WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 23, 2025

Listener comments!
	6:00pm ChristinaInCanada: Greetings! Raining here, preparing beer bread to go with the chili.
	6:01pm Listener Gregory: The sound of Count Basie means it's time to make soup!
	♥ 6:02pm luka: good evening. green beans and five-spice tofu. feel better, DJ.
	♥ 6:05pm DJ Peter: this is the best potluck! Welcome ChristinaInCanada, Listener Gregory (and thanks for the photo), and luka! Yun
	♥ 6:05pm Nardo: Not cooking but about to chow down on Pita with hummus, baba and assorted veggies.
	♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: It's fine to bring store-bought food to the potluck, I always say. Don't be a food martyr, Nardo!
	♥ 6:08pm WR: hello Peter and folks
	♥ 6:08pm DJ Peter: WR, did you bring ice? Always need ice!
	6:09pm ChristinaInCanada: I am going to make soups later in the week. DJ Peter, your cold must be atrocious: my child also has a cold and that did not stop him from eating over half the blueberry muffins baked this morning.
	♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @6:09 i have an appetite (craving protein) for sure. just not the greatest appreciation for flavor
	6:12pm ChristinaInCanada: My virus relief concoction: lemon slices and a thumbworth of chopped ginger in a pan of water; bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes. Pour into a mug with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and some honey. Finish with a splash of cayenne .
	♥ 6:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @6:12 that sounds good, lots of anti-inflammatories. i've just been drinking lots of water and taking a zinc table periodically
	♥ 6:14pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Democracy" by "Noah Preminger" Hey DJ Peter and horologists. This Democracy strikes an appropriately melancholy and guardedly hopeful tone.
	♥ 6:16pm adamdoesit: I'm making butter chicken (chicken makhani). I've already gone off-recipe. I can't help it.
	♥ 6:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:14 well put, adamdoesit. democracy and makhani are about improvisation after all
	6:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:16 Well, you probably shouldn't improvise on what the law is, IMHO.
	6:18pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ DJ Peter @6:13 Your regimen seems curative and wise. My concoction is for soothing symptom relief only. I'm sticking to water today.
	♥ 6:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:18 improvisation always involves form or at least shared expectations.
	♥ 6:32pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	♥ 6:33pm DJ Peter: coelacanthø! The polish on that auto-mobile is blinding!
	♥ 6:33pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 6:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @6:33 Who said that?... Who's there?!. . .
	6:35pm newton: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @6:12 hmm, my recipe is different. do you measure the length of the thumb or the width? I use the length of the thumb of ginger and put the spoonfull of cayenne in at the start. Also a spoonful of whole cloves. squeeze the whole lemon and throw it in too. simmer in 3 cups water for half an hour. strain. add honey. mix in equal parts with meyer's dark rum. drink down as hot as you can stand it. get in bed.
	6:35pm Listener Gregory: Low mic?
	♥ 6:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:35 yes
	6:36pm Listener Gregory: Don is dominating you! Much better!
	6:38pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ newton @6:35 Quantity, and the addition of cloves and meyer's dark rum are the differences I see. I use a thumb-half, to be truthful. The ginger width more than the length.
	6:39pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ newton @6:35 My recipe is for 8 - 12 ounces.
	♥ 6:41pm DJ Peter: hello newton, pot9o! newton: Christina is too polite to say, but you measure both the length and the girth of the ginger
	6:41pm Jeff g. via app: Greetings from the Massachusetts turnpike!
	♥ 6:41pm coelacanth∅: EXACTLY, Peter. the good fight is borne out of Love. even a passionate desire for the a.s.a.p. demise of those enemies of the majority is borne out of Love. ...no desire for pain or vengeance for these people; just for them to be transformed into lush rainforest.
	♥ 6:43pm DJ Peter: hello Jeff, travel safe!
	6:53pm Listener Gregory: I have lost a bag of carrots! Or was it all just a dream?
	♥ 6:55pm DJ Peter: did you check in your car?
	7:01pm newton: o, look at that, I have a bag of carrots
	♥ 7:02pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:01 if you have a tophat, check it for a rabbit too
	♥ 7:03pm newton: no tophat, just a knitted cap. I did see rabbit tracks in the snow out front, so seems there is a rabbit about
	7:06pm ChristinaInCanada: Mumbled seminon sequitur: In my complicated dream today were my mom's photo ID (today is the 26th anniversary of her passing) and Gloria Swanson. Ms. Swanson's appearance led me to revisit her husband William Dufty's book _Sugar Blues_ and plan mostly vegetable soups with Japanese sea vegetables (kombu, wakame) this next week.
