WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from June 30, 2024

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from June 30, 2024

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.

Earl Browne	John Cage: Three Solos for Trumpet (from the Concert for Piano and Orchestra, 1957-1958)	A Chance Operation: The John Cage Tribute	Koch International Classics	1993	"This work comprises 63 pages to be played, in whole or in part, in any sequence, involving 84 'types' of composition. To be performed, in whole or in part, in any duration, with any number of the above performers, as a solo, chamber ensemble, symphony, concert for piano and orchestra, aria, etc.... This work was used as music for the choreographed piece by Merce Cunningham entitled Antic Meet, with stage decors and costume design by Robert Rauschenberg. Concert for Piano and Orchestra has no score, but rather consists of highly detailed parts. Any performance may include all of the instruments, but the work may also be performed as a solo, duet, trio, etc. Should this occur, the title should be changed to reflect the chosen instrumentation, i.e. Solo for Piano. The notation of each part uses a system wherein space is relative to time. The amount of time is determined by the musician and then altered during performance, by the conductor, whose role is to act as a chronometer on the podium whose arms simulate the movement of the hands of a clock. Notes are of 3 sizes, and may refer to duration or amplitude or both, interpreted by the performer. This work is a tour de force compilation of then contemporary compositional practices, with each of its solos involving as many playing techniques as possible. The part for pianist, for example, is an aggregate of 84 different kinds of notation, written on 63 pages, and composed using 84 different compositional techniques. The pianist may play the material in whole or in part, choosing any notations, elements, or parts, and playing them in any order. Cage’s composing means involved chance operations, as well as the use of the imperfections found in the paper upon which the music was written. This work may be performed alone, or in combination with Solo for Voice 1, Solo for Voice 2, Fontana Mix, Aria, Indeterminacy, Song Books, and/or other related indeterminate pieces such as Variations I and II." -- from JohnCage.org		2:22:24 (Pop-up)

Listener comments!
	7:02pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter, clockeurs, clockettes, and clockxes!
	🕰 7:02pm WR: Be Here Now. Could be a book title.
	7:04pm Jeff g. via app,: Have been driving and listening. Had a slightly out of body experience during the Cowell interlude. Hello!
	🕰 7:06pm WR: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @7:04 Jeff! Got to take care and stay in your body when you are the designated driver.
	7:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @7:04 There will be some special Stanley Cowell coming up! Hey Jeff, adamdoesit (said with French accent), WR!
	🕰 7:09pm Listener Gregory: Hi, Clockers! Sorry, my dumb brother called me, so I didn't hear Peter's intro. Can anyone tell me today's secret word?
	7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:09 I thought YOU had the word, LG?!
	🕰 7:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Playground 1. Copy Cat (Oded Lev-Ari)" by "Ryan T... Hmmm. I keep getting email from Trueswell about this, but I'm not entirely convinced about the project. Peter, please listen to the entire thing and provide a track-by-track evaluation. Thx
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:22 Will do, but maybe not all tonight!
	7:28pm DJ Peter: Severe Thunder Watch here at the Delaware satellite studio of WFMU... I think we'll be okay but just wanted to give a head's up in case the power goes out!
	🕰 7:31pm Listener Gregory: No pressure, but let's just note that the Number 1 Dutch Jazz DJ doesn't stop broadcasting because of thunder.
	7:34pm asheville jon: Yay, more laughing clock!
	7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ asheville jon @7:34 Deja vu, asheville jon! Yeah, The Laughing Clock has made up about 10% of the Drummer's programming over the last 8 days.
	7:38pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:28 Severe thunder? Aw that's just Tyshawn.
	🕰 7:43pm WR: Here up north a bit, about half an hour ago, the sun broke through while there was much thunder. Must have been fairly distant because noticed no lightning. This report comes from my bed and the window shades are all closed so there are obvious limitations to those weather observations. I lounge here and am coming to grips with the opening pages of the Veal book. Currently reading Veal's discussion of his evolving encounters with Coltrane's music. I.E. page 6 & 7.
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:43 Not my favorite gambit. "Let me tell you about the college friend who made me a cassette mix tape..." So many books do that! Why? In Veal's case there's a pretext: the notion of signal deterioration as tapes are passed around is one of the things that interests him.
	7:46pm adamdoesit: Vinnie Sperrazza reviewed "3 Shades of Blue" on his substack today. He called it "a subtle hatchet job on jazz by a tourist." Didn't make me want to run out and buy a copy.
