Someone will need to repaint the ceiling later

9:03am mauri:

is there a fire extingquisher section in the band too?

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya, duke and Alex in Illinois!

Maybe he is trying to burn the "family" plaque off the wall. That would make it much more understandable.

Hey, it's mauri!

9:05am melinda:

Morning Doug

9:08am mr C:

9:17am mr C:

Larry is the only Marshall here today

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

You call it maize, but...

It's safer than flaming finger cymbals, Gary.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Larry "Fire" Marshall. That would have been a helluva nickname.

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of fire... Ladies and gentlemen.... Burning Spear.

🥁

9:42am doctorjazz:

9:43am pantz:

Good morning, drummers!

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

I bet you could use a belt, pantz.

9:48am andujar:

It's been too long since I've tuned in. But I am making a morning out of it.

9:48am pantz:

Believe it or not, I just had one. We were tasting bourbon for an exclusive barrel. Nothing like bourbon for breakfast!

9:49am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Hey pantz, pass the bourbon to exalted Brother Andujar!

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Andujar, is the Carlos Embale singing with the septeto? Methinks so.

9:53am andujar:

I don't know...but I dig it.

9:53am pantz:

I'll gladly trade for some quality tequila. Ever tried it in a Bloody Mary? No mas dolor de cabeza!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Y no mas cabeza, pantz.

10:02am andujar:

I love that Alfonso Lovo album!

10:03am pantz:

Great music for a Friday morning. Getting the weekend started early.

So so much to love!

10:04am annie:

10:11am Goyim in the AM:

Summer having just arrived in central Europe in time for it to depart, this is a timely show so far, Doug. Hi y'all!

10:13am Hugo:

Good news from Colombia:

www.nytimes.com...

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and ciao, Goyim in the AM!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, amazing news, Hugo. And more good news. You're here!

🥁

10:16am βrian:

How do you explain to a little kid that Colombo isn't the capital of of Colombia? It just ought to be, really.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka, yes βrian? Also, a damn fine, if unconventional, detective.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

I can't state the theme of this set any clearer.

🥁

10:20am doctorjazz:

More stately tumes, digging the sounds.
Vacation next week, some family affair, then a week in the Berkshires, but paying for the time today!

10:20am chromaphone:

Was diggin the Smoking Wood and found this at Allmusic: "Wood's great love was for the wacky tobaccy, or as it's better known: marijuana. According to some accounts, Wood was high most of the time and would even smoke on the bandstand when the notion grabbed him (and when the cops weren't close by, one presumes). And to further put things in perspective, Wood's love was so steadfast -- and big, too -- he usually kept at least a pound or two around for safe keeping and spared his lean budget in the process by growing some plants of his own. Smokey, indeed! "

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Our ace reporter in the field: chromaphone!

10:23am ndbob:

Dakota music! not North Dakota but close enough:)

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

MORE RACIST REFERENCES in this Dixon Brothers track. "Darkies singing..."

Feh.

10:25am Hugo:

Re. Colombo/bia: Blame it on the Portuguese and that Christofer chap.

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

I could play you some Tom Brosseau, ndbob. He's from Grand Forks (as you know).

10:28am ndbob:

@Doug I remember that Tuesday show where you played an hour of Tom's music - great stuff!

🥁

10:31am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & sensation seekers.
I was surprised to discover Lord Buckley's herb intake but not shocked; that and his acid tests long before Kesey, the writer who left us gasping for more.

10:33am chromaphone:

So much slippery slidin' this set, luv it.

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

The theme. I got it. All male singers, except for the female ones.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Reject the binaries, Brian in UK.

🥁

10:35am Brian in UK:

Us binaries deserve full unification.

🥁

10:39am Brian in UK:

Should it be S.D.P.O.A. I know back to your burrow.

10:39am Listener Gregory:

SPDOA should presumably be SDPOA. Pedantically yours, LG.

10:40am chromaphone:

If anyone knows of good Ruben Gonzales footage on youtube please let me know. I was searching around a few months ago and didn't find much.

