Listener comments!
	5:56pm doctorjazz: Got unexpected company, but will try to be here 6 for the start! Hi Peter, Timekkeepers!
	🕰 5:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @5:56 Unexpected company is the most surprising. Good luck with them!
	5:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @5:58 Neighbors with an adorable 1 year old girl and 3 year old boy. MsJazz is trying to adopt them...
	6:02pm doctorjazz: And finishing my beef barley soup (started yesterday, but needed to refrigetate half way through, started too late. Also a good way to defat, it all rises to the top in the fridge). .
	🕰 6:03pm Listener Gregory: Hmm, now someone is playing music. What an intrusion!
	6:03pm doctorjazz: Clock in the picture looks very lonely...
	6:06pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter and clock- (and calendar-) watchers. Today I have a better idea of why the clock laughs than I did last week. I'm not sure I like its sense of humor.
	6:07pm Listener Gregory: Ooh, I like to get larned!
	6:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "M Squad Theme" by "Red Garland" You're usually talking over the solo section of this, but Garland plays a terriffic solo!
	6:10pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	6:11pm DJ Peter: Hi everyone -- a bit of a scramble to start today but The Lonesome Clock is alive. Greetings doctorjazz, Listener Gregory, adamdoesit, pot80, and lurkers and future listeners!
	🕰 6:13pm WR: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Hi DJ Peter and folks. I was given this when I was 18-19. I had already listened to Coleman, Coltrane, some swing things. They seemed interesting but didn't connect. This piece connected and I listened to it every day for a while.
	🕰 6:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... “Town Hall Concert—music played on European tour.” I am not at all confused.
	6:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:13 Me too, WR
	6:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:13 I think the deal was: the European tour was a big deal but Mingus didn't have control of recordings of it. But he did record the concert before flying out and released it on his own label.
	6:18pm bigplanetnoise: Thanks for the great dinner soundtrack, DJ P!
	🕰 6:19pm Listener Gregory: Does anyone else think there is a Spanish feel to this piece?
	6:19pm DJ Peter: Hi bigplanetnoise! and thank you in advance for the "nightcap" soundtrack!
	🕰 6:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:18 I see. I have to check to see if I have this. I stopped buying Mingus some time ago when I realized it was almost all repackagings of recordings I already owned.
	6:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... This is great (dig Dolphy!)!
	6:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Pretty sure I have this (and a bunch of live recordings from around this time. Some of the European Dates did get recorded/released, if I remember correctly. I have a box set of it (someplace).
	6:26pm doctorjazz: (Company left, soup is simmering for 30-60 minutes, did a bunch of spicing/doctoring, family is off watching a movie, sitting and resting for a bit).
	6:27pm adamdoesit: I heard a little When Johnny Comes Marching Home in Mingus' solo. Apt.
	🕰 6:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:25 Yes, their Paris concert was definitely released—without authorization at first.
	6:29pm doctorjazz: Just got the Mosaic V-disc set (man, that's big! will take a bit to get through it. Just on the last CD of the Hutcherson set...)
	6:30pm DJ Peter: Amsterdam, Oslo, Copenhagen, Bremen, Paris twice, Wuppertal, Stuttgart... plus the Cornell U. concert preceding Town Hall...
	6:30pm doctorjazz: (Jets getting destroyed, what else is new...)
	6:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:30 I believe there is a 3 LP set of thst stuff (here somewhere in Chez Doctorjazz), not sure if it was an official release. Sound Quality so so if I remember, long time since I've played, or seen, it).
	🕰 6:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Welp, this about says it all. You can just see the wire cutters.
	6:35pm sailor dog: Is there an annotated version of Beneath the Underdog? Or a biography that attempts to separate myth from less-myth? Or is asking for such a thing deeply misguided
	🕰 6:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ sailor dog @6:35 His wife Sue wrote a biography, which I own but have never read.
