	🥁 8:51am Brian in UK: Hello Jeff, that email link ain't linking.
	8:53am Jeff Golick: Hello, Brian. Ooof that's a bummer.
	🥁 8:59am duke: Morning Jeff and D:Oers
	9:00am Jeff Golick: Morning, @duke!
	9:03am Andrew Waterloo: good morning
	9:04am Jeff Golick: Welcome, @Andrew Waterloo!
	9:09am Doctorjazz: hi all, Happy Easter! Taking you out on the Ozzie walk early today. Expecting some Gentle Brozman today Great Brand/Ibrahim to start the show (this also sounded great when he recorded it with a large band).
	9:12am Jeff Golick: Hi, @doctorjazz! Bad edit at the end of that Brand tune; sorry about that.
	9:14am Doctorjazz: was kinda sudden, but the Moholo is smoothing Every thing out!
	9:16am Jeff Golick: Yah feels like we could end the show after this Moholo.
	9:16am Doctorjazz: love the bass...
	🥁 9:44am hyde: ack, i forgot to tune in right away. and i have to leave to eat dumplings real soon. but i'll listen until then!
	9:45am Jeff Golick: Happy to have you for even a moment, @hyde. Leaving to eat dumplings seems entirely right to me.
	9:46am Jeff Golick: (@hyde: you get the Drummer email show announcements?)
	🥁 9:50am hyde: @Jeff yeah. i'm just not usually much good at looking at my email on the weekends.
	9:50am Jeff Golick: That also seems entirely right to me.
	🥁 10:02am hyde: this George Lewis is fantastic
	10:05am Jeff Golick: Maybe we should do another AACMpler (volume 2?) and put this on it.
	10:05am Gary: Mmm, dumplings
	10:06am Doctorjazz: not a whole lot of Bird I can pick up so far, but a fine track...
	10:08am Jeff Golick: Hey, Gary! Figured the dumplings would bring you out... @drjazz: yeah, it's not directly, musically inspired in that way. Sort of like Miles' Duke tribute, "He Loved Him Madly."
	10:11am Jeff Golick: George Lewis band here is: Anthony Davis Douglas Ewart Richard Teitelbaum
	10:17am Gary: Come for the dumplings, stay for the atmospheric percussion
	🥁 10:28am hyde: ok, i'm off to stuff my face with turnip cake and sticky rice etc. thanks for the tunes!
	10:29am Jeff Golick: Yum, @hyde! Save some for me. Thanks for coming by.
	10:32am Erella: Oh thank you. So fantastic! That album is a desert Island Disc for me, for sure.
	10:34am Jeff Golick: Hi, @Erella! You are most welcome. I too never tire of that Jones/Haden disc.
	10:34am Jeff Golick: We've hit the soft squishy creamy jazz core of this Cadbury egg of a show.
	10:34am Erella: I used to give it to friends that were about to have surgery and needed to rest and feel great.
	10:35am Dean: Agreed, a desert island disc. Add Walt Dickerson & Sun Ra "Visions" and Tragicomedia's excerpts from Bach's Anna Magdalena Notebook and I'll pack up and move to the next available desert island.
	10:35am Jeff Golick: What a lovely gesture.
	10:35am Erella: So far, so GREAT!
	10:36am Jeff Golick: Greetings, @Dean! I would welcome your list of island picks, for sure.
	10:37am Dean: A rare pleasure to be here this a.m. I've missed the show since the schedule change.
	10:41am Jeff Golick: I realize West Coast living is not conducive to a 9am EST start, Dean! Great to have you here, live.
	10:49am Jeff Golick: So strange, now, to hear Cecil comping behind other soloists.
	🥁 10:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Wee Small Hours' - 1st Concept Album? I think Frank was shrooming, see...that great early Sinatra...
	10:51am Jeff Golick: Hallo, @RevRabbitNov63! I think I've heard it referred to as such, shrooms or no shrooms.
	10:52am Dean: Before Sinatra there was Gordon Jenkins. Seven Dreams was 1953.
	10:53am Jeff Golick: Ah yes. The "sepulchral Gordon Jenkins."
	10:53am Dean: And of course Jenkins arranged for Sinatra.
	🥁 10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ha! LPS were 1st the Classic market - cause a Suite would fit on there? It was about Pop artists getting around to thinking about making albums as a whole, not just a bunch of tracks.
	10:56am Dean: Well, Mussourgsky might not have had a "concept album" in mind with "Pictures at an Exhibition," but thanks to Ravel and, later, ELP, it turned into one.
	🥁 10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...grown-ups would buy Lounge Long Players - which was meant to make atmospheres...
	10:57am Doctorjazz: loved hearing that early Cecil Taylor...
	10:59am Jeff Golick: @doctorjazz: you can almost hear his impatience with the changes. The next year he blows it all up with Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray in Copenhagen.
