Listener comments!
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Fire 🐍Snake ‘ Ramón "Mongo" Santamaría Rodríguez (April 7, 1917 – February 1, 2003) was a Cuban percussionist and bandleader who spent most of his career in the United States. Primarily a conga drummer, Santamaría was a leading figure in the pachanga and boogaloo dance crazes of the 1960s. His biggest hit was his rendition of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man", which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. From the 1970s, he recorded mainly salsa and Latin jazz, before retiring in the late 1990s. ‘ ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Earth 🐅Tiger ’ Pete "La Roca" Sims (born Peter Sims; April 7, 1938 – November 20, 2012, known as Pete La Roca from 1957 until 1968) was an American jazz drummer and attorney. Born and raised in Harlem by a pianist mother and a stepfather who played trumpet, he was introduced to jazz by his uncle Kenneth Bright, a major shareholder in Circle Records and the manager of rehearsal spaces above the Lafayette Theater. Sims studied percussion at the High School of Music and Art and at the City College of New York, where he played tympani in the CCNY Orchestra. He adopted the name La Roca early in his musical career, when he played timbales for six years in Latin bands. In the 1970s, during a hiatus from jazz performance, he resumed using his original surname. When he returned to jazz in the late 1970s, he usually inserted "La Roca" into his name in quotation marks to help audiences familiar with his early work identify him. He told The New York Times in 1982 that he did so only out of necessity ‘… ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Earth 🐅Tiger ’ Frederick Dewayne Hubbard (April 7, 1938 – December 29, 2008) was an American jazz trumpeter. He played bebop, hard bop, and post-bop styles from the early 1960s onwards. His unmistakable and influential tone contributed to new perspectives for modern jazz and bebop ‘… ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Wood 🐇Hare ‘ Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan; April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959) was an American jazz and swing music singer. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner, Lester Young, Holiday made a significant contribution to jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly influenced by jazz instrumentalists, inspired a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She was known for her vocal delivery and improvisational skills ‘…

	🥁 ♥ 12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Watermelon Man" by "Mongo Santamaria" Fabulous cover (all the tracks have been great). Reacted to this because I just got me a ticket to see Herbie Hancock at NJPAC in Sept!
	🥁 ♥ 12:16pm tom tom the pipers son: no pants here w/ heating pad on calves
	🥁 ♥ 12:17pm Sem: Lovin' the Mongo!
	🥁 ♥ 12:18pm doctorjazz: (Went to see Pat Metheny on Friday night, solo show. Not such a fan, but it was a terrific show!)
	♥ 12:21pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 Wow, doc on the Herbie, and wow, doc on Metheny! Glad you liked! He's a bit of an acquired taste, maybe
	🥁 ♥ 12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @12:21 He just does so much different stuff, different styles, depends what he's focusing on (from free/noise to pop-jazz). This was solo Metheny, he IS a monster musician, 10+ guitars and other electronics on stage...
	♥ 12:29pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:24 Were Irene and Peter K there?
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @12:29 Nope-just me, MollyJazz, and a packed theater...I don't think they got tix for any of the NY area shows (they are probably seeing multiple other shows that conflice, my guess)
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:24 did you listen to zero tolerance for silence, his noise album beforehand? dumb title actually, but good album
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "DJ Gazongo" There's that Steven Bernstein Sex Mob track-you need to play it in it's entirety at some point.
	♥ 12:31pm coelacanth∅: Welcome back Stork!
	🥁 ♥ 12:34pm Michael 98145: Huzzah, Everyone. Busy day
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:31 I didn't (don't have it), do know Song-X and the stuff with Haden (80/81). He actually DID do one piece on a steel string acoustic that you could call free/noise guitar that could have fit on that album (from what I've read haven't heard it).
	🥁 ♥ 12:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Newport" by "Slide Hampton" Don't know this album, very cool (has the feel of Booker Little music...)
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 'zero tolerance...' on youtube.... sounds like a good time
	♥ 12:38pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:31 That was a Live at the Stork Club recording from like 25 years ago(!) I gotta track it down - so much stuff wnet missing or the DST tapes self-desructed. Tragic, really.

