Listener comments!
	6:06pm adamdoesit: Yo DJ Peter. Ho horologists. Be safe and well Angelinos. Minestrone's in the instapot, bread and oil on the counter. Help yourselves.
	6:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 that's comforting! good to see you, adamdoesit
	6:09pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 Likewise Peter.
	🕰 6:10pm WR: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 Soup sounds comforting. thanks.
	6:11pm Jeff g. via app: It is on!
	🕰 6:11pm WR: Hi DJ Peter. That clock looks like it's been through a fire or something. Timely.
	6:13pm DJ Peter: WR: soup is good food. Yes, that clock captures the mood. I'm not broken but I am hurting.
	6:13pm DJ Peter: Thank Jeff for the photo. I'll start: Thanks, Jeff! For the photo!
	6:17pm doctorjazz: Lee Konitz is still recording, AMAZING! Hey DJ Peter, watchmakers! Soup here too (but too tired to prepare, pho from a local place).
	6:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Haiti" by "Jakob Bro" have to say, Konitz does sould a bit winded...
	6:18pm DJ Peter: Hey Doc. Yeah, glad for me L-Ko. L-Kon? Lee-ko?
	🕰 6:19pm Jeff Golick: This sounds good even coming out of my phone speakers.
	6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:19 ECM? or Ornette?
	6:22pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ doctorjazz @6:17 Unfortunately, doctorjazz, Lee Konitz is not still recording. He was an early COVID victim in April 2020.
	🕰 6:23pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @6:17 In 2014 Konitz would have been about 86.
	6:23pm doctorjazz: My old man kvetch (adamdoesit has heard this rant, some others have too). Why are drummers so loud, drowning out bandmates? Twice recently I've been to the Village Vanguard, once was Tyshawn Sorey with Vijay Iyer (was seated on the drummer side of the Vanguard, blamed that on the sound that night). This past week went to see Kris Davis (Jonathan Blake on Drums). Was sitting on the piano side of the Vanguard, further back, should have been a more balanced sound, but again, Blake (who is terrific) was often drowning out Davis. Understanding Lenny Tristano, who hated drummers!
	6:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @6:22 Oh, I didn't remember that (and saw the 2024 date for the ECM record). Now I feel bad...(that's what I get for my old man rants...)
	🕰 6:24pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @6:21 ECM, but I confess the transition was so smooth I think I missed it.
	6:26pm DJ Peter: Greetings Doug! Jeff I wonder if ECM mixes work well on phones generally. that would be surprising at first blush but maybe!
	6:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blind Willie McTell" by "Mary Ehrlich's Dark Wood... Reminds of St James Infirmary.
	🕰 6:28pm Jeff Golick: Huh. The phone stream is quite a bit behind the pop-up broadcast.
	6:29pm adamdoesit: Twice recently I've been at sea in a small boat, and the water washed over the gunwales. Once I attributed it to sitting in the bow. This past week, I was wet to my ears at the middle thwart. Why can't the waves crest lower, don't they know my dinghy is barely eight feet long? (Sorry, doc. Been thinking about your kvetch. I agree with it, and also I don't.)
	6:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blind Willie McTell" by "Mary Ehrlich's Dark Wood... This is lovely!
	6:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @6:29 That's OK, the thing about old man kvetches is-nobody else has to agree with them... ;-)
	🕰 6:32pm Listener Gregory: Sorry I’m late—I was on a long phone call. Which is so great on clarinet that he doesn’t need to play soprano.
	🕰 6:36pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, according to Wikipedia, ‘The song's melody is loosely based on the jazz standard "St. James Infirmary Blues".[4]‘
	6:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:36 Wasn;t all that "loosely", at least in Ehrlich's 1st chorus, almost verbatum...
	6:40pm doctorjazz: 20 years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift...
	6:40pm adamdoesit: See, I think "eleven dollar bills" is compelling because it exists in the tension between (11) $1 bills and (n) $11 bills and yes I was a teenage lit major why?
	6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:40 yup yup yup exactly
	6:41pm doctorjazz: My favorite part of the Dylan movie was when Al Kooper shows up to play guitar, Bloomfield is already there to play guitar, and he sits down at the organ and lays down classic instrumental backing.
	6:42pm northguineahills: what time is it peter?
	6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:41 I leaned over to my wife at that moment and whispered: that seems made up but it's pretty much how it happened
	6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @6:42 check the pic up top, northguineahills. That's the time right now
	🕰 6:43pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @6:41 Al has related that story at length. Feeling outclassed on guitar, he moved to organ -- and could not hear himself play in the studio during the takes. He assumed he was terrible (not his first instrument?). On playback, Bob wanted the organ part turned up.
