WFMU: destination: OUT with Jeff Golick: Playlist from April 11, 2021

Listener comments!
	🥁 8:49am Listener Gregory: Good morning. I'm here for the duration, Jeff, so do your damnedest!
	8:53am listener james from westwood: Peeking in early to say hey hey!
	8:55am Jeff Golick: Hi, @Listener Gregory and @listener james! Trying to set the DJ dial to "do your damnedest" but it's stuck on "give it a shot."
	9:00am fred: Good morning Jeff and listeners
	🥁 9:01am hyde: damned if you do your damnedest, damned if you don't
	9:01am bigplanetnoise: GoodMorningGoodMorning!!
	9:02am fred: I thought "give it a jab" was the preferred phrasing in the US
	9:03am Jeff Golick: Good afternoon, @fred! Welcome, @hyde! And here's @bigplanetnoise! Whoa!
	9:11am Gina Bacon: Morning, Jeff and all!
	9:12am Jeff Golick: Good morning, @Gina Bacon! All ok in Nashville these days?
	9:12am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!!
	🥁 9:13am WR: Hello Jeff & those Destined to be listening to what Jeff is sending Out.
	9:13am Gina Bacon: Morning, bpn!
	9:14am Stork: Another fine Sunday OUTing! Hey, all!
	9:14am JtotheK: Hi!
	9:14am Gina Bacon: Yes, all’s quiet, thankfully!
	9:15am Jeff Golick: Heyo, @Stork! Howdy, @JtotheK!
	9:15am Jeff Golick: @WR! Welcome and greetings!
	9:17am TDK60: Hi Jeff.
	9:18am Jeff Golick: Hiya, big planet @TDK60!
	🥁 9:21am Listener Gregory: Jeff, did you skip the Stanley Cowell today? I was listening for the quiet marimbas and got hit by Lester Bowie in the eardrum.
	9:22am Jeff Golick: Sorrym @LG! I did skip Cowell. There was Louis Armsrong on the stream, so I tried to blend in by playing another Hot Fives number. That's why they call me Mr. Sophistication.
	🥁 9:22am hyde: don't think that i've ever heard this Elvin Jones before
	9:23am Jeff Golick: Brand new to my ears this week, @hyde! Would be a tough blindfold test, I think...
	🥁 9:23am Doug Schulkind: This show is just like Shtisel, but with less beard.
	9:24am Jeff Golick: Shalom, @Doug! Thanks for reminding me I need to shave.
	9:26am fred: @Doug: speaking of beard, is Dave planned to be back next week?
	9:26am Jeff Golick: (Have you been watching Shtisel? Is it good? Got sucked into a multi-parter last night on the Isabella S. Gardner museum art heist.)
	🥁 9:28am DJpeterDE: Good morning all. slowly awakening. Lots of good 1970s Vanguard records that are not in print, but many of them can be found for " share " (lots of Bunky Green)
	9:32am Jeff Golick: Good morning, @DJpeterDE! I do not have a handle on the Vanguard list. Rudresh Mahanthappa did a post way back on the D:O blog that introduced me to Bunky Green, tho.
	🥁 9:35am Listener Gregory: (Jeff, 9:22) That Armstrong on the stream had me jumping in the shower. No way anyone could interrupt that.
	9:37am DJpeterDE: This Celeste makes me think of Mr Rodgers
	9:38am mic_a: What is it with you and Bryce both playing records from deep in my stacks these last few days? Unprecedented validations of my teenage record choices, thanks. That "Greasy Truckers" thing is ridiculously obscure.
	🥁 9:39am Doug Schulkind: @fred I have had no word from Dave about a substitute, so I think he is a GO for Saturday.
	9:39am Jeff Golick: Well, we've been digging in your stacks, @mic_a. Hope that's ok.
	9:40am Jeff Golick: @DJpeterDE: definite childlike sound leanings.
	9:41am mic_a: Okeh!
	9:42am holland oats: yo d:o! peeps!
	9:43am Jeff Golick: Just in time for breakfast, it's @holland oats!
	🥁 9:48am Listener Gregory: Is this Dr. Seuss Ballet one of the ballets that's been canceled?
	9:49am Jeff Golick: Well there was that wardrobe malfunction with one of the Sneetches that time.
	9:50am Mark R: Well, I have to say, you were much hipper than me back in the 70s, @mic_a, because I never heard of Greasy Truckers, or Unobstructed Universe, for that matter. But I'm really digging the 70s sounds, Jeff. This piece could have come out yesterday to my ears. Let's see, in 1976, I think I was still catching up with early Mahavishnu, maybe Return to Forever, and actually into a lot of late 60s rock like the Moody Blues and Jethro Tull. I was in high school, so my tastes were a little shall we say, prog-rocky in those days.
	9:51am ParUbi: Here for the Mighty Boosh
	9:52am Jeff Golick: Alright, @ParUbi! @Mark R., welcome. I think taste is probably an overrated concept.
	9:53am Mark R: To my point, this brand new Christopher Hoffman sits very nicely next to the Unobstructed Universe track from 45 years ago, doesn't it?
	🥁 9:53am chresti: Morning Jeff and d:OUTters!
	9:54am Mark R: I make no apologies for my prog rock fandom. I'll just say that Tull and the Moodies aren't in my heavy rotation any more, but I haven't thrown those albums out, either!
	🥁 9:54am Listener Gregory: Dr. Seuss Ballet: The Dance of the Seven Hats was actually shut down by the Vienna police when it was first performed.
	🥁 9:54am DJpeterDE: For some reason the Tom Lord discography lists entries for both Christopher Hoffman and Christopher von Hoffman.
