	12:01pm ike p: peace and hydration! i need to remember this is a marathon not a sprint :)
	♥ 12:01pm Doug Schulkind: Bestify!
	♥ 12:01pm Funky16Corners: Ike! Doug!
	12:02pm Moog1 Radio: In with the In Crowd!
	♥ 12:02pm Funky16Corners: Kurt!
	♥ 12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Awlright ! Thx for filling in - another chance to get Testify! into a timeslot for me...
	♥ 12:03pm Funky16Corners: hey Rev!
	♥ 12:07pm Funky16Corners: Double-nass attack! Ahmed-Abdul Malik and on this solo, the man who wrote this tune, Ben Tucker!
	♥ 12:08pm Funky16Corners: BASS, not "nass" WTF...
	♥ 12:10pm JR HTX: Hey Larry! will this be a 5 hour Testify show? hope so.
	♥ 12:11pm Funky16Corners: Dig the album cover: www.discogs.com...
	12:11pm ike p: hopefully this conveys - i love how the music youse play makes me rethink; i've always hated marimbas/xylophones/etc but damn that was just a beautiful and unexpected sound in coming home baby
	♥ 12:11pm Funky16Corners: JRHTX! Testify-ing all the way to 5:00PM!
	♥ 12:12pm Funky16Corners: @ikep - I am a vibes/flute NUT, so I hope that I play some stuff that might make someone who is vibes-hesitant to dig the sound.
	12:13pm Erica: Hi Larry. I didn't forget the 5 hour show. I'm just late for the chat 🤣.
	♥ 12:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	♥ 12:14pm JR HTX: Very cool! What a treat!
	12:14pm TDK60: Hi Larry! (I did get to see a few shows at the old Village Gate.) \| I'm sticking with Suriname.
	12:14pm Doug Schulkind: Herbie Mann's son Geoff (a drummer) played live on my show many years ago with the Eternal Buzz Brass Band. It was a killer set.
	♥ 12:14pm Funky16Corners: TDK60! I once got to play a show at the Village Gate! I got many hallowed ground vibes!
	♥ 12:15pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - What instrument did he play?
	♥ 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that Bass was the Nazz...
	♥ 12:17pm Funky16Corners: I should have played some Lord Buckley!
	♥ 12:17pm Funky16Corners: Or Todd Rundgren!
	12:18pm Doug Schulkind: Geoff Mann is a drummer.
	12:18pm TDK60: The more recent Le Poisson Rouge club takes up part of the Gate's old basement level. Don't think LPR has reopened yet.
	♥ 12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's a bad Who's On First type routine wants to develop in the brain but I'm totally repressing it, Mann...
	♥ 12:21pm Funky16Corners: It's Herbie Mann. Who? Herbie, man? Who? HERBIE, maaaaannnnn...
	♥ 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: However ironic the title 'Papa' might've been ...John Phillips did write a helluva one here...
	12:29pm TDK60: Yeah, I hear people diss Mann. But his '60s-'70s jazz-rock-soul stuff may have turned some rockers onto jazz back then. (Like the "Memphis Underground" LP, etc.)
	♥ 12:30pm Funky16Corners: This article gets right to the point: blurtonline.com...
	12:31pm TDK60: Larry, I've showed off before, telling woofmooers who I saw at the Village Gate. Not sure I should again.
	♥ 12:31pm Funky16Corners: Why's that? I'd love to hear the list.
	♥ 12:32pm Little Danny: Yeah, Larry! Don't forget to hydrate!
	♥ 12:33pm Little Danny: Love Herbie Mann.
	♥ 12:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny! Got my caffeine free diet Pepsi lined up!
	12:33pm Erica: Hi Danny.
	♥ 12:34pm Little Danny: Hi Erica!
	12:34pm TDK60: Because people gasp. Don't wanna cause any heart attacks. OK: The Byrds during their "5th Dimension" album tour, 1966, was the top one. I was absolutely stunned, still am.
	12:34pm Moog1 Radio: Herbie Mann "Today!" is sorely missing from my collection. Excellent cover and superb version of The Beatles The Night Before!
	♥ 12:35pm Little Danny: Dang, TDK, that's a good one alright.
	♥ 12:35pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - I don't have that one, either.
	♥ 12:35pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - Heavy, indeed!
	12:36pm TDK60: The rest: Bill Evans, Sonny Stitt, National Lampoon's play "Lemmings." Think that's it.
	♥ 12:36pm Little Danny: I honestly didn't even think of the Byrds as a live act outside out Los Angeles.
