Listener comments!
	8:56am Uncle Michael: SQUIRTGUN!
	8:58am Jeff Golick: Hey-o! You recovered from Friday, @UM?
	8:59am Uncle Michael: I roll with the punches, Jeff.
	9:00am listener james from westwood: How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:00am Jeff Golick: Well...I didn't care for it.
	9:01am Uncle Michael: Thank you. You'll more or less get to enjoy that semi-planned show this Friday.
	9:02am Uncle Michael: I can see for Miles.
	9:02am Jeff Golick: @listener james! What is up.
	9:02am Jeff Golick: @UM: that sort of thing would've really set me off/set me back.
	🥁 9:04am hyde: hellllooooooooo
	9:04am Uncle Michael: I dunno...it probably would have. I just prosecuted a solution until there clearly was none, then shrugged. The streaming box and the router weren't speaking. After I rebooted the router, it wasn't speaking to anything. I have changed out the router and all should be well for next week.
	9:06am Uncle Michael: Not much...just Miles.
	9:06am Doug Schulkind: Upward listening Doug. Back in an hour...
	9:09am holland oats: yo d:o! peeps!
	9:09am Jeff Golick: @hydeeeeee-ho!
	9:10am Jeff Golick: Yo, @holland o's! @Doug: get bent!
	9:12am Doug Schulkind: Bent is easy. Unbent is a bitch.
	9:16am Uncle Michael: Miles Davis (tpt, org); Sam Morrison (ss, ts, fl); Pete Cosey (g, perc); Reggie Lucas (g); Michael Henderson (el-b); Al Foster (d); James Mtume Forman (cga, perc)
	9:18am Listener Gregory: Checking in. It seems that the flight has already started to board.
	9:20am Jeff Golick: We'll be here for your unbending, @Doug. Thanks for that, @UM. @Listener Gregory! Yes, headed straight for the underground. Strap in. Here's your bag of nuts.
	9:21am Dave Sewelson: Good morning all you
	9:22am Andrew Waterloo: good morning
	9:22am Jeff Golick: Yeah, @Dave's here!
	9:23am Jeff Golick: And @Andrew Waterloo!
	9:28am Andrew Waterloo: Today I catch up on recording sorting. Today I also discover way too many sealed records I don't remember buying.
	9:30am Jeff Golick: It's a known hazard, @Andrew.
	9:33am Sem: Good morning, Jeff, outies, innies, in-betweenies, Miles folk, and all.
	9:33am listener james from westwood: One wave of good Marathon wagering and you've suddenly got to go steal a new milk crate!
	9:34am Jeff Golick: Greetings, @Sem! Welcome.
	9:34am Andrew Waterloo: Yah, I did find a whole marathon worth
	9:35am Jeff Golick: Oh yeah, @ljfw: forgot to mention I'm wearing one of my new t-shirts (Downtown Soulville) -- swag arrived!
	🥁 9:37am doctorjazz: G'morning!
	9:38am Jeff Golick: Good morning to you, @doctorjazz!
	🥁 9:41am hyde: i was in my kitchen cooking listening to the show on my speaker and i thought the Destination Out music sounded kind of weird (i mean weirder than usual). finally discovered that i also had my KLH radio on tuned to the whrb morning blues show.
	9:42am Jeff Golick: Ha! Good ears, @hyde. There's weird, and there's weird.
	9:43am Listener Gregory: Frank admission: Because of the early Memorial Day, I simply cannot keep track of when the month ends.
	9:45am Jeff Golick: Time is a flat circle.
	9:45am Jeff Golick: Or a flatted fifth.
	9:47am Dave Sewelson: tritone
	🥁 9:47am doctorjazz: Received my "winnings" from the marathon as well. Still haven't selected swag, maybe this weekend. Started some Spring cleaning/organizing myself...in addition to the sealed, don't remember buying them items, found the "already have them" items, and some "what the he'll was I thinking" items
	9:47am Listener Gregory: Then I will insist on thinking of Tuesday as Monday, Wednesday as Tuesday, etc. The result is that I'm sorry but I won't get to hear next week's show, which did not appear on Monday as expected.