	🕰 6:37pm WR: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Mingus's bowing duet with Dolphy at the end is so sweet and loving.
	🕰 6:39pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:36 I should check to see if the library has the Sue Mingus book. Would want to peruse it before committing to buy.
	🕰 6:39pm Jeff Golick: Oh kewl.
	6:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mobile Blues" by "Cootie Williams And His Rug Cut... Love this! Never heard it before (missed this Mosaic set).
	6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:37 Dolphy + bowed bass = tears. (See also: Out to Lunch with Richard Davis)
	🕰 6:41pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Mobile Blues" by "Cootie Williams And His Rug Cut... Released under Cootie Williams's name? Hm.
	6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:41 Lots of small group recordings under the names of Cootie, Hodges, Rex Stewart...
	6:43pm doctorjazz: From the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz: It is dedicated to the variety of sounds Williams resourcefully evokes from his open horn and from the use of several mutes in several ways-manipulated plunger, on open horn, pluger over straight-mute, plunter in tight, etc. The opening section is in AABA form, but the A strain is ten measures instead of the usual eight, and each statement of A involves a sonorous and melodic variation, boh from the soloist and his accompaniment. Thus the performance becomes AA'BA". A transition then changes the key, an dWilliams states the beautiful, expansive and subsequently neglected C theme on open horn. Following that, there i a return to the truncated (six-bar) variation on A, and a rich, imaginatively extended coda of ten bars.
	🕰 6:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:41 A lot of the Ellingtonians had such sets of releases, with Duke or Strayhorn involved nonetheless.
	6:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:43 A wonderful corner of Ellingtonia!
	6:45pm doctorjazz: (That last few bars, the background horns accompanbiment is based on the theme's rhythms)
	6:48pm doctorjazz: Back in the 80s and 90s, Phil Schapp ran a club near Columbia University NYC, the West End Cafe, which specialized in musicians from the Ellington and Basie bands, and others from the era.
	6:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cool Code" by "John Hollenbeck & NDR Big Band" This is COOL!
	🕰 6:50pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @6:44 I had no idea!
	6:50pm arlo: breaking: laughing clock cracks code
	6:53pm doctorjazz: Johnny Hodges built a career between stints with Duke, even had some R&B hits.
	🕰 6:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:50 I think there is an RCA collection or two called The Ellington Small Groups. The story is that letting band members release records under their own names helped to reduce from the urge to strike out on their own.
	6:54pm DJ Peter: Hey Arlo! It ain't no thing, you just have to be up on base-12 and base-60!
	6:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:54 Though many of the stars left anyway-Cootie Williams left for Benny Goodman, Hodges had his own bands for a while, Ben Webster had his own bands and played with many other musicians.
	6:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:56 (But he always regrouped with fine replacement players)
	🕰 6:59pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Visiting Lancaster Pa. Stumbled into a dive bar that due to some legal loophole allows smoking inside. Can’t remember the last time my clothes reeked of smoke like this. 🚬
	🕰 7:00pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Not ideal, but as a one-off, kind of romantic
	7:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @6:59 I don't think I could stay, and I KNOW MsJazz would have us out of there in seconds (she wouldn't be able to breath).
	7:02pm DJ Peter: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:00 Hey Ivan -- I remember the first time in a bar in Los Angeles in 1997 or 1998 and thinking: I can see across the bar! There's a wall over there!
	7:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Domes (for Ansel Adams)" by "Mike Holober & The G... I complain (a bit) that swing/jazz rhyrhms have disappeared.. This sounds to me like an update of them, but they're there.
	🕰 7:03pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ doctorjazz @7:00 Luckily there was just a handful of smokers. No way could I tolerate a truly smoke filled room
	7:06pm DJ Peter: I may be riding the volume slider on this one -- it's up and down!
	🕰 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:03 Yes, I would enjoy the nostalgia for about 5 minutes but then want it to end.