	7:49pm DJ Peter: I was taught not to say anything if you have nothing nice to say. But what do you do when you want to say something nice about someone else saying something less nice? (I only paged through the book, decided I wasn't its audience. But I didn't see anything that made me think Sperrazza is wrong.)
	7:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:49 Wow that was a lot of double negatives, I apologize for that sentence.
	🕰 7:51pm WR: ↳ Song: "Una Muy Bonita (alternate take)" by "Bobby Hutche... Una Muy Bonita, Ornette Coleman composition recorded in Oct of 1959, released on the 1960 album, Change of the Century. Billy Higgins on drums for the Coleman and the Hutcherson recordings.
	🕰 7:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @7:46 Huh! Why a hatchet job, I wonder? I saw the book at my local coffee shop (also poetry bookstore, so why it stocked this, I don't know) but didn't pull the trigger on it.
	7:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:52 He felt it sneered at Olympic swimmers from the shallow end of the pool.
	7:58pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter and all
	7:58pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ Song: "Una Muy Bonita (alternate take)" by "Bobby Hutche... Just got this (still got the plastic wrap) Hi clock watchers!
	🕰 7:59pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @7:58 I always thought the title means "One More Tuna," so don't disabuse me!
	8:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:59 ;- )
	8:03pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:56 Nice turn of phrase, that! Hey coelacanthø! How's your Spanish?
	8:04pm doctorjazz: Had a quick thunderstorm here inNorth Adams, passed quickly.
	8:05pm DJ Peter: "muy" is an intensifier: so "una muy bonita" is "a very pretty girl" (or possibly more literally "one very 'pretty girl' pretty girl")
	8:06pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and listeners...
	8:08pm DJ Peter: tom tom! just realized the piper named his son after a drummer's equipment!
	8:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:08 oedipal tensions i'd say...
	🕰 8:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 The song Star-Crossed Lovers in Ellington/Strayhorn's Such Sweet Thunder was originally called Pretty Girl, until it was co-opted for the Shakespeare Suite. News you can use!
	8:14pm DJ Peter: Ripe for mashing up! Oh to have heard Johnny Hodges's phrasing over the Haden-Higgins rhythm team!
	8:15pm DJ Peter: Doc: how's Vermont treating you?
	8:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:03 no estar bueno?
	🕰 8:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:15 I drove down I-89 and I-91 half the state today, but I didn't see the good doctor at all.
	8:20pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ DJ Peter @8:15 Not far from Vermont, but on North Adams, Mass. Here for the Solid Sounds Festival (just ended). Saw some great bands, Horse Lords ;they're killer live), Nelson Cline, Mary Halvorson, Mark Robot (and, Wilco, Iris DeMent, Nick Lowe, and a bunch of others). Quite exhausted, though, getting old for festivals...
	8:20pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: Quick visit, gotta run.
	🕰 8:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @8:20 Mark Robot is excellent for an AI!
	8:24pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:21 I knew I'd screw up something...
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @8:20 Did Solid Sounds used to be nearer to Burlington? Or maybe it's just they hung posters up for it in arts centers all around New England... I recall seeing posters up for it when passing through one year
	🕰 8:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Two-Bass Hit" by "The Diamond Five" This band swings, but I would say that it's about the same as a good local US band. A lot of the Dutch groups I've heard on the show seem more distinctive.
	🕰 8:32pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @8:20 Wow, doc, lot of great music! Did you do all three days?
	8:33pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Song of Praise" by "John Coltrane" Late at night would make it early AM.
	8:34pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ WR @8:32 Yup
	8:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:33 It's still PM on the FM, not late enough to be early (aka FM in the AM)
	8:39pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:35 Speaking of, it's time for me to unplug for the night. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Song of Praise" by "John Coltrane" Downbeat just reprinted an 1988 interview with Miles, in which he infamously said how much he hated McCoy Tyner's playing in the Coltrane band. He just really did not want a pianist to play a lot of notes, bringing up his admiration of Ahmad Jamal. He also didn't care for Jimmy Garrison for some unstated reason. Oh well!
	8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:40 I'm trying to imagine Miles playing over this rhythm section and: I am having a hard time. Likewise imagining Coltrane playing with Herbie-Ron-Tony. Miles Davis coming up: for those reading along, you can turn to p. 264. As it happens Stork played this same performance a month ago on Miles's birthday, but the sonics are very different on the Japanese Sony release I've drawn from.
