	9:17pm Irene Trudel: Hey Monica! Great to have you here.
	9:22pm JSG: Thanks for this. So far so awesome.
	9:36pm JakeGould: FWIW, I can’t stop looking at the flashlight on that control console. The hands-on IT tech in me pictures a lot of “What the heck broke now?” moments with that hunk of plastic.
	9:37pm bobdoesthings: hey yo bros - sup?
	9:41pm Irene Trudel: You know it, Jake! In every radio studio I've worked in there's a flashlight for those moments too.
	9:55pm fleep: Jazz applause is so darn cool.
	9:56pm Irene Trudel: By the way, Happy Birthday to Matt from Springfield! (I'll get to your request next week, Matt.)
	9:57pm KP: This Hutchinson is pretty amazing
	9:57pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for this show, Irene!
	9:58pm Irene Trudel: KP, Bobby's best playing sounds like birds wings fluttering. Love his playing!
	10:03pm Gaylord Fields: What Monica said. (In truth, whatever Monica says.)
	10:04pm Irwin: This is a more extensive tribute to Orrin Keepnews than the one that aired on WFMU a month ago. wfmu.org...
	10:10pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Irene! :) Great show so far, Mongo Santamaria is a cool sound, and a cool name!
	10:10pm KP: Was just listening to this on long drive Sunday
	10:10pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Henry & Gaylord. And thanks Irwin for at least acknowledging Orrin on your program.
	10:12pm Irwin: "At least"? Peter wrote that.
	10:13pm Irene Trudel: No, I control the comments here! I didn't have the time to look at your playlist in depth. I'm kinda in the middle of something at the moment.
	10:15pm Irwin: I must have 30 OK-produced CDs and LPs in my collection, but I figured that soon enough you and Peter would do a better retrospective. I was right.
	10:15pm Gaylord Fields: I played that very same Mongo 45 during a DJ gig at Teddy's Bar & Grill in Williamsburg just two weeks ago! (And that is the least I could do!)
	10:16pm JakeGould: Settle down jazzholes.
	10:16pm Irene Trudel: But of course! We'll barely get to a fraction of it all tonight.
	10:16pm Irwin: Gaylord, are you on Facebook?
	10:17pm redkayak: Evening, all :)
	10:17pm Mike East: I remember Teddy's used to have some great wings...prolly still do. GREAT show tonight Irene and Peter.
	10:18pm Gaylord Fields: Those were my thoughts as well, Irwin, although I'll certainly keep featuring him as a regular aspect of my programming.
	10:19pm Matt from Springfield: Hey redkayak!
	10:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Irwin: You'll never see me on Facebook! That's for fools!
	10:21pm Matt from Springfield: @Gaylord: Fools like the man who discovered: that FB limits the number of times you're allowed to change your birthdate ;)
	10:21pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: Don't make me sic Bebop Dracula on you.
	10:23pm redkayak: @Matt - Howdy!
	10:30pm KP: I heard Irwin's tribute at the time and enjoyed it. Moving stuff
	10:30pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: I’m trying to think of a jazz joke with garlic in it, but drawing a blank. So at least you know what my retort might have been.
	10:30pm jon: my wife and i keep using the expression life affirming to describe the ok playlist tonite
	10:31pm Matt from Springfield: Top 10 - nice job! And written by Herbie: the link between Miles Davis, 70s funk and modern hip hop.
	10:32pm jon: what a great group of commenters tonite. evening all.
	10:33pm JakeGould: To be able to wrangle, deal with and produce the talent presented here… That takes a certain kind of mensch. Kudos to Orrin’s legacy!
	10:36pm Matt from Springfield: Well a "biography" by you guys would be fine, even if it's not "auto"! Go for it!
	10:39pm martha: Hi, tuned in late... sounds great!
	10:41pm Mike East: My condolences to you and your family. What a great thing to have so many points of reference to the man's life. Most of us just get family photos and anecdotes.
