	10:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Let’s hear some LP tracks
	🥁 10:02pm WR: Connected and ready for album side length tracks.
	🥁 10:02pm Candy-O'67: Ready to listen in, Kris and Matt!
	10:03pm Matt from New Orleans: My power was off for 9 hours today as Entergy was doing maintenance on some lines in my area. They didn’t notify me or any of my neighbors. It was a fun day in my warm apartment.
	🥁 10:04pm WR: Damn Matt, no fun.
	10:05pm Kris Holmes: He everyone, thanks for being here! LPs stress me out.
	🥁 10:08pm Candy-O'67: Matt, that sucks! Sorry you had to deal with that!
	🥁 10:10pm WR: Lee Morgan was the first legit jazz artist i saw in a night club, in San Francisco in I think June of 1970. I was just learning about jazz and not sure who all was in the band but it seemed like for each guy, after they had a feature part or solo Morgan would say "be sure to check out their new album, ...."
	10:12pm Matt from New Orleans: Here you go WR www.discogs.com...
	🥁 10:12pm WR: LOL, even playing LP cuts you selected a McGriff tune that was released on 45.
	10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: I have had the Spanish bootleg for many many years.
	🥁 10:15pm WR: Thanks Matt, I've looked at that and listened to it but still not sure if exactly that lineup.
	10:19pm Kris Holmes: Goddanm these songs seem so long!!!!
	🥁 10:21pm JtotheK: chiming in quick, always enjoy the lp going unsteady show! hiya mr holmes, hi everyone.
	🥁 10:21pm WR: It was so many new things happening that night (long story, won't go into it) I had hard time processing everything going on. Would like to think I heard Maupin that year, maybe it was, but could not connect the sax player i saw and heard with what was on Bitches Brew and the soon to come Hancock recordings.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Hi Jason.
	10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s not like you’ve played Castles in the Sand/Foxey Lady by Gil Evans at almost 12 minutes. Hi Jason.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: I'm already glad this is only once a year
	10:22pm Matt from New Orleans: I wish you’d play LPs more often
	10:22pm Kris Holmes: But dang this Larry Young is a shredfest
	10:23pm Kris Holmes: What are you trying to say there exactly Matt? Ha
	10:24pm Kris Holmes: Also, I pulled way too many LPs off the shelves for this, as usual. My timing is all off. Sleeves are already everywhere.
	🥁 10:24pm WR: Yes, this Larry Young recording is burning, somehow I overlooked it when I was buying recordings by him in the 70s.
	10:25pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m just saying that there’s plenty of good soul/funk/r&b that never got released on 45 especially as we hit the late 60s/early 70s.
	10:25pm Kris Holmes: I am convinced the only reason this is slept on way more than Unity from the same year is that the cover art is less iconic
	🥁 10:31pm WR: I don't recall seeing this cover in stores. Maybe it was out of print early / mid 70s. Maybe I just was too much of a hippie during that time and don't remember well. Gale on trumpet was great.
	10:33pm Kris Holmes: Two drummers too
	🥁 10:36pm WR: This Redman is fun. Have not heard it since it was issued on Arista in 75. I didn't appreciate the swing they had going on, somewhat similar to South African jams.
	10:36pm Kris Holmes: Very tribal, the whole album is great. There's some outstanding stuff on Arista Freedom.
	10:37pm Matt from New Orleans: Do you have this 45 Kris? www.discogs.com...
	10:37pm Matt from New Orleans: Really digging the different Jazz vibes
	10:38pm Kris Holmes: Nope
	10:39pm Kris Holmes: My LP collection is still pretty Jazzy
	10:39pm Matt from New Orleans: I like it. Not sure it’s worth whatever outrageous sums it probably goes for.
	10:40pm Kris Holmes: It's a cool 45. If I found it I'd file it. It has everything, sound & label design & it's a 45.
	10:42pm Matt from New Orleans: It has the same name as a Gary Bartz song from the following year but from what I can recall different songs.
	10:43pm Kris Holmes: Oh I might have that Gary Bartz 45
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: This seems to be the vocalist’s only performance/writing credit.
	10:56pm Kris Holmes: She was a performance poet in NYC, not a vocalist as such
	🥁 11:13pm WR: That Jackie McLean track is very interesting. Saw that LP around but I would have remembered if I heard that. Will be relistening to that one. I don't recall what you did last year and all the jazz tracks you've played have been great, but I was expecting you to go more in a funk direction with LPS. No complaint, just my thoughts.
	11:15pm Kris Holmes: I've been feeling pretty Jazzy lately
	11:24pm Matt from New Orleans: George Jackson had so much material that never got released
	🥁 11:34pm WR: Curious that Boogie Kings doesn't credit Covay on discogs. Wonder if typo or done like that on the LP.
	11:39pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s misspelled. It says Cova & Otta. Instead of Covay & Ott.
	11:42pm Matt from New Orleans: Now you’re just making your life difficult playing these short songs off of LPs. Way more cueing.
	11:43pm Kris Holmes: It's horrible!!!!! There is stuff everywhere
	🥁 11:48pm WR: That was a great set. Whole show had been outstanding.
	🥁 11:51pm WR: Like these guys are doing their own variation of Buffalo Springfield Expecting to Fly.
	11:52pm Matt from New Orleans: RIP Spencer
	🥁 11:54pm WR: Oh, shit, he passed yesterday.
	11:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Kris
	11:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Have a good night everyone
	🥁 11:55pm WR: Good night Matt.
	11:56pm Kris Holmes: Thanks everyone, hope you had fun!