	🥁 9:55am doctorjazz: Hey Outies!
	9:55am Jeff Golick: Hallo, @chresti! Hallo, @doctorjazz, Drummer stream parent!
	9:57am TDK60: Mark R. I still like J. Tull's 'Benefit' album, good cohesive work.
	🥁 9:57am Listener Gregory: If doctorjazz is the drummer stream parent, should we address him as @doctordad? Also, great achievement in finding two asp record covers!
	9:59am Jeff Golick: Thank you, @LG. That segue was entirely based on visuals.
	10:01am Stork: Oh, nice to hear more Jakob Bro! and new stuff! Just played something by him last week.
	10:01am Mark R: Yes, TDK, also "Stand Up"--I lean more towards the early stuff these days.
	🥁 10:03am doctorjazz: The Jakob Bro is lovely!
	10:03am mic_a: Oh yes, I was listening to all those proggies as well. But 1975 or 6 was a real pivot year when I started listening to Philly's WXPN, whose playlists of the time were right harmonious to our WFMU listening now. That, and somehow I got hold of a JEM Records mail order catalog (record import company in New Jersey) when they were dipping a semi-grudging toe into consumer mail order. Which would have been how I got hold of the Greasy Truckers album. (But I still have that original issue Tull "Living In The Past" with the quasi-hardcover book binding.)
	10:03am Mark R: Has ECM ever released a bad album. BTW just read a review of one of Keith Jarrett's last concerts in Budapest that was very praiseworthy but also bittersweet, because as you probably know, Keith has suffered a couple of strokes that probably mean his playing days are over.
	10:04am Mark R: Ah yes, @mic_a, from the days when record labels spent no expense (and charged accordingly).
	🥁 10:05am doctorjazz: Outta Also got that ECM open soundstage, wide,, much "air"
	🥁 10:05am Listener Gregory: @Mark R, that Budapest concert is very good, IMHO. In concerts of his later years, about half the "songs" sound like classical music.
	10:06am Mark R: Wea=ll, Gregory, he's improvising, so maybe he's half-remembering some concerto or other, or a phrase from one.
	🥁 10:07am doctorjazz: Hey, Stork!
	🥁 10:08am Listener Gregory: Certainly, @Mark R. He plays and records classical music too. I have his (ECM) record of Shostakovich preludes and fugues (one for every key), which I thought was tremendous. I cannot claim expertise in such things, though.
	🥁 10:11am doctorjazz: I have those early Tull albums too, saw then live around Aqualung time, Stand up was the 1st I heard, and always my favorite. Hadn't heard of those other bands, though.
	10:13am Stork: Hiya, Doc!
	🥁 10:14am doctorjazz: In the other hand, on Big Planet Noise, I generally haven't heard of more than half the bands (and I always thought I was fairly knowledgeable in music stuff-WFMU in general is fairly humbling).
	🥁 10:17am Listener Gregory: @doctordad, better let these kids have Their Music. If you and I start to like it, they'll have to stop listening to it.
	🥁 10:17am doctorjazz: Such an interesting, tart tone...
	🥁 10:18am doctorjazz: @LG, 😄
	🥁 10:21am duke: Good morn listeners and non-listeners alike
	🥁 10:22am doctorjazz: Pretty cool to do Body and Soul and not refer to the well known previous versions (Trane, Hawk)
	10:23am Uncle Michael: I was listening to the Freddie Hubbard B&S last night.
	10:23am Jeff Golick: Wassup, @duke! @UM: great minds?
	10:24am bigplanetnoise: Morning, doctorjazzdad! I kinda like that it’s a 50-50 ratio with your ears!
	🥁 10:24am doctorjazz: Still playing vinyl, UM? Hope you cleaned that stylus! (Heart show Friday!)
	🥁 10:26am doctorjazz: Hey, BPN, maybe 50% on a "good" night. But I wouldn't be here if I just wanted to hear stuff I know.
	🥁 10:27am doctorjazz: UM, that was "Great Show Friday"
	10:28am bigplanetnoise: doctorjazz - agree 100%. Me, too.
	🥁 10:29am Listener Gregory: I also wouldn't be here if I only wanted to hear stuff that I like. That's no way to expand your horizons. Jeff always obliges.
	10:31am Jeff Golick: I think it was Jesse "Neighbors Noise" Kaminsky who noted, during the marathon, that liking something isn't the be-all end-all. He said it better, but you get the idea.
	🥁 10:33am doctorjazz: And I need to help my daughter add to her "Why does my dad listen to this music?" Series sheposts on social media (funny story, she posted someone I was listening to here, DO, I think it was Fred who, months later, posted thanking her for introducing her to that artist...)
	10:33am Jeff Golick: I'm here for anyone who wants to hear something they don't like.
	10:34am Stanley: Ha Jeff, why do you think I tune in?
	🥁 10:35am chresti: A lot of things I didn't like on the first listen, I liked later.
	10:35am Jeff Golick: I presume it's for the jokes, @Stanley.
	10:36am Jeff Golick: Absolutely have the same experience, @chresti. It's a uniquely satisfying feeling.
	🥁 10:36am Doug Schulkind: The vanishing of Sonny Simmons from the scene was, along with the disappearances of Giuseppi Logan, Abdul Wadud and Henry Grimes, one of those great, aching mysteries of the music. Joyously, all four were ultimately "found." But, miserably, only Wadud is still with us.
	🥁 10:37am chresti: *and vice versa.
	10:37am Jeff Golick: Well said, @Doug. Grimes, Logan, and Simmons all had major early statements on ESP-Disk.
