WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 05/24/13

Listener comments!

8:19am ausmanx:

now i've been initiated into the Drummer MO, i thought i'd send today's first comment from the Antipodes... good evening, all

8:30am Doug Schulkind:

I will try to keep you awake, ausmanx!

8:56am Uncle Michael:

Hello from the propodes.

8:57am ndbob:

morning Doug, ausmanx, everyone!

8:57am ndbob:

morning UM!

8:57am Doug Schulkind:

Say Uncle! Hello ndbob!

8:58am hyde:

once more, it's morning time in drummer land

8:58am Uncle Michael:

Hi Bob!

Hi Doug!

Hi Manx! (what happened to your tail?

9:00am Uncle Michael:

That Shure is pink.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

hyde-e hyde-e hyde-e ho!

9:02am Stanley:

Awright - on my own at the office and grooooving!!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

The Stan with a plan!

9:04am Rich in Washington:

Mekka-lekka hi, mekka heinie ho!

9:05am Doug Schulkind:

Sounds like you got lei-d, Rich!

9:05am AndrewC.:

Afternoon. How come you get a playlists/Doug URL? and not playlists/DS. Must have slipped the site admins some baksheesh, eh?

9:07am Uncle Michael:

Jambi? JAMBI??

9:09am Uncle Michael:

The story about the speech on NPR didn't even mention this incident.

9:09am ausmanx:

sadly down in a bunker like some latter-day morlock, rather than on the mountain. evening to all the folks, and i'm subtitling a serbian film about a Gay Pride rally in Belgrade tonight, which seems appropriate!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@AndrewC
It used to be .../Doug, but the WFMU's whole playlist database just got overhauled and my old playlist were migrated onto a new set-up, thus the new .../DS url. (I realize I described that pitifully.) The old .../Doug still works, it just transfers you to the new directory or somesuch. Still stuck with the same old me, however.

9:12am AndrewC.:

Doug, you're always the same, but always refreshingly different.

9:13am Jeff Golick:

I remember this cut from my high school daze as a chorus member of our production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

9:13am Uncle Michael:

Yidle deedle didle dum.

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I had the SAME reaction. All I can think of is "L'Chaim!"

9:19am Jeff Golick:

There's a great anecdote in a long and long-ago New Yorker profile of Ang Lee. Lee was trying to get his screenwriter to make some family scenes "more Chinese." The screenwriter, who was Jewish, had no idea how to do this, so just made the family encounters as typically Jewish as he could. Lee came back and said something like, "Yes, you have really captured it now."

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Ishes to ishes, dust to dust.

9:22am Jeff Golick:

ONE WORLD, man.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Careful friends: This flutist T.R. Mahalingam is not to be confused with the actor T.R. Mahalingam.

9:25am AndrewC.:

If you get a chance to read Stewart Lee's book "The Lifes and Deaths of a Standup Comedian"- brace yourself for a very funny Ang Lee anecdote.

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

"Brace yourself for a very funny Ang Lee anecdote" is itself a very funny anecdote.

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Coming up next is an amazing sort of free-style rapping/dozens playing/call-and-response duet performance from Brazil that just blows me away. I'm not sure if this style is particular to the performers (Geraldo Mousinho & Cachimbino) or if it is a wider style. If the latter, I have yet to find anyone other than these two performing it.

🥁

9:29am Artie:

SM-58, Pantone 212 C.

9:32am Doug Schulkind:

Way to make an entrance, Artie!

9:32am Rich in Washington:

Bridge collapse here in Washington. I hope there's a spate of folk songs about it.

🥁

9:33am Artie:

Shades of Morocco in those little castanet sounds. Wonder if the vocal styles have some lineage there as well?

9:33am ndbob:

quite a segue here:)

🥁

9:33am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & Co.
Always loved Black Roses off this Clear Light.

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Artie
Surely there are African traces in the Brazilian performance style. More likely West African (due to slave trade) than North African. But you never know. (See Jeff Golick's comment at 9:22.)

