WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from May 26, 2024

Listener comments!
	6:48pm Listener Gregory: Nice picture! Is that the Stork Club?
	♥ 6:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:48 Hang on, I will caption it!
	♥ 6:59pm doctorjazz: Hello DJ Peter, listening on the road (will be driving home from Boston)
	♥ 7:00pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter and all...
	7:01pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, keep one eye on our comments and the other on the road, for safety.
	♥ 7:05pm Jeff Golick: M Squad borrowed a little from Now's the Time? Hi!
	7:05pm Listener Gregory: I’ve always been puzzled about why Parker hired Miles, whose trumpet skills were not great at the time. And he had almost no experience playing w national-level acts, no?
	♥ 7:06pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Now's the Time" by "Charlie Parker's Reboppers" And...Dizzy on piano? (Looking at the notes.)
	♥ 7:06pm DJ Peter: Hey Jeff: yeah maybe! and maybe Monk's "Raise Four" took from M Squad? Hi LG, Doc, tom tom. Everyone keep your eyes where they should be, and you can leave the ears part to me.
	♥ 7:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:06 I think the story is that Sadik Hakim was a little too amped up, so Dizzy relieved him.
	♥ 7:07pm DJ Peter: Jumping ahead now to the Parker quintet led by Miles, with Bird on tenor
	♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:05 Maybe he knew he could push him around a bit? And maybe also wanted a contrasting style from the trumpet (which Miles definitely took from when he was picking sax players).
	♥ 7:10pm Jeff Golick: Somewhere in the astral plane, Phil Schaap turns his lonely ears to you...
	♥ 7:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:10 Woo woo woo!
	7:11pm Listener Gregory: Well, I think Parker’s record in paying side musicians was spotty, and Miles would be less likely to complain. “Go back to Julliard if you don’t like it!”
	♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: Miles now sounds totally assured. Two tracks from this session followed by an aircheck... yeah, following up this session with a gig at the Roost, can you imagine?
	♥ 7:17pm doctorjazz: I do know all thus Bird like the back of my hand (and it I'd great to hear them)
	♥ 7:22pm tom tom the pipers son: at a charle parker birthday concert in tompkins square park, max roach told the story of when davis was in charlie parker group he could not play dizzy's parts, he was not fast enough, so they told him to use a mute and that was how he started using a mute
	♥ 7:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 Wow, do you remember which band Max was playing with? (assuming he played and didn't just emcee)
	♥ 7:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @7:25 max was solo...it was a beautiful day and it felt he just played to nature...a very natural solo set
	♥ 7:32pm WR: Hi DJ Peter and folks. Many more Miles to go.
	♥ 7:37pm Jeff Golick: Art Blakey might not be the person you want to see after just kicking.
	♥ 7:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:37 Hey WR! Hmm, I'm sure you're right Jeff. But had Miles taken up boxing by this time?
	♥ 7:38pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: Salutations coelachanthø!
	7:41pm Listener Gregory: Haven’t heard Weirdo in a long time. It sounds like a slowed-down Walkin’, no?
	♥ 7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:41 Indeed. First recorded by Ammons & Stitt as "Swampy" if memory serves. Then the ornamentation got added and it was credited to Richard Carpenter, who certainly didn't write it and certainly was a piece of work. The kinda guy where you check that your wallet is still in your pocket after he walks away.
	7:52pm Listener Gregory: I think every major jazz musician should have recorded w Milt Jackson.
	♥ 7:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:52 Dig! Again contrasts: Milt's prolixity, followed by Monk's acerbic wit.
	♥ 7:54pm Kat in the chat: Good evening!
	♥ 7:55pm DJ Peter: Hi Kat! I hear you caught Marshall Allen's 100th, sorry I missed it! Didn't realize you were on the scene in Philly!
	7:55pm Listener Gregory: Does anyone else sense some passive aggression in Monk’s solo?
	♥ 7:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ DJ Peter @7:55 Yeah I moved to Philly a year ago, the Arkestra is a local band for me now, haha
	8:01pm Listener Gregory: Interesting story about Monk. Why on earth hire him and then tell him not to play? You knew what you were getting. Maybe the producer hired him.
	♥ 8:04pm doctorjazz: Break in the driving, digging the sounds! On the roadfor the rest.
	♥ 8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:58 Awesome, next time I'm at Solar Myth I'll try to wear some WFMU gear, say hi if you see me. (Have tickets for Nicole Mitchell, I think that's Friday?)
	♥ 8:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 I don't have plans for Solar Myth coming up but I'll try to remember to shout them out here if I do! Yeah I definitely accosted a couple at the Arkestra show with WFMU T-shirts, one of them had the John Allen "Jazz" shirt which I've never seen in the wild
	♥ 8:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "It Never Entered My Mind" by "The Miles Davis Qui... elements of 'everytime i say goodbye ' in this
	♥ 8:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:11 Yeah... the pedal point... so sexy...
	8:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:12 This rhythm section deserves kudos just as much as those of the "Great Quintets."
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "It Never Entered My Mind" by "The Miles Davis Qui... From the first of the marathon quintet sessions... up next from the second (and RVG may have messed up on the mic placement for the bass, it's a bit harsher than he usually went for)
	♥ 8:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Oleo" by "The Miles Davis Quintet" this sounds very much gillespie
	♥ 8:17pm tom tom the pipers son: esp the opening "line"
	♥ 8:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:17 👍
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Peter: Gonna keep rollin' into the next set: Miles in Europe
	8:24pm Listener Gregory: Interesting that Oleo is a Sonny Rollins tune but is much more closely associated w Miles. I’ve had musicians tell me (well, one) that it’s his composition. Did Rollins play it much?
	♥ 8:24pm tom tom the pipers son: seems like young is playing 'brighter' than usual
	♥ 8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 Didn't he do it on that live album with Don Cherry?
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 Certainly not Prez at his tip top, but I think he must have been happy to be feted across Europe and I'm sure Miles showed him mucho respect
	♥ 8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:27 that's nice to imagine... he actually didn't play much...
	♥ 8:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Solar" by "Miles Davis Quintet" In contrast with a lot of great compositions, "Solar" was quickly picked up by many... and yet this is the only other time Miles is caught on tape performing it. (Originally from the flip side of the Walkin' LP)
	♥ 8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 I hear a lot of Lester in Miles's playing: the mid-register, laying back rhythmically, floating over the chord changes (unlike Coleman Hawkins), making a virtue of the frailty of his tone...
	8:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:29 Is it based on the chords of How High the Moon? I've heard it a few dozen times, but this is the first it's occurred to me. I am not that sharp.
	♥ 8:31pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @8:29 I believe Solar is shown/notated on Davis's gravestone. And also that there is some question around authorship?
	♥ 8:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 The intriguing thing about Solar (and I think why musicians took to it) is that you can play it as a 12-bar blues, but it has intriguing harmonies if you want to lean into them.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:31 An authorship dispute involving Miles? Come on, Jeff!
	♥ 8:35pm DJ Peter: There's similarity to "How High the Moon" for sure, but it cycles back after 12 bars... maybe foreshadowing a characteristic of the Wayne-Herbie-Ron-Tony quintet's compositions, which disguise where the form repeats
	♥ 8:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:31 yes i thought young 'brighter' tone was an accommodation to miles davis and sounds like you're saying davis took to it with kindness. i did not listen that closely
	8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:35 It may have been an idiosyncracy of the pianist's chords.
	8:46pm Listener Gregory: Re: Green Dolphin… remind me to play this at my funeral.
	8:47pm DL in LA: ↳ Song: "Florence sur les Champs-Élysées" by "Miles Davis" Loved this.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ DL in LA @8:47 Hey DL, glad! Even sexier when you watch Jeanne Moreau walking around Paris with Miles as her soundtrack!
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: They’re so fresh and fine, and they’re just off the vine—strawberries!
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Well You Needn't (unedited)" by "Miles Davis" Speaking of tone... to me this is Miles at his absolute technical peak, where he can make the trumpet do whatever he wants. Of course what made him an amazing artist was that he could do great things when his lip wasn't cooperating too.
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Peter: Primal Ice Cream with Solo Mon coming up... wfmu.org...
	♥ 8:55pm tom tom the pipers son: oh. gee thanks peter...
	8:58pm northguineahills: ack, here for the end!
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. You managed to find some good stuff in his catalog. Very enjoyable show.
	♥ 8:59pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @8:58 ack!
	8:59pm DL in LA: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 What movie?
	♥ 8:59pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter! Wasn't on the playlist much but we enjoyed all the tunes and info.
	♥ 8:59pm DJ Peter: Louis Malle's "Life to the Scaffold" aka "Elevator to the Gallows" aka "Ascenseur sur l'echafaud"
	9:00pm DL in LA: Def checking this archive later!
	♥ 9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody!
	♥ 9:02pm Kat in the chat: Thanks Peter!
	♥ 9:32pm Jeff Golick: Belated thanks!
	♥ 9:43pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter! (belated)
	9:51pm DL in LA: ↳ DJ Peter @8:59 Thanks Peter!!
	♥ 12:48am doctorjazz: Great show, listened on my drive, thanks DJ Peter!
	♥ 3:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Correction: the Ammons-Stitt release (4/26/1950) was named "Gravy." 3/4 of this session has Carpenter's name on the tracks. It has been reported that Carpenter found musicians who needed money (habitually) and got his name on their compositions in the process.

