Looking forward to some toe-tappin' tunes!

8:51am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, bobdc! There shall be much rug-cutting.

🥁

8:53am listener james from westwood:

Always nice to have a well-heeled host.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

We're all going to heel in the end, Listener James. Might as well boogie.

8:59am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Woo hoo, Waterloo!

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

Doug, I'd have to be callus to disagree with that.

Morning, Doug and all!!

9:02am Konin:

It's....

🥁

9:02am Brian in UK:

Hello doug

james oh those corny jokes.

9:03am Uncle Michael:

Good morning everyone.

🥁

9:03am listener james from westwood:

Indeed, Brian, indeed. My last one toed the line.

9:03am Dr. Scholl:

Listener James, I don't get it.

🥁

9:03am duke:

Good morning DrummerSomes.

9:04am Gary:

Hola!

🥁

9:05am Brian in UK:

Ever been a band called The Fallen Arches? Or the Fallen Archies, the dropout cartoon group.

9:06am doca:

Thanks for bringing us regurgitated food, @Doug. Hi all!

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Konin! Good afternoon, Brian in UK! Good even earlier morning, Uncle Michael. Good forever and ever, duke, Gary and doca!!

9:11am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

BTW: Smilin' Eddie just said "snigger" there, not that other word. I had to listen to it about ten times.

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Hullo there, ndbob!

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
I was put on this earth to throw up fabulous music into your mouths!

9:17am Andrew Waterloo:

my mouth? I guess I wasn't wearing my headphones wrong..

9:17am doca:

Thank God for all this feeding tube music

🥁

9:18am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: I did double-take that soundalike word there. You never know what you're gonna find on some Antique Phonograph Hour–vintage recordings!

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

They say a way to a wo/man's heart is through their inner-ear.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
You got that right.

9:26am Gary:

We thought it was a pun

9:28am ndbob:

Apollo also put out some Yiddish humor records

9:28am Alex In Illinois:

I thought that maybe that was the way the title was actually written on the label. For example, the way the "Fiddler's of Country Music" series has that awful apostrophe in its name.

9:29am Mr C:

Doug is a founding member of the righteous brothers....

9:31am Gary:

Is this from that green album that Arab Tunes shared a while back?

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Alex in Illinoi's!

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
I rather think of myself as lefteous.

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Yes yes a thousand times yes! lazyproduction-arabtunes.blogspot.it...

9:35am still b/p:

Lefteous...Minister of Sinister.
I'd sure rather stay and listen to wonderful tracks like this' un right here, and watch while the pump pats the carpet to send me a secret message...but I gotta go do a little work for a little money or some damn thing.

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
That it between you and your corporate overlords.

🥁

9:39am Brian in UK:

Where does this Najat track originate, Mr DJ?

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

I'll try to find it, Brian in UK.

🥁

9:41am listener james from westwood:

Whatever its origin, it's a keeper!

🥁

9:41am Brian in UK:

I am favouring Syria for some reason.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Here is that Najat: moroccantapestash.blogspot.com...

9:43am Hugo:

Perhaps a track from the great Orchestre National de Barbès?

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

You should know:
The song coming up after this one is maybe my favorite of the year, so far.

🥁

9:44am Brian in UK:

Another reason to go to Morocco.

9:45am Hugo:

I only made it to Tanger. The kid went to Marrakesch (and beyond) last year.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

That would be a lovely and perfectly appropriate choice, Hugo.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Instead, we shall go to Bénin, home to the original kingdom of Dahomey, where they were making things with iron almost before man began.

🥁

9:50am Brian in UK:

The perfect wedding band, they can play any style you want.

🥁

9:54am Brian in UK:

Here is a link to a programme about Brian Shimkovitz (Awesome Tapes from Africa) Not now later.
www.bbc.co.uk...

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Poly want a rythmo? Squawk!

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

I should be a bigger fan of Awesome Tapes From African than I am. (Though I have download a ton from the blog.) There is something about turning the simple joy of sharing/blogging music into an industry that rubs me the wrong way.

In other words, I am jealous as hell.

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

I would pay cash money to see this crazy shangaan music performed live on real instruments!

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

Imagine Give the Drummer Some from around the world. First week in the Amazon, second week in Baku, third week in Tahiti, fourth week in Tahiti, fifth week in Tahiti.........

10:05am glenn:

no austerity here, that's all i gotta say.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

What about Paul Austerity, huh glenn?!

@Brian in UK
Imagine me getting PAID to travel the world bringing Give the Drummer Some to the people.

10:10am glenn:

ummmmm. you got me there.

