	🕰 ♥ 6:03pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 6:05pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Good evening DJ Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:05pm WR: Peter, did you follow the link that Sam shared Wednesday on his show? Poet Clark Coolidge essay based on presentation he made regarding flow / sound of writing, specifically focused on Jack Kerouac and bebop and jazz. www.writing.upenn.edu...
	🕰 ♥ 6:05pm doctorjazz: Think votes, not zebras (except when it's a zebra). Hi DJP and clockmeisters!
	🕰 ♥ 6:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:05 Think horses, ,not zebras, shudda said... (But that's Sam Segal's show...)
	🕰 ♥ 6:08pm DJ Peter: WR: thanks for the tip, I will check it out! LG: and yet you are here! ChristinaInCanada: greetings to you and all above the 49th Parallel! adamdoesit, what does an adamdoesitbot sound like? pot8o so glad your eyes are on the chat (see what i did there?) Ivan: hello hello doctorjazz: have you figured out which concerts you're attending this week?
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 Don't have any scheduled, but have a half dozen tabs open of shows I'd LIKE to see @ Roulette/ Brooklyn..
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:10 anthony davis!
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:10 (but many of them are on school nights...)
	🕰 ♥ 6:13pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "This Side - Catville" by "Joe Lovano" after half a century ECM is still releasing solid gold
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "This Side - Catville" by "Joe Lovano" I think I am hearing 90% Eicher, 10% Van Gelder in the sound of this.
	🕰 ♥ 6:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 You heading to Philly/Solar Myth (you need to visit your chair).
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm WR: ↳ WR @6:05 I've not finished reading the essay. Taking the time to go listen to the music he references (Parker, Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Woody Herman with drummer Dave Tough, Cecil Taylor, Lester Young). Lots to dive into a enjoy along with the concepts being presented.
	🕰 ♥ 6:18pm adamdoesit: An adamdoesitbot sounds just like this, cos that's what I am. All I'm hearing is Joe Lovano. I expect that's what both Eicher and van Gelder would have wanted.
	🕰 ♥ 6:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:15 I have not been to Solar Myth since for maybe 10 months! Life gets in the way! My chair abides.
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:16 I'll do a Woody Herman and Dave Tough set at some future date!
	🕰 ♥ 6:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Human Intelligence (interlude)" by "Christoph Irn... “Human Intelligence”—that’s funny!
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @6:20 The aspect referenced in the essay, which may only be found in some air check recording, is drummer Tough's sometimes playing a few more bass drum beats after the band has ended.
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:22 The Late Set podcast has a nice conversation with Aja Monet, she says the counter to Artificial Intelligence is Emotional Intelligence
	🕰 ♥ 6:25pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:22 note they specify "interlude". In other words, a segment where there may be the appearance of intelligence.
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 I am screwed, then!
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 Subscribing, thanks.
	🕰 ♥ 6:28pm doctorjazz: Myra Melford is one of those open tabs, show at Roulette... roulette.org...
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:28 Ooh... the fire and water group!
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 I listened to one of their podcasts (on Record Store Day jazz releases), haven't been able to get through it...
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:30 And this is a topic I'm really interested in...)
	♥ 6:32pm luca v: good evening
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm DJ Peter: ah there's the groove i've been waiting for
	🕰 ♥ 6:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "House of Steam" by "Nels Cline" This album is superb, and I will ask @doctorj to fight anyone who says it isn't!! Not foolin here.
	🕰 ♥ 6:33pm DJ Peter: and to you, luca v. are you related to the Philadelphia "v" 's?
	♥ 6:34pm luca v: ↳ DJ Peter @6:33 no, it’s just my middle initial. i’m changing the way i spell my name and someone in the woof moo digital ecosystem is sitting on the name “luca”
	♥ 6:34pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "House of Steam" by "Nels Cline" Great!
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "House of Steam" by "Nels Cline" Saw The Consentric Quartet (at Solar Myth, not too long ago).
