4:58pm asheville jon: Thanks Peter
	5:00pm DJ Peter: ↳ Yvang @4:58 You're kidding but I was very conscious of the difference between "spoken word that is ironically critiquing masculinity" and "radical feminist spoken word"
	5:07pm spodiodi: thank you, DJ Peter!
	5:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @4:37 LOL wfmu.org...
	🕰 8:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Memory" by "Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band" When I heard the opening of this, I was convinced it was a Gil Evans arrangement for Miles Davis.
	🕰 8:44pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:37 I see that @adamdoesit said the same thing. This is what happens when you listen 24 hours late.
	🕰 2:20pm Listener Gregory: Very nice show, Peter. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to supply inane comments live.
