	7:22pm Little Danny: Good people. Hello! See y'all in a little bit.
	📉 10:01pm chresti: Hi Little Danny and friends1
	📉 10:01pm chresti: !
	10:01pm Matt from New Orleans: Hello hello
	10:02pm geezerette: Good Evening!
	10:03pm Little Danny: Chresti, Matt, Geez: Hello and come on in!
	10:05pm Flash Strap: i gotta run but that sven-to-umiliani segue was killer man
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: howdy
	10:06pm fleep: Greetings
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: I ran as fast as I could over from Flashville. Is there still any beer?
	10:06pm Little Danny: Thanks Flash, and 'night!
	10:07pm Little Danny: A number of untapped kegs remain, Franco. Hello!
	10:08pm Kris Holmes: love Sahib Shihab
	10:08pm Little Danny: Hi Kris! Hi fleep! Plz make yerselves comfy
	10:08pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Danny, I brought my own saucepan.
	10:08pm Little Danny: Of course you did
	10:09pm Little Danny: @Kris: I wish I knew his catalog better. This is the only thing by him that I own by him, I think
	10:10pm Little Danny: @Kris: Is this actually a waltz?
	10:11pm Dean: One of the best recorded albums added in recent weeks to my collection, Shihab's work with big band Danish Radio Jazz Group.
	10:12pm geezerette: Swingin'.
	10:12pm Little Danny: What year, Dean?
	10:12pm Kris Holmes: a fast waltz
	10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: I saw him at Rutgers when I was a kid in the mid80s. My little brother got bored so he and my mom left and my dad and I just enjoyed the show.
	10:13pm Dean: August 1965, issued on Oktav CD in 2008
	10:13pm Kris Holmes: Dan this may be the only thing of his as a leader you have on him but his sideman credits are many
	10:15pm Little Danny: @Kris: thanks, and thanks!
	10:17pm Little Danny: That's fantastic, Matt, especially since I believe Shihab was based for the majority of his life in Europe or Scandanavia.
	📉 10:19pm JtotheK: caesar's pad, groovy! hi danny, hi everyone.
	10:19pm doctorjazz: Hi folks.
	10:19pm fleep: just in time
	10:19pm doctorjazz: Just in time!
	10:20pm fleep: jinx!
	10:20pm doctorjazz: :)
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: He taught at Rutgers for a period in the mid 80s. He very well might have been playing with fellow faculty and students. I have absolutely no recollection.
	10:20pm Little Danny: BOOM! Hey doc!
	10:21pm Little Danny: Hey Jason!
	10:22pm Little Danny: Huh. That makes sense, Matt, especially given Rutgers's association with jazz
	10:25pm Dean: Fun stuff from Shihab's Wikipedia entry: "In the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, Shihab accompanied Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson on stage for the Swedish entry 'Nygammal Vals'." And re: Rutgers: "From 1985-86, Shihab was a visiting artist at Rutgers University."
	10:26pm Little Danny: Dean: there must be footage somewhere! That is a very fun fact indeed
	10:30pm melinda: hi chums
	10:30pm Dean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o7gty0uTEc
	10:31pm Little Danny: @Dean: thanks!
	10:32pm Dean: Starts at 31:00.
	10:32pm Little Danny: Melinda! Nice to have ya here!
	10:33pm Little Danny: I desperately wanna watch it RIGHT NOW, Dean
	10:33pm Dean: Is that Shahib on flute?
	10:33pm Dean: Yes, it is.
	10:34pm geezerette: Incredible set,Danny! Muy sabroso!
	10:35pm Little Danny: Ah, thanks geez
	10:39pm Dean: Not long ago, I discovered that Irvine Arditti of the eponymous, and nearly miraculous, string quartet, played on some pop album I'd recently acquired. I'm thinking it was one of Art Garfunkel's albums. Unlike Shahib in Sweden, Arditti was a mere credit among many in the ensemble. But I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. Arditti went on to prompt John Cage to complete his Freeman Etudes project, which he had abandoned when its original designated artist, Paul Zukofsky, complained that he couldn't perform anything beyond the first half of the work. Arditti surmounted the hurdle. Still, as a young artist, he had to "pay his dues."
	10:43pm Franco Twinkie: Ed also wrote Breakaway for Antonia Basilotta.
	10:45pm dano59: I loved "Shine"! New one to me.
	10:45pm geezerette: Franco, I've wondered who wrote it. The film is one of my favorite Connors pieces.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: i found it! -Greetings Danny & all
	10:49pm Little Danny: Coela, ancient fish friend!