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from May 26, 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.

	8:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:31 An authorship dispute involving Miles? Come on, Jeff!
	♥ 8:35pm DJ Peter: There's similarity to "How High the Moon" for sure, but it cycles back after 12 bars... maybe foreshadowing a characteristic of the Wayne-Herbie-Ron-Tony quintet's compositions, which disguise where the form repeats
	♥ 8:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:31 yes i thought young 'brighter' tone was an accommodation to miles davis and sounds like you're saying davis took to it with kindness. i did not listen that closely
	8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:35 It may have been an idiosyncracy of the pianist's chords.
	8:46pm Listener Gregory: Re: Green Dolphin… remind me to play this at my funeral.
	8:47pm DL in LA: ↳ Song: "Florence sur les Champs-Élysées" by "Miles Davis" Loved this.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ DL in LA @8:47 Hey DL, glad! Even sexier when you watch Jeanne Moreau walking around Paris with Miles as her soundtrack!
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: They’re so fresh and fine, and they’re just off the vine—strawberries!
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Well You Needn't (unedited)" by "Miles Davis" Speaking of tone... to me this is Miles at his absolute technical peak, where he can make the trumpet do whatever he wants. Of course what made him an amazing artist was that he could do great things when his lip wasn't cooperating too.
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Peter: Primal Ice Cream with Solo Mon coming up... wfmu.org...

	♥ 12:48am doctorjazz: Great show, listened on my drive, thanks DJ Peter!
	♥ 3:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Correction: the Ammons-Stitt release (4/26/1950) was named "Gravy." 3/4 of this session has Carpenter's name on the tracks. It has been reported that Carpenter found musicians who needed money (habitually) and got his name on their compositions in the process.