9:35am Rich in Washington:

Viewing, commenting via tiny mobile device. Desktop computer's logic board just bit the big one.

🥁

9:37am Brian in UK:

Dallas Taylor on drums?

9:37am andujar:

this Clear Light is nasty!

9:37am ndbob:

think so Brian

🥁

9:39am Brian in UK:

Hello bob.

9:40am ndbob:

heya Brian

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Dallas Taylor on drums! Good aftenoon, Brian in UK!

And buon giorno to you, Maestro Andujar!

🥁

9:47am Brian in UK:

Was this Pete Seeger song the principle for South Africa, in Mandela time? A hero by anyones stripe.

🥁

9:48am Brian in UK:

I want to see the sunshine today.

9:49am ausmanx:

one of THE great records. ever.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

"My Rainbow Race" was performed by Nilsen and a crowd of more than 40,000 people in Youngstorget in Oslo and at squares across the country on April 26, 2012, as a protest against statements given in court by Anders Behring Breivik, the perpetrator of the July 22 attacks in 2011. The performance was inspired by Facebook reactions after Breivik claimed in his trial testimony that the song was an example of Marxist propaganda and that it was being used to "brainwash" Norwegian children. Organization was made at the level of Norwegian Minister of Culture, and other Ministers [of Culture] from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands were also present. The song was thus performed a few days later, in the midst of the ongoing trial. In Oslo the sing-along was followed by a march up to the site of the trial, where the crowd laid down flowers. The song was performed both in Norwegian and English, and Nilsen had personally contacted Seeger, who responded with the words: "Oh me, oh my. I wish you luck." (Wikipedia)

9:54am ausmanx:

ah, mention of Breivik reminds me that he quoted our Australian conservative Prime Minister John Howard as a policy model in his manifesto. one of Howard's great legacies. (he will forever be known as "the lying rodent", as the Opposition leader referred to him in parliament).

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

George Brandis admits to calling him a rodent, but not a lying rodent. He says Howard was a "truthful rodent." (Do I have that right?)

10:00am ausmanx:

one of Brandis' colleagues swore a statement that he used "lying". it seems pretty likely! Brandis will be our next Attorney-General, sigh.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

I will forever be smitten with your current PM. And not just because she's a redhead.

10:03am Hugo:

In my language, it is known as "Barn av regnbuen" - children of the rainbow. I wasn't aware that it was a cover of a Pete Seeger song, though. The artist in question was Lille-Bjørn Nilsen. A huge hit in this country back in the early 70s.

10:04am ausmanx:

sadly she's been disgraceful enough in her own way (though nothing like your own incumbent). her refugee policy, which was what Breivik admired in Howard, is not so different

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

Hugo! I was thinking of of you, for obvious reasons. (Because you are a paragon of love, of course.)

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Hell is for heroes.

10:06am Uncle Michael:

The Flynt and the Walker...gorgeous.

10:07am Michael:

Yes, loving this Peter Walker.

10:07am ausmanx:

this IS a flawless set

10:07am ndbob:

I actually bought this when it came out

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Michael, meet Uncle Michael. (All non-Michaels are welcome.)

10:09am Uncle Michael:

Hugo, meet Sluggo...

10:11am Hugo:

Hullo all cool cats out dere.

10:12am Uncle Michael:

Hugo, do you know Kristiansand?

10:13am Hugo:

It's on the Southern tip, ferry service to Denmark. I've been there once, ages ago.

🥁

10:13am Brian in UK:

Hello Bergen.

🥁

10:13am βrian:

I just remembered y'all were here, so I made the lateral move.

🥁

10:15am Brian in UK:

@ βrian Do you spend Christmas on the isthmus?

🥁

10:15am βrian:

Crystal blue skies over the isthmus today.

10:15am ndbob:

@Doug if you want unpredictable weather come here:)

10:17am hyde:

how come nothing is ever low falutin'?

10:17am Hugo:

Hi Brian, we're in the middle of music festivals here:

www.fib.no...
www.nattjazz.no...