	10:49pm doctorjazz: This is a cool track! From Brooklyn, I presume
	10:49pm Little Danny: Thanks Dano, me too! Definitely the highlight of that LP, alas
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah Geeze, It's a good one. The first time I saw it, Bruce himself brought it to the Film Forum in Pasadena in the late '70's. He was a really funny guy.
	10:51pm Little Danny: Okay. Can someone phonetically out "Börje" for me? It's Swedish.
	10:51pm Little Danny: Got a good one comin' up for ya, Docjazz
	10:52pm Dean: Oh-WAH-tah-GOO-sigh-AM
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	10:53pm doctorjazz: forvo.com... Does that help ?
	10:53pm Little Danny: Dammit Dean
	10:53pm geezerette: slinky noir!
	10:54pm doctorjazz: Niiiiice ...
	10:55pm Matt from New Orleans: Doc did you do your show last Sunday?
	10:57pm doctorjazz: ?
	10:57pm Matt from New Orleans: I thought you might be a dr jazz who does a radio show on a station in Baton Rouge
	10:59pm doctorjazz: I'm ALWAYS being confused with that Doctorjazz imposter...
	11:01pm Little Danny: That's so funny, doc. You're #1 in my heart if that helps
	11:02pm Matt from New Orleans: And not the dr jazz who has a radio show in Slovenia?
	11:04pm Little Danny: Oof, sorry. I'm back.
	11:05pm doctorjazz: No radio shows, though we did have a funeral on Sunday. Very well received (Great García!)
	📉 11:05pm chresti: Haha Jerry was jazzy for a sec
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: oh man i didn't even know the wheel was playing.
	11:06pm Little Danny: His pedal steel playing is marvelous
	11:06pm doctorjazz: Jerry wasn't a great pedal steel player, but he made it his
	11:07pm Dean: chresti, you should hear Jerry with Merl Saunders. Plenty jazzy blues. I remember c.'74 or so deciding, largely on the basis of Jerry's steel playing for CSN&Y, that he was one of the great guitar players.
	11:07pm Little Danny: Exactly. I wish he'd recorded more of it
	11:10pm Dean: He also manages to present a personality distinct from his musical artistry, but unlike some artists who manage the same, say, Glenn Gould, it's not a neurotic personality. He exudes charisma...and musical talent!
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: Great is in the ears of the beholder. I saw/heard him play it in the New Riders and he was divine.
	11:15pm Dean: That would have been very, very nice. And yes, great is subjective, divine, maybe, not so much?
	11:16pm Dean: Of course, as listeners to Uncle Michael's show well know, I attended every Grateful Dead show ever. But missed a lot of NROTPS.
	11:17pm Little Danny: @Franco: I forgot that that was Garcia. Those early New Riders albums are fantastic. "Dirty Business"!
	11:18pm Little Danny: During UM's live request show a coupla years ago I asked for "The Wheel," and he graciously complied
	11:18pm doctorjazz: I think Jerry would have been the first to admit that he didn't have the technique of, say, Sneaky Pete or Buddy Emmons, with multiple pedals being manipulated and chords moving internally. It is a really challenging axe, and full time playing is probably required to master it. . But JG could always find the most musical line to insert in any musical situation.
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Well yeah, But to hear some one who is at the height of their power when you're just a kid and haven't heard that much live music, it kind of re arranges your molecules.
	11:20pm Little Danny: On youtube, there used to be a '70s video of Garcia playing pedal steel by himself, onstage, to no one
	11:21pm Little Danny: I wholly agree, Franco
	11:22pm doctorjazz: Saw NRPS back in the day as well loved their early albums.
	📉 11:23pm chresti: This is lovely nice.
	11:23pm geezerette: Too tired to chat but what great conversation. Danny, "Traveling" is beautiful. There's a visual artist named Diane Best whose photos of Antactica are online, and of course this music sounds like they look.
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: Doc, I saw NRPS right after Jerry dropped out as well. Buddy was great, But ....
	11:24pm Little Danny: @chresti: you have good taste my friend
	11:25pm Little Danny: Awesome, geez. I almost always think about images and scenes when I hear music
	11:26pm geezerette: Me too.
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: this sounds like Robert Wyatt to me.
	11:28pm doctorjazz: No argument Franco, JG had a way of elevating the proceedings that wasn't necessarily technical in nature, I saw NRPS both ways, and with JG was the better band.
	11:28pm dano59: Two thumbs up: The Wheel, Windy + Carl, and this Koala. Trippy!
	11:30pm Dean: I sometimes smell music. Example: Prokofiev and vinegar. But mostly I dwell on its "diachronic" aspect--the way it moves through time--and its material aspect--the records themselves, the medium in which it's embodied. Put another way, I often enjoy listening to music less than playing records.
