Using the wooof moo android app. Still learning the interface, but liking it so far. Anyway, saying hi and now off to do end of day chores, dishes, cat litter, recycle sorting, garbage out, etc. All to a soundtrack designed by Sam and his horse.

It's some dark storm. Damned uncanny.

Can we get some Ellis Marsalis, too? If not, it's okay. I'll do another local tribute.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:12pm
Sam Segal:

Truly, Doc. Feels almost unbearably sad to play three great musicians lost in one week back-to-back.
  10:13pm
Dean:

Four, goddammit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:13pm
Sam Segal:

I didn't program any Ellis Marsalis because I didn't know his music very well. Got any recommendations of stuff I should check out, Dean?
  10:14pm
Dean:

Heart of Gold is a good solo album. Dark Keys is with Branford, a trio, and another is just the two of them. HoG is really lovely, standards.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:16pm
doctorjazz:

Ellis Marsalis would be nice, hasn't gotten much attention.
  10:17pm
Dean:

Loved Ones is the one with Branford.
  10:21pm
Dean:

Twelve's It is a trio with his son Jason on drums. Can't recall how it sounds.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:21pm
ParUbi:

I have to confess that I really didn't know much of his work until this happened
  10:22pm
Dean:

I first learned of Prine from ... of course! ... those great Atlantic Records sleeves.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
doctorjazz:

Don't know a ton off his music (did see him in a trio in New Orleans), but like Fathers and Sons...the 1st half (5 tracks) was Ellis, with Wynton and Branford).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:22pm
WR:

Great Ellis Marsalis www.discogs.com...
  10:22pm

Branford's live record from Bloomington, dubbed "Bloomington," is one helluva great set.

I am much more familiar with this outfit
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
Franco Twinkie:

This is the first I heard about Hal. Very sad. Chresti and myself showed up late at a party, and the someone pointed to Hal across the room. I wracked my brain for something intelligent to say to him, but was drawing a blank, so I let it go. At least I saw him eating a cracker with something smeared on it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:30pm
coelacanth∅:

my first girlfriend ("as an adult"...rest in peace also) turned me onto John Prine. first song i heard, when i was 17, was "hello in there".
not familiar with Hal Willner, Wallace Roney or Ellis Marsalis
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:35pm
Sam Segal:

I wouldn't have known what to say to Hal Willner either, Franco. I think I first became aware of him when he did a satellite radio program with Lou Reed. Ornette's "Lonely Woman" was the theme. Might have been the first place I encountered that song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:37pm
ParUbi:

I bet "not knowing what to say" is a two-way street
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:40pm
Franco Twinkie:

The thing about talking to accomplished people, is they already know everything about the topic of themselves, so you better have a good angle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:41pm
ParUbi:

I also bet that's the last subject they want to talk about
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:42pm
ParUbi:

But, then again, that's a pretty big elephant in the room
  10:43pm
Dean:

No. Experts are as diverse as schmoes like me. Some of them claim their territory vigorously, probably because they're afraid of a contest. Others so adore the topic that they enjoy carrying on a real conversation -- not just a condescending lecture -- with genuinely interested or appreciative folks, even if it won't bolster their expertise.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:47pm
ParUbi:

But that's two different topics: themselves and what they love. If they're the same, you're screwed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:49pm
Doug Schulkind:

No accomplished person worth their own snot actually thinks or acts like they already know everything about their field of expertise. Believe me, I know everything there is to know about this.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:49pm
Franco Twinkie:

For years I worked in the film business around celebrities high and low. On set, it was a DMZ and could be quite relaxed,even jokey. But off stage the fence went back up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:52pm
coelacanth∅:

haha Doug

ParUbi:

Fame has got to be surreal. Everyone wants to be friends with your larger than life image.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
chresti:

Haha Doug.
  10:55pm
Dean:

You're only screwed to the extent that recognizing--or announcing--their messed-up relationship to their work somehow costs you something. That something might be a job or an invitation to a party.

My point is that there are plenty of real experts whose expertise is motivated by an intellectual curiosity that won't automatically dismiss inquiry by non-experts.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:59pm
Franco Twinkie:

When I worked in Hollywood, I would laugh how I spent my days rubbing elbows with famous people, but my nights were spent in a filthy dump by myself.