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Nice typo-catchin', Brian in UK and Listener Gregory! Now I know you're paying attention.

10:44am Listener Gregory:

Pedantry is still not a crime in 23 state. And the EU.

10:47am βrian:

Yusef Lateef. I do believe you've played him once before, Doug.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Let this be your sanctuary, Listener Gregory.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Heh heh, βrian.

10:49am Parq:

Lively up, Yusef.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

That was the Sweet Inspirations singing with Yusef.

10:51am Flash Strap:

ah, don't tell me i showed up just in time to miss that yusef

🥁

10:51am doctorjazz:

This Juma Stomp really stomps! Reminds me a bit of Michael Moore.

10:52am andujar:

I love this Ab Baars Trio music.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone – Ab Baars
Double Bass – Wilbert de Joode
Drums – Martin van Duynhoven

10:54am mr C:

Magic of Ju-Ju?

🥁

10:54am Brian in UK:

@Listener Gregory. What is this EU that you write of? I see that wonderful Mr Farrage was over showing your candidate how to run things. A true professional who wants out of the EU but still claims expenses etc as an MEP. I was left confused by his call to defeat the establishment when an English Public skoolboy and American born to money are as close as you can get to it. Truth has never been a worry to Farrage.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

And now one of my all-time faves, from Marion Brown.

@Mr C
Close but no cigar.

🥁

10:55am Sam Segal:

Greetings, @Doug and all!

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

This Grachan Moncur tromboning is one of the most majestic sounds ever made.

10:55am mr C:

Connected by an Impulse..

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

And speaking of majestic: His Majesty Sam Segal!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

You mean an "Impulse!" Mr C.

10:56am Flash Strap:

Moncur's trombone is such pleasure

10:56am melinda:

hi SAm!

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Please don't use obscenity (Farage) here.

10:57am mr C:

I do! and thank you..

🥁

10:59am βrian:

It was because of Farrage that I learned what a "toe-rag" is.

🥁

11:00am Sam Segal:

Ahoy, @Melinda!

🥁

11:02am βrian:

... he being characterized by his state, or condition, of Toe-Raggage.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Aw yeah, Flash Strap dans la maison!

🥁

11:02am Brian in UK:

@βrian it has a certain je ne sais quoi. Hush my mouth we are no longer connected to Europe.

11:04am Flash Strap:

man that was so great

🥁

11:05am βrian:

I knew there was a reason I wore this black turtleneck.

🥁

11:07am doctorjazz:

That Marion Brown was a fine listening.

🥁

11:09am Brian in UK:

Was the Marion Brown recorded over here?

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

That Marion Brown was recorded in NYC.

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

S'funny I have always thought of Fontana as a UK/European label but there was a US network as well.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

I always thought of Fontana as a cheese.

🥁

11:17am Brian in UK:

There were so mans Profs. Doctors and Chief Commanders around this time in West Africa.

🥁

11:18am Brian in UK:

Doug, I could really go some Raclette melted all over some pert new potatoes.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Info on our next selection:

In the early years of Fela Kuti's career, well before he would define the genre of afrobeat, and leave an indelible mark on the musical landscape, he was a struggling trumpet player, seeking to redefine the sound of his current group, the art-jazz ensemble Fela Ransome-Kuti Quintet. As he moved his group towards the then-popular genre of highlife in 1963, he lost his bassist in the move towards commercial success, but gained the company of Ojo Okeji, who had a sterling reputation both as a bassist and percussionist in groups like Lagos Cool Cats, Rex Williams' Nigerian Artistes, and Western Toppers Highlife Band, a favorite of Kuti's. Okeji impressed Kuti with his deft jazziness on the bass, so he was in on the spot, and the Fela Ransome-Kuti Quintet became Koola Lobitos.

It was Okeji that introduced Kuti to the famed percussionist Tony Allen, (Who would subsequently join Kuti into his greatest years as an artist) as well as conguero Abayomi "Easy" Adio. During his time in Koola Lobitos, Okeji not only contributed deeply melodic, and adeptly rhythmic baselines, but brought his own influence from emerging US soul artists like James Brown & The Famous Flames and Wilson Pickett, heavily pushing Koola Lobitos towards a more soulful direction. This push was often resisted by Kuti, who frequently clashed with Okeji.

