	👻 3:01pm rrg: Well, hi there.
	3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - ready to be Schooled!
	👻 3:02pm rrg: Ooh, the LONG version.
	3:05pm Tome: ..holds the totem pole way up high!!
	3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...12 years younger than Miles & 'Trane...
	3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sixth Sense album wiki: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:21pm Chico: This guys story is so metaphorical to my life right now its slightly chilling im hearing what I am at this moment...
	3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Infinity : en.wikipedia.org...
	3:26pm Irwin: Discog if anyone wants to know personnel, session dates, etc.: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Better! ...because one does want to know...
	3:29pm Droll: Sorry to hear about The Good Doctor, but if it means a show reprise, so be it. Nothing played so far sounds like 50-year old recording. The lack of production is what makes it so timeless. If they played live in front of you, it would sound just like this.
	3:29pm Mike Sin: Really enjoying this Lee Morgan special, Irwin! Not to take focus away from the fine music, but was Slug's Saloon a venue of note back in the day? Or just an later hours-type jamming joint?
	3:31pm Jeff Golick: Just quickly checking in with a quick "thanks for doing this show, Irwin!"
	👻 3:32pm rrg: Holy cow, that's a huge discography. I had no idea (because I never really looked). A Lee Morgan completist would have to get a lot of stuff.
	3:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Droll: Exactly. No Remastering - no Mastering! Just Musicians & Microphones. ...That's why Miles getting Electric & Editing & Mixing was seen (& indeed felt) as such a departure in Jazz.
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: rrg: These Jazz guys! Just playing all the time. - Just nuts - productive as hell.
	👻 3:38pm rrg: A lot of people do their jobs as enthusiastically but not everyone has someone there to record it all for posterity.
	3:38pm Irwin: He did his first Blue Note session as a leader at age 18. He led 25 sessions under his own name in 15 years. A deep catalog for a guy who died young.
	3:39pm Irwin: @Mike:: Don't know much about Slug's. Check link to "The Lady Who Shot Lee Morgan." She talks about the club.
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - some people are under-recorded - good point. ...18!! Earnest about the Music - not foolin' around.
	3:42pm Tome: Slug's in that day you had to dodge the bullets, pretty much,, E3 between B & C,, now you're lucky to rent say a closet over there for under $1,000 a month ,,,
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - we owe a lot to the Producers & Labels who believed in these guys - & to a market that existed for it @ one time. ...I'm old enuff to remember some Fusion on the radio - but that's about it - & even that's long long gone...
	3:48pm Tome: WRVR 106.7 > bit.ly...
	3:53pm Laura L: Thanks for this set of perfection, Irwin.
	3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Carolyn' (Lee as sideman) was happening in another world when the Beatles were inbetween 1st two albums & JFK was Pres. ...
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - there was just a literal thunderclap here...
	3:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm late for class!
	3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kerouac: 'Kicks, Joy, Darkness'...
	4:00pm Droll: Irwin, Nearly his entire discography is Blue Note, was he under a long-term contract foolishly signed at 18, or did he stay with them by choice?
	4:03pm Irwin: @Droll: Blue Note had the monopoly on hard boppers--and they had the best. I get the sense that in a business in which musicians were (and are) routinely taken advantage of by labels, Blue Note was a cut above. Just an incredible catalog. You don't consistently attract that caliber of musician unless your reputation warrants it. They were the Tiffany of jazz labels in the '50s and '60s.
	4:06pm steve whitehouse: thanks for the great show Irwin!
	4:08pm Irwin: Blue Note history: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - lost power - may again... ...compared to Atlantic (earlier for Jazz?) & Impulse? Blue Note stills carries remnants of these connotations... ...portrait of Lee being painted suggests he wouldn't stand for mess...
	4:08pm Listening Out There: ...remember, critics later on called the music "bebop." It was an onomatopoeic term. To most musicians, it was simply "the new music." There's always something new...
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - from BlueNote wiki - this a very useful sentence: ...'Historically, Blue Note has principally been associated with the "hard bop" style of jazz (mixing bebop with other forms of music including soul, blues, rhythm and blues and gospel)'...
	4:17pm rsj: where's mr franks at?
	4:18pm Irwin: @rsj: Ray?
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No Joe Frank this week because of Lee Morgan tribute.
	4:20pm Droll: . o O ( Yep, this solo is all that ) [clap clap clap -- studio jazz always sounds naked at the end of a solo]
	4:30pm Michael: A bit late but delightful show Irwin!
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - really good writing (dif.s opinion noted) painting the times & answering a lotta questions I had right now...
	4:39pm as: really wonderful tribute to the great lee morgan, thanks Irwin! and cannot say how much I love hearing hard bop on wfmu!!!
	4:39pm Listening Out There: Irwin...is it Wes Montgomery on guitar in "Kenyatta"? Sure sounds like it t'me...
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: g. Grant Green: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:42pm Irwin: @LOT: Grant Green on gtr. Album recorded '64, I think Wes died in '63.
	4:45pm Listening Out There: Ah. ==Thx to you both for clarifying==
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: en.wikipedia.org... John Leslie "Wes" Montgomery (March 6, 1923 – June 15, 1968) - Outstanding stuff Irwin even were it not winged !
	4:46pm as: speaking of the morgan/green combo, for something a bit different I'd recommend checking out Reuben Wilson's Love Bug (also blue note) which features both Morgan and green playing on a very funky Hammond organ session. was also cool to hear the track off Taru with the young George benson

