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.

BUT here's a video of him persuading a skeptical politician that maybe PBS (or CPB, I forget) should be funded.
Relevant today still.
(And yes, an argument can be made that PBS doesn't really serve "the public" as well as it should. But even as it is, I don't think we'd be better off without it.)

the music is pretty solid, but i bought it just because i thought the album art looked pretty cool (an anthropomorphic violin, double bass, drum set, and piano seated at a counter at an ice cream parlor)