	7:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:55 Not yet. I had some spares that I used. It may be that I thought of buying them and decided I didn't need them. A week later... Oh, this soup will help me use those carrots! Thanks for playing this Surman, DJP. It's really a shame it wasn't released earlier.
	♥ 7:12pm pot8o: surprised you played nothing from porgy and bess for acid jazz hands
	♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @7:12 maybe next time!
	♥ 7:14pm newton: did you say 196?
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: Wait Gloria Swanson was married to William Dufty? As it happens, I (re)watched Airplane 75 two nights ago, with Gloria Swanson playing herself and indeed herself writing a book (memoir)
	7:15pm ChristinaInCanada: I heard 196 keys. Too much piano I guess. 2 x 88 = 176
	7:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:08 DAMN IT! There they are! How did I miss them? DJP, you will have to declare me incompetent and take over my supervision (i.e., make me soup).
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:14 is that 2 x 88?
	7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:15 Oops, scratch that! Newton, you will have to declare me incompetent and make soup, etc. DJP also seems to be suffering.
	7:18pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 Yes, you undoubtedly know Dufty as a biographer of Billie Holiday.
	♥ 7:18pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:16 I can make soup. Already I have atilla quart of black bean soop and 3 quarts chikkin soop in the freezer, and carrots celery and onions ready to go!
	♥ 7:19pm newton: I cant account for atilla's presence in the above post
	♥ 7:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:18 exactly, you know me well
	7:21pm ChristinaInCanada: At least an iota of kinship. I do listen to your show, and I peeked at the photo that shows a few box sets of artists including my compatriot Glenn Gould
	7:22pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, newton! You and Atilla can split the duties.
	♥ 7:28pm WR: I'm back with some ice. Curious that in this north hemisphere time of cold weather every place was out of ice.
	♥ 7:28pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Night and Day" by "Art Tatum" God is in the house. That Solal/Hawes track was a lot of piano, almost as much as Tatum could play with one hand tied behind his back, but I don't think I've ever listened to a recording and thought, "that's too much piano!"
	7:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @7:28 Actually, I usually find piano duos confusing. Who is doing what exactly? And following the individual lines is taxing.
	♥ 7:29pm newton: ↳ WR @7:28 I wish I could say something like, when I need ice I go to Harry Winston, but I've never been. Then too, maybe I've never needed ice!
	♥ 7:31pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:29 I usually take them for one piano til I'm told it's two. Once I wake up to the pianistic duplicity, I'd like to think that Marian McPartland's radio show gave me for a feel for who's doing what.
	♥ 7:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:18 i know Dufty from sugar blues. we recommended that book a lot in a store i worked in in the '90s. didn't know of a connection with Gloria Swanson. that name was a household word when i was little but i don't remember what she looked like.
	7:33pm Listener Gregory: It must have been hard to play with Tatum, with your head spinning around in circles all the time. What a force!
	7:35pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:31 Gloria Swanson changed Dufty's life by commenting to him he should dump the sugar. He lost 74 pounds taking her health advice but gained a 98-lb Gloria Swanson.
	♥ 7:36pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Night and Day" by "The Art Tatum/Ben Webster Quar... aka Tatum Group Masterpieces volume 8 (thought it sounded familiar, looked it up).
	♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:36 Yes, I have both of these in a Pablo collection
	♥ 7:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:35 haha...was gaining a Gloria Swanson a bad thing?!
	♥ 7:39pm doctorjazz: Been listening in transit (Cousins gathering in Middletown, NY (almost a 2 hour drive). Fine stuff, LOVE all this Tatum (have the Group Masterpieces and Solo Masterpieces, but nice to hear them. Webster and Tatum make a particular stiking contrast). And Hi DJ Petter and clock watchers!
	7:40pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:38 No, Bill Dufty and Gloriaremained married until she died. They made several tv appearances crusading for a sugar-free diet.
	♥ 7:41pm doctorjazz: Liked the 2 piano track (had the impression the piano sound was not great, but that could be my hearing aids, lots of stuff sounds harsh since i got them. They boost the highs, but my brain hasn't adjusted yet).
	♥ 7:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:40 that book helped many people. i got it, but never read it! i already was on board so it was kind of pointless.
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello DJ Peter! Hello everyone else! I've been listening and lurking while I cook soup. Your show is providing a good soundtrack for the culinary arts.