	6:42pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Koan 25: we don’t vote our dreams / they come aft... reminds me a bit of kew rhone by greaves/blegvad/herman
	6:43pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Koan 24: verbs everywhere / except in this langua... oh yeah this is going on my bandcamp wantlist
	🕰 ♥ 6:44pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Koan 22: fit time to place / even the middle / by... Laubrock has at least one previous album focusing on her compositions featuring the “classical” EOS Chamber Orchestra: Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt. That was well received in classical circles, I believe. Well, I read one positive review. I liked it.
	🕰 ♥ 6:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ A Bump in Burbank @6:34 Glad!
	♥ 6:49pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:49 Greetings!
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sketches of Drunken Mary" by "Horace Tapscott" Dean mentioned this (2 cd) set during Stork's Tapscott Birthday Broadcast (he didn't have it). It is indeed great sounding (at least from this track).
	🕰 ♥ 6:52pm doctorjazz: Some good shows coming to Solar Myth... mailchi.mp...
	🕰 ♥ 6:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:50 (Dean had it, Stork didn't)
	🕰 ♥ 6:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:53 definitely an important album for me
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm doctorjazz: As usual, need to head out here, will catch the rest in the Archive. Thanks, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:56 vaya con dios, doctorjazz!
	7:02pm fractal84: Hello from Providence RI
	🕰 ♥ 7:02pm Listener Gregory: Mood Librarian is the name of the poem Laubrock used.
	7:03pm inky bob: Hello from Lon do just gone midnight in bed g or lazy listening : )
	7:05pm inky bob: Had to correct the typos …. Hello from London just gone midnight in bed for lazy listening : )
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ inky bob @7:05 Hi inky bob! this should smooth your way to dreamland
	🕰 ♥ 7:06pm DJ Peter: Hello fractal84! I was aware that RI had enough room for that many fractals!
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:06 (as a Delawarean maybe I shouldn't be talking smack about other small states)
	7:11pm inky bob: Lovely sounds
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Woods (aka The Piano Player)" by "Duke Ellington" Those woodwind voicings! That Harry Carney!
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:16 Yeah - you do miss Johnny Hodges but Carney is still there!
	♥ 7:20pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Woods (aka The Piano Player)" by "Duke Ellington" There was never a time when Duke seemed diminished. His piano playing was always fantastic. Those 60s recordingsvwith Coltrane are superb - and he even allows himself some dissonance to match the great sax player. I love him.
	🕰 ♥ 7:32pm Listener Gregory: I find Mel Powell’s story to be incredibly weird. How did someone who played w Benny Goodman get hooked on serial compositions???
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 imagine Benny Goodman. But at 17. and with thicker glasses. does that help?
	🕰 ♥ 7:34pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Makin' Whoopee" by "Mel Powell Trio" The Vice Prez indeed. Mel Powell sounding not a little Basie, too.
	7:36pm Jeff g. via app: Ain’t this just the jauntiest!
	🕰 ♥ 7:36pm adamdoesit: ↳ adamdoesit @7:34 Like, do you think they might be quasi-covering the Lester Young Trio (Prez, Basie, Rich) record of a couple three years prior?
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:36 absotively they are aware of that. John Hammond produced this session
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @7:36 like Tigger in spats!
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:37 Do you think Hammond was like, "Do this?"
	♥ 7:45pm tom tom the pipers son: Hi Peter and all...in transit from moten/Lopez...
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "A City Called Heaven" by "Ruby Braff and Ellis La... I dug into the release history (album covers) of this one and... I was disturbed but not surprised by what i found: bsky.app...
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:45 how was it, tom tom?!
	🕰 ♥ 7:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:44 The Mosaic liner notes suggest that Benny Goodman's trio (which Powell played in) is the more direct inspiration
	♥ 7:51pm tom tom the pipers son: Unlike a recording I heard which was urgent..very loose...felt sort of lost... Lopez is always on point, ithink
	🕰 ♥ 7:52pm Listener Gregory: You know, Peter, I just finished listening to the first Mosaic Vanguard set—literally yesterday. So, this is very cruel on your part.
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "What Is There To Say" by "Ruby Braff and Ellis La... Fifties jazz got the prettiest tunes. The things that came of overturning them were great and everything, but.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Like Someone In Love" by "Lee Morgan - Clifford J... Piano may be missing some strings. A shame, because Hicks is so good.