	10:38am fred: @doctorjazz: It was actually Dave Sewelson, when he had Amirtha Kidambi on his show. I may have oversold that one a bit, but her post did nudge me into buying her records with Lea Bertucci (didn't take much, I'm a Bertucci fan)
	🥁 10:39am Listener Gregory: @Doug, was Simmons part of the loft jazz scene? I have a vague memory of his being on a compilation album I have.
	🥁 10:40am doctorjazz: Ahhh, my memory is not great, Fred, thanks for the correction (I did find it funny, though, she did too)
	10:40am Jeff Golick: I think he was back on the west coast by the early 70s, @LG.
	🥁 10:41am Doug Schulkind: I believe by the time the loft scene was underway in NYC, Simmons was already adrift and homeless in San Francisco.
	🥁 10:42am doctorjazz: Isn't CIMP out of upstate NY? I used to get Cadence magazine, which was their outlet (they also did high end audio)
	🥁 10:43am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Hmmm, I like the theory you seem to be suggesting. That musicians would rather have disappeared then have anything more to do with that scum-sucking gangster Bernard Stollman from ESP.
	🥁 10:43am Listener Gregory: He seems to have played on two Eric Dolphy albums. That may be his only representation in my collection.
	10:45am Jeff Golick: It certainly didn't help any one of them, @Doug.
	10:46am fred: @doctorjazz: I was hoping you both would find it funny that I would hear that and think "I need this" (which is the actual truth, sent me to the archive). So I'm looking forward to her next post
	10:48am Jeff Golick: @doc: Yeah CIMP is out of way upstate NY, practically Canada.
	🥁 10:48am doctorjazz: Interesting to see Warner Brothers still releasing this music in 1992. No major labels around now that would.
	10:48am Jeff Golick: Recorded '92, @doc; released a couple years after, I believe.
	🥁 10:50am Listener Gregory: Wasn't Qwest Quincy Jones's imprint? Usually such aberrations are explained by a single executive who has freedom for a while before the corporate parent realizes what is going on.
	10:52am Jeff Golick: Yeah, there was a Quincy connection made, apparently, @LG. Simmons got two albums recorded, then was offered an insultingly small amount to re-up, and he went his own way after that.
	10:53am spodiodi: good morning, Jeff Golick and far OUT types!
	10:54am Jeff Golick: And to you, @spodiodi!
	🥁 10:55am doctorjazz: This is lovely!
	10:56am Stork: I'm gettin' transported ovah heah! Horn 'n harp!
	🥁 10:56am Listener Gregory: I have to say that I am enjoying the later Simmons pieces more than the earlier ones.
	10:57am Jeff Golick: Then you're not going to like the next set, @LG.
	🥁 10:59am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, it was a constant dilemma, to try to stick with a major label that disrespected you, or go with a tiny label with little PR and iffy distribution. (Of course, now major labels have dropped creative music entirely, making the decision much easier.) P.S. Uh oh.
	🥁 10:59am DJpeterDE: You could tell a history of record labels just by tracing Sonny Simmons. He has a couple records on Arhoolie!
	11:00am Stork: This music is forcing the sun out from behind the clouds.
	11:01am Uncle Michael: Doc, I really ought to run my cartridges through the dishwasher after making them plow through all that vintage groove gack. And thank you!
	🥁 11:03am WR: back inside from shopping, light rain here in Queens, have been listening to the Out stream all along. I am a fan of early Simmons but that recording of Theme for Linda is wonderful.
	11:04am fred: @Listener Gregory: Some majors sit on treasure troves of jazz tapes. One issue is the labels fell off over time, so they don't know which is which
	🥁 11:05am doctorjazz: Love this Dolphy!
	11:09am Mark R: One of the things that constantly amazes me about Dolphy is the breadth of emotions and flavors he expressed, from album to album, song to song, even within the same song. Truly one of the most gifted musicians of our time. I'm sorry I was too young to have ever seen him live.
	11:09am TDK60: What a pleasant Dolphy track, sorta calypso-y maybe. [?]
	🥁 11:10am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 Absolutely calypso for sure!
	🥁 11:11am Listener Gregory: Discogs is telling me that Music Matador was written by both Simmons and Prince Lasha. What's interesting about this record is that it has three instruments that Dolphy plays and it isn't immediately obvious that he isn't somehow playing all of them. (But his bass clarinet is so distinctive you know that has to be him.)
	11:11am coelacanth∅: good morning Jeff and all
	11:11am rw: Morning!
	11:13am Jeff Golick: Big greets, @coelacanth∅ and @rw!
	11:14am Mark R: Simmons and Prince Lasha both also played on Eric's excellent "Iron Man" album, which was recorded around the same time.
	11:15am Mark R: Some warm, Caribbean/Latin-flavored tunes for this gloomy, rainy Sunday in the northeast.
	🥁 11:18am Doug Schulkind: The Cry is one of my all-time favorites. If I was being exiled from one desert island to a smaller desert island and had to cut down, this would be in my "bring with" disc pile.
	11:18am Mark R: I didn't understand all the Sonny Simmons until I realized he died last week--very sad news, indeed.
	11:18am Andrew Waterloo: Love this rhythm section
	11:19am spodiodi: lol, Doug. i love that scenario aloha, coelacanthØ
	11:21am Jeff Golick: Ahoy, @Andrew Waterloo!
	🥁 11:23am chresti: Hi spodi!\\//
	11:23am spodiodi: hi chresti! \\// happy sunday!
	🥁 11:24am DJpeterDE: ICYMI, Resonance issued the complete Music Matador sessions... www.discogs.com...
	11:24am Mark R: Always curious where one gets one paws on an unreleased record like this one.