	♥ 12:42pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @12:00 Hiya, crestikins!
	🥁 ♥ 12:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @12:39 hi stork... i believe freddie hubbard did some more expermental recordings(70's) than what he's known for...have anything like that today?
	♥ 12:42pm Stork: Nice Old Devil Moon quote by the Hubster!
	♥ 12:45pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 I do, in fact. Brief but fine!
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Tears Come From Heaven" by "Pete La Roca" Henderson so much like Coltrane. & already in 1965.
	♥ 12:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 You`re a Jelly Roll Morton guy: www.wsj.com...
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @12:45 great
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 Hubbard played on ornette Coleman's Free Jazz album, seminal "out" album!
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:47 ...whole Quartet in fact. I guess that's just where Players wanted to be that moment. Works real good for me...
	🥁 ♥ 12:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 Full personnel, released in 1961 www.discogs.com...
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 Interesting.
	🥁 ♥ 12:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 yes i just saw that...i think i was speaking of red clay, straight life or first light... i thought he was more known as a straight ahead sort of player
	♥ 12:53pm Stork: This 3-hour show just can't contain all that 4 "tributes!should contain - so let's not call 'em tributes, but rather: 4 successive insufficient portions of music representing 4 great ones.
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm love2laf: "4 successive insufficient portions of music representing 4 great ones" can this be this week's t-shirt?
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "And Yet, There Could Be Love" by "Freddie Hubbard" picasso painting on the album, a protest of korean war i believe
	♥ 12:57pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:54 The whole production is just astounding. One of my favorite records of all time - I found a copy in an old antique store some 30 years ago. The vinyl is gone, but I managed to find a digiital copy years later.
	♥ 12:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:31 Hiya, coel!
	♥ 12:57pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:54 People will invariably come to close to read all those tiny letters.
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @12:57 oh i'll look out for it...thx
	🥁 ♥ 1:00pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:57 Hmmm, not for the introverted then, nor for those wishing their personal space not to be violated. Not saying that cleaning the bathroom is enjoyable, but I am saying the music makes it a far better experience.
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Jodo" by "Freddie Hubbard" McCoy Tyner in fact...
	1:01pm wendy del formaggio: Cousin Storkie! Just got to work; just tuned in. Happy to have you on my radio today.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Farceborged you : www.facebook.com... - looking FourCornered indeed.
	🥁 ♥ 1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sin Street" by "Pete La Roca" This is cool!!! John Gilmore, not on many records that aren't Sun Ra recordings...
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sin Street" by "Pete La Roca" (cover is cool too...)
	♥ 1:04pm Stork: Hey Clubbies: This show today was pre-recorded - before I got the word that Lady C is not doing her show today - so when you hear me babbling something contrary to this fact, simply shake your head and cluck.
	🥁 ♥ 1:05pm Sem: ↳ doctorjazz @1:03 Thanks for the context on that, Dr. J.
	1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @1:03 Noted.
	♥ 1:08pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Sin Street" by "Pete La Roca" Pete LaRoca quit the music biz for quite a while to become a lawyer.
	🥁 ♥ 1:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Body And Soul" by "Freddie Hubbard" some assembled group of big names although i don't think i've seen the drummers name before
	🥁 ♥ 1:12pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @1:08 Seems like a fantastic idea, fighting chance against the music industry to not be taken advantage of.
	🥁 ♥ 1:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Body And Soul" by "Freddie Hubbard" Body and Soul was always a gutsy tune to play after Colemen Hawkins claimed it in the 40s. Trane then reclaimed it (his recording predates this, 1960 acc to Wiki, but not released until 1964, so this doesn't sound like Tranes reharmonization).
	🥁 ♥ 1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Breaking Point" by "Freddie Hubbard" Bit of Flamingo feel here...
	♥ 1:16pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @1:12 In fact, he said when he become a lawyer, he realized how the system was arranged to make it virtually impossible for musicians to get justly compensated. Originally he quit when jazz died for a while in the late 60's, and he couldn't handle the jive factor
	1:19pm Dean: Went to NYU Law.
	🥁 ♥ 1:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Breaking Point" by "Freddie Hubbard" sax doing a nice job
	🥁 ♥ 1:19pm doctorjazz: Also going to see Jorma Kaukonen this coming Tuesday...catching all the alte kocker (loosly translated, old farts) musicians that I can (saw Sprinsteen his last go through).
	♥ 1:19pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:19 Mr. James Spaulding!
	🥁 ♥ 1:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @1:19 not familiar at all
	♥ 1:21pm northguineahills: it's storkiliscious!
	1:21pm Dean: Kaukonen plays theses parts--his old stomping grounds--on occasion. Most recently, I think, with Casady.
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @1:21 How are you today ngh? Is the weekend at least being kind to you? We're soaking up the warm day and sunshine and storkiliscious jazz.
	1:22pm Dean: This is where the first Hot Tuna album, live, was recorded: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SCFGxVcUDYhv9wGXA Around the corner from where I sit.
	♥ 1:24pm Stork: ↳ northguineahills @1:21 Hodie-heedie hiya, northguineahills and Dean!
	🥁 ♥ 1:24pm David (in London): sidles into the Club dressed as a Flemish farmer: wide straw hat, braces, wooden shoes, long clay pipe, following by a couple of sheep. Takes side booth, downs a large Glen Passaic and gin, as do the sheep Afternoon Stork and assembled Club-goers.
	🥁 ♥ 1:25pm love2laf: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 I see what ewe did there, you brought in some lambiekins to keep you from hitting the floor and softening your landing.
	🥁 ♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 Hey, David (iL), if you're Flemish, wear a mask (I'll see MYSELF out now...)
	♥ 1:27pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Breaking Point" by "Freddie Hubbard" Oh, don't stop dancing yet - this one's got a bit more to go!!
	🥁 ♥ 1:27pm David (in London): ↳ love2laf @1:25 Hey l2l. Sadly the plan rarely works as the two lambiekins are real hard drinkers and I usually pass out way before they do.
	♥ 1:27pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @1:22 i'm staying holed up at home, a little better.
	🥁 ♥ 1:28pm David (in London): ↳ doctorjazz @1:25 I'll keep my Flem away from you, Doc.
	1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 Appropriate to our woolly observation of ♈︎Aries natives.