	♥ 12:37pm Funky16Corners: I wonder if they played that gig when they were in town to do the Ed Sullivan show?
	♥ 12:37pm Little Danny: *outside of
	12:40pm TDK60: One good live at the V.Gate LP is Hugh Masekela's album "The Americanization of Ooga Booga." A fine live set.
	12:41pm ike p: @all dumb question but i haven't been here quite a year - is it ok for anyone to talk about other shows during other shows or is it preferred that only the djs to the cross talk?
	♥ 12:42pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I have that album, I didn't realize it was recorded there
	12:43pm Marie: Lovely tunes! Thanks, Larry @)
	12:43pm zivilars: It's Testify Time! Thanks for your show, Larry!
	♥ 12:44pm Funky16Corners: Hi Marie!
	♥ 12:44pm Funky16Corners: Zivilars! Thanks for listening!
	♥ 12:45pm Funky16Corners: @ike - I think any pertinent/civil conversation is cool.
	12:50pm zivilars: this goes right into the tappin' feet
	12:50pm ike p: @larry thanks! i'd never heard of herbie mann before so i checked the archives to see who else had played 'em recently, i was surprised to see dj ursula 1000 played the sidewinder on his show sounds spectacular, which in my experience has been more a dance/disco genre type show - clearly i need to keep expanding my definitions :)
	♥ 12:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm trying to remember if I played this on my all-The Beat Goes On show...
	♥ 12:52pm Funky16Corners: @ike - I can't remember if it came out on a 45, but I could see an open minded soul/mod DJ playing that for the dance floor
	12:52pm Marie: Yea haw!!!!
	12:52pm ike p: my jazz baggpipe cherry is now broken, and my jaw is on the ground
	12:52pm Hubig Pie: Did that Beat Goes On show include Giant Sand's cover ?
	12:53pm ike p: i want to see the renn faire group that whips out flute bag
	♥ 12:53pm Brian in UK: Larry, anyone who makes the flute cool has got it right.
	♥ 12:54pm Funky16Corners: @Hubigpie - I did, and I also played Herbie: wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:54pm Funky16Corners: @ike - I'll have to dig out some more Rufus Harley
	♥ 12:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	♥ 12:56pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I did an all-flute thing back in 2019: wfmu.org...
	12:57pm Hubig Pie: Looks like a fun show, I'm a sucker for covers
	♥ 12:57pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - This track features Chick Ganimian, of Ganimian's Orientals
	12:59pm TDK60: This Dervishes LP was recorded live at the Village Theater, which became the Fillmore East.
	♥ 12:59pm Funky16Corners: i think Frank Zappa and the others had a long residence at the Village Theater at some point
	♥ 1:00pm Funky16Corners: Mothers, not others
	1:00pm ike p: @larry is this a pippa in in the medina?
	♥ 1:00pm Funky16Corners: A what now?
	1:00pm ike p: guessing at the name, chinese lute?
	1:01pm Marie: This album is so great (I never heard it before)
	♥ 1:01pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry, I knew Ganimian did some jazz sessions on the margins, makes sense that he was in Mann's orbit.
	♥ 1:01pm Funky16Corners: @ike - It's an oud
	♥ 1:01pm Funky16Corners: @Marie - Yes, very cool jazz/Arab fusion
	1:02pm ike p: oh - not even close, but just as blown away. i had no idea of the "multiculturism"? that jazz incorporated - this is definitely a mind expander
	1:02pm TDK60: Funky, I don't know. Frank & Mothers, in summer '67, had a long residence at the Garrick Theater on Bleecker, which was run by the Cafe Au Go Go and adjacent.
	♥ 1:03pm Little Danny: Mann's Impressions of the Middle East LP is an East-West jazz standout, too.
	♥ 1:05pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I think that was it.
	1:08pm zivilars: what a great version of this song
	1:09pm TDK60: This is a great set for this steamy summer day in NYC, Larry. Groovy.
	♥ 1:09pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed! Roy Ayers tearing it up!
	♥ 1:09pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - Glad you're digging it!
	1:12pm TDK60: Cool how Herbie picked up on the jazziness of that Donovan tune.
	♥ 1:12pm Little Danny: Beautiful. Love how airy this is.
	1:12pm TDK60: And, from wherever Mann was gigging in the Village some nights, he could walk a few steps and see Tim Hardin playing.
	♥ 1:12pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - There's a great clip out there somewhere (I think from the Andy Williams Show) of Donovan playing it with Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66
	♥ 1:13pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Yeah, they kind of take it to a different place
	♥ 1:14pm Handy Haversack: Been listening to this extravaganza in the car and out on the stoop. Extravanganzic! Hey, Larry and all!