	🕰 7:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" The rhythm section is staying politely in the background. Not!!! Man, DeJohnette is taking no prisoners.
	7:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" Henderson is killing it!
	7:10pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a mono recording, all the sound between my speakers.
	7:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:10 I take it back, hear Tyner on my right (not much separation though. Being fussy, though)
	7:11pm DJ Peter: I told you to hold onto your butts! It is indeed a stereo release, just a little. May become more apparent when Tyner solos... after another 30 or so choruses of tenor sax...
	7:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" In 'N Out, a Henderson composition (and album).
	7:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" And, available at the Blue Note site: store.bluenote.com...
	🕰 7:13pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Albeit drunk, I just caught myself thinking, this has become my favorite show on Fmu. In vino e veritas
	7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:13 Thanks Ivan! We don't keep score here, except when we do!
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: My reference for Joe Henderson is his Art of the Trio albums, which are positively leisurely. So this is shocking me somewhat.
	7:20pm doctorjazz: The Tyner solo (on my system) is very slightly right of center, so I guess it is stereo (a reflection of the live nature of the recording-at that time, "Beatles Stereo", incredibly wide separation, sometimes no center, was how pop/jazz was recorded).
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 The recording engineer is not around to tell us his mic set-up etc. This is from a 7.5 ips copy that DeJohnette asked for.
	🕰 7:29pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 Could have been a soundboard?
	7:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:29 I don't even know if Slugs' Saloon had a soundboard?! At any rate they did have a pro doing it.
	7:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Can't Stop Loving You" by "Count Basie" This is nice (when I was younger hated jazz versions of rock/pop, but they've grown on me as I've gotten to the age people were at that bought them in the 60s)
	7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:41 Ella was a prime offender...
	🕰 7:42pm Listener Gregory: One of my earliest sources of learning about jazz was the weekly broadcast of the Left Bank Jazz Society in Baltimore. They had cuts from the Basie album Li’l Old Groovemaker Basie, written and arranged by Quincy, as their opening and closing themes. I heard them every week and memorized them. The closer, Pleasingly Plump, is particularly good. In the same vein as Li’l Darlin.
	🕰 7:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sanford & Son Theme (The Streetbeater)" by "Ella ... That was fun.
	7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:44 I forgot she scatted on that one!
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "For Lena and Lennie ("Lena and Lenny")" by "Milt ... Nice- these Pablo Recordings are great!
	🕰 7:46pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @7:31 oh, right, Slugs, that place was pretty small, I think, so, yes might have been a few mics on stage.
	🕰 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "For Lena and Lennie ("Lena and Lenny")" by "Milt ... I believe this song was on the album I mentioned above.
	7:48pm Little Danny: hello peter, all!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta run, time for the Schvitz, (sauna), catch the rest tomorrow. Thanks much, DJ Peter! Night all!
	7:51pm DJ Peter: hello Danny! Thanks for the scream-o-scope last week!
	7:51pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @7:51 oh haha it is my pleasure!
	7:55pm Little Danny: loving this btw
	8:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter...listeners
	🕰 8:01pm Listener Gregory: Han, we hardly knew ye!
	8:03pm DJ Peter: tom tom! thanks for checking in!
	8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:03 👍🏻
	🕰 8:10pm Listener Gregory: Flutist hitting all the bossa nova quotes. (Not boss’s quotes, as my spellcheck insists.)
	8:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 Yeah they were going by too quick for me to catch. Well, I caught them but I didn't have time before I had to release them
	🕰 8:19pm Listener Gregory: The name of this group has perhaps not stood the test of time.
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:19 please tell me "black straight" refers to the flute.
	🕰 8:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 Well, I don’t think it refers to the leader, but who knows?
	8:26pm tom tom the pipers son: do you guys know who/what swartje pieter is?
	8:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:26 oh maybe it's a literal translation is what you're saying?