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:00 John Hicks is one of those pianists that every time he turns up on a record I'm like, man I need to make a point of chasing down more... and then I forget... Anybody who got the nod from Betty Carter is someone to take seriously!
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Like Someone In Love" by "Lee Morgan - Clifford J... Nice proof that relaxed blowing on standards persisted into the revolutionary decade (as it does still).
	🕰 ♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:03 Well put, adam! Yeah when I heard this track I was like: i love this tempo. wait... doesn't someone else do this tempo on this tune? and then it came to me: Dolphy and Little at the Five Spot -- also with Ed Blackwell!
	🕰 ♥ 8:06pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 Yup yup yup. Thanks for playing this stuff as my financial future sublimates in a puff of tiny-handed hubris, DJ Peter. Best deck chair on the Titanic is right here.
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:06 At least we're all in the same, uh, boat.
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:07 Hahahaha oy.
	♥ 8:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:07 Don't cry for me Argentina has gained new resonance
	🕰 ♥ 8:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:09 I think this may be the new slogan of The Laughing Clock: Hahahaha oy!
	♥ 8:17pm tom tom the pipers son: Nothing to do with Titanic but with millei/Trump world being created
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm DJ Peter: Mike Lupica is back! I hope he likes the set I have planned leading into the top of the hour! wfmu.org...
	8:18pm bigplanetnoise: Greetings, DJ P!
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Light Blue Frolic" by "David Murray" Strangely, this piano seems to have most of its strings and to be in tune! Hicks powers through anyway.
	🕰 ♥ 8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:18 Hi BPN! Has the weather down there! I think you'll like my closing set... 1960s well reppred
	♥ 8:21pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:18 🎹🎹😂
	8:26pm bigplanetnoise: DJ P - Weather has been great! Ready for the last set!
	8:40pm Kat in the chat: Just tuning in, not what I expected to hear but I do love me some Cameo
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm Listener Gregory: At my next wedding, I’ll ask Jeff G to DJ it and tell him, “Don’t spare the horses!” This should save me a chunk of the bar tab, as people realize they have to get back sooner than expected.
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:40 how can you not!
	🕰 ♥ 8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:40 One long [Ahmed] cut should do the trick.
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:41 be careful: if Jeff starts spinning the new wave hits people will hang!
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm adamdoesit: My wife and I got married at Brooklyn Borough Hall, and had a party at our apartment. But if DJ Kim or arlo had been there, yeah, that would've been pretty great.
	🕰 ♥ 8:44pm DJ Peter: i am thrilled not to have had a DJ and indeed to have had only 2 guests at my wedding, in August 2020, masked and in a lovely backyard garden, presided over by my best friend
	8:47pm Dean: My wife and I spent the evening of our wedding at Al's Bar (one of two punk ground-zero sites in LA) east of downtown LA. Drunk Horse played, and not too long ago they played a dive bar near our Berkeley abode. We saw them again, almost 25 years later.
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:44 That sounds pretty good, assuming you barbecued or something.
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:47 just another band from east of downtown l.a.
	🕰 ♥ 8:48pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 "You may baste the pork, and kiss the bride."
	8:48pm Dean: As a matter of fact, Los Lobos played the Olympic Auditorium c.1980, opening for Public Image. One hella fuck of a show. To boot, David Hidalgo was a patron with his kids at the public library where I worked in Whittier.
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Doin' The Madison - Part 1 (Roulette 4250)" by "M... Sounds like Mel Torme talking to me.
	8:51pm bigplanetnoise: This is great!
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Doin' The Madison - Part 1 (Roulette 4250)" by "M... en.wikipedia.org...
	8:52pm Kat in the chat: Sounds like they’re doing all sixteen dances
	♥ 8:53pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 I'm doin the Camel Walk
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm adamdoesit: Thank you, DJ Peter. Back into the Madison line I go…
	8:57pm bigplanetnoise: Thanks, DJ P!
	8:57pm Dean: Just now listening at home to a work for "flute-playing clock" by Beethoven. It's impressive. Rises above the Haydn and even the Mozart.
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, DJP! Good night to you and all the P-Squad.