	11:35pm geezerette: Dean, some music reminds me of architecture. Seriously.
	11:37pm Dean: That makes perfect sense, geezerette. I suspect that accounts for why, for a time, I aimed to become an architect (or, better yet, an architectural historian).
	11:37pm JtotheK: That Gene Sikora 45 is so good!
	11:37pm Little Danny: Dean, I'm jealous of your synesthesia
	📉 11:39pm chresti: This one smells like lime and cerveza
	11:40pm still b/p: There've been music videos/films of some sort going way back, of course, but before music vids were such a big thing, I recall the scenes and images and people that came to my 70s mind to accompany Zep's Kashmir and some of Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn.
	11:40pm Dean: Synesthesia is an acquired taste/vision/odor.
	11:40pm geezerette: cartoon camels again! belly dancing!
	11:40pm coelacanth: haha!
	11:40pm Little Danny: @chresti: Hey, I think I smell that too!
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: (chresti)... well i'm hungry so it smells like a burrito to me
	11:41pm Dean: Interesting, still b/p, because one of my earliest memories of rock video was Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown" in black and white on TV right around the time the album appeared.
	11:42pm still b/p: Was it performance visuals or something ahhhtsy?
	📉 11:43pm chresti: haha @coel
	11:43pm Dean: As I recall, a fairly neutral capture of the band playing the song.
	11:45pm Dean: Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnfgRfhdpeQ
	📉 11:46pm chresti: Wow, a 78
	11:47pm Little Danny: @chresti: I don't actually own it, sadly
	11:47pm doctorjazz: The Beatles had music videos before it was a thing (that was their way of presenting new music when they stopped touring). Thanks for the great show ,LD, really nice respite from a difficult week Night all!
	📉 11:48pm chresti: crazy background on Hawaiian Dream
	📉 11:49pm chresti: crazy= good
	📉 11:50pm chresti: Goodnight doc!
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: This is one for all the glue sniffers out there.
	11:51pm geezerette: Danny, classiest joint in town! Thanks for running it!
	📉 11:52pm chresti: @Danny, I thought the song was modern sounding for a 78
	11:52pm fleep: Been a real root beer float flavored evening, Danny, thanks!
	11:52pm dano59: My first music video memory of the early 70s is of Tom Waits, opening with an animation of him under a marquee: "Tom Waits For No One" ... On Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, I think. A live performance of "Plane, Too" by Loudon Wainwright III also made an impression / warped me / cemented my standards of taste for better or worse
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: ...and this one is for all the shoe polish drinkers.
	📉 11:54pm chresti: Thanks Danny, for the great sounds!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: i think the first music video i ever saw was the beatles, but i forget what song. (fool on the hill?) ...technically their "live" appearance playing hey jude when they let the audience come on stage with them was a music video. it was pre-recorded, and staged.
	11:56pm still b/p: Any portion of a CBF show is good. THAT's portion control for your musical diet.
	11:56pm doctorjazz: I believe 78s were still released until the late 50s, and occasional stragglers even later.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: for sure
	11:57pm dano59: This smells like burnt copper-wound strings and the Viscounts
	12:01am coelacanth∅: i thought it smelled like a sandy hot dog
	12:01am Dean: Sublime show.
	📉 12:01am chresti: haha
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! take care everyone
	12:02am Little Danny: Thanks my friends! I love you all! See ya around!
	📉 12:02am chresti: agree @Dean
	12:03am dano59: doc: there was a Brian Wilson 78 for Record Store Day a few yrs back.
	12:03am Little Danny: @dano: spot on re: Viscounts and strings. Amazing

	11:18pm Little Danny: During UM's live request show a coupla years ago I asked for "The Wheel," and he graciously complied
	11:18pm doctorjazz: I think Jerry would have been the first to admit that he didn't have the technique of, say, Sneaky Pete or Buddy Emmons, with multiple pedals being manipulated and chords moving internally. It is a really challenging axe, and full time playing is probably required to master it. . But JG could always find the most musical line to insert in any musical situation.
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Well yeah, But to hear some one who is at the height of their power when you're just a kid and haven't heard that much live music, it kind of re arranges your molecules.
	11:20pm Little Danny: On youtube, there used to be a '70s video of Garcia playing pedal steel by himself, onstage, to no one
	11:21pm Little Danny: I wholly agree, Franco
	11:22pm doctorjazz: Saw NRPS back in the day as well loved their early albums.
	📉 11:23pm chresti: This is lovely nice.
	11:23pm geezerette: Too tired to chat but what great conversation. Danny, "Traveling" is beautiful. There's a visual artist named Diane Best whose photos of Antactica are online, and of course this music sounds like they look.