	8:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:28 no swartje pieter is black peter
	8:31pm coelacanth∅: 'evening, Peter
	🕰 8:32pm Listener Gregory: I thought the Dutch group was quite enjoyable. Not groundbreaking in any way, but a good set. That is my HUMBLE opinion.
	8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:29 I was afraid you were going to say that. It's the blackface guy who helps out Santa Clause in Holland, isn't it
	8:33pm DJ Peter: Hi coelachanthø. I was listening to a podcast about the fish-tetrapod transition and you were mentioned. Well, coelacanthes were.
	8:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:33 yes just deleted a lengthy explanation...it is quite the thing to witness first hand
	8:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 Some humility is good, but for the record I value your opinion!
	8:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:35 yikes. where did you?
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:36 in holland
	8:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:33 oh- my cousins probably. we don't actually talk.
	8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:38 they were thought to be missing for so long, but then they showed up without so much as a "by your leave"
	8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 rude is what i'm saying
	8:40pm tom tom the pipers son: actually it's zwarte piet
	🕰 8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Motherfuckin Roosevelt" by "Darius Jones" What exactly has he got against Roosevelt? Surely there are other presidents we should curse out first.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 yeah... and expected lunch for the whole lot. ...'could've called.
	8:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 my grandfather had something specifically against Roosevelt. he was poised to be appointed a supreme court judge and ol' Franklin passed on him. my grandfather then became a republican, and passed that tradition on to my father. (i Loved my grandfather but i call that petty!)
	8:51pm Jon: Loving this set 😎🎶👍🏻
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:40 looks like there has been recent backlash to get rid of zwarte piet tradition in holland
	8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jon @8:51 Hey Jon! Thanks for the good word, it means more than you know!
	🕰 8:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:49 I wonder if this is what Darius Jones had in mind. It would explain a lot.
	8:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter, have a good evening and week...
	8:58pm pot8o: thanks peter! have a great week everyone!
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Already that time? Thank you! Peter! Later folks..
	🕰 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter! Laughing through my sobs.
	9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks Jon, WR, LG, pot80, tom tom, coelacanthø, and doc in the future. I would not have guessed that Cootie Willliams would tie Tyner/Henderson for the most clicky stars tonight, but there you go.
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	10:09am doctorjazz: Got through the last hour just now, cool stuff (saw Iyer at The Vanguard not too long ago-was a bit disappointed. Mostly logistical, place was packed, wound up sitting near Tyshawn Sorey, could hardly hear the piano...) Was a bit disappointed the Ellington didn't spark more conversation-oh well, I listened to it again, I think it's brilliant! Thanks DJ Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from November 10, 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.

They seemed interesting but didn't connect. This piece connected and I listened to it every day for a while.
	🕰 6:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... “Town Hall Concert—music played on European tour.” I am not at all confused.
	6:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:13 Me too, WR
	6:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:13 I think the deal was: the European tour was a big deal but Mingus didn't have control of recordings of it. But he did record the concert before flying out and released it on his own label.
	6:18pm bigplanetnoise: Thanks for the great dinner soundtrack, DJ P!
	🕰 6:19pm Listener Gregory: Does anyone else think there is a Spanish feel to this piece?
	6:19pm DJ Peter: Hi bigplanetnoise! and thank you in advance for the "nightcap" soundtrack!
	🕰 6:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:18 I see. I have to check to see if I have this. I stopped buying Mingus some time ago when I realized it was almost all repackagings of recordings I already owned.
	6:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... This is great (dig Dolphy!)!
	6:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Pretty sure I have this (and a bunch of live recordings from around this time. Some of the European Dates did get recorded/released, if I remember correctly. I have a box set of it (someplace).
	6:26pm doctorjazz: (Company left, soup is simmering for 30-60 minutes, did a bunch of spicing/doctoring, family is off watching a movie, sitting and resting for a bit).
	6:27pm adamdoesit: I heard a little When Johnny Comes Marching Home in Mingus' solo. Apt.