	♥ 7:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:43 olá Wendy
	♥ 7:44pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:42 the Archies made it hard for me to get sugar free, still a struggle, but much better than I was as a young imp
	♥ 7:44pm doctorjazz: Oh, and MsJazz thanks you for the Holly Cole (someone tell me what a Huckleberry Friend is...)
	♥ 7:45pm adamdoesit: Makhani wasn't my best… out of two. Pretty good though. Second go's often the least, I find. Onward and upward next time.
	🕰 ♥ 7:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:44 Olá coela!
	♥ 7:46pm newton: ↳ doctorjazz @7:44 like huckleberry finn to tom
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @7:44 I was wondering that, too. When you figure it out, lemme know! Okay, back to stirring the soup...
	♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:43 So. Much. Soup! (It is winter after allO
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:44 i consume far too much aw honey honey
	♥ 7:47pm DJ Peter: Hi Doctorjazz! A friend of mine loves his hearing aide for just that reason (more treble), I"m sure you will adjust. The brain is amazingly adaptable
	♥ 7:48pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:47 have you tried yinny syrup?
	7:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Reconstruction" by "Frank Carlberg" A year ago I had never heard of Carlson. Since then I am aware of three records he has put out (in that time). What gives? His Monk tribute was pretty good, I thought.
	♥ 7:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:48 that's rice syrup, right? haven't heard it called that in a few decades! but back in the day i used it...when i could get expensive "health foods" at wholesale. i ended up using 4X more of it to get the sweetness i was accustomed to.
	8:03pm Listener Gregory: Peter, did I understand you to say that you're going to play the whole Carlberg album? Maybe you meant on successive shows.
	♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:03 gonna play the whole side of a whole 'nother album next
	♥ 8:04pm doctorjazz: Will catch the rest tomorrow, time to Schvitz, night all, thanks Peter!
	♥ 8:05pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:57 yes rice. admittedly it was stupidly expensive even back in the 80s, and didnt have comparable sweetening power. Just something I knew about, I dont use it. I get a 5 lb jar of raw honey from Champlain valley apiaries about every other month, and have since I discovered it in 1982. At least I dont keep white sugar in the house
	♥ 8:05pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:43 wendy!
	🕰 ♥ 8:11pm Little Danny: hello peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:12pm Little Danny: dang nice dirty guitar tone
	8:12pm Listener Gregory: I love this idea of the Japanese cafe, but I need to get up early tomorrow, so better make my cappuccino a decaf, please.
	8:13pm Listener Gregory: Also, WAS Count Basie's Harlem lounge famous? It doesn't ring a bell for me.
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:12 Hey Danny!
	♥ 8:13pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:12 Do they use vacuum coffee pots
	♥ 8:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:05 i've never kept white sugar in the house, since i was 18 - but plenty of sweetener. honey and maple syrup...got a bottle of agave syrup once but didn't like it much; and someone left some granulated whole sugar cane, which i ended up using in "chinese" stir fries and in hot chocolate. - but lately i've been BAD with the bakery cookies. bad.
	♥ 8:14pm chresti: ↳ chresti @8:13 *?
	♥ 8:15pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:13 Lennox Lounge maybe?
	♥ 8:16pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:14 coconut sugar, sometimes
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:13 I don't know how famous it was, I'll have to look up how long it was in operation. But basically it was playing bar band music, nothing innovative and not trying to be. Bob Porter has a book, Soul Jazz, about how regular old Black musicians are underappreciated
	♥ 8:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:05 i remember when "clif bars" first came on the market. they were sweetened with only rice syrup, and were only subtly sweet. they were Excellent. but of course they eventually realised they could sell a lot more of them if they were twice as sweet; and they could cut their production costs in half if they used a less wholesome, potentially more harmful sweetener. same thing happened with these wonderful "rice crispy treats" we sold. they switched to barley malt - which isn't so bad, but there goes all the gluten-free customers. and they just didn't taste as good. i doubt they're in business now.
	♥ 8:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:16 anything you specifically use that for?
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:13 Hey chresti -- the "jazz kissaten" you mean? Probably back in the day. But today there's an intense coffee culture in japan, where they do pourovers with precisely heated water, often though a cloth filter (which is supposed to be the best, but difficult to clean)
	8:25pm Listener Gregory: I hope they play Moon River.
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:16 how is the book? i agree with this premise
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:25 it's a bit of a slog (not great prose) -- very much "this guy recorded for this label; next year he recorded for this other label. he had a minor hit with XYZ." very encyclopedia entry
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: There were many local clubs that played jazz out of the spotlight, mostly by local musicians. They didn’t get the BlueNote recordings but played a valuable part in the jazz infrastructure.