	11:26am Jeff Golick: Totally forgot about that release, @DJpeterDE! Thanks for the reminder.
	🥁 11:26am Listener Gregory: Zounds!
	11:28am fred: @Doug: but wouldn't your "bring with" pile be enough to qualify as an island? A loophole that might apply to many DJs and some listeners who are stream dads
	11:28am rw: If I get stranded on a desert island I hope it’s the one that Doug left when he downsized.
	11:29am Jeff Golick: @Mark R.: the internet
	🥁 11:29am Doug Schulkind: @fred I could have used my desert island discs as a bridge to the mainland and to freedom. But I would never treat my discs with such disrespect!
	11:32am Stork: @rw: I am lol'ing now.
	11:32am TDK60: I'll travel light, with just my desert island thumb drive.
	11:32am Mark R: Ah, ye olde internet. To show you how hip I am, I just had to have my son show me how to link my wireless earbuds to my laptop! @DJ Peter, the complete Music Matador sessions looks like the way to go (except I already have "Iron Man" separately, and with such a long, long, very long list of albums I want to pick up, I don't know that I can justify the redundancy. Now, my birthday's coming up in a couple of weeks, if anyone wants any ideas...
	🥁 11:34am chresti: Mark R, sons are good for that.
	11:35am coelacanth∅: aloha spodi
	11:37am coelacanth∅: i'm just glad they have electricity and record players on desert islands
	11:38am Jeff Golick: Simmons here (on Rumasuma) with his then-wife, trumpeter Barbara Donald.
	🥁 11:41am hyde: this record is aces
	🥁 11:41am chresti: Haha coel
	🥁 11:41am DJpeterDE: The Ancient Ritual album has "Zarak Simmons" as drummer, and there is a Zarak Simmons from Seattle, which is where Barbara Donald ended up. (I'm guessing Zarak is Sonny's son, is my point.) And it's intriguing that Charles Moffett's son is the bassist on that same album.
	🥁 11:42am DJpeterDE: @Mark R FWIW the sound quality on the Resonance issue is much improved over all those LP issues of Iron Man etc.
	🥁 11:43am DJpeterDE: Also I'll say this: the photos etc. in Resonance releases are tops. (The writing is often disappointing, although this release has good essay if I recall.)
	11:44am Jeff Golick: Zarak is indeed the son of Sonny Simmons and Barbara Donald.
	🥁 11:45am WR: Good points DJpeterDE.
	🥁 11:45am hyde: i just precariously stacked so many dishes in the dish strainer that i'm worried one of these high notes is gonna send it all tumbling
	11:48am fred: @hyde: destination may be out, but make sure your dishes are not going down. Word to the wise
	🥁 11:48am Listener Gregory: @DJpeterDE, I have to say that I am very tired of reissues with all the new essays and 87 new photos never before seen! The 2 or 3 discs now take up 4 inches of precious storage spacee. I would be interested in Dolphy photos, I guess, but for most of these sets, I just look at them once, and it's only the CDs that have continuing value to me.
	🥁 11:48am DJpeterDE: Barbara Donald is my go-to "blindfold test" trumpeter if you want to blow someone's mind.
	11:49am Stork: Beautiful show, Jeff.
	🥁 11:49am DJpeterDE: @LG I hear you. Some of the Resonance issues are not standard shelf size, either. Annoying!
	🥁 11:50am doctorjazz: Looked at the Resonance Matador (of course), same issue as Mark R, beliefs I have 2/3 of it, can I justify spending for the last third?
	11:50am Stork: The Stork Club opens the spigots - -er, doors in about 10. Here's the door: wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:51am Listener Gregory: Completely irrelevant: While moving some LPs, I discovered I own the Atlantic record "Do the Twist with Ray Charles," complete with illustrations of foot and hand positions so that you can master this very difficult dance. Will have to try.
	🥁 11:52am doctorjazz: Too much RIP...
	🥁 11:53am DJpeterDE: @doctorjazz FYI 2 dolphy alto sax solos (love me), a couple duets with Richard Davis, and then the ensemble recordings. i dig it, your mileage may vary.
	11:53am fred: @Listener Gregory: Please try before posting, that way we'll know it can be survived
	11:54am Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music this morning, Jeff.
	🥁 11:54am Listener Gregory: @fred, if you don't hear from me... DEXTER!!!
	11:55am Stork: SEXTER IS MORE LIKE IT!
	🥁 11:55am doctorjazz: Almost noon, wow, went fast, thanks, Jeff!
	🥁 11:56am DJpeterDE: I love Dexter's ballads. So "muscular" and tender at the same time
	11:56am TDK60: Thanks, Jeff.
	11:56am spodiodi: thanks, Jeff!
	11:56am Jeff Golick: Thanks, everyone, for being here with me! Loved it.
	11:57am Mark R: Wow, this Dexter track is sure a lovely closer. Thanks for the usual wonderful show, Jeff. Heard a lot of old music that was new to me!
	11:58am Jeff Golick: Dexter Gordon Sonny Clark Butch Warren Billy Higgins American Geniuses.
	🥁 11:58am doctorjazz: Outing with some real, live people in a short while, crazy!
	🥁 11:59am Listener Gregory: Jeff, you did your damnedest. That is all any devil can ask. Thanks.
	🥁 11:59am hyde: thanks!
	11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff! rest in peace Sonny Simmons.
	🥁 11:59am Listener Gregory: @doctordad, real people?? For God's sake be careful!
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Jeff!
	🥁 12:00pm doctorjazz: Masked, distanced, yada yada yada...
	🥁 12:01pm chresti: Thanks Jeff!
	🥁 12:27pm WR: thank you Jeff!

Listener comments!