	2:10pm wendy del formaggio: @docjazz: Yes. This is beautiful.
	2:10pm Dean: M. mackeral, It used to be a nightclub that featured a lot of those mid-to-late '60s acts in these parts. When I read the liner notes to the first HT album, I realized they had performed around the corner from us and down the street a few blocks. I've reported this before, but I like to think about it, so I'll do it again. My parents saw Billie very near the end of her life. My father had to help her up to the stage. I was born in July '59. I like to think I heard her, too.
	🥁 ♥ 2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:07 I pulled out my "Complete Verve Recordings" box, there are recordings as late as 1959
	♥ 2:10pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Ill Wind" by "Billie Holiday" Unbearably beautiful

	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Strange Fruit" by "Billie Holiday" I have special rules set up in my home music setup to try to make sure Strange Fruit doesn't come up without warning in a shuffle-play. This is a song you only want to listen to on purpose, when you're prepared for it – not have show up unexpected during a party or something, which is both traumatic AND disrespectful.
	♥ 2:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:15 i dig that one!
	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:16 i haven't read article yet
	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @2:11 That's great! (Saw it when it it was sent out)
	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @2:10 wow, great story re: Billie. In LA? what was the name of the San Pablo nightclub?
	🥁 ♥ 2:18pm Michael 98145: ↳ David (in London) @2:11 " resists categorization but invites discovery" yes !
	♥ 2:18pm Stork: Reminder: I'm on tape today so if i say Lady C is up next, I'm lyin'. She cannot make it aujoud'hui.
	2:19pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:15 I’m excited to listen!
	2:19pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:17 :)
	♥ 2:19pm northguineahills: hey, i had a pot lid fall off my shelf! but, it got stronger and stronger, and lasted 45 seconds, and i've been through a damaging 6.1 in japan (had to duck under our desks at school as windows cracked and shelves fell over.)
	2:19pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff Moore: Indeed. Demands and causes a solemn pause. At least for anyone w a sense of humanity.
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Strange Fruit" by "Billie Holiday" Well there's a moderately ambitious not to say astonishingly profound & indeed brave bit of Jazz. Not too many statements like that until the next decade ...so we'll add forward-thinking.
	2:20pm Dean: "Vache" also means mean or nasty, bitchy. What is now M&M Automotive was then called the New Orleans House. I believe Billie was in SF. I wonder if I can find proof of an appearance up here c.'58...
	2:20pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Strange Fruit" by "Billie Holiday" I was writing an essay on this one. Sparking an Indie jazz label
	♥ 2:20pm Stork: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:19 Hi and welcome, Bri The Beatnik!
	2:21pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Stork @2:20 Thanks Stork! :)
	🥁 ♥ 2:21pm doctorjazz: Gotta run (need some food), catch the rest in the archives, thanks, Stork, great show!
	♥ 2:21pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @2:21 don't miss it doc - lots more good'uns!
	🥁 ♥ 2:21pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:21 isn't it almost eclipse time ?
	🥁 ♥ 2:22pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @2:20 wild
	2:24pm Dean: Stanley Fish likes to tell the story of the beauty contest candidate who sang LCTWTO for the talent portion. She pronounced the words identically both times. Fish claims she's the only person who understands the song.
	🥁 ♥ 2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @2:20 ah thanks dean
	🥁 ♥ 2:25pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:21 never mind, dumb. that's tomorrow.
	2:27pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:19 Glad you survived!
	🥁 ♥ 2:27pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @2:24 aha so THAT'S where it's from. You must have told me this forever ago, I love telling it. And it makes total sense.
	2:27pm Bri The Beatnik: I didn’t pick up glasses for the eclipse :(
	2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @2:24 Classick.
	2:29pm Dean: Tomorrow's an eclipse? All this time I was expecting a giant eclair!
	♥ 2:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:27 i'm probably relieved as well. (3 people died in that one, in Chiba, just outside narita airport), i was 80 km away from the epicenter. it was fun cleaning up my parents' house as we were let out of school early).
