Jesus H. Christ on a crutch, am I busy today. It's 3 o'clock already. Hiya Doug and congregation of particular people.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:03pm listener james from westwood:

How do, Doug and all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, ndbob, Dean, Carmichael, Listener James. Mr. González is in hospital confronting what he calls "one of the toughest fights I've ever had to face."
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:05pm Gary:

Oh, man.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:06pm listener james from westwood:

Argh, never good. Hope the vibes get to him, perhaps even through a Googling family member who finds this playlist!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:11pm Doug Schulkind:

Olive Lake on alto here with González. Ken Filiano on bass. Michael T.A. Thompson on drums. The song is honor of fellow trumpeter Toshinori Kondo.

All praise this musical genius.

Welcome aboard, Doc! And Jeff G!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Dennis González has played a hugely significant role in the stretching wider open of my mind's ears, and to him I am grateful.
Avatar 6:18pm northguineahills:

Well, that explains it, I always knew Doug had more then one mind.
  6:19pm Jeff g.:

This Shaman record is one of the great LPs of recent years.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:19pm Doug Schulkind:

EXACTLY, northguineahills.
  6:22pm Maricôt:

To Mr. González all the good vibes he's bringing to me today through this amazing set
Avatar 6:22pm Carmichael:

I am of one mind about this music.
  6:24pm Dean:

Discog lists "human beatbox" among the instruments he plays on this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:24pm Doug Schulkind:

Mr. González has a Facebook page. I'm quite sure he would welcome and treasure all words of kindness: www.facebook.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:25pm Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
My info calls it "Mouth Percussion."
  6:29pm Dean:

Yow. Roy Campbell, too!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

The dearly departed Roy Campbell. And Henry Grimes, making his first record in 35 YEARS!
  6:41pm Jeff g. yells at eels:

Oh man this is a highlight.
  6:42pm Dean:

Searching Dallas newspapers for a story about Gonzalez, I found nothing recent. But he does get attention from the local press, e.g., this lede from the Dallas Morning News, May 10, 2008:

Dallas avant-garde trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez was in Slovenia in 1985, enjoying an easy morning after a jazz festival performance, when a friend dropped the needle on a new LP.

"The sounds that came from the speakers were intriguing - very modern, very hip and provocative, a cross of jazz and electronic sounds," Mr. Gonzalez remembered.

"And when I asked whose music it was, my friend said, 'This is your hometown boy - Jimmy Giuffre.'

"I was embarrassed because I'd never heard his music," Mr. Gonzalez said.

Hey there, Monica!!

Here is a story in a Dallas paper from 2014:

And here is a Dallas Observer story from February of this year: www.dallasobserver.com...
  6:47pm Dean:

Great stories.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm Doug Schulkind:

@Monica
Thanks for sharing on FB the news of Bruce Lundvall's passing. He and Orrin Keepnews must be sharing some cocktails and some yuks right about now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Dennis González has recorded more than 50 LPs as a leader and appeared on many dozens more. Next up is my favorite track from all these treasured recordings.
Avatar 6:58pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug - I need to go
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:59pm Doug Schulkind:

Cheerio, ndbob! Thanks for hanging with me/us/it!
  7:00pm Jeff g. yells at eels:

Lundvall
Avatar 7:01pm northguineahills:

Thanks Doug, guede schiidt!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Trying to sum up or even pay due respect in just one hour to the lifetime of vital offerings from Dennis González — is a fool's errand. But I am a fool in love with this man's contributions to the universe. So there you have it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Here is your lineup on this track:

Acoustic Bass – Alex Camp
Drums – Bobby Natanson
Electric Bass – Buddy Mohmed
Marimba – Ed Smith
Percussion [Hand Drums] – Jamal Mohamed
Tenor Saxophone – Alex Coke, Jim Sangrey
Vibraphone – Fred Raulston
  7:03pm Jeff g.:

That was supposed to be : "Lundvall & Keepnews studiously avoiding Stollman."

Maybe for the best....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:04pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
Please don't use that kind of language here. The "S" word, I mean.
Avatar 7:05pm Jesse K:

Hey Doug, We're still chasing down a hum here so no need to rush!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:06pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks, Doug!!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:07pm Gary:

Thank you for that wonderful tribute, Doug
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:08pm Doug Schulkind:

Heart in my throat, throat in my ears. Love to you all.