	6:43pm adamdoesit: Tapping out to eat some soup with the missus. Thanks, DJ Peter. If I'm not back in time, I'll catch you on the rewind.
	🕰 6:44pm WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:43 Yes, Kooper wrote about it in his auto-bio.
	6:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:43 I'd heard the story before, loved that they included it!
	🕰 6:46pm Jeff Golick: (I've yet to see the movie, I should add.)
	6:46pm doctorjazz: I couldn't understand most of Dylan's dialog (but it was mostly not that necessary, I take it).
	🕰 6:46pm Listener Gregory: Kooper said that it was good the organ was already turned on, or else he would have had to ask someone where the switch was.
	6:47pm DJ Peter: I really enjoyed the movie, and I generally hate biopics. I detested "Walk the Line" for example. Of course this is really not a biopic, it's only 4 years in the life. Edward Norton: oscar nomination and may win, mark my words
	6:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:47 i understand Dylan had a good bit of say what went into the movie (some fiction inserted he wanted, some stuff out or changed he didn't want in ).
	🕰 6:50pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Busted Bicycle" by "Leo Kottke" dang
	6:51pm doctorjazz: Loving this guitar music! Pho is here, will keep music on, but i never post with a full mouth...
	6:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:50 if you want to use the man's songs, you gotta please the man
	6:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:50 right?
	6:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Busted Bicycle" by "Leo Kottke" Much of the guitar riff of Prodigal Son, no? (Was terrific)
	6:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:54 Beats me! I believe you, is the important thing
	7:08pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "The Story of Dorothy Gooch Part I" by "John Fahey" love that album cover!
	7:09pm DJ Peter: me too, davefromtoronto! just now realizing the song i chose is singled out on the cover
	🕰 7:10pm Listener Gregory: Leo Kottke played quite near me last year, but I didn’t go, because I wasn’t convinced he is still alive.
	7:12pm davefromtoronto: ↳ DJ Peter @7:09 just googled - tom weller did it he was a 60's psychedelic concert poster designer
	🕰 7:15pm Listener Gregory: I’ve listened to the first disk of the Vanguard set, and I found the sound to be amazing for the era.
	7:16pm DJ Peter: whoops, Michael Bisio later. John Gunther now
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ davefromtoronto @7:12 Oh that's why it seems familiar! Thank for that!
	🕰 7:23pm Listener Gregory: Just replaced the battery in a beeping smoke detector. It took 30 seconds to switch batteries and 10 minutes to get the cover off and back on.
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:23 that sounds right
	7:35pm DJ Peter: Coleman Hawkins coming up: one of his best outings in his late years
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Flash of the Spirit" by "Bobby Zankel Quintet" Nice! (CIMP Records was part of Cafence Records, an upstate NY label that recorded adventurous music in audiophile sound).
	🕰 7:38pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for finding and uploading the original Vanguard covers for these. So great.
	7:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:38 what jeff said
	7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:38 I was gonna upload the original Vic Dickenson cover (coming up) but had to go with the 1970s twofer. You'll see why
	7:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:23 according to my housemate, it took the neighbors 2 years and a visit from the fire chief (it was driving me crazy when i moved here) (and it was the house next door)
	🕰 7:40pm Listener Gregory: I wish recordings from this century would get the rhythm sections as well as these Vanguards did. Even @doctorj can’t complain!
	🕰 7:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:40 There has to be a better technology for this.
	7:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:41 LG i swear if some tech bro comes up with a new smoke alarm and it's horrible i'm gonna have a talk with you
	🕰 7:44pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:42 The new ones -- Detectr -- will use AI to sense smoke and/or fire, but will confuse both with air.
	7:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:41 right? the thing that got me in the incident above, was the smoke alarm in my bedroom went off. i fixed it. went back on the deck to read. and I heard the ping again, so i took apart my smoke alarm, only to realize that this ping was coming from next door.
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 I would laugh but it's too plausible so instead i will curl up in the corner
	🕰 7:49pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "When You and I Were Young Maggie" by "Vic Dickenson" Ok, who started that cheetah on smokes?
	7:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:49 But mom! All the cats are doing it!
	7:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:40 I love great polyrhythmic drumming, but you can tone it down occasionally in A SET (reminds me of the old Groucho joke about his cigar...)
	7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:50 subbed in the original 12" cover, took some digging
	🕰 7:55pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:50 I believe you about those live shows you heard. It often happens when the drums are amplified, when they don’t need to be.