	4:47pm spodiodi: The Lee Morgan Tribute was boss.
	4:48pm Irwin: @RRN63: Thanks for correcting on Wes's demise date. Knew it was a "round" number.
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...try WesWiki link again...: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:03pm hamburger: electromagnetic field around a radio www.wired.com...
	5:11pm Irwin: @as: Thanks for the tip. I'll track down the Reuben Wilson album.
	5:15pm Droll: Lee Morgan to George Straight in less than an hour. Well played!
	5:23pm Irwin: @Droll: Like the sign says: genre-surfing tokenism.
	5:29pm Laura L: Who knew? acu·ti·plan·tar adjective \ə-¦kyü-tə-¦plan-tər, -ˌtär\ of certain birds: having the hinder part of the tarsus sharp angled —opposed to latiplantar Origin of ACUTIPLANTAR acuti- + plantar First Known Use: 1902
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - George Harrison's last was 'Brainwashed' - or is that considered 'posthumous'?
	5:32pm Irwin: @LL: Who knew indeed? Not I. @RRN63: I defer to anyone else's better knowledge of Beatle afterlives.
	5:33pm Matt from Springfield: Oh well, just have to wait for The Good Doctor to come in then. The good news: TWO Lee Morgan tributes to listen to!! Afternoon! Glad to toke with you all!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I think 'Brainwashed' was mostly finished - & I like it!...
	5:40pm Irwin: @LL: So what is an acutiplantar "dude"?
	5:41pm Rick from SC: some kind of birdman, I guess
	5:43pm @: ^-(*=0%#
	5:44pm Irwin: A guy with sharp-angled tarsals?
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: "Harvey Acutiplantar"..has a good ring to it.
	5:48pm Laura L: Dunno--but I would not get near his tarsals! Run away fast from the Acutiplantar dude!
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: Dewan's Scotch, the best kind. Can't wait for the "Solomon Grundy" part!
	👻 5:50pm chris: Glad to know the art of court jestering is not dead.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...brave ♪ Sir Robin ♫ ran away...
	5:52pm Matt from Springfield: All right, Wall of Sound folk style! @RRN63: The brave, the brave, Sir Robin...
	5:54pm Matt from Springfield: Star for Pascal Pinon!
	6:00pm Listening Out There: Another great program stumbles to an end... :)
	6:00pm Matt from Springfield: Great way to end it Irwin, thanks! See you listeners @7SD, otherwise, have a good night!
	6:01pm Droll: Thanks, Irwin. See yinz later!
	5:57pm Michael K: Just saw the question about Slug's among the comments and also the answer that said something about having to dodge bullets there. That's an exaggeration, although the world would be a better place today if Lee Morgan had been able to dodge a bullet. I felt no less safe at Slug's than at the Vanguard or other venues, such as the Five Spot and Half Note. (If memory serves--and mine doesn't serve as well as it used to--I saw Pharaoh Sanders at Slug's about a week or so before the Lee Morgan shooting.)

	👻 3:32pm rrg: Holy cow, that's a huge discography. I had no idea (because I never really looked). A Lee Morgan completist would have to get a lot of stuff.
	3:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Droll: Exactly. No Remastering - no Mastering! Just Musicians & Microphones. ...That's why Miles getting Electric & Editing & Mixing was seen (& indeed felt) as such a departure in Jazz.
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: rrg: These Jazz guys! Just playing all the time. - Just nuts - productive as hell.

	4:03pm Irwin: @Droll: Blue Note had the monopoly on hard boppers--and they had the best. I get the sense that in a business in which musicians were (and are) routinely taken advantage of by labels, Blue Note was a cut above. Just an incredible catalog. You don't consistently attract that caliber of musician unless your reputation warrants it. They were the Tiffany of jazz labels in the '50s and '60s.