	9:51am Jeff Golick: Miles & Co. trying to knock down Carnegie Hall here.
	9:53am Andrew Waterloo: I'm surprised I bought so many Ultravox albums without getting doubles
	9:54am Jeff Golick: Ne plus Ultravox, @Andrew.
	9:58am Andrew Waterloo: nope, not getting my penny candies worth at the used record store.
	🥁 9:59am doctorjazz: Ok, gonna find out how bad shape I'm in, and go bike in Warchung Reservation before it's really got. Bring the show along, natch...
	10:00am Jeff Golick: Happy biking, @doc. Stay hydrated!
	10:00am Uncle Michael: One of these days... www.discogs.com...
	10:06am Jeff Golick: www.youtube.com...
	10:13am Listener Gregory: Trying to figure out the theme of this set.
	10:18am JtotheK: Ahoy Jeff, hi everyone! Enjoying the Miles.
	10:20am Listener Gregory: Ah, all Miles! I see it now.
	🥁 10:23am doctorjazz: Miles to go...
	10:27am Jeff Golick: @LG: you can see for Miles.
	10:27am Jeff Golick: Howdy, @JtotheK!
	10:28am coelacanth∅: good morning Jeff and all
	10:29am Jeff Golick: Nice to see ya, @coelacanth∅!
	10:35am Listener Gregory: Is this Miles on organ?
	10:36am Jeff Golick: Yes, @LG.
	10:49am Listener Gregory: I am probably the only listener who is finding almost all of this show unfamiliar. I know I've heard some of it, but it's not in my regular rotation. So, this is quite interesting, though I also do look forward to the final set consisting entirely of performances of "If I Were a Bell."
	10:52am Doug Schulkind: I’m sensing a theme.
	10:52am Jeff Golick: Gonna need six more hours to make it that far, @LG.
	10:56am Listener Gregory: I'm up for it, Jeff. Also, consider one hour of Bill Evans playing Nardis, which some research has revealed that Miles actually wrote even though he never played it.
	10:58am Jeff Golick: @Doug: Yoga is working wonders for you.
	11:03am Doug Schulkind: You can smell me from there.
	11:04am Dean: Ninety-three? He probably wouldn't have lived this long if he'd lived this long.
	11:09am Listener Gregory: When we get to his time with Charlie Parker, I'll explain how Miles is the actual composer of Donna Lee. I love telling that story.
	11:10am Doug Schulkind: My beloved Jessie once shared a flight from New Orleans to NYC with Miles and Cicely Tyson. They were in first class, each wearing full-length white fur coats (it was not winter), and Jessie was in the back, hanging out and smoking with Miles’ road manager and crew, with whom she shared a cab back to Manhattan.
	11:10am Jeff Golick: Hey, @Dean. Oh yes. Indeed.
	11:13am Jeff Golick: Jessie is a queen among mere mortals, @Doug. I think Tyson had a hand in getting Davis out of the house during his black-out years, and helped usher in his 1980s return.... Unless I"m totally wrong about that.
	🥁 11:13am hyde: this is good music for making seaweed salad
	🥁 11:14am doctorjazz: Hydration break, done about 9 miles, about 14 to go (tho hilly part coming now). Saw Miles late in his career, after he had a sorta hit with Time After Time. He spent almost all his time at keyboards, just picking up his trumpet here and there. Makes sense; trumpet is supposed to be very hard to play, physically. Benny Carter, who played alto and trumpet early on, gave up trumpet as he got older. Roy Eldridge, late in his career, mostly played piano. Ok, up the hill I go....
	11:16am Dean: doctorjazz's comment explains why there are so few French horn, oboe, or bassoon jazz virtuosi.
	🥁 11:16am Granny Spicy Tuna: Made it here for the last few Miles…
	🥁 11:17am hyde: yeah, switching from wind instruments to keyboards in late career seems beneficial.