	🕰 6:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:25 Yes, their Paris concert was definitely released—without authorization at first.
	6:29pm doctorjazz: Just got the Mosaic V-disc set (man, that's big! will take a bit to get through it. Just on the last CD of the Hutcherson set...)
	6:30pm DJ Peter: Amsterdam, Oslo, Copenhagen, Bremen, Paris twice, Wuppertal, Stuttgart... plus the Cornell U. concert preceding Town Hall...
	6:30pm doctorjazz: (Jets getting destroyed, what else is new...)
	6:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:30 I believe there is a 3 LP set of thst stuff (here somewhere in Chez Doctorjazz), not sure if it was an official release. Sound Quality so so if I remember, long time since I've played, or seen, it).
	🕰 6:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Welp, this about says it all. You can just see the wire cutters.
	6:35pm sailor dog: Is there an annotated version of Beneath the Underdog? Or a biography that attempts to separate myth from less-myth? Or is asking for such a thing deeply misguided
	🕰 6:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ sailor dog @6:35 His wife Sue wrote a biography, which I own but have never read.
	🕰 6:37pm WR: ↳ Song: "Meditations on Integration (Praying With Eric)" b... Mingus's bowing duet with Dolphy at the end is so sweet and loving.
	🕰 6:39pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:36 I should check to see if the library has the Sue Mingus book. Would want to peruse it before committing to buy.
	🕰 6:39pm Jeff Golick: Oh kewl.
	6:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mobile Blues" by "Cootie Williams And His Rug Cut... Love this! Never heard it before (missed this Mosaic set).
	6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:37 Dolphy + bowed bass = tears. (See also: Out to Lunch with Richard Davis)
	🕰 6:41pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Mobile Blues" by "Cootie Williams And His Rug Cut... Released under Cootie Williams's name? Hm.
	6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:41 Lots of small group recordings under the names of Cootie, Hodges, Rex Stewart...
	6:43pm doctorjazz: From the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz: It is dedicated to the variety of sounds Williams resourcefully evokes from his open horn and from the use of several mutes in several ways-manipulated plunger, on open horn, pluger over straight-mute, plunter in tight, etc. The opening section is in AABA form, but the A strain is ten measures instead of the usual eight, and each statement of A involves a sonorous and melodic variation, boh from the soloist and his accompaniment. Thus the performance becomes AA'BA". A transition then changes the key, an dWilliams states the beautiful, expansive and subsequently neglected C theme on open horn. Following that, there i a return to the truncated (six-bar) variation on A, and a rich, imaginatively extended coda of ten bars.
	🕰 6:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:41 A lot of the Ellingtonians had such sets of releases, with Duke or Strayhorn involved nonetheless.
	6:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:43 A wonderful corner of Ellingtonia!
	6:45pm doctorjazz: (That last few bars, the background horns accompanbiment is based on the theme's rhythms)
	6:48pm doctorjazz: Back in the 80s and 90s, Phil Schapp ran a club near Columbia University NYC, the West End Cafe, which specialized in musicians from the Ellington and Basie bands, and others from the era.
	6:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cool Code" by "John Hollenbeck & NDR Big Band" This is COOL!
	🕰 6:50pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @6:44 I had no idea!
	6:50pm arlo: breaking: laughing clock cracks code
	6:53pm doctorjazz: Johnny Hodges built a career between stints with Duke, even had some R&B hits.
	🕰 6:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:50 I think there is an RCA collection or two called The Ellington Small Groups. The story is that letting band members release records under their own names helped to reduce from the urge to strike out on their own.
	6:54pm DJ Peter: Hey Arlo! It ain't no thing, you just have to be up on base-12 and base-60!
	6:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:54 Though many of the stars left anyway-Cootie Williams left for Benny Goodman, Hodges had his own bands for a while, Ben Webster had his own bands and played with many other musicians.