	♥ 1:15pm Little Danny: Yeah Ayers's delicate comping on the vibraphone really makes everything floaty!
	♥ 1:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Handy!
	1:15pm Erica: The flute in this version of if I were a carpenter is crazy.
	1:16pm Marie: Thanks for this soul bath of Herbie Mann and compadres
	♥ 1:20pm Brian in UK: Watched Jazz on a Summers Day a year or two back. The pacing is just right in a jazz style.
	♥ 1:22pm Brian in UK: There has been a quantity of Donovan played recently here. Must be the Summer sounds.
	1:23pm TDK60: Hiya Brian in UK. You mean the Drummer corridor, by here?
	♥ 1:23pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My summer rituals are to re-watch Jazz On a Summer's Day, and the to re-read Dandelion Wine, and I have et to do either this year. I must take care of that.
	1:24pm mauri: This a funky thang. Hi!
	♥ 1:24pm Funky16Corners: hey mauri!
	♥ 1:27pm Little Danny: Any idea of the guitarist here Larry? I've never heard/seen this version before.
	♥ 1:28pm Funky16Corners: I think it might be Sonny Sharrock.
	♥ 1:28pm dutchtheo: hey, Larry, testifiers and funky herbies!
	♥ 1:29pm Jeff Golick: Oh mann, I love this "Flying" -- such a vibe.
	1:29pm Moog1 Radio: The Lennon-McCartney-Harrison-Starkey song!!
	♥ 1:29pm Funky16Corners: Theo! Jeff!
	♥ 1:30pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - It seems to have been recorded outside of the Memphis Underground sessions
	♥ 1:30pm Funky16Corners: I'm pretty sure everyone involved with this session was 100% high.
	1:32pm Marie: I love this--so mysterious
	1:33pm Erica: Haha Larry.
	♥ 1:34pm Funky16Corners: This is such a great album. I can imagine a lot of rock fans digging this one when it came out.
	♥ 1:40pm Funky16Corners: This was the first release on Herbie's custom label, Embryo. Owned by him, distributed by Atlantic
	1:44pm TDK60: The Wikipedia page for this album doesn't mention the pianist. I recall seeing the album cover back then, but never heard it before.
	♥ 1:45pm Funky16Corners: I was just looking to see if I could find a credit. The pianist isn't listed anywhere. I wonder if it's the arranger, William Fischer?
	1:48pm TDK60: Gotta add this to my space age bachelor pad chill room late night stack.
	♥ 1:48pm doctorjazz: Hi just able to connect (Verizon problem), glad I could make it!
	♥ 1:49pm Funky16Corners: I found a forum where they suggest that it's Herbie Hancock, who isn't credited for contractual reasons
	♥ 1:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 1:53pm Funky16Corners: This album reminds me at times of In a Silent Way by Miles
	♥ 1:53pm dreamyandseedy: greetings! here for my jazz education
	♥ 1:53pm Jeff Golick: Miles vibes for sure.
	♥ 1:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey dreamy!
	♥ 1:57pm Jeff Golick: Only someone with a custom label could've released this with the cover photo it bears...
	♥ 1:58pm Funky16Corners: In which the hair from Herbie's head has migrated to his torso, glued there by a bucket of melted margarine.
	♥ 1:59pm Funky16Corners: Not to mention the picture of two people having sex inside the gatefold
	1:59pm Erica: Entering hour 3 already.
	♥ 2:01pm Funky16Corners: I'm still feeling fresh and ready for the next three hours!
	2:01pm TDK60: I think there may have been a lotta nudity and sex back then. So I heard.
	♥ 2:02pm Funky16Corners: Herbie appears to have arrived for the album cover shoot right after (or during) an orgy... www.discogs.com...
	2:03pm Erica: Dang Larry.
	♥ 2:04pm Funky16Corners: Indeed.
	♥ 2:04pm Funky16Corners: "Helloooooo ladies. I brought my...flute."
	♥ 2:05pm Jeff Golick: It's never not disquieting to see that.
	2:07pm Moog1 Radio: This one is on my list for the Chicago Record Show on Sunday! I will proudly hold it above my head in conquest if I locate it in the dollar bin!
	♥ 2:07pm Funky16Corners: Can you imagine the discussions? "Herbie...are you SURE??"
	2:07pm captain mike: Herbie does a great version of Walk on the Wild Side-Lou Reed’s rip off from the Funky Chicken by Willie Henderson
	♥ 2:08pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - It ought to be easy to find. It sold a ton of copies, in spite of the cover.