	🕰 8:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:45 Miles allowed as to Elvin Jones being ok. He can be broad-minded when he wants to.
	🕰 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Hey, are we ending??? Oh wow, overtime!
	🕰 9:35pm WR: ↳ Song: "John Cage: Three Solos for Trumpet (from the Conc... You have to ask Earl Browne for further information. Too bad he passed in 2002
	9:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @9:35 Hmm you found some info on him?
	9:46pm chresti: Hi laughing ice cream! Bin listening in the kitchen!
	9:47pm DJ Peter: Hey chresti thanks for saying hi. it was getting quiet in the chat!
	9:49pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @9:47 Doesn't look hot where you are?
	9:50pm DJ Peter: It's been pleasant the last few days, we'll see if the storm that just passed through cools things down or humidifies things up
	9:51pm bigplanetnoise: This is so good!
	9:52pm DJ Peter: No argument from me! I have a theory about why it was held back... will explain on mic...
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: i've got to go cooking. Thanks Peter! tchau
	🕰 9:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "West 22nd Street Theme (alternate take)" by "Bobb... This is great: I don't even need to buy this anthology now.
	🕰 9:52pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @9:39 I am assuming it is Cage's contemporary, Earle Brown the composer who did play trumpet. Not confirmed. en.wikipedia.org...
	🕰 9:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:52 I recognize the composer's name too. It seems too much to be a coincidence.
	9:56pm Dean: I haven't yet opened my copy of that Hutcherson box.
	🕰 9:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:52 I did just buy the Freddie Hubbard Mosaic set, as I don't have most of his Blue Note albums.
	9:59pm HyperDose: I am beside myself at how amazing this show has been
	9:59pm bigplanetnoise: Thx, DJ Peter!
	9:59pm chresti: Thanks DJ Peter!
	🕰 9:59pm WR: Thank you! Peter!
	9:59pm DJ Peter: So that would be Hyper DOS Dose? Thanks!
	10:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks WR, chresti, bigplanetnoise, Dean, Listener Gregory, and all you beautiful lurkers out there!
	🕰 10:01pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. Great show. 10 hours in one week is a lot. There just isn't that much jazz recording.
	10:02pm DJ Peter: hahaha i've been trying to get my collection organized this whole time... the floor of my studio disagrees with you!

Earl Browne	John Cage: Three Solos for Trumpet (from the Concert for Piano and Orchestra, 1957-1958)	A Chance Operation: The John Cage Tribute	Koch International Classics	1993	"This work comprises 63 pages to be played, in whole or in part, in any sequence, involving 84 'types' of composition. To be performed, in whole or in part, in any duration, with any number of the above performers, as a solo, chamber ensemble, symphony, concert for piano and orchestra, aria, etc.... This work was used as music for the choreographed piece by Merce Cunningham entitled Antic Meet, with stage decors and costume design by Robert Rauschenberg. Concert for Piano and Orchestra has no score, but rather consists of highly detailed parts. Any performance may include all of the instruments, but the work may also be performed as a solo, duet, trio, etc. Should this occur, the title should be changed to reflect the chosen instrumentation, i.e. Solo for Piano. The notation of each part uses a system wherein space is relative to time. The amount of time is determined by the musician and then altered during performance, by the conductor, whose role is to act as a chronometer on the podium whose arms simulate the movement of the hands of a clock. Notes are of 3 sizes, and may refer to duration or amplitude or both, interpreted by the performer. This work is a tour de force compilation of then contemporary compositional practices, with each of its solos involving as many playing techniques as possible. The part for pianist, for example, is an aggregate of 84 different kinds of notation, written on 63 pages, and composed using 84 different compositional techniques. The pianist may play the material in whole or in part, choosing any notations, elements, or parts, and playing them in any order. Cage’s composing means involved chance operations, as well as the use of the imperfections found in the paper upon which the music was written. This work may be performed alone, or in combination with Solo for Voice 1, Solo for Voice 2, Fontana Mix, Aria, Indeterminacy, Song Books, and/or other related indeterminate pieces such as Variations I and II." -- from JohnCage.org		2:22:24 (Pop-up)

Listener comments!
	7:02pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter, clockeurs, clockettes, and clockxes!
	🕰 7:02pm WR: Be Here Now. Could be a book title.
	7:04pm Jeff g. via app,: Have been driving and listening. Had a slightly out of body experience during the Cowell interlude. Hello!
	🕰 7:06pm WR: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @7:04 Jeff! Got to take care and stay in your body when you are the designated driver.