	11:00am Doctorjazz: and this one, sounds like he has 50 fingers (added bonus...wife is out, can listen over speakers).
	🥁 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...w/out psychedelics, & w/ digital files - attention spans have shrunk back down - mine certainly have - altho' how I listen is webio streaming (which might be a three-hour show) & podcasts (one hour, sometimes more, often less)... This Taylor actually reminds me of some Keith Emerson in the same year a touch. Keith knew some stuff & had chopps - sad.
	🥁 11:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Definitely FreeJazz as Liberation...will liberate you of the unappreciative very quickly...
	11:03am Gary: You can keep going ... :-)
	11:04am Doctorjazz: I really like that tension in the early CT stuff, it does feel like he's looking for ways of of the changes on these tracks, that tension is delicious...
	🥁 11:09am Doug Schulkind: 1/2 of First Layer of birthday cake, 2nd 1/2 of 1st Layer of birthday cake!
	11:11am Dean: Whose birthday? My daughter's? Yes, my daughter's!
	11:12am Jeff Golick: Aw yeah, @Doug! Cake for everyone. @Dean: Happy birthday to your daughter! I'm glad Doug brought cake.
	11:13am Dean: She's this many.
	11:13am Andrew Waterloo: good morning
	🥁 11:14am Doug Schulkind: It's Cecil's cake. You'd better thank him. Palm is another of those record labels, like Ogun, for which I have a borderline frightening obsession to own every release of.
	🥁 11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♈Arien Solar Returns!
	🥁 11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Couldn't ask for better Easter music.
	11:16am Dean: Whew. For a second there I thought my daughter shared a birthday with Cecil Taylor. That would have been too much.
	11:17am Jeff Golick: CT's bday is a heavy family day for us: wife's grandmoher's bday, and also the day her father passed in 1999.
	11:17am Doctorjazz: obsession? someone here? couldn't be... I remember when my girls were "this many" old, sweet.
	11:19am Andrew Waterloo: My birthday is tomorrow.
	11:19am Jeff Golick: Ogun: check. Palm: check. What else...played a cut from Reel Recordings earlier. I'd like to have all of those.
	🥁 11:19am Doug Schulkind: Happy Birthday, Andrew Waterloo!
	11:19am Jeff Golick: Happy slightly early birthday, @Andrew!
	🥁 11:23am Doug Schulkind: Pretty sure I have all of the Reel Recordings releases. It's founder, Michael King, was a dear friend of GTDS and he kept me in the loop. His demise (and his label's) remain hard for me to accept.
	11:25am Andrew Waterloo: thank you!
	11:31am Doctorjazz: this isn't Sphere, with Kenny Barron and all, is it?
	11:32am Jeff Golick: Nah, this is Sphere (#19, per discogs) out of Detroit: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 11:37am Doug Schulkind: It was like so totally NOT that long ago that I came to understand that Strata Records and Strata-East Records were like so totally NOT the same label.
	11:40am Dean: But you never confused Banana Records with Apple Records, I bet.
	11:40am Jeff Golick: I ALMOST commented to the effect of: "Strata, not to be confused with Strata-East."
	11:41am Jeff Golick: Or for any fellow Bostonians (current or former): "Jordan's Furniture, not to be confused with Jordan Marsh."
	11:43am Dean: This D-to-D record isn't officially available for another five days.
	🥁 11:45am Doug Schulkind: @Dean Nor Peaches Records (but that was a store, not a label). I still have some old record crates and cassette crates (and of course 100s of records) I purchased at a Peaches in Rockville, Maryland, in the late '70s.
	🥁 11:46am doctorjazz: Took a minute to recognize Dylan...
	11:46am Gary: Can't wait for that d2d set!
	11:47am Dean: I remember Peaches! There was one, maybe, in Southern California.
	🥁 11:50am Doug Schulkind: Peaches: 2warpstoneptune.files.wordpress.com...
	🥁 11:54am Doug Schulkind: Before Peaches, my main record source was a Korvettes department store.
	11:54am Jeff Golick: I was fond of Caldor.
	11:55am Jeff Golick: (Here's the logo, as I remember it: photos1.blogger.com...)
	🥁 11:57am Doug Schulkind: Yep: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...
	12:00pm Doctorjazz: great show, Jeff, extra hour gives you more room to stretch!
	🥁 12:02pm duke: Thank you Jeff
	🥁 12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Louisville!
	12:06pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Doctorjazz, for making the stretch with me; thanks, @duke; and thanks, @Doug! (And sorry, Lexington?)
	12:06pm Gary: Thanks for the extra hour!
	12:07pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for hanging out that extra hour last week w me, too, @Gary!
	6:08pm vv: thanks for the show, listening on archive - just a note, your vocal levels on dj breaks are way too loud, at least to me.
	6:23pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the note, @vv, and for listening. I'll check out the mic levels -- first time back at the home controls following two marathon shows at the station, so might've missed the mark.