	2:08pm Marie: I always marvel at the sound of the harp.
	♥ 2:08pm Funky16Corners: @captain mike - I'll have to look or that.
	♥ 2:09pm Funky16Corners: @marie - It's always nice to hear it used in settings outside of classical music
	2:10pm captain mike: As Alfred E.Neuman used to say “It’s a Gas!”
	♥ 2:11pm WR: Hello Larry and testifying folks.
	♥ 2:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	2:12pm Erica: Hi WR. Welcome.
	♥ 2:15pm WR: Larry, I forgot about you doing double shift today. I've been trying to forget how I reviled Herbie Mann for "going commercial" back in the day. Mea culpa. Lack of perspective on my part. Plus so many great recordings by other artists were made on his sub labels or production deals.
	♥ 2:16pm Funky16Corners: He often pushed for deals for his sidemen, produced for them or had them on his own label
	♥ 2:17pm Funky16Corners: We're nearly done with the Herbie portion of the show.
	2:21pm Erica: Ah yes a Steely Dan cover.
	♥ 2:26pm Funky16Corners: Sorry about that....miscue
	♥ 2:27pm dreamyandseedy: aw, i was just getting into Herbie, that's what i get for arriving late. will catch up w/the archive later
	2:31pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm here... one of these days I'll remember that I am not on the east coast ;)
	2:32pm ?: Hi Larry. I've had my nose to the grindstone at work for the last couple of hours but my ears have been taking in the sweet sounds of Herbie Mann.
	♥ 2:33pm listener Rey: ? is me
	2:34pm Marie: I love that description of his body hair
	♥ 2:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent! Settling in to the new digs?
	♥ 2:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rey!
	2:39pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Kind of, Larry... I can't file my records yet because I broke a bunch of dowel pins on my shelves. I've got a pack of 50 coming in the mail, lord knows when they'll get here :(
	♥ 2:40pm Funky16Corners: Was it an Ikea shelf? I've had similar problems in the past.
	2:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yeah, Kallax.
	2:42pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I might be able to put one together, so I can get some boxes out of the guest room... I hope to be able to, be cause Leslie still has stuff to put away in there. The rest of the rooms are pretty well done though.
	♥ 2:44pm Funky16Corners: Cool! Is it super hot down there?
	2:49pm Vincent The Soul Chef: YES! Today wasn't so bad though...
	♥ 2:55pm Funky16Corners: It's been brutally humid up here, but I'm not going out much. Hiding inside with the a/c
	♥ 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...got my little brain distracted... listening on one level or the other !! ...this important profound polarizing deep roiling electric album BitchesBrew...
	♥ 2:57pm Funky16Corners: If you go to Wikipedia they break down who's playing in what channel. Three electric pianos, two drummers
	♥ 2:57pm Funky16Corners: Which reninds me, I have a 45 somewhere with Spanish Key and Miles Runs the Voodoo Down 45 edits. Very strange indeed.
	♥ 2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I imagine a lot o people were effected by this album like I was - starting with the Klarwien cover - which decades ago when young I found both fascinating & a little spooky... recorded I think days after Woodstock - roiling & strung out in its way...
	♥ 3:01pm Funky16Corners: I think it reveals its complexities the more closely you listen to it. I can imagine hippies dancing to parts of it, but then putting on headphones and having their head rattled a little but by how much is going on.
	3:01pm βrian: Miles, please save me from the Giant Man!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: The who now?
	♥ 3:02pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure! Two more hours to go!
	3:03pm βrian: Larry, is the Staminator!
	♥ 3:03pm Jeff Golick: dangerousminds.net...
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Mid-afternoon is the perfect time to do a five hour stretch. Any later and I might start fading.
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - "Please advise. Teo..."
	♥ 3:05pm Jeff Golick: One of my favorite memos.
	♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: I want to see the note he got back from the suits.
	♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Teo Macero was really like an uncredited member of the band, being largely responsible for the tape edits/manipulations.
	♥ 3:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that I think we've always heard ...but I don't know the 1s thing about the man ! Or - if I heard it, I forgot it...
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: I think there was a documentary about him some years back. He shows up in Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser kidding around with Monk.
	♥ 3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wigkey : en.wikipedia.org...
	3:11pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hi Larry and all. Now that I'm finished being castigated by Pseu, I'm here!
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	3:13pm Hubig Pie: Miles sounds a little tight at the end of Feio
	3:24pm Vincent The Soul Chef: TUNE!