	2:29pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @2:29 It’s only in a few states I think
	♥ 2:30pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Fine and Mellow" by "Billie Holiday" Billie struggled on this album, for sure, but she NAILS this one. I think it was the last take in the whole project. (now rereleased as a 4 CD mishegas)
	2:30pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:29 Wow, that was scary. The closest I’ve been to a natural disaster is being caught in a few hurricanes
	2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @2:29 balleralert.com...
	2:31pm Dean: The eclair or the eclipse? If the former, I gotta see it. Just can't stare at it for too long.
	2:31pm Bri The Beatnik: Planning to have a job come Record store day so I can buy some JAZZ albums! 💗
	♥ 2:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:30 well, you know i've been flooded out by ian in 2022. I've been earthquakes, hurricanes, and typhoons...
	🥁 ♥ 2:32pm Michael 98145: humbling experiences
	🥁 ♥ 2:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @2:31 ha!
	2:32pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:31 That is true, I’m thankful you’re still here
	2:32pm wendy del formaggio: @Bri the Beatnik: Your local library may have eclipse glasses for you.
	2:32pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:32 Ah yes! I remember my ex saying that once before
	🥁 ♥ 2:34pm tom tom the pipers son: one thing with holiday is you feel her personal connection to the rest of band
	2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:34 Very much a Vocalist informed by Louis Armstrong's horn. She wasn't just about the most Affecting Artist you can think of. She was Early - & she was Important.
	🥁 ♥ 2:38pm Sem: Lovin' the Lady Day segment, the Storch. Thx so much.
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 yes and her kinship w/ lester young and you sense her as a band member and not a front
	♥ 2:39pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 Billie said so explicitly- and they were great friends.
	♥ 2:40pm Stork: ↳ Sem @2:38 Thanks, Sem. This one was truly a labor of lerve.
	2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:39 Yeah her complicated sibling relationship from other mothers with the Prez - Lester Young - the man who invented Being Cool.
	🥁 ♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: Hope Lady C is okay
	2:46pm Bri The Beatnik: I’ve been digging through the vaults and listening to a lot of ‘30s and ‘40s jazz
	🥁 ♥ 2:47pm Michael 98145: "fox trot"
	2:47pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "My Man" by "Billie Holiday and the Stardusters" Ah yes! Kerouac loved this version!
	🥁 ♥ 2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 to a lesser degree she probably had sibling relationships with whatever group she was in
	♥ 2:51pm northguineahills: in ukrainian folklore, if a stork is near you (or nest near your home), then you're a good person. I think that allegory holds up here. danks, for the storkitude!
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm Michael 98145: =Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'll soon forget=
	2:51pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:51 Nice!
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm David (in London): If you're explaining... you're not drinking Glen Passaic. So don't explain.
	2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:47 What did Kerouac say ? Billie Holiday had rocks in her heart. Not meaning she was unfeeling - but more Poetic an observation.
	♥ 2:52pm Stork: Hey youse-all! That was a funyon!! Let's again next Sunday?
	2:52pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:51 He said nobody sang it quite like her. He loved the way he could feel her pain in that rendition
	♥ 2:53pm Stork: ↳ Song: "You Better Go Now" by "Billie Holiday" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm Michael 98145: Geez. Another great show.
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 there was this actress with the living theater named sheila dabney who waS a holiday esque figure, during one run of a show something unfair was going on with production and she , very drunk, stood in front o theater yelling the show must NOT go on
	♥ 2:55pm Stork: Reminder: NO LADY C TONITE _ IGNORE YOUR LOCAL DJ!! He's a Dumb Jerk!
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:52 Kerouac of course not just a great empathic (♓︎Piscean) soul - but keenly informed of Jazz.
	🥁 ♥ 2:55pm mackeral: ↳ northguineahills @2:51 isn't this the time of year for storks in Slavic lore, too? arrival of Spring?

Just caught the end of the show, fabulous stuff (of course, I HAVE all this stuff, but great sequencing by His Storkness!). Billie did indeed get her timing from Satch (but in the 30's and 40's, who didn't?). Thanks for the fabulous show Stork!