1968 proved to be a turning point for the group, as the Nigerian Civil War broke out, and many starving musicians turned to the military for work. Okeji and Adio would leave for the army, while Kuti and Allen kept Koola Lobitos going, where it evolved through different names and iterations and grew into the worldwide afrobeat force that made Kuti an icon during the 70s and 80s. But as Kuti and Allen rose to global recognition, Okeji and Adio would form a new band within the ranks of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the Nigerian Army. Their emblazoned blue jackets earned them the nickname "The Blues", but Okeji preferred the name "Shango" after the Yoruba thunder god.

Shango took the fundamentals of Kuti's famous afrobeat and brought new layers of guitar and horn arrangements, while often invoking supernatural aesthetics, and maintaining a love for the US soul artists that influenced Okeji so much. Because Shango was an army band however, their records were not readily available to anyone outside of the military so their music, including their eponymous 1974 LP, remained relatively unknown even amongst the people of Nigeria. Decades later Comb & Razor is thrilled to present this long-lost Nigerian gem for the first time to a world-wide audience.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

New potatoes. Just the phrase makes me giggle.

11:22am mr C:

They favored ferocious singing with a hard, heavy groove..this is great stuff !

11:23am andujar:

Afro funky!

11:23am Parq:

They are, too.

11:24am earrie:

Late show late Aug greetings. Radio radio.

🥁

11:24am Brian in UK:

Anyone remember Eponymous Glitch; electronic band from Stuttgart. First album dedicated to the tomato 'Ode to Gardener's Delight'

🥁

11:24am βrian:

New potatoes are like sex on the beach. Add some raclette, and you're living the highlife.

11:24am burke:

Women are great, I totally agree. Never heard it put so succinctly!

🥁

11:26am Brian in UK:

Women are great but a pert new potato. Fela missed a trick there.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Parq! Did I neglect to say hello earlier? HELLO!

And earrie. Nice nice nice to see you!

@burke
And this was in 1974. Women have only gotten greater.

🥁

11:26am βrian:

Thoughts turn toward the taco cart ...

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

"New potatoes are like sex on the beach." Someone has a foodieboner.

11:27am Uncle Michael:

Please cancel all your previous obligations and join me at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:28am doctorjazz:

AAAEEEEEYYYY!!!! The pop up has stopped working! No sounds (can't use the 128 at work). No sounds!
(catch you at later).

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

And things were just getting good! Good luck, doctorjazz!

🥁

11:29am Brian in UK:

What a groove. You can imagine the musicians smiling.

11:29am Ken From Hyde Park:

"... and featuring Lyle on the flaming trombone!"

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Well hey there, Ken From Hyde Park!

11:31am Hugo:

Listening to Shango - you just don't want it to stop. The beat goes on forever ...

11:32am andujar:

Orchestre Poly Rythmo....one of the greatest bands to ever grace the planet.

11:32am Santos L Halper:

Dug that Shango groove (and can't argue with the title).
Can't wait to send that GIF to my trombonist son!

11:33am northguineahills:

hallo, Doug, busy packing, thought I'd stop by.

🥁

11:33am Brian in UK:

Hello Hugo. How are the cats?

11:34am earrie:

Orchestre Poly Rythmo -- I recall a video done w/ marionette puppets. Great players.

11:34am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning, Doug and pals. Headed south, ngh?

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

I've heard of Green Bay Packers, but not North Guinea Packers.

🥁

11:35am Brian in UK:

These boys can play any style you want. Perfect wedding band. Not an insult.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Santos L Halper is here! Good thing I put out the good silverware.

🥁

11:37am Brian in UK:

.....and the crease in the brass sections' slacks could cut through metal.

11:37am earrie:

Oui, c'est bon.

11:37am Hugo:

@Brian: Either inside or outside. Or heading out. Or heading in. Or both in different directions. Typical cats.