Sunny outside (as long as it lasts)

We tend to say: We'll have UK weather - one day later ...

🥁

10:18am Brian in UK:

To misquote The Bonzoes. Jazz, delicious Hot, disgusting Cold.

10:18am hyde:

also: Jimmy Giuffre is really, really underrated

10:18am Shaun:

Your third stream can become weaker and intermittent as you grow old. Morning/Afternoon, Doug and all.

🥁

10:20am Artie:

A snake couldn't limbo under my usual falutin'.

10:21am Jeff Golick:

Jeet yet?
No, Giuffre?

🥁

10:21am βrian:

Low falutin: ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_flute

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

βrian, isthmus is a magnificent word. Welcome "over here."

Agreed (on JG) hyde. The story of his slow descent into dementia before dying in '08 really saddened me.

@Shaun
That is a direct quote from I.P. Daily.

10:22am Uncle Michael:

My friend I was just in Spain with lives in Kristiansand.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I corrected your misspelling of "Guiffre" at no extra charge.

10:25am Jeff Golick:

Thanks! I was in that instance guilty of looking over hyde's shoulder.

Cheating will get you nowhere.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Oh that's not true, Artie, your falutin' has engorged python clearance.

10:25am Hugo:

Spain is for Europeans what Florida is for Americans.

10:26am Jeff Golick:

@Hugo: a place where freaks go to be freaky? And/or get old?

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

I don't think you understand the true nature of Florida, Hugo.

🥁

10:27am βrian:

A swamp full of teabaggers? Nah, I don't think so.

10:28am Jeff Golick:

@Hugo: here, this might help: gawker.com...

10:28am dvx:

Hi Doug and everyone!

@Hugo, yes and Mallorca in particular

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, that was me coughing. Left the mic on. Haven't you heard of reality radio?

10:29am still b/p:

Where can I do some low falutin' lawful lootin', or get some high falafel?

10:29am El Thatchmo:

Chillin' In The Hizzie!

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Guten tag, dvx!

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

@Hugo I see Britten's War Requiem is on. Oddly there is a new film about his life.
www.benjaminbrittenfilm.co.uk

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I like the way your mind works.

@El Thatchmo
I like the way your liver works.

10:31am dc pat:

digging bagpipe blues, man.

🥁

10:31am βrian:

Good felafel here: ttp://banzomadison.com/
I once did shots of tequila in Palma de Mallorca with Johnny Horton in the background. ("The Battle of New Orleans.")

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya dc pat! The subject of bagpipes came up in the comments during my Tuesday show. That record's been in my head ever since.

10:34am KevinfromBayRidge:

Happy mid-show point to all Drummer-Somes. Merrily listening to the new Pop-up stream. Makes MY Fridayyyyy!!! Tks for the Rufus.

10:36am Jeff Golick:

Sometimes I feel like a motherless bagpipe.

I think Don Draper knows how I feel.

10:36am Jeff Golick:

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings from not Brooklyn (boo-hoo) KevinfromBayRide!

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

Jozef Matthessen on the hyperventilating tuba here.

10:37am Jeff Golick:

Monday is Memorial Day here in the ol' USA. Miles Davis' birthday is Sunday.
D:O Radio will be memorializing Miles for much of Monday's show. With some bonus Wayne thrown in for kicks.

10:38am Jeff Golick:

</plug alert>

10:39am Uncle Michael:

you can't close a tag you didn't open, pal

10:39am dvx:

That is quite a brass section.

🥁

10:39am Brian in UK:

Bring out your lerts. Mobilise lerts everywhere. You are never alone with a lert.

10:39am dc pat:

wonder if there is any Irish pipe jazz..

🥁

10:40am βrian:

Ah, but look above. Problem is, an element may not contain whitespace.

10:40am Hugo:

Err, Florida looks like an exciting place. Maybe, too exciting? Well, it ain't dull ...

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

And Tuesday is your Drummer's birthday and he'll be on the air to sell/berate.