	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Fire 🐍Snake ‘ Ramón "Mongo" Santamaría Rodríguez (April 7, 1917 – February 1, 2003) was a Cuban percussionist and bandleader who spent most of his career in the United States. Primarily a conga drummer, Santamaría was a leading figure in the pachanga and boogaloo dance crazes of the 1960s. His biggest hit was his rendition of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man", which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. From the 1970s, he recorded mainly salsa and Latin jazz, before retiring in the late 1990s. ‘ ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Earth 🐅Tiger ’ Pete "La Roca" Sims (born Peter Sims; April 7, 1938 – November 20, 2012, known as Pete La Roca from 1957 until 1968) was an American jazz drummer and attorney. Born and raised in Harlem by a pianist mother and a stepfather who played trumpet, he was introduced to jazz by his uncle Kenneth Bright, a major shareholder in Circle Records and the manager of rehearsal spaces above the Lafayette Theater. Sims studied percussion at the High School of Music and Art and at the City College of New York, where he played tympani in the CCNY Orchestra. He adopted the name La Roca early in his musical career, when he played timbales for six years in Latin bands. In the 1970s, during a hiatus from jazz performance, he resumed using his original surname. When he returned to jazz in the late 1970s, he usually inserted "La Roca" into his name in quotation marks to help audiences familiar with his early work identify him. He told The New York Times in 1982 that he did so only out of necessity ‘… ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Earth 🐅Tiger ’ Frederick Dewayne Hubbard (April 7, 1938 – December 29, 2008) was an American jazz trumpeter. He played bebop, hard bop, and post-bop styles from the early 1960s onwards. His unmistakable and influential tone contributed to new perspectives for modern jazz and bebop ‘… ⦿Sun in ♈︎Aries, Year of Wood 🐇Hare ‘ Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan; April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959) was an American jazz and swing music singer. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner, Lester Young, Holiday made a significant contribution to jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly influenced by jazz instrumentalists, inspired a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. She was known for her vocal delivery and improvisational skills ‘…

	🥁 ♥ 12:06pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Meta Rumba" by "Mongo Santamaria" Never Meta Rhumba I didn't like! Good night, New York!
	♥ 12:06pm Stork: Jeff G!! Or G-Whiz, as precisely no one calls you!!
	🥁 ♥ 12:07pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Stork @12:06 Well I am cheesy.

	🥁 ♥ 12:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Watermelon Man" by "Mongo Santamaria" Fabulous cover (all the tracks have been great). Reacted to this because I just got me a ticket to see Herbie Hancock at NJPAC in Sept!
	🥁 ♥ 12:16pm tom tom the pipers son: no pants here w/ heating pad on calves
	🥁 ♥ 12:17pm Sem: Lovin' the Mongo!
	🥁 ♥ 12:18pm doctorjazz: (Went to see Pat Metheny on Friday night, solo show. Not such a fan, but it was a terrific show!)
	♥ 12:21pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:16 Wow, doc on the Herbie, and wow, doc on Metheny! Glad you liked! He's a bit of an acquired taste, maybe
	🥁 ♥ 12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @12:21 He just does so much different stuff, different styles, depends what he's focusing on (from free/noise to pop-jazz). This was solo Metheny, he IS a monster musician, 10+ guitars and other electronics on stage...
	♥ 12:29pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:24 Were Irene and Peter K there?
	🥁 ♥ 12:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Stork @12:29 Nope-just me, MollyJazz, and a packed theater...I don't think they got tix for any of the NY area shows (they are probably seeing multiple other shows that conflice, my guess)
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:24 did you listen to zero tolerance for silence, his noise album beforehand? dumb title actually, but good album
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "DJ Gazongo" There's that Steven Bernstein Sex Mob track-you need to play it in it's entirety at some point.
	♥ 12:31pm coelacanth∅: Welcome back Stork!
	🥁 ♥ 12:34pm Michael 98145: Huzzah, Everyone. Busy day
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:31 I didn't (don't have it), do know Song-X and the stuff with Haden (80/81). He actually DID do one piece on a steel string acoustic that you could call free/noise guitar that could have fit on that album (from what I've read haven't heard it).
	🥁 ♥ 12:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Newport" by "Slide Hampton" Don't know this album, very cool (has the feel of Booker Little music...)
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 'zero tolerance...' on youtube.... sounds like a good time
	♥ 12:38pm Stork: ↳ doctorjazz @12:31 That was a Live at the Stork Club recording from like 25 years ago(!) I gotta track it down - so much stuff wnet missing or the DST tapes self-desructed. Tragic, really.
	♥ 12:39pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:38 Hiya, tom tom! Great to see you hangin' !