	♥ 9:15pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter! tchau
	🕰 ♥ 9:49pm WR: Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 10:26am doctorjazz: I just finished catching up-great rest of show (the Vanguard/Mosaic sets look/sound good, damn!!!). Fun last set (more using Abdullah Ibrahim as talk over, tsk tsk). Thanks DJ Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from April 6, 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.

ChristinaInCanada: greetings to you and all above the 49th Parallel! adamdoesit, what does an adamdoesitbot sound like? pot8o so glad your eyes are on the chat (see what i did there?) Ivan: hello hello doctorjazz: have you figured out which concerts you're attending this week?
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 Don't have any scheduled, but have a half dozen tabs open of shows I'd LIKE to see @ Roulette/ Brooklyn..
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:10 anthony davis!
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:10 (but many of them are on school nights...)
	🕰 ♥ 6:13pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "This Side - Catville" by "Joe Lovano" after half a century ECM is still releasing solid gold
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "This Side - Catville" by "Joe Lovano" I think I am hearing 90% Eicher, 10% Van Gelder in the sound of this.
	🕰 ♥ 6:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 You heading to Philly/Solar Myth (you need to visit your chair).
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm WR: ↳ WR @6:05 I've not finished reading the essay. Taking the time to go listen to the music he references (Parker, Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Woody Herman with drummer Dave Tough, Cecil Taylor, Lester Young). Lots to dive into a enjoy along with the concepts being presented.
	🕰 ♥ 6:18pm adamdoesit: An adamdoesitbot sounds just like this, cos that's what I am. All I'm hearing is Joe Lovano. I expect that's what both Eicher and van Gelder would have wanted.
	🕰 ♥ 6:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:15 I have not been to Solar Myth since for maybe 10 months! Life gets in the way! My chair abides.
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:16 I'll do a Woody Herman and Dave Tough set at some future date!
	🕰 ♥ 6:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Human Intelligence (interlude)" by "Christoph Irn... “Human Intelligence”—that’s funny!
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm WR: ↳ DJ Peter @6:20 The aspect referenced in the essay, which may only be found in some air check recording, is drummer Tough's sometimes playing a few more bass drum beats after the band has ended.
	🕰 ♥ 6:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:22 The Late Set podcast has a nice conversation with Aja Monet, she says the counter to Artificial Intelligence is Emotional Intelligence
	🕰 ♥ 6:25pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:22 note they specify "interlude". In other words, a segment where there may be the appearance of intelligence.
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 I am screwed, then!
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 Subscribing, thanks.
	🕰 ♥ 6:28pm doctorjazz: Myra Melford is one of those open tabs, show at Roulette... roulette.org...
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:28 Ooh... the fire and water group!
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:24 I listened to one of their podcasts (on Record Store Day jazz releases), haven't been able to get through it...
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:30 And this is a topic I'm really interested in...)

	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm DJ Peter: ah there's the groove i've been waiting for
	🕰 ♥ 6:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "House of Steam" by "Nels Cline" This album is superb, and I will ask @doctorj to fight anyone who says it isn't!! Not foolin here.
	🕰 ♥ 6:33pm DJ Peter: and to you, luca v. are you related to the Philadelphia "v" 's?
	♥ 6:34pm luca v: ↳ DJ Peter @6:33 no, it’s just my middle initial. i’m changing the way i spell my name and someone in the woof moo digital ecosystem is sitting on the name “luca”
	♥ 6:34pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "House of Steam" by "Nels Cline" Great!
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "House of Steam" by "Nels Cline" Saw The Consentric Quartet (at Solar Myth, not too long ago).
	6:42pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Koan 25: we don’t vote our dreams / they come aft... reminds me a bit of kew rhone by greaves/blegvad/herman
	6:43pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Koan 24: verbs everywhere / except in this langua... oh yeah this is going on my bandcamp wantlist
	🕰 ♥ 6:44pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Koan 22: fit time to place / even the middle / by... Laubrock has at least one previous album focusing on her compositions featuring the “classical” EOS Chamber Orchestra: Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt. That was well received in classical circles, I believe. Well, I read one positive review. I liked it.
	🕰 ♥ 6:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ A Bump in Burbank @6:34 Glad!