10:42am Jeff Golick:

...speaking of berating, today is this guy's 15th wedding anniversary. Hey-o!!

Seriously though, couldn't be happier. Might have to break out something especially lovely on Monday.

10:43am hyde:

I'd sing happy birthday, but I can't afford the royalties

10:43am KevinfromBayRidge:

If it makes you feel any better, Doug I'm actually at work in a windowless office in Queens as we speak. Which is why getting your live show, finally, is such a mind-saver. Alas I will probably traverse your old hood (Cobble Hill? ) over the W/E.

10:44am Jeff Golick:

Birthday greetings, too, to Bob Dylan -- 72 today!

🥁

10:44am Brian in UK:

Happy Asbestos anniversary, Jeff. You are fireproof.

10:44am andujar:

that Fred Van Hove piece is exactly what I wanted to hear (but didn't know it!). Thanks.

10:46am Uncle Michael:

I'm still accepting belated Monday birthday wishes.

🥁

10:46am Brian in UK:

@hyde we got the Royalties and we cannot afford them either.

10:47am Jeff Golick:

<belated>Happy Birthday, Uncle Michael!</belated>

10:48am dvx:

One suggestion: You should be able to favorite songs from the stream throughout the week.

10:49am Uncle Michael:

Give the Curmudgeon Radio

10:50am Hugo:

@Kevin: What's the population of Bay Ridge these days? It used to be many Norwegians there back in the middle of last century. I bought a sociology dissertation on Norwegians in Bay Ridge, written in the 1950s, to find out more about the expat community, but now I believe most have left for the suburbs and been thoroughly assimilated.

10:50am dc pat:

..and where's my Hate button?? with helpful skull symbol right next to the star...

10:51am Uncle Michael:

<sincere>
Thanks, Jeff!
</sincere>

10:52am raissa:

lovin this

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@dvx
That is a capital idea. I doubt it is possible because the favoriting is possible with songs entered into the WFMU playlist database system and the songs in the stream's general queue are not. It is a request worth making, though, and I will!

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

@raissa
So happy to see (er, read) you!

10:54am dc pat:

WHOA! Thanks for the edit Drummer! I feel so perfected...

10:54am Shaun:

Niece has just taken out her iPod earbuds - happens twice a year, tops - because she thought this Sabah "was the sound of someone crying".

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

The title of my next selection: แมวเฝ้าปลา

10:55am dc pat:

this Sabah tune is making my morning! Fantastic! Where from where?

10:56am dvx:

@Doug: Just free associating here, but maybe a playlist could appear like this one for the stream, and people could comment throughout the week. Just a thought...

🥁

10:56am Brian in UK:

Doug, Sabah sounds so familiar. Is it like early Souad Massi, who is Egyptian

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

You can snag this amazing Thais record here: aseam.info...

10:59am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@dvx: That's been discussed!

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

@dc pat
I am trying to remember where I got that Sabah. I will share link if I find it.

11:01am dc pat:

Is it Egyptian as Brian suggests?

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

@dvx
I would LOVE to have a permanent website for the stream that will provide song info and a running comments thread. Of course, I will have even less of a life than I do now. But that's okay.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Sabah was From Lebanon. Big movie star as well as as a heartthrob singing act.

11:04am davex (is this nickname easier to pronounce?):

Haha, no don't let it ruin your life, Doug. Maybe there's a way to automate it. Do you currently program the order the songs are played?

11:04am dc pat:

AH! Thanks!

🥁

11:04am Brian in UK:

@dc pat Well south east corner of the Mediterranean.
As an aside, this is a great album.
www.wrasserecords.com...

11:06am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@dvx: I can automate the machines, but there's no robot that can replace Doug's care and feeding of the GTDR stream listening community. It'd be like a party without a host. (Audio footnote: Charlie's recent Party show.)

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

This song. Arranged by Ennio Morricone. Perfection.

11:10am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Hey, is anyone here using IE 9 or 10 on Windows 7 or Vista? I would LOVE your help testing a new fix. Please email me: kenzodb.com...