	10:41pm Irene Trudel: Yay Martha! Glad you're here. (Martha is Orrin's wife, listening in from California.)
	10:45pm Matt from Springfield: Hello Martha - glad you're enjoying the tribute!
	10:49pm martha: Will have to listen from the beginning <3
	10:50pm Matt from Springfield: I should refer my cousin to this episode, he loves Sonny Rollins and jazz of that era.
	10:52pm Irwin: Peter: Did the station at 89.9 do a tribute?
	10:53pm Irene Trudel: As with all shows, they're archived so you can listen whenever you get the chance.
	10:57pm Irene Trudel: Irwin, I can answer that. We assume they did, but we didn't know for sure. We were in California with him when he passed and for the whole week following. I will mention that KCSM, the wonderful Bay Area Jazz station on 91.1 FM played tributes to Orrin throughout the week, which was very comforting to us. kcsm.org
	10:59pm Irwin: Bring Peter back next week and do Part 2.
	11:02pm Matt from Springfield: And Max Roach! What a trio. Doug Schulkind has also played the "Freedom Suite" during sets with political and civil rights themes.
	11:04pm Matt from Springfield: He's only a critic of "Marxist Jazz"...
	11:05pm KP: Matt, Martha hi
	11:08pm Matt from Springfield: Hi KP!
	11:10pm JakeGould: Fantastic show. For the archives indeed!
	11:11pm Bryce: i'm gonna cry now too. thank you so much for doing this. really been looking forward to it.
	11:14pm KP: This is really nice, moving
	11:23pm Matt from Springfield: Ahhh, to Fly out of this world, and spend the next eternity or two, with WFMU You!!
	11:24pm martha: Thank you both <3 Really sweet!
	11:26pm Matt from Springfield: And this! THIS!
	11:29pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): You know those shows when even your comment on a playlist feels inadequate?
	11:30pm martha: OK, you're killing me with Wesla
	11:30pm Matt from Springfield: sheepishly looks down at shoes @Pete: Oh yeah..
	11:31pm Irene Trudel: I'm tearing up Martha, just like when we heard this Wesla tune in the car.
	11:33pm martha: xoxoxoxox
	11:39pm Webhamster Henry: I just thought I'd mention that Dick Katz was a boyhood friend of my father's in Baltimore.
	11:40pm martha: BTW, that photo of breakfast cracks me up because I know that Orrin was making his fake smile face!!! - and loved the Mark Murphy. Jimmy <3
	11:42pm Irene Trudel: Henry, that is so amazing, also considering that Dick's son Jamie and Peter both went to high school together. That's kind of how Orrin and Dick met.
	11:43pm Irene Trudel: I know, Martha. You kind of said to Orrin, "can't you just smile for the camera?!"
	11:43pm Matt from Springfield: ANAGRAM dedication! Now that's heavy! :)
	11:43pm Webhamster Henry: Irene, the world is smaller when you're playing jazz!
	11:50pm Irwin: The tribute continues on my program tomorrow with Wynton Kelly and Blue Mitchell.
	11:54pm Andrew: Quite a show. Don't be shy about a follow-up show with more when you are up to it.
	11:55pm P-90: I'll add my vote for a Part II, if not next week, then soon. And thanks, Martha, for the tipoff on the fake smiley face...
	11:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks everyone for checking into our little tribute to Orrin. Maybe we'll do another sometime over the summer.
	11:58pm martha: More!
	11:59pm Santos L Halper: Thanks for sharing the music and memories of Orrin. Our thoughts are with you two.
	11:59pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Irene and Peter! Lovely tribute to Orrin, I enjoyed it, and was glad to learn you had such a brilliant producer in your family! Have a good night, and keep these memories playing!
	12:00am Gaylord Fields: Thank you, Irene and Peter — and especially to Orrin! No more words.
	🥁 6:53am Sean in Bristol UK: Great show Irene and Peter, a wonderful tribute to Orrin.