	3:25pm Erica: Agreed Vincent. Wild tune!
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: That trombone player is the same guy from the Blues Brothers, Tom Malone.
	3:31pm TDK60: Never heard this Gil Evans LP before.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Great session
	♥ 3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Btw - heard about this Gil Evans doing Hendrix forever - but never actually herd it ! ! So Thx. It's worth it - but it's an empty spotlight up front of course... no way of knowing what they would've done in an actual collaboration...
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Might have been cool. I would have loved to see Gil, Miles and Jimi go into the studio together
	♥ 3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but mt impression is - it's better than what I've heard individuals say about it ! & I'm sadder than before about the lost opportunites...
	♥ 3:39pm dreamyandseedy: this is wild
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: If you're talking about this album, I think it's a very sympathetic/sympatico treatment of the material, that I imagine Jimi would have dug, in that it's not corny or overly academic. like Gil wasn't trying to straighten out/improve on the source material
	3:40pm TDK60: Yeah, I don't know music structure but he takes a what is it? oblique look at the tunes.
	♥ 3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn yes - Miles & Hendrix. Yeah I think Hendrix wanted to expand into somehting like this & would've been enthused.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: The "what ifs" of Hendrix are so filled with possibility. He clearly had big ideas, and liked to play in the studio and I can only imagine where he might have gone with a jazz arranger who understood his sound.
	3:43pm Erica: If only Hendrix was alive to hear Gil Evans' take on his music.
	3:44pm TDK60: It makes sense he did Up From The Skies, one of Jimi's jazzy-feel tunes.
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: Here's the whole line-up: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: After TheWho's 'Tommy' - & Prog like KingCrimson & everything else - I imagine Jimi doing something Narrative. Have read about a project he called 'Back Gold' about a black cat from outer space - but haven't heard any more about it !! Maybe because - more never happened...
	♥ 3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *BLack Gold. Having a typing impaired day...
	♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: He def had an interest in science fiction. Maybe he would have gone where no Hendrix had gone before? Or into Middle Earth?
	♥ 3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I don't see him lacking any abilities in Composing or Imagination.
	♥ 3:54pm dreamyandseedy: 1983 is one of my favorite jimi songs! really enjoying hearing Gil's take on this music
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1983 was already Orchestral & complex & modestly Narrative - Jimi & Eddie Kramer.
	♥ 3:55pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy. The last remnants of my working brain (after hours of web meetings) is now dedicated to listening to great music. The pressure's on, Larry!
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: This is such a great album, but I don't think it's currently in print
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Discothech Underground coming up after Testify! at 5:00PM! wfmu.org...
	4:01pm Erica: The final hour already?
	4:03pm TDK60: I felt Brew did catch a certain feel of the time, street life, night life, new encounters in social life, changes from the counterculture. Etc. Just an impression.
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I think you're right, sounding more like 1969/70 than a lot of the hippie stuff we're led to believe captured the zeitgeist, much like the sound of the Stooges did the same. The echoes of riots in the streets and burning cities
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: Speaking of pre-Herbie Roy Ayers, he's playing on this session
	4:06pm TDK60: That and the fun too. Lots of black and whites intermixing for the first time. Reminds me of some wild nights in the Village back then.
	♥ 4:07pm Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	♥ 4:07pm Discotech Underground: Good afternoon, Larry!
	♥ 4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have observed that the better Hendrix Covers are somewhat ironically not by Rawkers... Gil's another instance of this. Treated with simpatico I'd say - he gets it. Indeed Bitches Brew was recorded in the three days after Woodstock. & Woodstock is iconic of some halcyon epiphany - but I think if you watch it - it's muddy & string out & political... & I think Miles was always the Cool surface with the roiling undercurrent...
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kip!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Jack Wilson did some great albums in the mid-60s. I have one on Vault with Ayers, and they do Ornette Coleman covers on both albums
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: Ramblin' on the Vault LP and The Sphinx on this one
	♥ 4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Fun House by Stooges - & most of Free Jazz : some stuff just had to come out... I think if you take enuff acid, for example, that's one of the stations along the way that you reach...
	♥ 4:10pm Discotech Underground: I once heard "free jazz" described as "when John Coltrane stopped playing music"...a lot of people like it, though.
	♥ 4:11pm Discotech Underground: Dexter! Love this cut!
	♥ 4:12pm Little Danny: Those two Vault LPs are great! Wilson's later '70s album on Discovery is very good as well.
	♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: @Kip - I think there are a couple of different styles of free/out that tread the border between control and anarchy in different ways. Ornette Coleman's quartet and Archie Shepp and the NY Contemporary Five are records I love, but some of Trane's out stuff is too much for me
	♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: There's a great vocal version of this by Kurt Elling. I ought to dig out the CD and play it sometime
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'm not familiar with Wilson's later stuff. I should seek it out
	♥ 4:16pm Jeff Golick: The production on "Tanya" is kinda weird esp. for mid-60s Blue Note? Drums really forward, and Dexter sounds a bit far off.
	♥ 4:17pm Discotech Underground: @Larry-Many years ago I bought a record collection that had about thirty ESP/Disk titles by people I had never heard of. I went through and played many of them and they were just mostly noise. I can handle a little Cecil Taylor but only in small amounts.
	4:17pm TDK60: Have to run errands. I like the relaxed look into artists, DJ Larry. Dug the singers show on Jul.1, esp. Patrick Sky. Gracias..
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - This is the 1989 Blue Note CD reissue. Not sure if it differs from other pressings
	♥ 4:18pm Discotech Underground: Jeff Golick-I notice that also. It's like we are only getting one side of a stereo mix and the horns are all in the other channel with only a slight bleed over.
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Take it easy TDK60!
	♥ 4:19pm Jeff Golick: Yeah, exactly, Kip.
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - One other thing, this was recorded in Paris, not at Van Gelder's like so much of the Blue Note stuff from around the same time
	♥ 4:20pm Jeff Golick: That's probably the crucial detail, @Larry. Didn't know that. Is RVG even there?
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Not listed in the credits at all. I think Michael Cuscuna did the reissue
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: It's also Art Taylor, a pretty heavy drummer for such a mellow groove
	♥ 4:23pm Discotech Underground: It sounds like a mastering defect on the CD.Somehow one channel got lost in the mastering.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Sound OK in the headphones, and the stereo signal seems to be going out ok
	♥ 4:28pm Discotech Underground: Eh, who knows...I am enjoying it none the less!
	♥ 4:29pm Little Danny: Nice "All Blues" callback, Larry.
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	4:30pm ike p: @larry thank you for a beautiful show. peace to you and everyone here. until next time, no idea how verbose i'll be but i'm lurking somewhere virtually :)
	♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually - I thot I noticed that with John McLaughlin on - John McLaughlin too ...seemed a bit low in the mix on my headphones...
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Thanks ike!
	♥ 4:33pm Jeff Golick: Comment found under the RVG remaster of "One Flight Up" at Discogs: "This release (and a few others) made me think that RVG must have been a jerk when it came to working with master tapes from other engineers. Either that or he was given a very BAD 2nd copy master tape to work with?" (Sorry to geek out so extensively.)
	♥ 4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & Cannonball here sounds quite far off...
	♥ 4:34pm Jeff Golick: Adderley always had this quality on this recording.
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: @Rev - Not sure what's up. Cannonball is way up in the mix on my right side, and my phones are patched in with the signal that's going out. I'll relisten later on.
	♥ 4:35pm Discotech Underground: Yeah, I am noticing that also, Revolution Rabbit. Kinda faint like he's way away from the microphone.
	♥ 4:36pm Discotech Underground: Jeff Golick-That comment makes me want to seek out an original mono pressing of One Flight Up and see if there is any difference. The mono Blue Notes are quite desirable because they often sound worlds better than the stereos.
	♥ 4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One time Little Danny was having one channel (of Left - Right) going out on both channels... Wonder if this is something the DrummerStream is prone to... Don't think that's quite the case here but not sure... Bill Evans now is back there w/ Cannonball...
	♥ 4:38pm Jeff Golick: Yeah yeah, @DU. And some of those early CD transfers (c. mid-90s) were...not great.
	♥ 4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BlueNote Mono. Wow. & one associates BlueNote with a kind of Zen magic of simple recording being perfection...
	♥ 4:40pm Jeff Golick: Takes nothing away from the pleasure of listening to your show today, @Larry!
	♥ 4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - which should be said.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 4:44pm Discotech Underground: Be sure to stick around for the Discotech Underground "Birthday Bash" following Testify! Today is my birthday and I will be spending part of it cranking out the 60's and 70's jams next!! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: Happy Birthday Kip!
	♥ 4:45pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Larry! Can't think of a better way to spend a couple of hours of it than on the "radio!"
	4:48pm Erica: One more time...
	♥ 4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♋︎Cancerian Solar Return Kip ! www.facebook.com...
	4:49pm Vincent The Soul Chef: There's a name I haven't heard in years, Mocean Worker... well done, Larry ;)
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Vincent!