11:11am dc pat:

Kenzo?.......hate button?......

11:11am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@dc pat: No need, that's implied.

11:12am dc pat:

Oh, I disagree! BUT I understand the implications of injecting bad vibes into the whole scene...

11:13am dc pat:

I only star songs I REALLY like. I don't hate anything Doug's played today however.

11:14am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Oh, you weren't referring to IE! No, there are no song hate buttons coming.

11:15am dvx:

@Kenzo: True, there is the danger of the party getting out of control. I guess adding favoriting might be nice enough.

@dc pat: Hating would be like booing someone off the stage. That would be sad.

OT: Does "davex" work better than the vowelless "dvx" for anyone?

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Shaun, niece was kinda sorta right.

🥁

11:16am βrian:

Hating should be reserved for songs with auto-tune.

🥁

11:18am Brian in UK:

Hating:to wear or be in possession of a hat.

🥁

11:20am βrian:

Those hatters were a mercurial lot.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

@dvx
To answer your earlier question: The songs that play during the stream's automated default mode are nor individually selected. I have programmed the software to select tracks from specific folders and programmed it to play from a rotation of folders, but the tracks themselves are essentially random (though there are parameters about how often a particular track, artist or album can be played within a certain period of time.)

🥁

11:20am Brian in UK:

Why are vowels so unpopular these days? There are four consonants in the word anyway.
Where is james?

🥁

11:20am Brian in UK:

As mad as a hater.

11:21am dc pat:

hmm but that's part of art isn't it? instant critique? when I started playing punk groups in Harrisburg PA at 16 the crowd was always very vocal about what was liked or disliked. Immediate feedback. I always thought that was good. Nowadays, everybody claps for everything no matter how lousy. That bugs me. I guess so we can all just move on without bickering all the time. I dunno. I was only half serious anyways.

11:22am dc pat:

Anyways, gotta hit the shower. 2 long bike rides without washing = stinky dc pat. Thanks Drummer, learned a lot today Third Stream, Sabah, bagpipe jazz. WFMU is school folks. Have fun. and...don't hate.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

Remember Rassy.

🥁

11:23am βrian:

Tightrope-walking those guitar strings ...

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Stay stinky, dc pat!

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

Gotta walk our sickly dog. Beagle trots. TMI.

11:26am Uncle Michael:

I just unstunked the funk. Was that a mistake?

11:26am still b/p:

Ken played a track this week with intensively autotuned vocal by Big Blood daughter. Interesting, and my reflexive autotune recoil was soon suppressed. Suggestions of Arabic style and melisma in the effect.

11:26am KevinfromBayRidge:

@Hugo, Sorry I was away from the Comments ( BAD BAD work!!). Yeah BR has gotten much more diverse but it's still a "too white" 'hood but that's with a very loose definition. I do know a few old-family Norseman (& Norsewomen!). My guestimate on ethnicity would be: 20% Italian (leaving off "-American"); 20% Asian;15% Arabic;15% Greek;10% Irish;20% Other(including me!).Over in Sunset Park, there were some Scandanavian bars on 8th Ave up until about 10 years ago, but became totally incongruent to the venue and are sadly relics now.

11:26am trish:

@Brian in UK
Shorthand without corrupting language? And that study demonstrating readability without vowels?

(Hiya. Quietly listening.)

11:27am davex:

@Doug: Thanks, I was thinking that it would be a lot of work to select every track all the time. I suppose other functions could still work automatically with that system with a bit of tweaking.

@Brian in UK: I didn't realize vowels were out of style. That would be a reason to put them back in.

🥁

11:28am βrian:

NRA: "Auto-tune doesn't kill people ..."

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

The sax on this Stanislas Tohon track slays me. It slices me up and eats me.

11:33am Hugo:

@Kevin: Yeah, that's what I expected. If there are any left, they would be up in their 60s-70s or even beyond. Politically, from what I can read, they are more conservative than over here and more religious.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael commences immediately following GTDS at noon (ET). Michael's playlist page is here: wfmu.org...