	🕰 ♥ 8:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @8:05 pot8o!
	♥ 8:29pm DJ Peter: I'm paging through it now and Basie's "as told to" autobio to see if they talk about the club... but the indexes are terrible
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:27 thanks for review! but can totally imagine, and too bad, too—it's such an interesting lost world
	🕰 ♥ 8:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 I make soup probably more than anything else. It's one of life's great pleasures.
	8:31pm Listener Gregory: My lentil spinach soup has turned out well in spite of a carrot debacle. However, I am looking down and seeing a significant portion of the soup on my front. Oops.
	8:36pm Listener Gregory: I heard a pickup local big band play the Basie arrangement of April in Paris, and in person it had the audience leaning back in its seat from the force of the music. That’s something big band recordings can’t quite capture.
	♥ 8:36pm adamdoesit: Front soup > back soup. Got to peel off here. Thank you, DJ Peter.
	🕰 ♥ 8:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 @LG: A carrot debacle? Oh no! Your soup-down-your-front thing is why I always carry a bandanna. I'm not too proud to admit I am going to be 51 in 6 weeks and I still require a bib. Also, do you puree your lentils? I had some really good red lentil / squash soup from Orchard Hill (Alstead, NH) and they pureed the lentils and it was awesome.
	♥ 8:39pm newton: clandestine carrots
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:39 renaming today's show now
	8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "No More" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" Meals Ready to Eat! Great group.
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:40 haha!
	8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:37 I think the soup on my sweatshirt was mostly spatter during cooking. Oh well. I didn't puree. The recipe called for it, but I lost the will to live about 8 o'clock and decided to just eat it then. And I don't regret it! The soup is slightly al dente, which I enjoy.
	♥ 8:45pm pot8o: i made bread for the first time last night, Irish soda bread it was a nightmare to make but it turned out really good so im not complaining
	♥ 8:46pm newton: ↳ pot8o @8:45 Irish Soda Bread is lovely. Used to make lemon curd sandwiches on it with mushroom and mung bean sprouts
	♥ 8:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:22 i use a cloth filter. it doubles as a t-shirt!
	♥ 8:50pm coelacanth∅: i REALLY want lentil soup now.
	♥ 8:50pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "I'm All Smiles" by "Lew Tabakin" released a really good album with toshiko akiyoshi called road time
	♥ 8:50pm newton: I had a teacher once who told me my homework was to sing the tenor sax parts!
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @8:50 love that record! hmmm... maybe next week!
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: I just put the soup out on my back entrance to cool. There's a foot of snow on it, and it started to slide towards the stairs! I caught it in time. That would have been a nice boon to the local raccoons.
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 but how would they have washed it?
	8:52pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ Song: "The Third Man Theme" by "Roy Smeck and His All-St... What a sweet penultimate conclusion. We're enjoying our dinner right now, I'll be making soup galore this week.
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:51 I can't solve all their problems.
	♥ 8:53pm mdashkin: Huge fan of Roy Smeck, here! Always fun to hear him!
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ mdashkin @8:53 Wow! I shoulda figured that the best place to find a fellow Smeck Fan would be 'FMU!
	8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "On the Sunny Side of the Street" by "Clarence Wil... I would love to play the piano while smoking a huge cigar like that. Man, those were the days.
	8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "On the Sunny Side of the Street" by "Clarence Wil... There is a good substack on the underappreciated players of the washboard. Let me see if I can find the link...
	♥ 8:58pm pot8o: thanks dj peter! have a great week everyone!
	8:58pm ChristinaInCanada: Thanks for a companionable set, DJ Peter. And thanks everyone for the dazzling chatter.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks for a fun time, Peter! Have a good week, everyone.
	♥ 8:59pm newton: thanks DjPeter, how you're feeling better
	🕰 ♥ 8:59pm Little Danny: thanks peter, what a pleasure!
	♥ 9:00pm newton: hope
	♥ 9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	♥ 9:00pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter! for the sounds. Thanks all for the soup and cold remedy swap talk.
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: thanks everybody! i'll bounce back. keep fighting the GOOD fight!
	♥ 9:00pm chresti: Thanks dj Peter!
	♥ 10:09am doctorjazz: There actually is (or at least there was-not sure if it's still open) an LP listening club/bar in NYC called All Blues, modelled after the Japanese spots (I think there may be one in Brooklyn as well). allbluesnyc.com... Smeck was amazing on the Clarence William's track, killer slide! Thanks, DJ Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 23, 2025

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.

Listener comments!