I can confirm that Doug is the Sublime Prince of All Human Knowledge.

doctorjazz:

We had a virtual Seder, Zoom app (a Zeder people have taken to calling it). Not quite the real thing, family in the room (and three Orthodox side of the family couldn't participate at all), but, hey, for the current situation, pretty nice.
  11:02pm
Dean:

The Sublime Prince has no clothes!

Wait, let me check.

Doug, what are you wearing?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03pm
Sam Segal:

Was there a virtual afikomen, Doc?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03pm

A Zoom Bombing from Elijah, perhaps?

Very cautious opening the door for Elijah, gotta say...

can't say i've ever heard any numbers from this album on the radio. good to hear, sam.

Thanks, Ham! I feel like Street Legal is a pretty underappreciated moment in Dylan's 70s discography.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:08pm
doctorjazz:

Cool Dylan, haven't paid much attention to his stuff after Blood on the Tracks, liked that.
  11:09pm
Dean:

Was working in a record store when Street Legal arrived. Took a while to learn to enjoy it.
  11:10pm
Dean:

Same for Slow Train Coming.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:10pm

Anyone listen to Dylan's new 17-minute JFK track?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:10pm
Sam Segal:

JFK assassination track, I meant to say.
Avatar 11:10pm
Hams:

ah, one of my favorites. always thought the sound of LEGAL was somewhat strange. like recorded live but just real quick in a studio.
  11:12pm
Dean:

No, Sam, but if you hum a few bars I'll fake it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:13pm
Franco Twinkie:

Sam, would you summarize before I google it?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:13pm
Sam Segal:

Haha, it's called "A Murder Most Foul." Promises to be my next go-to at karaoke when social distancing ends.
  11:13pm
Dean:

Ken played a parody of it today.
  11:14pm
Dean:

Suffice to say the parody was about chickens.
Avatar 11:14pm
Hams:

yeah, a lot of name dropping on it. i appreciated it. it's like one of those open-ended van morrison tracks, meandering & all. don't know if wfmu's debuted it yet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:16pm
Sam Segal:

Tough to sum up. I actually like it quite a bit. Its a rambling history of popular culture/subculture from 1963 on. Hell, maybe I'll play it two years from now.
  11:17pm
Dean:

If you're taking requests, I'd like to hear Alan Hull's "One More Bottle of Wine."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18pm
Franco Twinkie:

A friends dad was the first FBI agent on the scene the night it happened. When I met him at a party, I kind of hemmed and hawed around the subject, but I had to know. Man! he got right into it while we were stuffing potato salad in our mouths.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:18pm
Sam Segal:

I actually don't know that tune, Dean.
  11:20pm

From his Squire album. Not to be missed.

@Franco, any forensic details we should be made aware that you gleaned from that conversation?

Strangely, I have forgotten every thing he said.

Pity about John Prine. Glad he got a album out recently and I got to hear of John Prine before he died so I knew he was.

@WR: That Abrams album has an excellent electronic piece, which I played several weeks back on the show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40pm

Prine played in Brooklyn, King's Theater, a year or so ago. I had thought of getting tickets, but didn't, kicking myself.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:40pm
WR:

And I thank you for making me aware of it. I bought about 8 Black Saint CD box sets a few years ago for fairly cheap from Amazon. Getting so many at once didn't dive into them very much.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:40pm
Sam Segal:

That "Tree of Forgiveness" record really is a treasure.
  11:41pm
Chris Farrell:

Information is key for everything.

I one time requested New Grass Revival and New Riders of Purple Sage play a blue grass festival in Minnesota. I thought they were some up and coming blue grass players, they evidentially hadn’t been really relevant since the 1980s.

The festival was later named “revival” and I attributed that partly to my request. Similar to a man peeing in the ocean thinking “every little bit helps”
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:43pm

Franco then you probably don't remember that clicky thing they did after the conversation, when you suddenly found yourself in a different location.

I like the new Dylan track. A portrait of the 60s with assassination as a significant inflection. No hidden meaning, a portrait from his POV for others entertainment, yes it is primarily an entertainment.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49pm

Cool band, Sam!
  11:50pm

I bet you're thinking of Jeff Golick, whose opening tune is from Roscoe Mitchell. Could be wrong, though.