	6:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:56 (But he always regrouped with fine replacement players)
	🕰 6:59pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Visiting Lancaster Pa. Stumbled into a dive bar that due to some legal loophole allows smoking inside. Can’t remember the last time my clothes reeked of smoke like this. 🚬
	🕰 7:00pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Not ideal, but as a one-off, kind of romantic
	7:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @6:59 I don't think I could stay, and I KNOW MsJazz would have us out of there in seconds (she wouldn't be able to breath).
	7:02pm DJ Peter: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:00 Hey Ivan -- I remember the first time in a bar in Los Angeles in 1997 or 1998 and thinking: I can see across the bar! There's a wall over there!
	7:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Domes (for Ansel Adams)" by "Mike Holober & The G... I complain (a bit) that swing/jazz rhyrhms have disappeared.. This sounds to me like an update of them, but they're there.
	🕰 7:03pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ doctorjazz @7:00 Luckily there was just a handful of smokers. No way could I tolerate a truly smoke filled room
	7:06pm DJ Peter: I may be riding the volume slider on this one -- it's up and down!
	🕰 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:03 Yes, I would enjoy the nostalgia for about 5 minutes but then want it to end.
	🕰 7:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" The rhythm section is staying politely in the background. Not!!! Man, DeJohnette is taking no prisoners.
	7:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" Henderson is killing it!
	7:10pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a mono recording, all the sound between my speakers.
	7:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:10 I take it back, hear Tyner on my right (not much separation though. Being fussy, though)
	7:11pm DJ Peter: I told you to hold onto your butts! It is indeed a stereo release, just a little. May become more apparent when Tyner solos... after another 30 or so choruses of tenor sax...
	7:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" In 'N Out, a Henderson composition (and album).
	7:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "In 'N Out" by "McCoy Tyner & Joe Henderson" And, available at the Blue Note site: store.bluenote.com...
	🕰 7:13pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Albeit drunk, I just caught myself thinking, this has become my favorite show on Fmu. In vino e veritas
	7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:13 Thanks Ivan! We don't keep score here, except when we do!
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: My reference for Joe Henderson is his Art of the Trio albums, which are positively leisurely. So this is shocking me somewhat.
	7:20pm doctorjazz: The Tyner solo (on my system) is very slightly right of center, so I guess it is stereo (a reflection of the live nature of the recording-at that time, "Beatles Stereo", incredibly wide separation, sometimes no center, was how pop/jazz was recorded).
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:20 The recording engineer is not around to tell us his mic set-up etc. This is from a 7.5 ips copy that DeJohnette asked for.
	🕰 7:29pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 Could have been a soundboard?
	7:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:29 I don't even know if Slugs' Saloon had a soundboard?! At any rate they did have a pro doing it.
	7:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "I Can't Stop Loving You" by "Count Basie" This is nice (when I was younger hated jazz versions of rock/pop, but they've grown on me as I've gotten to the age people were at that bought them in the 60s)
	7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:41 Ella was a prime offender...
	🕰 7:42pm Listener Gregory: One of my earliest sources of learning about jazz was the weekly broadcast of the Left Bank Jazz Society in Baltimore. They had cuts from the Basie album Li’l Old Groovemaker Basie, written and arranged by Quincy, as their opening and closing themes. I heard them every week and memorized them. The closer, Pleasingly Plump, is particularly good. In the same vein as Li’l Darlin.
	🕰 7:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sanford & Son Theme (The Streetbeater)" by "Ella ... That was fun.
	7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:44 I forgot she scatted on that one!
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "For Lena and Lennie ("Lena and Lenny")" by "Milt ... Nice- these Pablo Recordings are great!
	🕰 7:46pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @7:31 oh, right, Slugs, that place was pretty small, I think, so, yes might have been a few mics on stage.
	🕰 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "For Lena and Lennie ("Lena and Lenny")" by "Milt ... I believe this song was on the album I mentioned above.