	11:17am Doug Schulkind: Tyson helped Miles dry out and physically rehab after his stroke in ‘82. Back on that flight from New Orleans, I believe the report was that she was as high as Miles was.
	11:18am Jeff Golick: Yay, @Granny Spicy Tuna!
	11:18am Sem: Your Miles morning is making my kitchen morning a blast. Thank you for this show, the many moods of Miles. Much obliged. Jeff.
	11:19am Dean: Everybody on that flight was as high as Miles for its duration, weren't they?
	11:19am Jeff Golick: So glad to hear it, @Sem.
	11:19am Doug Schulkind: I saw Miles only twice, once in ‘81 at the beginning of his comeback, then again in fall of ‘82. Second show was at a theater in the round in Cleveland.
	11:21am Jeff Golick: How were those shows, @Doug?
	11:24am Doug Schulkind: The shows were pretty good, but it’s hard to hear when you’ve stopped breathing.
	11:25am Doug Schulkind: Bill Evans was in Miles’ band. But not THAT Bill Evans.
	11:25am Jeff Golick: An understandable condition, given the situation.
	11:27am Jeff Golick: Here's a Miles concert review snippet from around 1972: "[this music] is someone clearing their throat, cats fighting in the alley, a kid dragging a stick along a picket fence, a dog howling in the night, or even fingernails screeching against a blackboard, a most nerve-wracking sound. And what's worse? All of that going on at the same time... Now, it's usual for musicians to warm up and tune up before actually going into their performance and Davis followed suite [sic]. However, the entire performance sounded as if it was a continuous tuning up. Imagine 45 minutes of people tuning instruments!"
	11:28am Jeff Golick: That's via the invaluable Miles discographical site plosin.com
	11:28am Uncle Michael: I'd walk a camel for some Miles.
	11:28am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, that's funny! To think about people even tuning up their instruments!
	11:28am Jeff Golick: I'd walk that camel through the eye of a needle.
	11:29am Listener Gregory: Maybe the musicians were playing a game of Name that Tuning?
	11:32am Dean: Ravi Shankar told a variation of that joke about tuning up at the Concert for Bangla Desh in August '71!
	🥁 11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna: I'd thread that needle with The Eternal Now.
	11:37am Listener Gregory: From Allmusic.com on this album: The set lists vary but offer something remarkable as a whole: The only period where Davis played music from his bebop, hard bop, modal, and electric eras on one tour.
	11:38am Doug Schulkind: The sound of his horn is spectacular on this number. Each note had its own propulsive power.
	11:42am Listener Gregory: Amazingly, every band member except Davis is still alive and very active 50 years later: Corea, Shorter, Holland, & DeJohnette!
	11:47am Jeff Golick: That's pretty amazing, @LG.
	🥁 11:49am hyde: this was a great show. thanks!
	11:50am Jeff Golick: "My band has Herbie Hancock AND Chick Corea. Who does your band have?"
	11:50am Jeff Golick: My absolute pleasure, @hyde. So glad you were here for it.
	🥁 11:51am doctorjazz: Thanks for the biking sound track, Jeff, helping me power through. Great week, all (6-7 Miles still to go...)
	11:54am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, the crazy thing is that you could make that joke about any instrument in his bands, and it would be just as good. "My horn section is John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley. What's yours?"
	11:54am Listener Gregory: By the way, I can tell that we're getting very close to "If I Were a Bell"!!!
	11:55am Jeff Golick: So close, @LG, but I hate to tell you this...
	11:56am Jeff Golick: @doctorjazz: glad to be along for your ride!
	🥁 11:56am Granny Spicy Tuna: been enjoying this very much, thank you, Jeff!
	11:57am Jeff Golick: Great to have you here for it, as always, @GST!
	12:00pm Dean: I remember finding a bunch of close-out LPs of early-ish Miles at Tower Records, those Prestige reissues. Grabbed a few. Glad I have 'em.
	12:00pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the great show, Jeff.
	12:00pm Listener Gregory: Didn't Doug do this as part of his Eddie Jefferson set on Friday? The Jefferson version of this is quite good.