	♥ 12:42pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @12:00 Hiya, crestikins!
	🥁 ♥ 12:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @12:39 hi stork... i believe freddie hubbard did some more expermental recordings(70's) than what he's known for...have anything like that today?
	♥ 12:42pm Stork: Nice Old Devil Moon quote by the Hubster!
	♥ 12:45pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 I do, in fact. Brief but fine!
	12:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Tears Come From Heaven" by "Pete La Roca" Henderson so much like Coltrane. & already in 1965.
	♥ 12:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:35 You`re a Jelly Roll Morton guy: www.wsj.com...
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @12:45 great
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 Hubbard played on ornette Coleman's Free Jazz album, seminal "out" album!
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:47 ...whole Quartet in fact. I guess that's just where Players wanted to be that moment. Works real good for me...
	🥁 ♥ 12:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 Full personnel, released in 1961 www.discogs.com...
	12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 Interesting.
	🥁 ♥ 12:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @12:47 yes i just saw that...i think i was speaking of red clay, straight life or first light... i thought he was more known as a straight ahead sort of player
	♥ 12:53pm Stork: This 3-hour show just can't contain all that 4 "tributes!should contain - so let's not call 'em tributes, but rather: 4 successive insufficient portions of music representing 4 great ones.
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm love2laf: "4 successive insufficient portions of music representing 4 great ones" can this be this week's t-shirt?
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "And Yet, There Could Be Love" by "Freddie Hubbard" picasso painting on the album, a protest of korean war i believe
	♥ 12:57pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:54 The whole production is just astounding. One of my favorite records of all time - I found a copy in an old antique store some 30 years ago. The vinyl is gone, but I managed to find a digiital copy years later.
	♥ 12:57pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:31 Hiya, coel!
	♥ 12:57pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @12:54 People will invariably come to close to read all those tiny letters.
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @12:57 oh i'll look out for it...thx
	🥁 ♥ 1:00pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @12:57 Hmmm, not for the introverted then, nor for those wishing their personal space not to be violated. Not saying that cleaning the bathroom is enjoyable, but I am saying the music makes it a far better experience.
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Jodo" by "Freddie Hubbard" McCoy Tyner in fact...
	1:01pm wendy del formaggio: Cousin Storkie! Just got to work; just tuned in. Happy to have you on my radio today.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Farceborged you : www.facebook.com... - looking FourCornered indeed.
	🥁 ♥ 1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sin Street" by "Pete La Roca" This is cool!!! John Gilmore, not on many records that aren't Sun Ra recordings...
	🥁 ♥ 1:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sin Street" by "Pete La Roca" (cover is cool too...)
	♥ 1:04pm Stork: Hey Clubbies: This show today was pre-recorded - before I got the word that Lady C is not doing her show today - so when you hear me babbling something contrary to this fact, simply shake your head and cluck.
	🥁 ♥ 1:05pm Sem: ↳ doctorjazz @1:03 Thanks for the context on that, Dr. J.
	1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @1:03 Noted.
	♥ 1:08pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Sin Street" by "Pete La Roca" Pete LaRoca quit the music biz for quite a while to become a lawyer.
	🥁 ♥ 1:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Body And Soul" by "Freddie Hubbard" some assembled group of big names although i don't think i've seen the drummers name before
	🥁 ♥ 1:12pm love2laf: ↳ Stork @1:08 Seems like a fantastic idea, fighting chance against the music industry to not be taken advantage of.
	🥁 ♥ 1:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Body And Soul" by "Freddie Hubbard" Body and Soul was always a gutsy tune to play after Colemen Hawkins claimed it in the 40s. Trane then reclaimed it (his recording predates this, 1960 acc to Wiki, but not released until 1964, so this doesn't sound like Tranes reharmonization).
	🥁 ♥ 1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Breaking Point" by "Freddie Hubbard" Bit of Flamingo feel here...
	♥ 1:16pm Stork: ↳ love2laf @1:12 In fact, he said when he become a lawyer, he realized how the system was arranged to make it virtually impossible for musicians to get justly compensated. Originally he quit when jazz died for a while in the late 60's, and he couldn't handle the jive factor
	1:19pm Dean: Went to NYU Law.
	🥁 ♥ 1:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Breaking Point" by "Freddie Hubbard" sax doing a nice job
	🥁 ♥ 1:19pm doctorjazz: Also going to see Jorma Kaukonen this coming Tuesday...catching all the alte kocker (loosly translated, old farts) musicians that I can (saw Sprinsteen his last go through).
	♥ 1:19pm Stork: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:19 Mr. James Spaulding!
	🥁 ♥ 1:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @1:19 not familiar at all
	♥ 1:21pm northguineahills: it's storkiliscious!
	1:21pm Dean: Kaukonen plays theses parts--his old stomping grounds--on occasion. Most recently, I think, with Casady.
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @1:21 How are you today ngh? Is the weekend at least being kind to you? We're soaking up the warm day and sunshine and storkiliscious jazz.
	1:22pm Dean: This is where the first Hot Tuna album, live, was recorded: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SCFGxVcUDYhv9wGXA Around the corner from where I sit.

	🥁 ♥ 1:25pm love2laf: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 I see what ewe did there, you brought in some lambiekins to keep you from hitting the floor and softening your landing.
	🥁 ♥ 1:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 Hey, David (iL), if you're Flemish, wear a mask (I'll see MYSELF out now...)
	♥ 1:27pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Breaking Point" by "Freddie Hubbard" Oh, don't stop dancing yet - this one's got a bit more to go!!
	🥁 ♥ 1:27pm David (in London): ↳ love2laf @1:25 Hey l2l. Sadly the plan rarely works as the two lambiekins are real hard drinkers and I usually pass out way before they do.
	♥ 1:27pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @1:22 i'm staying holed up at home, a little better.
	🥁 ♥ 1:28pm David (in London): ↳ doctorjazz @1:25 I'll keep my Flem away from you, Doc.
	1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 Appropriate to our woolly observation of ♈︎Aries natives.