	6:00pm ChristinaInCanada: Greetings! Raining here, preparing beer bread to go with the chili.
	6:01pm Listener Gregory: The sound of Count Basie means it's time to make soup!
	♥ 6:02pm luka: good evening. green beans and five-spice tofu. feel better, DJ.
	♥ 6:05pm DJ Peter: this is the best potluck! Welcome ChristinaInCanada, Listener Gregory (and thanks for the photo), and luka! Yun
	♥ 6:05pm Nardo: Not cooking but about to chow down on Pita with hummus, baba and assorted veggies.
	♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: It's fine to bring store-bought food to the potluck, I always say. Don't be a food martyr, Nardo!
	♥ 6:08pm WR: hello Peter and folks
	♥ 6:08pm DJ Peter: WR, did you bring ice? Always need ice!
	6:09pm ChristinaInCanada: I am going to make soups later in the week. DJ Peter, your cold must be atrocious: my child also has a cold and that did not stop him from eating over half the blueberry muffins baked this morning.
	♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @6:09 i have an appetite (craving protein) for sure. just not the greatest appreciation for flavor
	6:12pm ChristinaInCanada: My virus relief concoction: lemon slices and a thumbworth of chopped ginger in a pan of water; bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes. Pour into a mug with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and some honey. Finish with a splash of cayenne .
	♥ 6:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @6:12 that sounds good, lots of anti-inflammatories. i've just been drinking lots of water and taking a zinc table periodically
	♥ 6:14pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Democracy" by "Noah Preminger" Hey DJ Peter and horologists. This Democracy strikes an appropriately melancholy and guardedly hopeful tone.
	♥ 6:16pm adamdoesit: I'm making butter chicken (chicken makhani). I've already gone off-recipe. I can't help it.
	♥ 6:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:14 well put, adamdoesit. democracy and makhani are about improvisation after all
	6:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:16 Well, you probably shouldn't improvise on what the law is, IMHO.
	6:18pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ DJ Peter @6:13 Your regimen seems curative and wise. My concoction is for soothing symptom relief only. I'm sticking to water today.
	♥ 6:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:18 improvisation always involves form or at least shared expectations.
	♥ 6:32pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	♥ 6:33pm DJ Peter: coelacanthø! The polish on that auto-mobile is blinding!
	♥ 6:33pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 6:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @6:33 Who said that?... Who's there?!. . .
	6:35pm newton: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @6:12 hmm, my recipe is different. do you measure the length of the thumb or the width? I use the length of the thumb of ginger and put the spoonfull of cayenne in at the start. Also a spoonful of whole cloves. squeeze the whole lemon and throw it in too. simmer in 3 cups water for half an hour. strain. add honey. mix in equal parts with meyer's dark rum. drink down as hot as you can stand it. get in bed.
	6:35pm Listener Gregory: Low mic?
	♥ 6:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:35 yes
	6:36pm Listener Gregory: Don is dominating you! Much better!
	6:38pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ newton @6:35 Quantity, and the addition of cloves and meyer's dark rum are the differences I see. I use a thumb-half, to be truthful. The ginger width more than the length.
	6:39pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ newton @6:35 My recipe is for 8 - 12 ounces.
	♥ 6:41pm DJ Peter: hello newton, pot9o! newton: Christina is too polite to say, but you measure both the length and the girth of the ginger
	6:41pm Jeff g. via app: Greetings from the Massachusetts turnpike!
	♥ 6:41pm coelacanth∅: EXACTLY, Peter. the good fight is borne out of Love. even a passionate desire for the a.s.a.p. demise of those enemies of the majority is borne out of Love. ...no desire for pain or vengeance for these people; just for them to be transformed into lush rainforest.
	♥ 6:43pm DJ Peter: hello Jeff, travel safe!
	6:53pm Listener Gregory: I have lost a bag of carrots! Or was it all just a dream?
	♥ 6:55pm DJ Peter: did you check in your car?
	7:01pm newton: o, look at that, I have a bag of carrots
	♥ 7:02pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:01 if you have a tophat, check it for a rabbit too
	♥ 7:03pm newton: no tophat, just a knitted cap. I did see rabbit tracks in the snow out front, so seems there is a rabbit about
	7:06pm ChristinaInCanada: Mumbled seminon sequitur: In my complicated dream today were my mom's photo ID (today is the 26th anniversary of her passing) and Gloria Swanson. Ms. Swanson's appearance led me to revisit her husband William Dufty's book _Sugar Blues_ and plan mostly vegetable soups with Japanese sea vegetables (kombu, wakame) this next week.