	12:01pm holland oats: @dean nyc by any chance? i worked at 4th and away 91-92
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks for this magic carpet of Miles!
	12:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff! take care
	12:01pm Dean: Nope, holland oats. West Covina!
	12:01pm holland oats: *bway
	12:02pm holland oats: ah k
	12:02pm Listener Gregory: Jeff, if I were a bell, I'd go "ding dong ding dong ding!" But I'm not, so just thanks for a great show. Will be AWOL next week but will catch the archive.
	12:03pm Dean: Maybe WKCR has never heard of him?
	12:05pm Listener Gregory: Also, very late comment, if there were a Miles Davis church, it would have to have an expletive in its name.
	12:07pm Jeff Golick: Thanks and bye-ya, @UM, @LG, @ho; @ljfw; @coel; and all!
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: And @Dean!

	11:28am Jeff Golick: I'd walk that camel through the eye of a needle.
	11:29am Listener Gregory: Maybe the musicians were playing a game of Name that Tuning?
	11:32am Dean: Ravi Shankar told a variation of that joke about tuning up at the Concert for Bangla Desh in August '71!
	🥁 11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna: I'd thread that needle with The Eternal Now.
	11:37am Listener Gregory: From Allmusic.com on this album: The set lists vary but offer something remarkable as a whole: The only period where Davis played music from his bebop, hard bop, modal, and electric eras on one tour.
	11:38am Doug Schulkind: The sound of his horn is spectacular on this number. Each note had its own propulsive power.
	11:42am Listener Gregory: Amazingly, every band member except Davis is still alive and very active 50 years later: Corea, Shorter, Holland, & DeJohnette!
	11:47am Jeff Golick: That's pretty amazing, @LG.
	🥁 11:49am hyde: this was a great show. thanks!
	11:50am Jeff Golick: "My band has Herbie Hancock AND Chick Corea. Who does your band have?"
	11:50am Jeff Golick: My absolute pleasure, @hyde. So glad you were here for it.
	🥁 11:51am doctorjazz: Thanks for the biking sound track, Jeff, helping me power through. Great week, all (6-7 Miles still to go...)
	11:54am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, the crazy thing is that you could make that joke about any instrument in his bands, and it would be just as good. "My horn section is John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley. What's yours?"
	11:54am Listener Gregory: By the way, I can tell that we're getting very close to "If I Were a Bell"!!!
	11:55am Jeff Golick: So close, @LG, but I hate to tell you this...
	11:56am Jeff Golick: @doctorjazz: glad to be along for your ride!
	🥁 11:56am Granny Spicy Tuna: been enjoying this very much, thank you, Jeff!
	11:57am Jeff Golick: Great to have you here for it, as always, @GST!
	12:00pm Dean: I remember finding a bunch of close-out LPs of early-ish Miles at Tower Records, those Prestige reissues. Grabbed a few. Glad I have 'em.
	12:00pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the great show, Jeff.
	12:00pm Listener Gregory: Didn't Doug do this as part of his Eddie Jefferson set on Friday? The Jefferson version of this is quite good.
	12:01pm holland oats: @dean nyc by any chance? i worked at 4th and away 91-92
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks for this magic carpet of Miles!
	12:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff! take care
	12:01pm Dean: Nope, holland oats. West Covina!
	12:01pm holland oats: *bway
	12:02pm holland oats: ah k
	12:02pm Listener Gregory: Jeff, if I were a bell, I'd go "ding dong ding dong ding!" But I'm not, so just thanks for a great show. Will be AWOL next week but will catch the archive.
	12:03pm Dean: Maybe WKCR has never heard of him?
	12:05pm Listener Gregory: Also, very late comment, if there were a Miles Davis church, it would have to have an expletive in its name.
	12:07pm Jeff Golick: Thanks and bye-ya, @UM, @LG, @ho; @ljfw; @coel; and all!
	12:08pm Jeff Golick: And @Dean!