	7:48pm Little Danny: hello peter, all!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta run, time for the Schvitz, (sauna), catch the rest tomorrow. Thanks much, DJ Peter! Night all!
	7:51pm DJ Peter: hello Danny! Thanks for the scream-o-scope last week!
	7:51pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @7:51 oh haha it is my pleasure!
	7:55pm Little Danny: loving this btw
	8:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peter...listeners
	🕰 8:01pm Listener Gregory: Han, we hardly knew ye!
	8:03pm DJ Peter: tom tom! thanks for checking in!
	8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:03 👍🏻
	🕰 8:10pm Listener Gregory: Flutist hitting all the bossa nova quotes. (Not boss’s quotes, as my spellcheck insists.)
	8:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 Yeah they were going by too quick for me to catch. Well, I caught them but I didn't have time before I had to release them
	🕰 8:19pm Listener Gregory: The name of this group has perhaps not stood the test of time.
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:19 please tell me "black straight" refers to the flute.
	🕰 8:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 Well, I don’t think it refers to the leader, but who knows?
	8:26pm tom tom the pipers son: do you guys know who/what swartje pieter is?
	8:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:26 oh maybe it's a literal translation is what you're saying?
	8:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:28 no swartje pieter is black peter
	8:31pm coelacanth∅: 'evening, Peter
	🕰 8:32pm Listener Gregory: I thought the Dutch group was quite enjoyable. Not groundbreaking in any way, but a good set. That is my HUMBLE opinion.
	8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:29 I was afraid you were going to say that. It's the blackface guy who helps out Santa Clause in Holland, isn't it
	8:33pm DJ Peter: Hi coelachanthø. I was listening to a podcast about the fish-tetrapod transition and you were mentioned. Well, coelacanthes were.
	8:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:33 yes just deleted a lengthy explanation...it is quite the thing to witness first hand
	8:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 Some humility is good, but for the record I value your opinion!
	8:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:35 yikes. where did you?
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:36 in holland
	8:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:33 oh- my cousins probably. we don't actually talk.
	8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:38 they were thought to be missing for so long, but then they showed up without so much as a "by your leave"
	8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 rude is what i'm saying
	8:40pm tom tom the pipers son: actually it's zwarte piet
	🕰 8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Motherfuckin Roosevelt" by "Darius Jones" What exactly has he got against Roosevelt? Surely there are other presidents we should curse out first.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:39 yeah... and expected lunch for the whole lot. ...'could've called.
	8:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 my grandfather had something specifically against Roosevelt. he was poised to be appointed a supreme court judge and ol' Franklin passed on him. my grandfather then became a republican, and passed that tradition on to my father. (i Loved my grandfather but i call that petty!)
	8:51pm Jon: Loving this set 😎🎶👍🏻
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:40 looks like there has been recent backlash to get rid of zwarte piet tradition in holland
	8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jon @8:51 Hey Jon! Thanks for the good word, it means more than you know!
	🕰 8:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:49 I wonder if this is what Darius Jones had in mind. It would explain a lot.
	8:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks peter, have a good evening and week...
	8:58pm pot8o: thanks peter! have a great week everyone!
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Already that time? Thank you! Peter! Later folks..
	🕰 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter! Laughing through my sobs.
	9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks Jon, WR, LG, pot80, tom tom, coelacanthø, and doc in the future. I would not have guessed that Cootie Willliams would tie Tyner/Henderson for the most clicky stars tonight, but there you go.
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	10:09am doctorjazz: Got through the last hour just now, cool stuff (saw Iyer at The Vanguard not too long ago-was a bit disappointed. Mostly logistical, place was packed, wound up sitting near Tyshawn Sorey, could hardly hear the piano...) Was a bit disappointed the Ellington didn't spark more conversation-oh well, I listened to it again, I think it's brilliant! Thanks DJ Peter!