	🥁 8:49am Listener Gregory: Good morning. I'm here for the duration, Jeff, so do your damnedest!
	8:53am listener james from westwood: Peeking in early to say hey hey!
	8:55am Jeff Golick: Hi, @Listener Gregory and @listener james! Trying to set the DJ dial to "do your damnedest" but it's stuck on "give it a shot."
	9:00am fred: Good morning Jeff and listeners
	🥁 9:01am hyde: damned if you do your damnedest, damned if you don't
	9:01am bigplanetnoise: GoodMorningGoodMorning!!
	9:02am fred: I thought "give it a jab" was the preferred phrasing in the US
	9:03am Jeff Golick: Good afternoon, @fred! Welcome, @hyde! And here's @bigplanetnoise! Whoa!
	9:11am Gina Bacon: Morning, Jeff and all!
	9:12am Jeff Golick: Good morning, @Gina Bacon! All ok in Nashville these days?
	9:12am bigplanetnoise: Morning, GFB!!
	🥁 9:13am WR: Hello Jeff & those Destined to be listening to what Jeff is sending Out.
	9:13am Gina Bacon: Morning, bpn!
	9:14am Stork: Another fine Sunday OUTing! Hey, all!
	9:14am JtotheK: Hi!
	9:14am Gina Bacon: Yes, all’s quiet, thankfully!
	9:15am Jeff Golick: Heyo, @Stork! Howdy, @JtotheK!
	9:15am Jeff Golick: @WR! Welcome and greetings!
	9:17am TDK60: Hi Jeff.
	9:18am Jeff Golick: Hiya, big planet @TDK60!
	🥁 9:21am Listener Gregory: Jeff, did you skip the Stanley Cowell today? I was listening for the quiet marimbas and got hit by Lester Bowie in the eardrum.
	9:22am Jeff Golick: Sorrym @LG! I did skip Cowell. There was Louis Armsrong on the stream, so I tried to blend in by playing another Hot Fives number. That's why they call me Mr. Sophistication.
	🥁 9:22am hyde: don't think that i've ever heard this Elvin Jones before
	9:23am Jeff Golick: Brand new to my ears this week, @hyde! Would be a tough blindfold test, I think...
	🥁 9:23am Doug Schulkind: This show is just like Shtisel, but with less beard.
	9:24am Jeff Golick: Shalom, @Doug! Thanks for reminding me I need to shave.
	9:26am fred: @Doug: speaking of beard, is Dave planned to be back next week?
	9:26am Jeff Golick: (Have you been watching Shtisel? Is it good? Got sucked into a multi-parter last night on the Isabella S. Gardner museum art heist.)
	🥁 9:28am DJpeterDE: Good morning all. slowly awakening. Lots of good 1970s Vanguard records that are not in print, but many of them can be found for " share " (lots of Bunky Green)
	9:32am Jeff Golick: Good morning, @DJpeterDE! I do not have a handle on the Vanguard list. Rudresh Mahanthappa did a post way back on the D:O blog that introduced me to Bunky Green, tho.
	🥁 9:35am Listener Gregory: (Jeff, 9:22) That Armstrong on the stream had me jumping in the shower. No way anyone could interrupt that.
	9:37am DJpeterDE: This Celeste makes me think of Mr Rodgers
	9:38am mic_a: What is it with you and Bryce both playing records from deep in my stacks these last few days? Unprecedented validations of my teenage record choices, thanks. That "Greasy Truckers" thing is ridiculously obscure.
	🥁 9:39am Doug Schulkind: @fred I have had no word from Dave about a substitute, so I think he is a GO for Saturday.
	9:39am Jeff Golick: Well, we've been digging in your stacks, @mic_a. Hope that's ok.
	9:40am Jeff Golick: @DJpeterDE: definite childlike sound leanings.
	9:41am mic_a: Okeh!
	9:42am holland oats: yo d:o! peeps!
	9:43am Jeff Golick: Just in time for breakfast, it's @holland oats!
	🥁 9:48am Listener Gregory: Is this Dr. Seuss Ballet one of the ballets that's been canceled?
	9:49am Jeff Golick: Well there was that wardrobe malfunction with one of the Sneetches that time.
	9:50am Mark R: Well, I have to say, you were much hipper than me back in the 70s, @mic_a, because I never heard of Greasy Truckers, or Unobstructed Universe, for that matter. But I'm really digging the 70s sounds, Jeff. This piece could have come out yesterday to my ears. Let's see, in 1976, I think I was still catching up with early Mahavishnu, maybe Return to Forever, and actually into a lot of late 60s rock like the Moody Blues and Jethro Tull. I was in high school, so my tastes were a little shall we say, prog-rocky in those days.
	9:51am ParUbi: Here for the Mighty Boosh
	9:52am Jeff Golick: Alright, @ParUbi! @Mark R., welcome. I think taste is probably an overrated concept.
	9:53am Mark R: To my point, this brand new Christopher Hoffman sits very nicely next to the Unobstructed Universe track from 45 years ago, doesn't it?
	🥁 9:53am chresti: Morning Jeff and d:OUTters!
	9:54am Mark R: I make no apologies for my prog rock fandom. I'll just say that Tull and the Moodies aren't in my heavy rotation any more, but I haven't thrown those albums out, either!
	🥁 9:54am Listener Gregory: Dr. Seuss Ballet: The Dance of the Seven Hats was actually shut down by the Vienna police when it was first performed.
	🥁 9:54am DJpeterDE: For some reason the Tom Lord discography lists entries for both Christopher Hoffman and Christopher von Hoffman.
	🥁 9:55am doctorjazz: Hey Outies!