	11:24pm Franco Twinkie: Doc, I saw NRPS right after Jerry dropped out as well. Buddy was great, But ....
	11:24pm Little Danny: @chresti: you have good taste my friend
	11:25pm Little Danny: Awesome, geez. I almost always think about images and scenes when I hear music
	11:26pm geezerette: Me too.
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: this sounds like Robert Wyatt to me.
	11:28pm doctorjazz: No argument Franco, JG had a way of elevating the proceedings that wasn't necessarily technical in nature, I saw NRPS both ways, and with JG was the better band.
	11:28pm dano59: Two thumbs up: The Wheel, Windy + Carl, and this Koala. Trippy!
	11:30pm Dean: I sometimes smell music. Example: Prokofiev and vinegar. But mostly I dwell on its "diachronic" aspect--the way it moves through time--and its material aspect--the records themselves, the medium in which it's embodied. Put another way, I often enjoy listening to music less than playing records.
	11:35pm geezerette: Dean, some music reminds me of architecture. Seriously.
	11:37pm Dean: That makes perfect sense, geezerette. I suspect that accounts for why, for a time, I aimed to become an architect (or, better yet, an architectural historian).
	11:37pm JtotheK: That Gene Sikora 45 is so good!
	11:37pm Little Danny: Dean, I'm jealous of your synesthesia
	📉 11:39pm chresti: This one smells like lime and cerveza
	11:40pm still b/p: There've been music videos/films of some sort going way back, of course, but before music vids were such a big thing, I recall the scenes and images and people that came to my 70s mind to accompany Zep's Kashmir and some of Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn.
	11:40pm Dean: Synesthesia is an acquired taste/vision/odor.
	11:40pm geezerette: cartoon camels again! belly dancing!
	11:40pm coelacanth: haha!
	11:40pm Little Danny: @chresti: Hey, I think I smell that too!
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: (chresti)... well i'm hungry so it smells like a burrito to me
	11:41pm Dean: Interesting, still b/p, because one of my earliest memories of rock video was Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown" in black and white on TV right around the time the album appeared.
	11:42pm still b/p: Was it performance visuals or something ahhhtsy?
	📉 11:43pm chresti: haha @coel
	11:43pm Dean: As I recall, a fairly neutral capture of the band playing the song.
	11:45pm Dean: Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnfgRfhdpeQ
	📉 11:46pm chresti: Wow, a 78
	11:47pm Little Danny: @chresti: I don't actually own it, sadly
	11:47pm doctorjazz: The Beatles had music videos before it was a thing (that was their way of presenting new music when they stopped touring). Thanks for the great show ,LD, really nice respite from a difficult week Night all!
	📉 11:48pm chresti: crazy background on Hawaiian Dream
	📉 11:49pm chresti: crazy= good
	📉 11:50pm chresti: Goodnight doc!
	11:51pm Franco Twinkie: This is one for all the glue sniffers out there.
	11:51pm geezerette: Danny, classiest joint in town! Thanks for running it!
	📉 11:52pm chresti: @Danny, I thought the song was modern sounding for a 78
	11:52pm fleep: Been a real root beer float flavored evening, Danny, thanks!
	11:52pm dano59: My first music video memory of the early 70s is of Tom Waits, opening with an animation of him under a marquee: "Tom Waits For No One" ... On Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, I think. A live performance of "Plane, Too" by Loudon Wainwright III also made an impression / warped me / cemented my standards of taste for better or worse
	11:53pm Franco Twinkie: ...and this one is for all the shoe polish drinkers.
	📉 11:54pm chresti: Thanks Danny, for the great sounds!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: i think the first music video i ever saw was the beatles, but i forget what song. (fool on the hill?) ...technically their "live" appearance playing hey jude when they let the audience come on stage with them was a music video. it was pre-recorded, and staged.
	11:56pm still b/p: Any portion of a CBF show is good. THAT's portion control for your musical diet.
	11:56pm doctorjazz: I believe 78s were still released until the late 50s, and occasional stragglers even later.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: for sure
	11:57pm dano59: This smells like burnt copper-wound strings and the Viscounts
	12:01am coelacanth∅: i thought it smelled like a sandy hot dog
	12:01am Dean: Sublime show.
	📉 12:01am chresti: haha
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Danny! take care everyone
	12:02am Little Danny: Thanks my friends! I love you all! See ya around!
	📉 12:02am chresti: agree @Dean
	12:03am dano59: doc: there was a Brian Wilson 78 for Record Store Day a few yrs back.
	12:03am Little Danny: @dano: spot on re: Viscounts and strings. Amazing