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:42 Don’t forget to laugh!
	7:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Refuge" by "Anthony Braxton" the first minute or so didn't sound like braxton, then it did!
	8:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and all
	8:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:49 it ain't easy, being cheesy!
	8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:01 hello tom tom!
	🕰 8:24pm Listener Gregory: I had an Anderson ECM record that I vaguely remember as being solo, but I won’t bet anything on that.
	🕰 8:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 Nope: Anders Jormin. Is he even a bass player? Yes, but the album was not solo.
	8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:30 Siri: "did you mean Anders Jormin. I need your location before I can tell you when he is open for business." Siri: "did you say solo cup?"
	🕰 8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "TYPUS" by "Stemeseder Lillinger + Craig Taborn" Interesting instrumentation.
	🕰 8:43pm Listener Gregory: Peter, does Taborn just play on one or two cuts of that Umbra III record?
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bajou Sketches" by "The World Saxophone Quartett" Wotta great band (saw them a number of times).
	8:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 Funny you should ask! The album has only two cuts, the first is 40+ minutes long (concert performance). Taborn is there the whole way.
	8:46pm doctorjazz: Thanks, DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:46 Thanks. I might have to pick it up.
	🕰 8:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "Bajou Sketches" by "The World Saxophone Quartett" they did spell sketches correctly on the record label: www.discogs.com...
	8:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:47 oh thank god
	8:52pm northguineahills: thanks peter, t'was a fun romp!
	🕰 8:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Seventh Avenue" by "James "Trummie" Young's All-S... The band could be worse.
	🕰 8:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:56 I always forget how good Dizzy is until I hear him again. Thanks a lot for a great show, DJP!
	🕰 8:59pm WR: ↳ Song: "Seventh Avenue" by "James "Trummie" Young's All-S... I refuse to be kowtowed by it seeming that you have every Mosaic set and I have only a few.
	🕰 9:00pm WR: ↳ WR @8:59 A very catty way to say thank you for playing that 👍.
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Thanks for the tunes.
	9:01pm DJ Peter: You're welcome WR! Just doing my part to keep Mosaic in business. Thanks everybody!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from January 12, 2025

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Listener comments!
	6:06pm adamdoesit: Yo DJ Peter. Ho horologists. Be safe and well Angelinos. Minestrone's in the instapot, bread and oil on the counter. Help yourselves.
	6:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 that's comforting! good to see you, adamdoesit
	6:09pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 Likewise Peter.
	🕰 6:10pm WR: ↳ adamdoesit @6:06 Soup sounds comforting. thanks.
	6:11pm Jeff g. via app: It is on!
	🕰 6:11pm WR: Hi DJ Peter. That clock looks like it's been through a fire or something. Timely.
	6:13pm DJ Peter: WR: soup is good food. Yes, that clock captures the mood. I'm not broken but I am hurting.
	6:13pm DJ Peter: Thank Jeff for the photo. I'll start: Thanks, Jeff! For the photo!
	6:17pm doctorjazz: Lee Konitz is still recording, AMAZING! Hey DJ Peter, watchmakers! Soup here too (but too tired to prepare, pho from a local place).
	6:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Haiti" by "Jakob Bro" have to say, Konitz does sould a bit winded...
	6:18pm DJ Peter: Hey Doc. Yeah, glad for me L-Ko. L-Kon? Lee-ko?
	🕰 6:19pm Jeff Golick: This sounds good even coming out of my phone speakers.
	6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:19 ECM? or Ornette?
	6:22pm Doug Schulkind: ↳ doctorjazz @6:17 Unfortunately, doctorjazz, Lee Konitz is not still recording. He was an early COVID victim in April 2020.
	🕰 6:23pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @6:17 In 2014 Konitz would have been about 86.
	6:23pm doctorjazz: My old man kvetch (adamdoesit has heard this rant, some others have too). Why are drummers so loud, drowning out bandmates? Twice recently I've been to the Village Vanguard, once was Tyshawn Sorey with Vijay Iyer (was seated on the drummer side of the Vanguard, blamed that on the sound that night). This past week went to see Kris Davis (Jonathan Blake on Drums). Was sitting on the piano side of the Vanguard, further back, should have been a more balanced sound, but again, Blake (who is terrific) was often drowning out Davis. Understanding Lenny Tristano, who hated drummers!
	6:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @6:22 Oh, I didn't remember that (and saw the 2024 date for the ECM record). Now I feel bad...(that's what I get for my old man rants...)