	9:55am Jeff Golick: Hallo, @chresti! Hallo, @doctorjazz, Drummer stream parent!
	9:57am TDK60: Mark R. I still like J. Tull's 'Benefit' album, good cohesive work.
	🥁 9:57am Listener Gregory: If doctorjazz is the drummer stream parent, should we address him as @doctordad? Also, great achievement in finding two asp record covers!
	9:59am Jeff Golick: Thank you, @LG. That segue was entirely based on visuals.
	10:01am Stork: Oh, nice to hear more Jakob Bro! and new stuff! Just played something by him last week.
	10:01am Mark R: Yes, TDK, also "Stand Up"--I lean more towards the early stuff these days.
	🥁 10:03am doctorjazz: The Jakob Bro is lovely!
	10:03am mic_a: Oh yes, I was listening to all those proggies as well. But 1975 or 6 was a real pivot year when I started listening to Philly's WXPN, whose playlists of the time were right harmonious to our WFMU listening now. That, and somehow I got hold of a JEM Records mail order catalog (record import company in New Jersey) when they were dipping a semi-grudging toe into consumer mail order. Which would have been how I got hold of the Greasy Truckers album. (But I still have that original issue Tull "Living In The Past" with the quasi-hardcover book binding.)
	10:03am Mark R: Has ECM ever released a bad album. BTW just read a review of one of Keith Jarrett's last concerts in Budapest that was very praiseworthy but also bittersweet, because as you probably know, Keith has suffered a couple of strokes that probably mean his playing days are over.
	10:04am Mark R: Ah yes, @mic_a, from the days when record labels spent no expense (and charged accordingly).
	🥁 10:05am doctorjazz: Outta Also got that ECM open soundstage, wide,, much "air"
	🥁 10:05am Listener Gregory: @Mark R, that Budapest concert is very good, IMHO. In concerts of his later years, about half the "songs" sound like classical music.
	10:06am Mark R: Wea=ll, Gregory, he's improvising, so maybe he's half-remembering some concerto or other, or a phrase from one.
	🥁 10:07am doctorjazz: Hey, Stork!
	🥁 10:08am Listener Gregory: Certainly, @Mark R. He plays and records classical music too. I have his (ECM) record of Shostakovich preludes and fugues (one for every key), which I thought was tremendous. I cannot claim expertise in such things, though.
	🥁 10:11am doctorjazz: I have those early Tull albums too, saw then live around Aqualung time, Stand up was the 1st I heard, and always my favorite. Hadn't heard of those other bands, though.
	10:13am Stork: Hiya, Doc!
	🥁 10:14am doctorjazz: In the other hand, on Big Planet Noise, I generally haven't heard of more than half the bands (and I always thought I was fairly knowledgeable in music stuff-WFMU in general is fairly humbling).
	🥁 10:17am Listener Gregory: @doctordad, better let these kids have Their Music. If you and I start to like it, they'll have to stop listening to it.
	🥁 10:17am doctorjazz: Such an interesting, tart tone...
	🥁 10:18am doctorjazz: @LG, 😄
	🥁 10:21am duke: Good morn listeners and non-listeners alike
	🥁 10:22am doctorjazz: Pretty cool to do Body and Soul and not refer to the well known previous versions (Trane, Hawk)
	10:23am Uncle Michael: I was listening to the Freddie Hubbard B&S last night.
	10:23am Jeff Golick: Wassup, @duke! @UM: great minds?
	10:24am bigplanetnoise: Morning, doctorjazzdad! I kinda like that it’s a 50-50 ratio with your ears!
	🥁 10:24am doctorjazz: Still playing vinyl, UM? Hope you cleaned that stylus! (Heart show Friday!)
	🥁 10:26am doctorjazz: Hey, BPN, maybe 50% on a "good" night. But I wouldn't be here if I just wanted to hear stuff I know.
	🥁 10:27am doctorjazz: UM, that was "Great Show Friday"
	10:28am bigplanetnoise: doctorjazz - agree 100%. Me, too.
	🥁 10:29am Listener Gregory: I also wouldn't be here if I only wanted to hear stuff that I like. That's no way to expand your horizons. Jeff always obliges.
	10:31am Jeff Golick: I think it was Jesse "Neighbors Noise" Kaminsky who noted, during the marathon, that liking something isn't the be-all end-all. He said it better, but you get the idea.
	🥁 10:33am doctorjazz: And I need to help my daughter add to her "Why does my dad listen to this music?" Series sheposts on social media (funny story, she posted someone I was listening to here, DO, I think it was Fred who, months later, posted thanking her for introducing her to that artist...)
	10:33am Jeff Golick: I'm here for anyone who wants to hear something they don't like.
	10:34am Stanley: Ha Jeff, why do you think I tune in?
	🥁 10:35am chresti: A lot of things I didn't like on the first listen, I liked later.
	10:35am Jeff Golick: I presume it's for the jokes, @Stanley.
	10:36am Jeff Golick: Absolutely have the same experience, @chresti. It's a uniquely satisfying feeling.
	🥁 10:36am Doug Schulkind: The vanishing of Sonny Simmons from the scene was, along with the disappearances of Giuseppi Logan, Abdul Wadud and Henry Grimes, one of those great, aching mysteries of the music. Joyously, all four were ultimately "found." But, miserably, only Wadud is still with us.
	🥁 10:37am chresti: *and vice versa.
	10:37am Jeff Golick: Well said, @Doug. Grimes, Logan, and Simmons all had major early statements on ESP-Disk.