	1:43pm wendy del formaggio: @David: thank you! Oh fabulous! Enjoy your holiday. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Poirot (w/ David Suchet) so I have Belgium on the brain. Lemme know when your single is ready for distribution!
	1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: With a self-described range of just seven notes - Billie Holiday maybe my favorite Singer of all time.
	1:43pm wendy del formaggio: Cousin Storkie!
	1:43pm wendy del formaggio: @tom tom: Hahaha, I was just reveling in that frying-bacon sound.
	1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:43 ...not to say cooking smack in a spoon...

	🥁 ♥ 2:00pm doctorjazz: Lovely set!
	🥁 ♥ 2:00pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "The Man I Love" by "George Gershwin" I'm a little taken aback by all the choices made in this album cover art.
	🥁 ♥ 2:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:00 was going to say...maybetrying to project idea of jazz as an 'adult' entertainment
	♥ 2:02pm Stork: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:00 Greetings, Friend Jeff!! I tried to find the originals where possible.

	🥁 ♥ 2:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stork @2:08 oh
	♥ 2:09pm Stork: ↳ mackeral @2:08 mackeral!
	🥁 ♥ 2:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ill Wind" by "Billie Holiday" Gentle Ben (Webster), lovely solo (and as behind the beat as Billie)
	2:10pm wendy del formaggio: @docjazz: Yes. This is beautiful.
	2:10pm Dean: M. mackeral, It used to be a nightclub that featured a lot of those mid-to-late '60s acts in these parts. When I read the liner notes to the first HT album, I realized they had performed around the corner from us and down the street a few blocks. I've reported this before, but I like to think about it, so I'll do it again. My parents saw Billie very near the end of her life. My father had to help her up to the stage. I was born in July '59. I like to think I heard her, too.
	🥁 ♥ 2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:07 I pulled out my "Complete Verve Recordings" box, there are recordings as late as 1959
	♥ 2:10pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Ill Wind" by "Billie Holiday" Unbearably beautiful
	🥁 ♥ 2:11pm David (in London): ↳ wendy del formaggio @1:43 Wendles, I love Poirot, too. I went to take some photos of Florin Court (which serves as his flat) in Smithfields, last year. I must confess, I was rather proud of this, too: daily.bandcamp.com...
	2:12pm Bri The Beatnik: I need to tune in to this one more often, I didn’t realize this show’s on til 3!
	🥁 ♥ 2:12pm chresti: My parents had the Lady Day album with the Teddy Wilson Orchestra
	🥁 ♥ 2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:07 i think it's sort of revenge of the nerds but wth peasants, it was a reaction to the devastation of ww2 also

	2:16pm wendy del formaggio: @David: Wowee! Congrats!
	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Strange Fruit" by "Billie Holiday" I have special rules set up in my home music setup to try to make sure Strange Fruit doesn't come up without warning in a shuffle-play. This is a song you only want to listen to on purpose, when you're prepared for it – not have show up unexpected during a party or something, which is both traumatic AND disrespectful.
	♥ 2:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:15 i dig that one!

	♥ 2:19pm northguineahills: hey, i had a pot lid fall off my shelf! but, it got stronger and stronger, and lasted 45 seconds, and i've been through a damaging 6.1 in japan (had to duck under our desks at school as windows cracked and shelves fell over.)
	2:19pm wendy del formaggio: @Jeff Moore: Indeed. Demands and causes a solemn pause. At least for anyone w a sense of humanity.
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Strange Fruit" by "Billie Holiday" Well there's a moderately ambitious not to say astonishingly profound & indeed brave bit of Jazz. Not too many statements like that until the next decade ...so we'll add forward-thinking.
	2:20pm Dean: "Vache" also means mean or nasty, bitchy. What is now M&M Automotive was then called the New Orleans House. I believe Billie was in SF. I wonder if I can find proof of an appearance up here c.'58...
	2:20pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Strange Fruit" by "Billie Holiday" I was writing an essay on this one. Sparking an Indie jazz label