	7:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @7:04 There will be some special Stanley Cowell coming up! Hey Jeff, adamdoesit (said with French accent), WR!
	🕰 7:09pm Listener Gregory: Hi, Clockers! Sorry, my dumb brother called me, so I didn't hear Peter's intro. Can anyone tell me today's secret word?
	7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:09 I thought YOU had the word, LG?!
	🕰 7:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Playground 1. Copy Cat (Oded Lev-Ari)" by "Ryan T... Hmmm. I keep getting email from Trueswell about this, but I'm not entirely convinced about the project. Peter, please listen to the entire thing and provide a track-by-track evaluation. Thx
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:22 Will do, but maybe not all tonight!
	7:28pm DJ Peter: Severe Thunder Watch here at the Delaware satellite studio of WFMU... I think we'll be okay but just wanted to give a head's up in case the power goes out!
	🕰 7:31pm Listener Gregory: No pressure, but let's just note that the Number 1 Dutch Jazz DJ doesn't stop broadcasting because of thunder.
	7:34pm asheville jon: Yay, more laughing clock!
	7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ asheville jon @7:34 Deja vu, asheville jon! Yeah, The Laughing Clock has made up about 10% of the Drummer's programming over the last 8 days.
	7:38pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:28 Severe thunder? Aw that's just Tyshawn.
	🕰 7:43pm WR: Here up north a bit, about half an hour ago, the sun broke through while there was much thunder. Must have been fairly distant because noticed no lightning. This report comes from my bed and the window shades are all closed so there are obvious limitations to those weather observations. I lounge here and am coming to grips with the opening pages of the Veal book. Currently reading Veal's discussion of his evolving encounters with Coltrane's music. I.E. page 6 & 7.
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:43 Not my favorite gambit. "Let me tell you about the college friend who made me a cassette mix tape..." So many books do that! Why? In Veal's case there's a pretext: the notion of signal deterioration as tapes are passed around is one of the things that interests him.
	7:46pm adamdoesit: Vinnie Sperrazza reviewed "3 Shades of Blue" on his substack today. He called it "a subtle hatchet job on jazz by a tourist." Didn't make me want to run out and buy a copy.
	7:49pm DJ Peter: I was taught not to say anything if you have nothing nice to say. But what do you do when you want to say something nice about someone else saying something less nice? (I only paged through the book, decided I wasn't its audience. But I didn't see anything that made me think Sperrazza is wrong.)
	7:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:49 Wow that was a lot of double negatives, I apologize for that sentence.
	🕰 7:51pm WR: ↳ Song: "Una Muy Bonita (alternate take)" by "Bobby Hutche... Una Muy Bonita, Ornette Coleman composition recorded in Oct of 1959, released on the 1960 album, Change of the Century. Billy Higgins on drums for the Coleman and the Hutcherson recordings.
	🕰 7:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @7:46 Huh! Why a hatchet job, I wonder? I saw the book at my local coffee shop (also poetry bookstore, so why it stocked this, I don't know) but didn't pull the trigger on it.
	7:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:52 He felt it sneered at Olympic swimmers from the shallow end of the pool.
	7:58pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter and all
	7:58pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ Song: "Una Muy Bonita (alternate take)" by "Bobby Hutche... Just got this (still got the plastic wrap) Hi clock watchers!
	🕰 7:59pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @7:58 I always thought the title means "One More Tuna," so don't disabuse me!
	8:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:59 ;- )
	8:03pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:56 Nice turn of phrase, that! Hey coelacanthø! How's your Spanish?
	8:04pm doctorjazz: Had a quick thunderstorm here inNorth Adams, passed quickly.
	8:05pm DJ Peter: "muy" is an intensifier: so "una muy bonita" is "a very pretty girl" (or possibly more literally "one very 'pretty girl' pretty girl")
	8:06pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and listeners...
	8:08pm DJ Peter: tom tom! just realized the piper named his son after a drummer's equipment!
	8:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:08 oedipal tensions i'd say...
	🕰 8:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:05 The song Star-Crossed Lovers in Ellington/Strayhorn's Such Sweet Thunder was originally called Pretty Girl, until it was co-opted for the Shakespeare Suite. News you can use!
	8:14pm DJ Peter: Ripe for mashing up! Oh to have heard Johnny Hodges's phrasing over the Haden-Higgins rhythm team!
	8:15pm DJ Peter: Doc: how's Vermont treating you?
	8:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:03 no estar bueno?