	4:50pm Erica: What is that sampled from? I heard it on a big band jazz song I don't know the name of as well as Gloria Estefan's version of Let it Snow from one of her Christmas albums.
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure, the samples aren't listed
	♥ 4:51pm Jeff Golick: Could be Duke Ellington... Happy birthday, Kip!
	4:52pm Erica: Wow! We did it! We made it through 5 hours.
	♥ 4:52pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Jeff!
	♥ 4:55pm WR: Thank you Larry, great episode. Will be listening from the beginning someday soon to return to the Herbie Mann tracks I missed.
	4:55pm Marie: Really enjoyed your show Larry (busy working). Thanks! I never heard all of Bitches Brew before--amazing.
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR! Marie!
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Duke & Basie did a tune together called One More Once - but I can't scan it now for Duke saying that... TY Larry ! ! Wonderful.
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Thanks for sticking around for the whole thing!
	♥ 4:56pm Alex In Illinois: Wow 5 hours!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Rev!
	♥ 4:56pm Alex In Illinois: Great show
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: @Alex - Only did this once before. Nice to stretch out every once in a while. Thanks!
	♥ 4:57pm Alex In Illinois: I would be noticeably fatigued after 5 hours
	4:57pm Erica: @Larry No problem.
	♥ 4:58pm Alex In Illinois: So treat yourself to some ice cream or Whiskey
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: @Alex, I am, somewhat, but this is fun
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Maybe both?
	4:59pm Erica: Have a great week guys!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: You too, Erica!
	5:00pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Hey from the road!

	♥ 12:03pm Funky16Corners: hey Rev!
	♥ 12:07pm Funky16Corners: Double-nass attack! Ahmed-Abdul Malik and on this solo, the man who wrote this tune, Ben Tucker!
	♥ 12:08pm Funky16Corners: BASS, not "nass" WTF...
	♥ 12:10pm JR HTX: Hey Larry! will this be a 5 hour Testify show? hope so.
	♥ 12:11pm Funky16Corners: Dig the album cover: www.discogs.com...
	12:11pm ike p: hopefully this conveys - i love how the music youse play makes me rethink; i've always hated marimbas/xylophones/etc but damn that was just a beautiful and unexpected sound in coming home baby
	♥ 12:11pm Funky16Corners: JRHTX! Testify-ing all the way to 5:00PM!
	♥ 12:12pm Funky16Corners: @ikep - I am a vibes/flute NUT, so I hope that I play some stuff that might make someone who is vibes-hesitant to dig the sound.
	12:13pm Erica: Hi Larry. I didn't forget the 5 hour show. I'm just late for the chat 🤣.
	♥ 12:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Erica!
	♥ 12:14pm JR HTX: Very cool! What a treat!
	12:14pm TDK60: Hi Larry! (I did get to see a few shows at the old Village Gate.) \| I'm sticking with Suriname.
	12:14pm Doug Schulkind: Herbie Mann's son Geoff (a drummer) played live on my show many years ago with the Eternal Buzz Brass Band. It was a killer set.
	♥ 12:14pm Funky16Corners: TDK60! I once got to play a show at the Village Gate! I got many hallowed ground vibes!
	♥ 12:15pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - What instrument did he play?
	♥ 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that Bass was the Nazz...
	♥ 12:17pm Funky16Corners: I should have played some Lord Buckley!
	♥ 12:17pm Funky16Corners: Or Todd Rundgren!
	12:18pm Doug Schulkind: Geoff Mann is a drummer.
	12:18pm TDK60: The more recent Le Poisson Rouge club takes up part of the Gate's old basement level. Don't think LPR has reopened yet.
	♥ 12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's a bad Who's On First type routine wants to develop in the brain but I'm totally repressing it, Mann...
	♥ 12:21pm Funky16Corners: It's Herbie Mann. Who? Herbie, man? Who? HERBIE, maaaaannnnn...
	♥ 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: However ironic the title 'Papa' might've been ...John Phillips did write a helluva one here...
	12:29pm TDK60: Yeah, I hear people diss Mann. But his '60s-'70s jazz-rock-soul stuff may have turned some rockers onto jazz back then. (Like the "Memphis Underground" LP, etc.)
	♥ 12:30pm Funky16Corners: This article gets right to the point: blurtonline.com...
	12:31pm TDK60: Larry, I've showed off before, telling woofmooers who I saw at the Village Gate. Not sure I should again.
	♥ 12:31pm Funky16Corners: Why's that? I'd love to hear the list.
	♥ 12:32pm Little Danny: Yeah, Larry! Don't forget to hydrate!