	♥ 6:49pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:49 Greetings!
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sketches of Drunken Mary" by "Horace Tapscott" Dean mentioned this (2 cd) set during Stork's Tapscott Birthday Broadcast (he didn't have it). It is indeed great sounding (at least from this track).
	🕰 ♥ 6:52pm doctorjazz: Some good shows coming to Solar Myth... mailchi.mp...
	🕰 ♥ 6:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:50 (Dean had it, Stork didn't)
	🕰 ♥ 6:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:53 definitely an important album for me
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm doctorjazz: As usual, need to head out here, will catch the rest in the Archive. Thanks, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:56 vaya con dios, doctorjazz!
	7:02pm fractal84: Hello from Providence RI
	🕰 ♥ 7:02pm Listener Gregory: Mood Librarian is the name of the poem Laubrock used.
	7:03pm inky bob: Hello from Lon do just gone midnight in bed g or lazy listening : )
	7:05pm inky bob: Had to correct the typos …. Hello from London just gone midnight in bed for lazy listening : )
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ inky bob @7:05 Hi inky bob! this should smooth your way to dreamland
	🕰 ♥ 7:06pm DJ Peter: Hello fractal84! I was aware that RI had enough room for that many fractals!
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:06 (as a Delawarean maybe I shouldn't be talking smack about other small states)
	7:11pm inky bob: Lovely sounds
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Woods (aka The Piano Player)" by "Duke Ellington" Those woodwind voicings! That Harry Carney!
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:16 Yeah - you do miss Johnny Hodges but Carney is still there!
	♥ 7:20pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Woods (aka The Piano Player)" by "Duke Ellington" There was never a time when Duke seemed diminished. His piano playing was always fantastic. Those 60s recordingsvwith Coltrane are superb - and he even allows himself some dissonance to match the great sax player. I love him.
	🕰 ♥ 7:32pm Listener Gregory: I find Mel Powell’s story to be incredibly weird. How did someone who played w Benny Goodman get hooked on serial compositions???
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 imagine Benny Goodman. But at 17. and with thicker glasses. does that help?
	🕰 ♥ 7:34pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Makin' Whoopee" by "Mel Powell Trio" The Vice Prez indeed. Mel Powell sounding not a little Basie, too.
	7:36pm Jeff g. via app: Ain’t this just the jauntiest!
	🕰 ♥ 7:36pm adamdoesit: ↳ adamdoesit @7:34 Like, do you think they might be quasi-covering the Lester Young Trio (Prez, Basie, Rich) record of a couple three years prior?
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:36 absotively they are aware of that. John Hammond produced this session
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff g. via app @7:36 like Tigger in spats!
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:37 Do you think Hammond was like, "Do this?"
	♥ 7:45pm tom tom the pipers son: Hi Peter and all...in transit from moten/Lopez...
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "A City Called Heaven" by "Ruby Braff and Ellis La... I dug into the release history (album covers) of this one and... I was disturbed but not surprised by what i found: bsky.app...
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:45 how was it, tom tom?!
	🕰 ♥ 7:50pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:44 The Mosaic liner notes suggest that Benny Goodman's trio (which Powell played in) is the more direct inspiration
	♥ 7:51pm tom tom the pipers son: Unlike a recording I heard which was urgent..very loose...felt sort of lost... Lopez is always on point, ithink
	🕰 ♥ 7:52pm Listener Gregory: You know, Peter, I just finished listening to the first Mosaic Vanguard set—literally yesterday. So, this is very cruel on your part.
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "What Is There To Say" by "Ruby Braff and Ellis La... Fifties jazz got the prettiest tunes. The things that came of overturning them were great and everything, but.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Like Someone In Love" by "Lee Morgan - Clifford J... Piano may be missing some strings. A shame, because Hicks is so good.
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:00 John Hicks is one of those pianists that every time he turns up on a record I'm like, man I need to make a point of chasing down more... and then I forget... Anybody who got the nod from Betty Carter is someone to take seriously!
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Like Someone In Love" by "Lee Morgan - Clifford J... Nice proof that relaxed blowing on standards persisted into the revolutionary decade (as it does still).
