Good Morning Annie!

Hey Bob! Miss Saturday morning in J.C. I'm out of range now a days, but still locked in tight 9-11.
  9:13am melinda:

Good morning! Great openers.
  9:15am Jeff:

Bob, thanks for being there throughout the years.
Your soundtrack gives us sustenance.
We need you now more than ever!

Morning Bob and similar Brainiacs.

The ducks are back in the creek, after the thaw.

Soothing songs. Hey all. Now saturday is going to go just right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:22am doctorjazz:

That Rusape Jews of Zimbabwe track was cool.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 9:24am WilliamfromDumont:

Morning Bob and all. Or is it mourning?

Donald Byrd did some fine stuff (before he went fusion...I know that statement can generate some heat).
  9:28am Stuart Rose:

Good morning, all,
Turned the alarm off at 8:30 and just got up. Never a good thing to miss a big chunk of Bob's2 hours.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:29am Philthy woman:

Byrd gets me ready to FLYYYY!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:30am Philthy woman:

always loved that one, what a line up and what an energy
  9:42am Mark R:

Dr. Jazz, Byrd returned to real jazz again in the 90s, put out some nice albums--"A City Called Heaven," "Getting Down to Business," and "Harlem Blues" are all good. He's got very good bands on those records, too. (My apologies if you're already familiar with this stuff.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:48am doctorjazz:

Mark R, no need to apologize, I do know that he "returned to the fold", so to speak. I don't actually have a problem with fusion, Miles, for instance, had a great version of it. Some versions of fusion maintained the energy and didn't dumb it down. Some did. Some made up for it with a soulfulness or other strengths. Just ornery, in the mood to pick a fight, I guess, don't take it too seriously (stuck at work as well...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:48am dgg:

wow, cool history to the Rusape Jews. They were "discovered" by an ex-Slave from the USA, William S. Crowdy, who settled in Newark: en.wikipedia.org... en.wikipedia.org... Today I learned
  9:51am Mark R:

I just didn't want to be pedantic. I agree with you about Byrd's fusion period vs. Miles. Love early Weather Report, hate "Birdland." Etc. I'm sure we're pretty much on the same page. The original Mahavishnu Orchestra was a cold-blooded motherfucker of a band, maybe instrumentally the most talented band ever.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:55am doctorjazz:

I'm with you, Mahavishnu was intense, early Weather Report was quite exploratory.
Great Dizzy (who was a "fusion" artist of the first class!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:58am Uncle Michael:

g'morning

Sun Ra never ceases to surprise me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...nice work Bob Brainen!...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:00am WilliamfromDumont:

Bob, you made me dig out my copy of L&C Exp. I want to like this album, but it's short on good tunes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

1967 Half Century observations should really make vivd how - though '66 is widely exalted as TheeYear - '67's full technicolor blooming of Rawk was simply singularly awesome.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:33am doctorjazz:

Loving the NRBQ box, great stuff.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:53am WilliamfromDumont:

My fave Pentangle LP. Yes! Good to hear.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:53am doctorjazz:

Aw. I missed that great Red Allen track, great Pentangle, though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:00am doctorjazz:

Thanks, fun show