10:10am ndbob:

I once found one of Ayler's ESP records ata church flea market

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

Paul Auster: en.wikipedia.org...

10:12am glenn:

welp, my supreme court, in its wisdom, has just granted canadians the right to euthanasia, should they wish same. it's about time.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Sonore is:

Peter Brötzmann ~ alto & tenor sax, tárogató, clarinet
Ken Vandermark ~ tenor sax, clarinet
Mats Gustafsson ~ baritone sax

10:14am Hugo:

Sonorous, indeed. Three chaps in one go do create quite a ruckus, particularly these three.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Was the World Sax Quartet the first of the solo-sax groups? There have been so many since.

@glenn
Remember, it's just an option, not a suggestion.

10:17am Hugo:

I tried to go Cafe OTO last time I was in London, but didn't make it. Anybody's been there? In the Dalston area, btw.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

By the way:

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY, ROBERT NESTA MARLEY!

10:33am jeff g @ the eye doc:

Manfred Blazer had an all-horn group going in mid-70s Germany, I think?

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

I love you, jeff g @ the eye doc!

You could have just stayed home and used the app iDoc.

10:35am jeff g @ the eye doc:

Or wait: Manfred Schulze?

10:37am jeff g @ the eye doc:

Love you!

Ps. DO Radio was considering an all-brass-group sampler for this year's FMU Marathon premium. All that brass. All those puns. We went in a different direction.

10:37am Lewis:

Doug - were you the curator of "Jazz Burns Ken"? I am guessing yes...

🥁

10:38am duke:

I can go on for 19.5 hours about what I found lacking in Burns' jazz documentary.

10:40am Flash Strap:

Flash Strap just wakin' up and checkin' in!

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Lewis
Yes, I did a marathon premium a few years back called Jazz Burns Ken which attempted to demolish, in 70 short minutes, Ken Burn's ridiculous jazz jingoism.

Mornin', Mr. Flash Strap! Your Explorers Room last night was one in a Umiliani!

🥁

10:44am listener james from westwood:

Howdy, Flash, Jeff G @ the oculist (or the occultist?), and all!

10:46am Gary:

Loved the DM track -- I thought it was French, until I Googled them

10:47am Flash Strap:

Thanks Doug! Aloha James

I haven't seen the Burns Jazz, but I hear all bad things from good people. What are a few of its worst crimes and ideological sins?

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@FS
Burns uses Branford Marsalis to attack Cecil Taylor. And he uses Wynton Marsalis, Albert Murray and Stanley Crouch to attack pretty much everyone else who made creative music after 1960.

10:52am ndbob:

I never saw the Burns documentary - largely based on comments by Doug and others

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

@FS
Burns relied on Wynton Marsalis to define "jazz" as a uniquely and exclusively American art form. One that somehow mirrors the idea of "Democracy" in it's egalitarian, collective creation. All the while, Burns/Marsalis trash any type of exploration that tried to break out of traditional forms and structures. It was a most vile imposition of small-minded orthodoxy. Completely missing the spirit of "jazz's" boundary pushing and the seeking of originality.

10:56am Flash Strap:

ugh. that's sort of the Marsalis party line. boy, that series ended up shaping a lot of people's conception of jazz, too.

10:58am Dean:

Perversely, I'm kinda pleased that the brothers Marsalis hold such provincial views, with which I don't agree. It suggests there's something worth fighting for in the musical arts. Both Wynton and Branford have made recordings I really enjoy. Branford's trio live in Bloomington is super. Why they'd be so committed to dissing other talents, I don't know, but the polemics can be refreshing. Crouch, on the other hand, writes really lame liner notes.

I was once strolling through a historical area of Sacramento with friend early one morning. Two guys were walking toward us. When we passed them, I realized one of them was Wynton. He's really short.

10:58am Flash Strap:

on a happy note, this is one of the most-loved, most-played tracks in my home

10:59am Lewis:

@Doug - I would add that boundary pushing is also central to Democracy. I have argued that the health of a culture is indicated by the extent to which fringes are strong...

10:59am Dean:

You're channeling Madison, @Lewis.

11:00am Flash Strap:

@ Lewis: yes!

11:00am Lewis:

@Dean - glad I am in good company!

11:01am Flash Strap:

ahhhhhhhhh yeah
"Baia, beautiful Baia"

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

For me, the very best moment in the Burns film occurs in the very first episode and it is merely the presentation of one extraordinary still photograph. In a sort of modern pietà, Frankie Trumbauer is shown solemnly holding his C-melody saxophone in the most moving embrace. The instrument is his child. Amazing.