	🕰 6:24pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @6:21 ECM, but I confess the transition was so smooth I think I missed it.
	6:26pm DJ Peter: Greetings Doug! Jeff I wonder if ECM mixes work well on phones generally. that would be surprising at first blush but maybe!
	6:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blind Willie McTell" by "Mary Ehrlich's Dark Wood... Reminds of St James Infirmary.
	🕰 6:28pm Jeff Golick: Huh. The phone stream is quite a bit behind the pop-up broadcast.
	6:29pm adamdoesit: Twice recently I've been at sea in a small boat, and the water washed over the gunwales. Once I attributed it to sitting in the bow. This past week, I was wet to my ears at the middle thwart. Why can't the waves crest lower, don't they know my dinghy is barely eight feet long? (Sorry, doc. Been thinking about your kvetch. I agree with it, and also I don't.)
	6:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blind Willie McTell" by "Mary Ehrlich's Dark Wood... This is lovely!
	6:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @6:29 That's OK, the thing about old man kvetches is-nobody else has to agree with them... ;-)
	🕰 6:32pm Listener Gregory: Sorry I’m late—I was on a long phone call. Which is so great on clarinet that he doesn’t need to play soprano.
	🕰 6:36pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, according to Wikipedia, ‘The song's melody is loosely based on the jazz standard "St. James Infirmary Blues".[4]‘
	6:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:36 Wasn;t all that "loosely", at least in Ehrlich's 1st chorus, almost verbatum...
	6:40pm doctorjazz: 20 years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift...
	6:40pm adamdoesit: See, I think "eleven dollar bills" is compelling because it exists in the tension between (11) $1 bills and (n) $11 bills and yes I was a teenage lit major why?
	6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:40 yup yup yup exactly
	6:41pm doctorjazz: My favorite part of the Dylan movie was when Al Kooper shows up to play guitar, Bloomfield is already there to play guitar, and he sits down at the organ and lays down classic instrumental backing.
	6:42pm northguineahills: what time is it peter?
	6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:41 I leaned over to my wife at that moment and whispered: that seems made up but it's pretty much how it happened
	6:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ northguineahills @6:42 check the pic up top, northguineahills. That's the time right now
	🕰 6:43pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @6:41 Al has related that story at length. Feeling outclassed on guitar, he moved to organ -- and could not hear himself play in the studio during the takes. He assumed he was terrible (not his first instrument?). On playback, Bob wanted the organ part turned up.
	6:43pm adamdoesit: Tapping out to eat some soup with the missus. Thanks, DJ Peter. If I'm not back in time, I'll catch you on the rewind.
	🕰 6:44pm WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:43 Yes, Kooper wrote about it in his auto-bio.
	6:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:43 I'd heard the story before, loved that they included it!
	🕰 6:46pm Jeff Golick: (I've yet to see the movie, I should add.)
	6:46pm doctorjazz: I couldn't understand most of Dylan's dialog (but it was mostly not that necessary, I take it).
	🕰 6:46pm Listener Gregory: Kooper said that it was good the organ was already turned on, or else he would have had to ask someone where the switch was.
	6:47pm DJ Peter: I really enjoyed the movie, and I generally hate biopics. I detested "Walk the Line" for example. Of course this is really not a biopic, it's only 4 years in the life. Edward Norton: oscar nomination and may win, mark my words
	6:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:47 i understand Dylan had a good bit of say what went into the movie (some fiction inserted he wanted, some stuff out or changed he didn't want in ).
	🕰 6:50pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Busted Bicycle" by "Leo Kottke" dang
	6:51pm doctorjazz: Loving this guitar music! Pho is here, will keep music on, but i never post with a full mouth...
	6:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:50 if you want to use the man's songs, you gotta please the man
	6:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @6:50 right?
	6:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Busted Bicycle" by "Leo Kottke" Much of the guitar riff of Prodigal Son, no? (Was terrific)
	6:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:54 Beats me! I believe you, is the important thing
	7:08pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "The Story of Dorothy Gooch Part I" by "John Fahey" love that album cover!
	7:09pm DJ Peter: me too, davefromtoronto! just now realizing the song i chose is singled out on the cover
	🕰 7:10pm Listener Gregory: Leo Kottke played quite near me last year, but I didn’t go, because I wasn’t convinced he is still alive.
	7:12pm davefromtoronto: ↳ DJ Peter @7:09 just googled - tom weller did it he was a 60's psychedelic concert poster designer
	🕰 7:15pm Listener Gregory: I’ve listened to the first disk of the Vanguard set, and I found the sound to be amazing for the era.