🥁

11:36am Brian in UK:

Sounds like Maphumo Avenue again.

11:37am Uncle Michael:

He's just kidding.

11:37am davex:

@Brian: You have a fast beagle.

11:38am hyde:

I always sort of wondered how the Drummer stream sort of seemed to group things together but still also was seemingly kinda random. Now I know. This is like going backstage at the puppet show. I know more, but a little bit of the magic is gone.

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

I got a beagle for my 10th birthday. I named her Lubi.

@hyde
And I program the stream naked. Now you know everything.

11:39am still b/p:

"...sliced the Drummer so thin he would liquefy in the pan with a little oil. It's a very good system."

11:40am hyde:

@Doug I am no longer paying any attention to the man behind the curtain!

11:41am Listener Gregory:

Do you KNOW that Stanislah is not related to Lindsay? They seem to share a certain party mentality.

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

@davex think he has eaten something that disagrees with him.

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Doug What about Nascente?

11:42am Uncle Michael:

I get ALL my music at Pottery Barn.

🥁

11:43am Brian in UK:

Blow me, its cold, windy & wet. May 24th my arse.

11:44am Stanley:

Leaving the office to the sound of The Falcons.
What could be a better start to the weekend?

Bye all.

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

Double belting show, Doug.

11:44am Uncle Michael:

Hey...don't go!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

This next tune, by Pittsburgh's Johnny Daye made my week.

11:45am Stanley:

(I'll be back but next time in my underwear)

11:46am Hugo:

Found a few things here:

blogs.villagevoice.com...

That should be kringler, firkløver and knekkebrød.

Not to speak of Lapskaus Avenue (only comprehensible to Nordics)

Anyway, that's all history ...

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Amazing story about this unknown singer. Well worth a read: idigpgh.blogspot.com...

11:48am still b/p:

Nice. The Daye Stay's been fayevorited.

11:49am Filip:

Putumayo!!! Doug, you're right on the target! I always felt the same and avoided their record store displays! Something stale about them and their plain ugly graphics... Ha ha... Cheers from Warsaw!

11:50am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

@hyde: Doug told you what he knows about the robot. But the robot didn't tell anyone its secrets.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Filip
Hey!! I was thinking of you recently when I read about the Dalai Lama and Dr. John receiving honorary degrees at Tulane's commencement this year!

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Before you get your groove on too deeply, this song is about a pedophile. Just sayin'.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Creepy film, too.

11:54am pacific standard simon:

G'mornin' Dog 'm i awake yeet?

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@pss
You arise and the world brushes its teeth with you.

11:55am Filip:

Cool! I sure miss visiting NOLA... My daughter's back in NY. Maybe this late summer/early fall I'll get the chance to visit. She still loves it and visits a bunch...

11:55am fleep:

Based on the typing, no.

11:55am davex:

Great show, Doug! See you all a bit later...

11:56am pacific standard simon:

That would explain why my hair's wore down to th' nubs.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

@fleep
Hey there, friend. Didn't see you slip in.

All the girls say volume doesn't matter.

Hi, Doug. Great show as always. However, I am not sure I agree with your comment on the beginnings of the Third Stream movement. I don't think the originators like Gunther Schuller, Charles Mingus, John Lewis, and even Ornette Coleman were that interested in moving jazz to the concert hall. I think they were more interested in trying to expand jazz beyond the be-bop mainstream, which was in danger of becoming cliche'ed. Of course, there has always been "jazz plays the classics" tripe around, which DOES fit that description, but I wouldn't call that Third Stream. I'm glad you played the Jimmy Giuffre in any case.

Fair Point. I wasn't intending to mean that the artists themselves were pushing for the sort of legitimacy that fancy concert halls would bestow. Rather, it was the industry of jazz, the labels, bookers and promoters, and especially the critics, who, were encouraging (through all there attendant pressures) the music to follow a path less intimidating to white audiences. Surely my garble missed the essential point I intended to make.