🥁

11:37am βrian:

I was once told by a Guinean man that the most beautiful women came from the northern hill country.

11:38am Jeff Golick:

Hey, look over there! [pockets good silverware]

11:39am Santos L Halper:

Hoping that GIFs a good omen; he's opening for Trombone Shorty tonight.
Hey, somebody stole my spoon!

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Doug, just got a copy of Losers Weepers the other day. Thanks for the tip. Oh that Jamesetta has got it. So many styles.

11:43am Jeff Golick:

Ugh. Work. Made me miss most of the show. That Ab Baars trio album looks like it could be something special, Doug.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Jeff "Deep Pockets" Golick!

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
Keep those kitties off the high seas!

🥁

11:44am Brian in UK:

@Jeff step away from the gold plated egg coddler. We know where you live. Oh and have a great break is this how you finance it?

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Curtis, we miss you so.

11:46am Jeff Golick:

Yes, @Brian. Though it's hard to hear you over the rattling. Thank you.

11:46am mr C:

we do..

🥁

11:47am βrian:

Cheating? Or just being more inclusive?

🥁

11:47am Artie Haywire:

Working from home today. Curtis flowing out from four corners of the house. Thx, Doug!

🥁

11:48am Brian in UK:

Doug, what another load of crap. Good luck with studying. Might take a little while to get in the groove but we have full faith in you.

11:48am northguineahills:

jaja, Doug!

🥁

11:49am doctorjazz:

I'm back, needed a reboot.
Great show!
see ya around town!

11:49am Uncle Michael:

Anyone looking for a load of crap should stay tuned to the stream.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, Artie H!

@βrian
So that's how you roll on the isthmus?

@doctorjazz
A little minor surgery, and here you are!

11:50am Uncle Michael:

I have a craptacular planned.

🥁

11:51am βrian:

No sign of the taco cart. A dark pall of dread has fallen.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

How often do you hear the word "indifferent" in a pop song? Answer: Not that often.

11:52am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: re your binary comment a while back, @10:34. I heard a good binary joke yesterday. May I tell it?

Loving this Ascots.

🥁

11:53am Brian in UK:

An Ascot is a heating boiler over here and a horse racing track. Just saying.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
All aboard the poo-poo train, everyone. Your engineer, Uncle Michael, will Hinky-Dink you through all the best parts of town.

Here is your ticket: wfmu.org...

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Tell it tell it tell it, Jeff Golick!

11:54am Listener Gregory:

"Indifferent" is indeed underused, Doug. As is "eleemosynary."

11:54am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:54am Brian in UK:

Doug, B-side title?

11:55am earrie:

1! No, 2! Wait, no. Off. On.
Greyish!

Thanks Doug et al.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Great. Thanks a lot, Listener Gregory. Now I know how I'll spend my upcoming week.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Schoolmarm in UK.

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the music, Doug. See you all in the next room.

🥁

11:57am duke:

Thanks for the wonderful show again

11:57am Listener Gregory:

We also need a few pop songs that illustrate the difference between "disinterested" and "uninterested." They aren't the same!!

11:57am Parq:

Love everything you do, but these soul sets really make my day.

🥁

11:57am Brian in UK:

There is a fishing magazine over here called 'Total Carp' Always smile when I see it on the shelf.

11:57am Jeff Golick:

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Happy to do it, duke. More than you could know.

Always leave them wanting more, Parq.

🥁

11:58am JtotheK:

only caught this last set -- but glad i did! that epsilons track was great.

🥁

11:59am Brian in UK:

@Jeff sorry thought you wrote bananary.

11:59am Webhamster Henry:

Hey I was lurking the whole show, I liked the state songs!

12:00pm Listener Gregory:

Nice, Jeff G! Or as Robert Benchley said, "There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who do not." But he probably meant 10.

🥁

12:01pm βrian:

Grad school gives me the pip. Hope that's not the case for you.

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh I've got the pip alright, βrian.

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Lurkhamster Henry!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Glad you liked, Jtothek!