	10:38am fred: @doctorjazz: It was actually Dave Sewelson, when he had Amirtha Kidambi on his show. I may have oversold that one a bit, but her post did nudge me into buying her records with Lea Bertucci (didn't take much, I'm a Bertucci fan)
	🥁 10:39am Listener Gregory: @Doug, was Simmons part of the loft jazz scene? I have a vague memory of his being on a compilation album I have.
	🥁 10:40am doctorjazz: Ahhh, my memory is not great, Fred, thanks for the correction (I did find it funny, though, she did too)
	10:40am Jeff Golick: I think he was back on the west coast by the early 70s, @LG.
	🥁 10:41am Doug Schulkind: I believe by the time the loft scene was underway in NYC, Simmons was already adrift and homeless in San Francisco.
	🥁 10:42am doctorjazz: Isn't CIMP out of upstate NY? I used to get Cadence magazine, which was their outlet (they also did high end audio)
	🥁 10:43am Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Golick Hmmm, I like the theory you seem to be suggesting. That musicians would rather have disappeared then have anything more to do with that scum-sucking gangster Bernard Stollman from ESP.
	🥁 10:43am Listener Gregory: He seems to have played on two Eric Dolphy albums. That may be his only representation in my collection.
	10:45am Jeff Golick: It certainly didn't help any one of them, @Doug.
	10:46am fred: @doctorjazz: I was hoping you both would find it funny that I would hear that and think "I need this" (which is the actual truth, sent me to the archive). So I'm looking forward to her next post
	10:48am Jeff Golick: @doc: Yeah CIMP is out of way upstate NY, practically Canada.
	🥁 10:48am doctorjazz: Interesting to see Warner Brothers still releasing this music in 1992. No major labels around now that would.
	10:48am Jeff Golick: Recorded '92, @doc; released a couple years after, I believe.
	🥁 10:50am Listener Gregory: Wasn't Qwest Quincy Jones's imprint? Usually such aberrations are explained by a single executive who has freedom for a while before the corporate parent realizes what is going on.
	10:52am Jeff Golick: Yeah, there was a Quincy connection made, apparently, @LG. Simmons got two albums recorded, then was offered an insultingly small amount to re-up, and he went his own way after that.
	10:53am spodiodi: good morning, Jeff Golick and far OUT types!
	10:54am Jeff Golick: And to you, @spodiodi!
	🥁 10:55am doctorjazz: This is lovely!
	10:56am Stork: I'm gettin' transported ovah heah! Horn 'n harp!
	🥁 10:56am Listener Gregory: I have to say that I am enjoying the later Simmons pieces more than the earlier ones.
	10:57am Jeff Golick: Then you're not going to like the next set, @LG.
	🥁 10:59am Listener Gregory: @Jeff, it was a constant dilemma, to try to stick with a major label that disrespected you, or go with a tiny label with little PR and iffy distribution. (Of course, now major labels have dropped creative music entirely, making the decision much easier.) P.S. Uh oh.
	🥁 10:59am DJpeterDE: You could tell a history of record labels just by tracing Sonny Simmons. He has a couple records on Arhoolie!
	11:00am Stork: This music is forcing the sun out from behind the clouds.
	11:01am Uncle Michael: Doc, I really ought to run my cartridges through the dishwasher after making them plow through all that vintage groove gack. And thank you!
	🥁 11:03am WR: back inside from shopping, light rain here in Queens, have been listening to the Out stream all along. I am a fan of early Simmons but that recording of Theme for Linda is wonderful.
	11:04am fred: @Listener Gregory: Some majors sit on treasure troves of jazz tapes. One issue is the labels fell off over time, so they don't know which is which
	🥁 11:05am doctorjazz: Love this Dolphy!
	11:09am Mark R: One of the things that constantly amazes me about Dolphy is the breadth of emotions and flavors he expressed, from album to album, song to song, even within the same song. Truly one of the most gifted musicians of our time. I'm sorry I was too young to have ever seen him live.
	11:09am TDK60: What a pleasant Dolphy track, sorta calypso-y maybe. [?]
	🥁 11:10am Doug Schulkind: @TDK60 Absolutely calypso for sure!
	🥁 11:11am Listener Gregory: Discogs is telling me that Music Matador was written by both Simmons and Prince Lasha. What's interesting about this record is that it has three instruments that Dolphy plays and it isn't immediately obvious that he isn't somehow playing all of them. (But his bass clarinet is so distinctive you know that has to be him.)
	11:11am coelacanth∅: good morning Jeff and all
	11:11am rw: Morning!
	11:13am Jeff Golick: Big greets, @coelacanth∅ and @rw!
	11:14am Mark R: Simmons and Prince Lasha both also played on Eric's excellent "Iron Man" album, which was recorded around the same time.
	11:15am Mark R: Some warm, Caribbean/Latin-flavored tunes for this gloomy, rainy Sunday in the northeast.
	🥁 11:18am Doug Schulkind: The Cry is one of my all-time favorites. If I was being exiled from one desert island to a smaller desert island and had to cut down, this would be in my "bring with" disc pile.
	11:18am Mark R: I didn't understand all the Sonny Simmons until I realized he died last week--very sad news, indeed.
	11:18am Andrew Waterloo: Love this rhythm section
	11:19am spodiodi: lol, Doug. i love that scenario aloha, coelacanthØ
	11:21am Jeff Golick: Ahoy, @Andrew Waterloo!
	🥁 11:23am chresti: Hi spodi!\\//
	11:23am spodiodi: hi chresti! \\// happy sunday!
	🥁 11:24am DJpeterDE: ICYMI, Resonance issued the complete Music Matador sessions... www.discogs.com...
	11:24am Mark R: Always curious where one gets one paws on an unreleased record like this one.
	11:26am Jeff Golick: Totally forgot about that release, @DJpeterDE! Thanks for the reminder.