	7:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:55 Not yet. I had some spares that I used. It may be that I thought of buying them and decided I didn't need them. A week later... Oh, this soup will help me use those carrots! Thanks for playing this Surman, DJP. It's really a shame it wasn't released earlier.
	♥ 7:12pm pot8o: surprised you played nothing from porgy and bess for acid jazz hands
	♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @7:12 maybe next time!
	♥ 7:14pm newton: did you say 196?
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: Wait Gloria Swanson was married to William Dufty? As it happens, I (re)watched Airplane 75 two nights ago, with Gloria Swanson playing herself and indeed herself writing a book (memoir)
	7:15pm ChristinaInCanada: I heard 196 keys. Too much piano I guess. 2 x 88 = 176
	7:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:08 DAMN IT! There they are! How did I miss them? DJP, you will have to declare me incompetent and take over my supervision (i.e., make me soup).
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:14 is that 2 x 88?
	7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:15 Oops, scratch that! Newton, you will have to declare me incompetent and make soup, etc. DJP also seems to be suffering.
	7:18pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 Yes, you undoubtedly know Dufty as a biographer of Billie Holiday.
	♥ 7:18pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:16 I can make soup. Already I have atilla quart of black bean soop and 3 quarts chikkin soop in the freezer, and carrots celery and onions ready to go!
	♥ 7:19pm newton: I cant account for atilla's presence in the above post
	♥ 7:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:18 exactly, you know me well
	7:21pm ChristinaInCanada: At least an iota of kinship. I do listen to your show, and I peeked at the photo that shows a few box sets of artists including my compatriot Glenn Gould
	7:22pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, newton! You and Atilla can split the duties.
	♥ 7:28pm WR: I'm back with some ice. Curious that in this north hemisphere time of cold weather every place was out of ice.
	♥ 7:28pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Night and Day" by "Art Tatum" God is in the house. That Solal/Hawes track was a lot of piano, almost as much as Tatum could play with one hand tied behind his back, but I don't think I've ever listened to a recording and thought, "that's too much piano!"
	7:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @7:28 Actually, I usually find piano duos confusing. Who is doing what exactly? And following the individual lines is taxing.
	♥ 7:29pm newton: ↳ WR @7:28 I wish I could say something like, when I need ice I go to Harry Winston, but I've never been. Then too, maybe I've never needed ice!
	♥ 7:31pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:29 I usually take them for one piano til I'm told it's two. Once I wake up to the pianistic duplicity, I'd like to think that Marian McPartland's radio show gave me for a feel for who's doing what.
	♥ 7:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:18 i know Dufty from sugar blues. we recommended that book a lot in a store i worked in in the '90s. didn't know of a connection with Gloria Swanson. that name was a household word when i was little but i don't remember what she looked like.
	7:33pm Listener Gregory: It must have been hard to play with Tatum, with your head spinning around in circles all the time. What a force!
	7:35pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:31 Gloria Swanson changed Dufty's life by commenting to him he should dump the sugar. He lost 74 pounds taking her health advice but gained a 98-lb Gloria Swanson.
	♥ 7:36pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Night and Day" by "The Art Tatum/Ben Webster Quar... aka Tatum Group Masterpieces volume 8 (thought it sounded familiar, looked it up).
	♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:36 Yes, I have both of these in a Pablo collection
	♥ 7:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:35 haha...was gaining a Gloria Swanson a bad thing?!
	♥ 7:39pm doctorjazz: Been listening in transit (Cousins gathering in Middletown, NY (almost a 2 hour drive). Fine stuff, LOVE all this Tatum (have the Group Masterpieces and Solo Masterpieces, but nice to hear them. Webster and Tatum make a particular stiking contrast). And Hi DJ Petter and clock watchers!
	7:40pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:38 No, Bill Dufty and Gloriaremained married until she died. They made several tv appearances crusading for a sugar-free diet.
	♥ 7:41pm doctorjazz: Liked the 2 piano track (had the impression the piano sound was not great, but that could be my hearing aids, lots of stuff sounds harsh since i got them. They boost the highs, but my brain hasn't adjusted yet).
	♥ 7:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @7:40 that book helped many people. i got it, but never read it! i already was on board so it was kind of pointless.
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello DJ Peter! Hello everyone else! I've been listening and lurking while I cook soup. Your show is providing a good soundtrack for the culinary arts.
	♥ 7:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:43 olá Wendy
	♥ 7:44pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:42 the Archies made it hard for me to get sugar free, still a struggle, but much better than I was as a young imp
	♥ 7:44pm doctorjazz: Oh, and MsJazz thanks you for the Holly Cole (someone tell me what a Huckleberry Friend is...)