11:07am ndbob:

wow I never knew any live albums were recorded here

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

Years ago, I worked for a book publisher who had signed a contract with Stanley Crouch. I was likely going to be its editor, but Crouch never delivered the manuscript.

🥁

11:15am listener james from westwood:

Thank you, I wondered if it had been Viers for the first 30 sec! Also quite lovely!

11:19am Uncle Michael:

I don't see Branford as provincial.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
I don't go more than a week without listening to Ms. Veirs.

11:23am Uncle Michael:

To me, it seems Wynton defines jazz as not just American, but specifically...almost exclusively...African-American, in its development.

11:24am Dean:

Agreed re: Branford. Could have picked a better word, but even then Branford seems more chill, less uptight than Wynton about enforcing imaginary boundaries.

11:25am glenn:

*slowly backs away from jazz argument, hopes baseball argument will begin soon*

11:26am Uncle Michael:

Yeah, Branford's been all about playing anything with anyone...Buckethead...Grateful Dead...

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
We could talk about Russell Nathan Jeanson Coltrane Martin, Jr!

11:27am Dean:

Branford even played with the Mets.

11:27am glenn:

that's not an argument!

11:28am Mike East:

Wynton comes in here sometimes. I like him cuz he sets an example of gettin' PAID as a jazz musician. Brings up the standard and gives other jazz musicians a chance to earn closer to what they're worth.

11:28am Gary:

I go off for a quick shower and you make with the awesome Polish music?

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

I know you love you some Czesław Niemen, Gary.

11:30am Gary:

Niemen!

11:30am Mr C:

It's unfair to lump Wynton and Branford together. They definitely don't think or speak as one.

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

@Hugo bit late been doing the Rufus Thomas. Seen Lonnie Holley, William Parker, Mike Cooper at Cafe Oto. Great gig. Audiences in London are so rude and chatter. In Oto total respect. During one Marc Ribot acoustic concert they turned off the 'fridge behind the bar because it was too noisy.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

Absolutely so, Mr C.

OK everyone, what the hell is this song by Polanie?!?!

🥁

11:35am Brian in UK:

Time for a shot of Belevedere methinks.

🥁

11:35am Brian in UK:

Looking forward to Doug's pronounciations.

11:36am Gary:

Fine; I will star the whole set

11:36am Uncle Michael:

Use me up with the Polish funk!

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
God help me.

11:39am Dean:

What do you get when you lump Wynton and Branford together and spoon them into Portobello caps? Mushrooms Marsalis.

🥁

11:40am duke:

This bed track is very cool. Okeh had so many great recordings.

🥁

11:41am duke:

Yes, what she said.

11:42am glenn:

ogay rummerday!

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael is up next here on the Drummer Stream with Hinky Dinky Time: wfmu.org...

11:47am Holly in NC:

Hello! working can't chat, am listening, hope everyone is having a great day

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Yay, Holly in NC!

11:48am glenn:

wash your hands, holly.

11:48am Uncle Michael:

Thank you Doug...I got caught having to reboot a computer here...no link from me.

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

Nice one, Drummer.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

I gotcher back, Uncle Michael.

11:50am Mr C:

Cool find with Spinners...

11:50am Flash Strap:

yeah, this track is red hot

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

This great Spinners song is offensive on several levels.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
That was funny.

11:53am Konin:

Hat's off, sir. Great set. Enjoyed my dishwashing.

11:54am glenn:

i have my moments.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Konin
You with the dishes; me with the platters. Nice teamwork.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

I made the lady's foot tap faster. Because I have the power.

11:56am Mr C:

How about expanding the Live Drummer franchise?

11:56am jill:

great show Doug!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Are you scratching her belly, Doug?

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
We can make it WORK!

@Jill
How the heck are ya?!

11:57am northguineahills:

Great stuff, Doug, thanks!

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Hi ngh!

🥁

11:58am duke:

Great show!

11:58am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room. Really enjoyed the show.

11:58am Holly in NC:

@Glenn my hands so far today exposed to human poo, dog poo, cat poo, raw chicken, and cooked lobstet, so yes. All about the soap

11:58am Gary:

Dzięki za wspaniałą muzykę, Doug!

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Thanks muchly, Doug!!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
My pleasure!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED playing them records for y'all!

3:16pm Listener Gregory:

I don't know if it's the Polanie song, but one of them towards the end sounded much like Bill Withers' "Use Me Up." The guitar and bass parts more than the vocals.

3:22pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Wow are you right! It's the Andrzej Zaucha track that is referencing the Bill Withers tune. No doubt. I am still pulling my hair out over the song that Polanie appears to be covering, however.