	🕰 8:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:15 I drove down I-89 and I-91 half the state today, but I didn't see the good doctor at all.
	8:20pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ DJ Peter @8:15 Not far from Vermont, but on North Adams, Mass. Here for the Solid Sounds Festival (just ended). Saw some great bands, Horse Lords ;they're killer live), Nelson Cline, Mary Halvorson, Mark Robot (and, Wilco, Iris DeMent, Nick Lowe, and a bunch of others). Quite exhausted, though, getting old for festivals...
	8:20pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: Quick visit, gotta run.
	🕰 8:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @8:20 Mark Robot is excellent for an AI!
	8:24pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:21 I knew I'd screw up something...
	8:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @8:20 Did Solid Sounds used to be nearer to Burlington? Or maybe it's just they hung posters up for it in arts centers all around New England... I recall seeing posters up for it when passing through one year
	🕰 8:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Two-Bass Hit" by "The Diamond Five" This band swings, but I would say that it's about the same as a good local US band. A lot of the Dutch groups I've heard on the show seem more distinctive.
	🕰 8:32pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz in the Berkshires @8:20 Wow, doc, lot of great music! Did you do all three days?
	8:33pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Song of Praise" by "John Coltrane" Late at night would make it early AM.
	8:34pm doctorjazz in the Berkshires: ↳ WR @8:32 Yup
	8:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:33 It's still PM on the FM, not late enough to be early (aka FM in the AM)
	8:39pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:35 Speaking of, it's time for me to unplug for the night. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Song of Praise" by "John Coltrane" Downbeat just reprinted an 1988 interview with Miles, in which he infamously said how much he hated McCoy Tyner's playing in the Coltrane band. He just really did not want a pianist to play a lot of notes, bringing up his admiration of Ahmad Jamal. He also didn't care for Jimmy Garrison for some unstated reason. Oh well!
	8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:40 I'm trying to imagine Miles playing over this rhythm section and: I am having a hard time. Likewise imagining Coltrane playing with Herbie-Ron-Tony. Miles Davis coming up: for those reading along, you can turn to p. 264. As it happens Stork played this same performance a month ago on Miles's birthday, but the sonics are very different on the Japanese Sony release I've drawn from.
	🕰 8:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:45 Miles allowed as to Elvin Jones being ok. He can be broad-minded when he wants to.
	🕰 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Hey, are we ending??? Oh wow, overtime!
	🕰 9:35pm WR: ↳ Song: "John Cage: Three Solos for Trumpet (from the Conc... You have to ask Earl Browne for further information. Too bad he passed in 2002
	9:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @9:35 Hmm you found some info on him?
	9:46pm chresti: Hi laughing ice cream! Bin listening in the kitchen!
	9:47pm DJ Peter: Hey chresti thanks for saying hi. it was getting quiet in the chat!
	9:49pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @9:47 Doesn't look hot where you are?
	9:50pm DJ Peter: It's been pleasant the last few days, we'll see if the storm that just passed through cools things down or humidifies things up
	9:51pm bigplanetnoise: This is so good!
	9:52pm DJ Peter: No argument from me! I have a theory about why it was held back... will explain on mic...
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: i've got to go cooking. Thanks Peter! tchau
	🕰 9:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "West 22nd Street Theme (alternate take)" by "Bobb... This is great: I don't even need to buy this anthology now.
	🕰 9:52pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @9:39 I am assuming it is Cage's contemporary, Earle Brown the composer who did play trumpet. Not confirmed. en.wikipedia.org...
	🕰 9:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:52 I recognize the composer's name too. It seems too much to be a coincidence.
	9:56pm Dean: I haven't yet opened my copy of that Hutcherson box.
	🕰 9:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:52 I did just buy the Freddie Hubbard Mosaic set, as I don't have most of his Blue Note albums.
	9:59pm HyperDose: I am beside myself at how amazing this show has been
	9:59pm bigplanetnoise: Thx, DJ Peter!
	9:59pm chresti: Thanks DJ Peter!
	🕰 9:59pm WR: Thank you! Peter!
	9:59pm DJ Peter: So that would be Hyper DOS Dose? Thanks!
	10:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks WR, chresti, bigplanetnoise, Dean, Listener Gregory, and all you beautiful lurkers out there!
	🕰 10:01pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. Great show. 10 hours in one week is a lot. There just isn't that much jazz recording.
	10:02pm DJ Peter: hahaha i've been trying to get my collection organized this whole time... the floor of my studio disagrees with you!
