	4:02pm Webhamster Henry: Got a little Wall smashing noise there?
	4:06pm David D: Greetings Henry, three hours of all sorts of noise coming your way...
	4:08pm David D: I could dig around the station here for a jackhammer.
	4:08pm doctorjazz: Hello David and fellow travelers!
	4:10pm David D: Good afternoon Doc!
	4:13pm Sem Chumbo: Hello, and good evening, David, and Continental subwayers. Shredding on the agenda. Good.
	4:19pm David D: Good evening, Sem, or is it still afternoonish where you are?
	4:22pm Sem Chumbo: UTC-4 here, dusk approaching.
	4:23pm melinda: Hi people
	4:23pm David D: Hello Melinda!
	4:34pm Parq: This is reminding me of a very nice middle eastern restaurant that Mrs. Parq and I enjoyed about a year ago. Strangely enough, the restaurant was in Warsaw, in the shadow of Stalin's reviled Palace of Culture and Science.
	4:35pm David D: Parq - that makes perfect sense, bringing a variety of associations with the theme of "East" together.
	4:44pm Webhamster Henry: I want a qanun because it has leer tuning, which would be useful for my hammered dulcimer purposes!
	4:45pm northguineahills: Batumi, Georgia, on the west shore of the Black Sea, cultural capital of Adjara? (sorry, just walked in)
	4:46pm David D: Henry: I'm intrigued - do tell us more...
	4:49pm David D: NGH: Welcome - and yes that is indeed the capital of Adjara on the Black Sea.
	4:53pm northguineahills: yes, solve our qanun-drum Webhamster Henry!
	4:54pm David D: The Batumi song has something to do with the story of Jason and the Argonauts, by the way. Part of Quadro Nuevo's great voyage, anyhow.
	4:55pm Stanley: Hi David. This 'East' business was probably dreamt up by the British in colonial times. They went east and 'discovered' the East Indies, went west and 'discovered' the West Indies. Japan is in the Far East but logically to an American it would be in the Far West. They sort of placed themselves at the centre of the world.
	4:55pm Webhamster Henry: not leer, lever!(It's not empty!) I should lift my palms up more! A qanun has a lot of strings and is usually played like a zither, but I'd either whack it with hammers or make an autoharp rig for it.
	5:02pm Webhamster Henry: "Sarajevo Dreamin'"?
	5:02pm Little Danny: Hi David, all! Just tuned in, bummed I missed all of the previous goodness
	5:05pm Dean: The first type of musical Orientalism was the Turkish style, which, according to Jonathan Bellman, "evolved from a sort of battle music played by Turkish military bands outside the walls of Vienna during the siege of that city in 1683." He remarks that few had heard it and virtually no one remembered it, and that "what became understood as Turkish Style was thus almost entirely the product of the European imagination." It clearly gave pleasure, but also a sense of superiority over the Turks. -- Derek B. Scott, "Orientalism and Musical Style," The Musical Quarterly, v.82, no. 2 (Summer 1998), 309-35
	5:05pm David D: Greetings Stanley, Danny, and Dean!
	5:10pm David D: Yes, I have been thinking a lot about the idea of "orient" and "east" all through the week - suffice it to say that it is a messy business and a has a lot to do with people's imaginations and projections but also identities. In other cases, it's just a direction or part of town.
	5:10pm northguineahills: @Stanley: that used to confuse the hell out of me as a kid. The American TV station in Japan I watched was the Far East Network.
	5:10pm doctorjazz: Hank Mobley, nice, I approve!
	5:11pm doctorjazz: (Duke Ellington did Far East Suite, would work here...)
	5:14pm geezerette: This show! Always a knockout!
	5:15pm northguineahills: The term Orientalism came from the French returning from the Levant after the crusades. After 1453 (the fall of Constantinople) and more so after what Dean referenced (when the Turkish 'menace' was no longer considered an existential threat) all things Turkish were the rage. Even if what they thought was Turkish were from further east or south
	5:15pm David D: Aw thanks, Geezerette!
	5:17pm Little Danny: @David: Yes! I'm fascinated by Orientalist musical portrayals in general. I mean, a lot of great east-meets-west music - and not just jazz - has been recorded over the years.
	5:22pm Dean: I'm hip to music from East L.A. You know, El Chicano, Los Lobos, Zappa's doo-wop...
	5:22pm Little Danny: I knew there had to be some Yusef rolling in soon!
	5:23pm David D: Yes, east-west and other varieties of musical-cultural contact can be quite fascinating. Also the idea of self-identity vs. projection in that process could probably be a great object of all sorts of investigation.
	5:32pm northguineahills: oh, and of course the east-west divide was an English invention. Where do you think the Greenwich Meridian goes through>
	5:39pm doctorjazz: Thanks David, time to head (north)West.
	5:40pm melinda: Nice tunes!
	5:46pm David D: Glad you are enjoying them, Melinda!
	5:47pm David D: Thanks Doc, have a safe journey in all your directions...
	5:52pm Sem Chumbo: Lovely interlude in my day. Thank you, David, and I hope to see you and all here again, next time. G'night.
	5:54pm David D: Thanks for tuning in, Sem - have a good evening!
	5:57pm Uncle Michael: Been with you for a while, David...but you didn't know it.
	6:00pm Dean: This reminds me (for no good reason other than the predominance of plucked strings) of the work of Toyohiko Satoh. He is most well known for his performances as an early (Western) music soloist and ensemble player. But he has at least a couple records of his own compositions on Channel Classics (link to one below) that combine early Western and classical Eastern forms and styles. https://www.channelclassics.com/catalogue/3291-Works-of-Toyohiko-Satoh/
	6:00pm David D: Happy to have you here, Michael!
	6:05pm David D: Yes, Oki plays the tonkori, an Ainu plucked string instrument from the North of Japan in this case.
	6:11pm northguineahills: Loved the Oki Dub Band and Sherap Dorjee! The Ainu inhabited the northern half of Honshu (and Hokaido) all the way until the mid 18th century and were outside the control of the Japanese governments until the after the Meiji Restoration.
	6:18pm David D: Thanks - and yes, another meeting of cultures there within Japan as well.
	6:20pm Uncle Michael: Dutch?
	6:21pm David D: Yes, and still around as a band - or at least as an institution.
	6:22pm Uncle Michael: Got any Whispering Jack Smith?
	6:23pm David D: Here come all the clichés...
	6:23pm Uncle Michael: I guess he'd have to have done something Oriental-themed...
	6:26pm David D: He apparently did a mean Blue Skies.
	6:27pm David D: I don't know if that fits, though.
	6:28pm northguineahills: that was a nice banjo strut in that last one.
	6:29pm David D: Johnny St. Cyr, I believe
	6:40pm northguineahills: oh, cool.
	6:50pm Parq: did anyone ever use East St. Louis Toodle-Oo in a cartoon? Max Fleischer or like that? It would have been perfect.
	6:55pm northguineahills: Thanks David!
	6:58pm Jesse Kaminsky: nobody really knows
	7:00pm David D: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting - have a great week!