	7:16pm DJ Peter: whoops, Michael Bisio later. John Gunther now
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ davefromtoronto @7:12 Oh that's why it seems familiar! Thank for that!
	🕰 7:23pm Listener Gregory: Just replaced the battery in a beeping smoke detector. It took 30 seconds to switch batteries and 10 minutes to get the cover off and back on.
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:23 that sounds right
	7:35pm DJ Peter: Coleman Hawkins coming up: one of his best outings in his late years
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Flash of the Spirit" by "Bobby Zankel Quintet" Nice! (CIMP Records was part of Cafence Records, an upstate NY label that recorded adventurous music in audiophile sound).
	🕰 7:38pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for finding and uploading the original Vanguard covers for these. So great.
	7:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:38 what jeff said
	7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:38 I was gonna upload the original Vic Dickenson cover (coming up) but had to go with the 1970s twofer. You'll see why
	7:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:23 according to my housemate, it took the neighbors 2 years and a visit from the fire chief (it was driving me crazy when i moved here) (and it was the house next door)
	🕰 7:40pm Listener Gregory: I wish recordings from this century would get the rhythm sections as well as these Vanguards did. Even @doctorj can’t complain!
	🕰 7:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:40 There has to be a better technology for this.
	7:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:41 LG i swear if some tech bro comes up with a new smoke alarm and it's horrible i'm gonna have a talk with you
	🕰 7:44pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:42 The new ones -- Detectr -- will use AI to sense smoke and/or fire, but will confuse both with air.
	7:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:41 right? the thing that got me in the incident above, was the smoke alarm in my bedroom went off. i fixed it. went back on the deck to read. and I heard the ping again, so i took apart my smoke alarm, only to realize that this ping was coming from next door.
	7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 I would laugh but it's too plausible so instead i will curl up in the corner
	🕰 7:49pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "When You and I Were Young Maggie" by "Vic Dickenson" Ok, who started that cheetah on smokes?
	7:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:49 But mom! All the cats are doing it!
	7:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:40 I love great polyrhythmic drumming, but you can tone it down occasionally in A SET (reminds me of the old Groucho joke about his cigar...)
	7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:50 subbed in the original 12" cover, took some digging
	🕰 7:55pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:50 I believe you about those live shows you heard. It often happens when the drums are amplified, when they don’t need to be.
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:42 Don’t forget to laugh!
	7:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Refuge" by "Anthony Braxton" the first minute or so didn't sound like braxton, then it did!
	8:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and all
	8:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:49 it ain't easy, being cheesy!
	8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:01 hello tom tom!
	🕰 8:24pm Listener Gregory: I had an Anderson ECM record that I vaguely remember as being solo, but I won’t bet anything on that.
	🕰 8:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:24 Nope: Anders Jormin. Is he even a bass player? Yes, but the album was not solo.
	8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:30 Siri: "did you mean Anders Jormin. I need your location before I can tell you when he is open for business." Siri: "did you say solo cup?"
	🕰 8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "TYPUS" by "Stemeseder Lillinger + Craig Taborn" Interesting instrumentation.
	🕰 8:43pm Listener Gregory: Peter, does Taborn just play on one or two cuts of that Umbra III record?
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bajou Sketches" by "The World Saxophone Quartett" Wotta great band (saw them a number of times).
	8:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 Funny you should ask! The album has only two cuts, the first is 40+ minutes long (concert performance). Taborn is there the whole way.
	8:46pm doctorjazz: Thanks, DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:46 Thanks. I might have to pick it up.
	🕰 8:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "Bajou Sketches" by "The World Saxophone Quartett" they did spell sketches correctly on the record label: www.discogs.com...
	8:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:47 oh thank god
	8:52pm northguineahills: thanks peter, t'was a fun romp!
	🕰 8:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Seventh Avenue" by "James "Trummie" Young's All-S... The band could be worse.
	🕰 8:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:56 I always forget how good Dizzy is until I hear him again. Thanks a lot for a great show, DJP!
	🕰 8:59pm WR: ↳ Song: "Seventh Avenue" by "James "Trummie" Young's All-S... I refuse to be kowtowed by it seeming that you have every Mosaic set and I have only a few.
	🕰 9:00pm WR: ↳ WR @8:59 A very catty way to say thank you for playing that 👍.
	🕰 9:00pm WR: Thanks for the tunes.
	9:01pm DJ Peter: You're welcome WR! Just doing my part to keep Mosaic in business. Thanks everybody!