	2:24pm Dean: Stanley Fish likes to tell the story of the beauty contest candidate who sang LCTWTO for the talent portion. She pronounced the words identically both times. Fish claims she's the only person who understands the song.
	🥁 ♥ 2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @2:20 ah thanks dean
	🥁 ♥ 2:25pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:21 never mind, dumb. that's tomorrow.
	2:27pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:19 Glad you survived!
	🥁 ♥ 2:27pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @2:24 aha so THAT'S where it's from. You must have told me this forever ago, I love telling it. And it makes total sense.
	2:27pm Bri The Beatnik: I didn’t pick up glasses for the eclipse :(
	2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @2:24 Classick.
	2:29pm Dean: Tomorrow's an eclipse? All this time I was expecting a giant eclair!
	♥ 2:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:27 i'm probably relieved as well. (3 people died in that one, in Chiba, just outside narita airport), i was 80 km away from the epicenter. it was fun cleaning up my parents' house as we were let out of school early).
	2:29pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @2:29 It’s only in a few states I think
	♥ 2:30pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Fine and Mellow" by "Billie Holiday" Billie struggled on this album, for sure, but she NAILS this one. I think it was the last take in the whole project. (now rereleased as a 4 CD mishegas)
	2:30pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:29 Wow, that was scary. The closest I’ve been to a natural disaster is being caught in a few hurricanes
	2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Dean @2:29 balleralert.com...
	2:31pm Dean: The eclair or the eclipse? If the former, I gotta see it. Just can't stare at it for too long.
	2:31pm Bri The Beatnik: Planning to have a job come Record store day so I can buy some JAZZ albums! 💗
	♥ 2:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:30 well, you know i've been flooded out by ian in 2022. I've been earthquakes, hurricanes, and typhoons...
	🥁 ♥ 2:32pm Michael 98145: humbling experiences
	🥁 ♥ 2:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @2:31 ha!
	2:32pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:31 That is true, I’m thankful you’re still here
	2:32pm wendy del formaggio: @Bri the Beatnik: Your local library may have eclipse glasses for you.
	2:32pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:32 Ah yes! I remember my ex saying that once before
	🥁 ♥ 2:34pm tom tom the pipers son: one thing with holiday is you feel her personal connection to the rest of band
	2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:34 Very much a Vocalist informed by Louis Armstrong's horn. She wasn't just about the most Affecting Artist you can think of. She was Early - & she was Important.
	🥁 ♥ 2:38pm Sem: Lovin' the Lady Day segment, the Storch. Thx so much.
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 yes and her kinship w/ lester young and you sense her as a band member and not a front
	♥ 2:39pm Stork: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:36 Billie said so explicitly- and they were great friends.
	♥ 2:40pm Stork: ↳ Sem @2:38 Thanks, Sem. This one was truly a labor of lerve.
	2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:39 Yeah her complicated sibling relationship from other mothers with the Prez - Lester Young - the man who invented Being Cool.
	🥁 ♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: Hope Lady C is okay
	2:46pm Bri The Beatnik: I’ve been digging through the vaults and listening to a lot of ‘30s and ‘40s jazz
	🥁 ♥ 2:47pm Michael 98145: "fox trot"
	2:47pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "My Man" by "Billie Holiday and the Stardusters" Ah yes! Kerouac loved this version!
	🥁 ♥ 2:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 to a lesser degree she probably had sibling relationships with whatever group she was in
	♥ 2:51pm northguineahills: in ukrainian folklore, if a stork is near you (or nest near your home), then you're a good person. I think that allegory holds up here. danks, for the storkitude!
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm Michael 98145: =Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'll soon forget=
	2:51pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ northguineahills @2:51 Nice!
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm David (in London): If you're explaining... you're not drinking Glen Passaic. So don't explain.
	2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:47 What did Kerouac say ? Billie Holiday had rocks in her heart. Not meaning she was unfeeling - but more Poetic an observation.
	♥ 2:52pm Stork: Hey youse-all! That was a funyon!! Let's again next Sunday?
	2:52pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:51 He said nobody sang it quite like her. He loved the way he could feel her pain in that rendition
	♥ 2:53pm Stork: ↳ Song: "You Better Go Now" by "Billie Holiday" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm Michael 98145: Geez. Another great show.
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 there was this actress with the living theater named sheila dabney who waS a holiday esque figure, during one run of a show something unfair was going on with production and she , very drunk, stood in front o theater yelling the show must NOT go on
	♥ 2:55pm Stork: Reminder: NO LADY C TONITE _ IGNORE YOUR LOCAL DJ!! He's a Dumb Jerk!
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @2:52 Kerouac of course not just a great empathic (♓︎Piscean) soul - but keenly informed of Jazz.
	🥁 ♥ 2:55pm mackeral: ↳ northguineahills @2:51 isn't this the time of year for storks in Slavic lore, too? arrival of Spring?
	🥁 ♥ 2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks stork, but all this lady day has left me sad but in a good way
	2:55pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Stork @2:55 Who’s filling in?

	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm doctorjazz: Dug the scatting along with Charlie Christian at the end, nice! Just caught the end of the show, fabulous stuff (of course, I HAVE all this stuff, but great sequencing by His Storkness!). Billie did indeed get her timing from Satch (but in the 30's and 40's, who didn't?). Thanks for the fabulous show Stork!