	♥ 7:45pm adamdoesit: Makhani wasn't my best… out of two. Pretty good though. Second go's often the least, I find. Onward and upward next time.
	🕰 ♥ 7:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:44 Olá coela!
	♥ 7:46pm newton: ↳ doctorjazz @7:44 like huckleberry finn to tom
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @7:44 I was wondering that, too. When you figure it out, lemme know! Okay, back to stirring the soup...
	♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:43 So. Much. Soup! (It is winter after allO
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:44 i consume far too much aw honey honey
	♥ 7:47pm DJ Peter: Hi Doctorjazz! A friend of mine loves his hearing aide for just that reason (more treble), I"m sure you will adjust. The brain is amazingly adaptable
	♥ 7:48pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:47 have you tried yinny syrup?
	7:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Reconstruction" by "Frank Carlberg" A year ago I had never heard of Carlson. Since then I am aware of three records he has put out (in that time). What gives? His Monk tribute was pretty good, I thought.
	♥ 7:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:48 that's rice syrup, right? haven't heard it called that in a few decades! but back in the day i used it...when i could get expensive "health foods" at wholesale. i ended up using 4X more of it to get the sweetness i was accustomed to.
	8:03pm Listener Gregory: Peter, did I understand you to say that you're going to play the whole Carlberg album? Maybe you meant on successive shows.
	♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:03 gonna play the whole side of a whole 'nother album next
	♥ 8:04pm doctorjazz: Will catch the rest tomorrow, time to Schvitz, night all, thanks Peter!
	♥ 8:05pm newton: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:57 yes rice. admittedly it was stupidly expensive even back in the 80s, and didnt have comparable sweetening power. Just something I knew about, I dont use it. I get a 5 lb jar of raw honey from Champlain valley apiaries about every other month, and have since I discovered it in 1982. At least I dont keep white sugar in the house
	♥ 8:05pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @7:43 wendy!
	🕰 ♥ 8:11pm Little Danny: hello peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:12pm Little Danny: dang nice dirty guitar tone
	8:12pm Listener Gregory: I love this idea of the Japanese cafe, but I need to get up early tomorrow, so better make my cappuccino a decaf, please.
	8:13pm Listener Gregory: Also, WAS Count Basie's Harlem lounge famous? It doesn't ring a bell for me.
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:12 Hey Danny!
	♥ 8:13pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:12 Do they use vacuum coffee pots
	♥ 8:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:05 i've never kept white sugar in the house, since i was 18 - but plenty of sweetener. honey and maple syrup...got a bottle of agave syrup once but didn't like it much; and someone left some granulated whole sugar cane, which i ended up using in "chinese" stir fries and in hot chocolate. - but lately i've been BAD with the bakery cookies. bad.
	♥ 8:14pm chresti: ↳ chresti @8:13 *?
	♥ 8:15pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:13 Lennox Lounge maybe?
	♥ 8:16pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:14 coconut sugar, sometimes
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:13 I don't know how famous it was, I'll have to look up how long it was in operation. But basically it was playing bar band music, nothing innovative and not trying to be. Bob Porter has a book, Soul Jazz, about how regular old Black musicians are underappreciated
	♥ 8:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @8:05 i remember when "clif bars" first came on the market. they were sweetened with only rice syrup, and were only subtly sweet. they were Excellent. but of course they eventually realised they could sell a lot more of them if they were twice as sweet; and they could cut their production costs in half if they used a less wholesome, potentially more harmful sweetener. same thing happened with these wonderful "rice crispy treats" we sold. they switched to barley malt - which isn't so bad, but there goes all the gluten-free customers. and they just didn't taste as good. i doubt they're in business now.
	♥ 8:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @8:16 anything you specifically use that for?
	♥ 8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ chresti @8:13 Hey chresti -- the "jazz kissaten" you mean? Probably back in the day. But today there's an intense coffee culture in japan, where they do pourovers with precisely heated water, often though a cloth filter (which is supposed to be the best, but difficult to clean)
	8:25pm Listener Gregory: I hope they play Moon River.
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:16 how is the book? i agree with this premise
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:25 it's a bit of a slog (not great prose) -- very much "this guy recorded for this label; next year he recorded for this other label. he had a minor hit with XYZ." very encyclopedia entry
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: There were many local clubs that played jazz out of the spotlight, mostly by local musicians. They didn’t get the BlueNote recordings but played a valuable part in the jazz infrastructure.