	🥁 11:26am Listener Gregory: Zounds!
	11:28am fred: @Doug: but wouldn't your "bring with" pile be enough to qualify as an island? A loophole that might apply to many DJs and some listeners who are stream dads
	11:28am rw: If I get stranded on a desert island I hope it’s the one that Doug left when he downsized.
	11:29am Jeff Golick: @Mark R.: the internet
	🥁 11:29am Doug Schulkind: @fred I could have used my desert island discs as a bridge to the mainland and to freedom. But I would never treat my discs with such disrespect!
	11:32am Stork: @rw: I am lol'ing now.
	11:32am TDK60: I'll travel light, with just my desert island thumb drive.
	11:32am Mark R: Ah, ye olde internet. To show you how hip I am, I just had to have my son show me how to link my wireless earbuds to my laptop! @DJ Peter, the complete Music Matador sessions looks like the way to go (except I already have "Iron Man" separately, and with such a long, long, very long list of albums I want to pick up, I don't know that I can justify the redundancy. Now, my birthday's coming up in a couple of weeks, if anyone wants any ideas...
	🥁 11:34am chresti: Mark R, sons are good for that.
	11:35am coelacanth∅: aloha spodi
	11:37am coelacanth∅: i'm just glad they have electricity and record players on desert islands
	11:38am Jeff Golick: Simmons here (on Rumasuma) with his then-wife, trumpeter Barbara Donald.
	🥁 11:41am hyde: this record is aces
	🥁 11:41am chresti: Haha coel
	🥁 11:41am DJpeterDE: The Ancient Ritual album has "Zarak Simmons" as drummer, and there is a Zarak Simmons from Seattle, which is where Barbara Donald ended up. (I'm guessing Zarak is Sonny's son, is my point.) And it's intriguing that Charles Moffett's son is the bassist on that same album.
	🥁 11:42am DJpeterDE: @Mark R FWIW the sound quality on the Resonance issue is much improved over all those LP issues of Iron Man etc.
	🥁 11:43am DJpeterDE: Also I'll say this: the photos etc. in Resonance releases are tops. (The writing is often disappointing, although this release has good essay if I recall.)
	11:44am Jeff Golick: Zarak is indeed the son of Sonny Simmons and Barbara Donald.
	🥁 11:45am WR: Good points DJpeterDE.
	🥁 11:45am hyde: i just precariously stacked so many dishes in the dish strainer that i'm worried one of these high notes is gonna send it all tumbling
	11:48am fred: @hyde: destination may be out, but make sure your dishes are not going down. Word to the wise
	🥁 11:48am Listener Gregory: @DJpeterDE, I have to say that I am very tired of reissues with all the new essays and 87 new photos never before seen! The 2 or 3 discs now take up 4 inches of precious storage spacee. I would be interested in Dolphy photos, I guess, but for most of these sets, I just look at them once, and it's only the CDs that have continuing value to me.
	🥁 11:48am DJpeterDE: Barbara Donald is my go-to "blindfold test" trumpeter if you want to blow someone's mind.
	11:49am Stork: Beautiful show, Jeff.
	🥁 11:49am DJpeterDE: @LG I hear you. Some of the Resonance issues are not standard shelf size, either. Annoying!
	🥁 11:50am doctorjazz: Looked at the Resonance Matador (of course), same issue as Mark R, beliefs I have 2/3 of it, can I justify spending for the last third?
	11:50am Stork: The Stork Club opens the spigots - -er, doors in about 10. Here's the door: wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:51am Listener Gregory: Completely irrelevant: While moving some LPs, I discovered I own the Atlantic record "Do the Twist with Ray Charles," complete with illustrations of foot and hand positions so that you can master this very difficult dance. Will have to try.
	🥁 11:52am doctorjazz: Too much RIP...
	🥁 11:53am DJpeterDE: @doctorjazz FYI 2 dolphy alto sax solos (love me), a couple duets with Richard Davis, and then the ensemble recordings. i dig it, your mileage may vary.
	11:53am fred: @Listener Gregory: Please try before posting, that way we'll know it can be survived
	11:54am Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music this morning, Jeff.
	🥁 11:54am Listener Gregory: @fred, if you don't hear from me... DEXTER!!!
	11:55am Stork: SEXTER IS MORE LIKE IT!
	🥁 11:55am doctorjazz: Almost noon, wow, went fast, thanks, Jeff!
	🥁 11:56am DJpeterDE: I love Dexter's ballads. So "muscular" and tender at the same time
	11:56am TDK60: Thanks, Jeff.
	11:56am spodiodi: thanks, Jeff!
	11:56am Jeff Golick: Thanks, everyone, for being here with me! Loved it.
	11:57am Mark R: Wow, this Dexter track is sure a lovely closer. Thanks for the usual wonderful show, Jeff. Heard a lot of old music that was new to me!
	11:58am Jeff Golick: Dexter Gordon Sonny Clark Butch Warren Billy Higgins American Geniuses.
	🥁 11:58am doctorjazz: Outing with some real, live people in a short while, crazy!
	🥁 11:59am Listener Gregory: Jeff, you did your damnedest. That is all any devil can ask. Thanks.
	🥁 11:59am hyde: thanks!
	11:59am coelacanth∅: Thanks Jeff! rest in peace Sonny Simmons.
	🥁 11:59am Listener Gregory: @doctordad, real people?? For God's sake be careful!
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Jeff!
	🥁 12:00pm doctorjazz: Masked, distanced, yada yada yada...
	🥁 12:01pm chresti: Thanks Jeff!
	🥁 12:27pm WR: thank you Jeff!