	🕰 ♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:03 Well put, adam! Yeah when I heard this track I was like: i love this tempo. wait... doesn't someone else do this tempo on this tune? and then it came to me: Dolphy and Little at the Five Spot -- also with Ed Blackwell!
	🕰 ♥ 8:06pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 Yup yup yup. Thanks for playing this stuff as my financial future sublimates in a puff of tiny-handed hubris, DJ Peter. Best deck chair on the Titanic is right here.
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:06 At least we're all in the same, uh, boat.
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:07 Hahahaha oy.
	♥ 8:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:07 Don't cry for me Argentina has gained new resonance
	🕰 ♥ 8:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:09 I think this may be the new slogan of The Laughing Clock: Hahahaha oy!
	♥ 8:17pm tom tom the pipers son: Nothing to do with Titanic but with millei/Trump world being created
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm DJ Peter: Mike Lupica is back! I hope he likes the set I have planned leading into the top of the hour! wfmu.org...
	8:18pm bigplanetnoise: Greetings, DJ P!
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Light Blue Frolic" by "David Murray" Strangely, this piano seems to have most of its strings and to be in tune! Hicks powers through anyway.
	🕰 ♥ 8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:18 Hi BPN! Has the weather down there! I think you'll like my closing set... 1960s well reppred
	♥ 8:21pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:18 🎹🎹😂
	8:26pm bigplanetnoise: DJ P - Weather has been great! Ready for the last set!
	8:40pm Kat in the chat: Just tuning in, not what I expected to hear but I do love me some Cameo
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm Listener Gregory: At my next wedding, I’ll ask Jeff G to DJ it and tell him, “Don’t spare the horses!” This should save me a chunk of the bar tab, as people realize they have to get back sooner than expected.
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:40 how can you not!
	🕰 ♥ 8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:40 One long [Ahmed] cut should do the trick.
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:41 be careful: if Jeff starts spinning the new wave hits people will hang!
	🕰 ♥ 8:43pm adamdoesit: My wife and I got married at Brooklyn Borough Hall, and had a party at our apartment. But if DJ Kim or arlo had been there, yeah, that would've been pretty great.
	🕰 ♥ 8:44pm DJ Peter: i am thrilled not to have had a DJ and indeed to have had only 2 guests at my wedding, in August 2020, masked and in a lovely backyard garden, presided over by my best friend
	8:47pm Dean: My wife and I spent the evening of our wedding at Al's Bar (one of two punk ground-zero sites in LA) east of downtown LA. Drunk Horse played, and not too long ago they played a dive bar near our Berkeley abode. We saw them again, almost 25 years later.
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:44 That sounds pretty good, assuming you barbecued or something.
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:47 just another band from east of downtown l.a.
	🕰 ♥ 8:48pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 "You may baste the pork, and kiss the bride."
	8:48pm Dean: As a matter of fact, Los Lobos played the Olympic Auditorium c.1980, opening for Public Image. One hella fuck of a show. To boot, David Hidalgo was a patron with his kids at the public library where I worked in Whittier.
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Doin' The Madison - Part 1 (Roulette 4250)" by "M... Sounds like Mel Torme talking to me.
	8:51pm bigplanetnoise: This is great!
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Doin' The Madison - Part 1 (Roulette 4250)" by "M... en.wikipedia.org...
	8:52pm Kat in the chat: Sounds like they’re doing all sixteen dances
	♥ 8:53pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 I'm doin the Camel Walk
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm adamdoesit: Thank you, DJ Peter. Back into the Madison line I go…
	8:57pm bigplanetnoise: Thanks, DJ P!
	8:57pm Dean: Just now listening at home to a work for "flute-playing clock" by Beethoven. It's impressive. Rises above the Haydn and even the Mozart.
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, DJP! Good night to you and all the P-Squad.
	♥ 9:15pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter! tchau
	🕰 ♥ 9:49pm WR: Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 10:26am doctorjazz: I just finished catching up-great rest of show (the Vanguard/Mosaic sets look/sound good, damn!!!). Fun last set (more using Abdullah Ibrahim as talk over, tsk tsk). Thanks DJ Peter!