	🕰 ♥ 8:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @8:05 pot8o!
	♥ 8:29pm DJ Peter: I'm paging through it now and Basie's "as told to" autobio to see if they talk about the club... but the indexes are terrible
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:27 thanks for review! but can totally imagine, and too bad, too—it's such an interesting lost world
	🕰 ♥ 8:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 I make soup probably more than anything else. It's one of life's great pleasures.
	8:31pm Listener Gregory: My lentil spinach soup has turned out well in spite of a carrot debacle. However, I am looking down and seeing a significant portion of the soup on my front. Oops.
	8:36pm Listener Gregory: I heard a pickup local big band play the Basie arrangement of April in Paris, and in person it had the audience leaning back in its seat from the force of the music. That’s something big band recordings can’t quite capture.
	♥ 8:36pm adamdoesit: Front soup > back soup. Got to peel off here. Thank you, DJ Peter.
	🕰 ♥ 8:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:31 @LG: A carrot debacle? Oh no! Your soup-down-your-front thing is why I always carry a bandanna. I'm not too proud to admit I am going to be 51 in 6 weeks and I still require a bib. Also, do you puree your lentils? I had some really good red lentil / squash soup from Orchard Hill (Alstead, NH) and they pureed the lentils and it was awesome.
	♥ 8:39pm newton: clandestine carrots
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:39 renaming today's show now
	8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "No More" by "Music Revelation Ensemble" Meals Ready to Eat! Great group.
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Peter @8:40 haha!
	8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @8:37 I think the soup on my sweatshirt was mostly spatter during cooking. Oh well. I didn't puree. The recipe called for it, but I lost the will to live about 8 o'clock and decided to just eat it then. And I don't regret it! The soup is slightly al dente, which I enjoy.
	♥ 8:45pm pot8o: i made bread for the first time last night, Irish soda bread it was a nightmare to make but it turned out really good so im not complaining
	♥ 8:46pm newton: ↳ pot8o @8:45 Irish Soda Bread is lovely. Used to make lemon curd sandwiches on it with mushroom and mung bean sprouts
	♥ 8:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:22 i use a cloth filter. it doubles as a t-shirt!
	♥ 8:50pm coelacanth∅: i REALLY want lentil soup now.
	♥ 8:50pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "I'm All Smiles" by "Lew Tabakin" released a really good album with toshiko akiyoshi called road time
	♥ 8:50pm newton: I had a teacher once who told me my homework was to sing the tenor sax parts!
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @8:50 love that record! hmmm... maybe next week!
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: I just put the soup out on my back entrance to cool. There's a foot of snow on it, and it started to slide towards the stairs! I caught it in time. That would have been a nice boon to the local raccoons.
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 but how would they have washed it?
	8:52pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ Song: "The Third Man Theme" by "Roy Smeck and His All-St... What a sweet penultimate conclusion. We're enjoying our dinner right now, I'll be making soup galore this week.
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:51 I can't solve all their problems.
	♥ 8:53pm mdashkin: Huge fan of Roy Smeck, here! Always fun to hear him!
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ mdashkin @8:53 Wow! I shoulda figured that the best place to find a fellow Smeck Fan would be 'FMU!
	8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "On the Sunny Side of the Street" by "Clarence Wil... I would love to play the piano while smoking a huge cigar like that. Man, those were the days.
	8:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "On the Sunny Side of the Street" by "Clarence Wil... There is a good substack on the underappreciated players of the washboard. Let me see if I can find the link...
	♥ 8:58pm pot8o: thanks dj peter! have a great week everyone!
	8:58pm ChristinaInCanada: Thanks for a companionable set, DJ Peter. And thanks everyone for the dazzling chatter.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks for a fun time, Peter! Have a good week, everyone.
	♥ 8:59pm newton: thanks DjPeter, how you're feeling better
	🕰 ♥ 8:59pm Little Danny: thanks peter, what a pleasure!
	♥ 9:00pm newton: hope
	♥ 9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	♥ 9:00pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter! for the sounds. Thanks all for the soup and cold remedy swap talk.
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: thanks everybody! i'll bounce back. keep fighting the GOOD fight!
	♥ 9:00pm chresti: Thanks dj Peter!
	♥ 10:09am doctorjazz: There actually is (or at least there was-not sure if it's still open) an LP listening club/bar in NYC called All Blues, modelled after the Japanese spots (I think there may be one in Brooklyn as well). allbluesnyc.com... Smeck was amazing on the Clarence William's track, killer slide! Thanks, DJ Peter!