	♥ 12:33pm Little Danny: Love Herbie Mann.
	♥ 12:33pm Funky16Corners: Hey Danny! Got my caffeine free diet Pepsi lined up!
	12:33pm Erica: Hi Danny.
	♥ 12:34pm Little Danny: Hi Erica!
	12:34pm TDK60: Because people gasp. Don't wanna cause any heart attacks. OK: The Byrds during their "5th Dimension" album tour, 1966, was the top one. I was absolutely stunned, still am.
	12:34pm Moog1 Radio: Herbie Mann "Today!" is sorely missing from my collection. Excellent cover and superb version of The Beatles The Night Before!
	♥ 12:35pm Little Danny: Dang, TDK, that's a good one alright.
	♥ 12:35pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - I don't have that one, either.
	♥ 12:35pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - Heavy, indeed!
	12:36pm TDK60: The rest: Bill Evans, Sonny Stitt, National Lampoon's play "Lemmings." Think that's it.
	♥ 12:36pm Little Danny: I honestly didn't even think of the Byrds as a live act outside out Los Angeles.
	♥ 12:37pm Funky16Corners: I wonder if they played that gig when they were in town to do the Ed Sullivan show?
	♥ 12:37pm Little Danny: *outside of
	12:40pm TDK60: One good live at the V.Gate LP is Hugh Masekela's album "The Americanization of Ooga Booga." A fine live set.
	12:41pm ike p: @all dumb question but i haven't been here quite a year - is it ok for anyone to talk about other shows during other shows or is it preferred that only the djs to the cross talk?
	♥ 12:42pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I have that album, I didn't realize it was recorded there
	12:43pm Marie: Lovely tunes! Thanks, Larry @)
	12:43pm zivilars: It's Testify Time! Thanks for your show, Larry!
	♥ 12:44pm Funky16Corners: Hi Marie!
	♥ 12:44pm Funky16Corners: Zivilars! Thanks for listening!
	♥ 12:45pm Funky16Corners: @ike - I think any pertinent/civil conversation is cool.
	12:50pm zivilars: this goes right into the tappin' feet
	12:50pm ike p: @larry thanks! i'd never heard of herbie mann before so i checked the archives to see who else had played 'em recently, i was surprised to see dj ursula 1000 played the sidewinder on his show sounds spectacular, which in my experience has been more a dance/disco genre type show - clearly i need to keep expanding my definitions :)
	♥ 12:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm trying to remember if I played this on my all-The Beat Goes On show...
	♥ 12:52pm Funky16Corners: @ike - I can't remember if it came out on a 45, but I could see an open minded soul/mod DJ playing that for the dance floor
	12:52pm Marie: Yea haw!!!!
	12:52pm ike p: my jazz baggpipe cherry is now broken, and my jaw is on the ground
	12:52pm Hubig Pie: Did that Beat Goes On show include Giant Sand's cover ?
	12:53pm ike p: i want to see the renn faire group that whips out flute bag
	♥ 12:53pm Brian in UK: Larry, anyone who makes the flute cool has got it right.
	♥ 12:54pm Funky16Corners: @Hubigpie - I did, and I also played Herbie: wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:54pm Funky16Corners: @ike - I'll have to dig out some more Rufus Harley
	♥ 12:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	♥ 12:56pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I did an all-flute thing back in 2019: wfmu.org...
	12:57pm Hubig Pie: Looks like a fun show, I'm a sucker for covers
	♥ 12:57pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - This track features Chick Ganimian, of Ganimian's Orientals
	12:59pm TDK60: This Dervishes LP was recorded live at the Village Theater, which became the Fillmore East.
	♥ 12:59pm Funky16Corners: i think Frank Zappa and the others had a long residence at the Village Theater at some point
	♥ 1:00pm Funky16Corners: Mothers, not others
	1:00pm ike p: @larry is this a pippa in in the medina?
	♥ 1:00pm Funky16Corners: A what now?
	1:00pm ike p: guessing at the name, chinese lute?
	1:01pm Marie: This album is so great (I never heard it before)
	♥ 1:01pm Little Danny: Thanks Larry, I knew Ganimian did some jazz sessions on the margins, makes sense that he was in Mann's orbit.
	♥ 1:01pm Funky16Corners: @ike - It's an oud
	♥ 1:01pm Funky16Corners: @Marie - Yes, very cool jazz/Arab fusion
	1:02pm ike p: oh - not even close, but just as blown away. i had no idea of the "multiculturism"? that jazz incorporated - this is definitely a mind expander
	1:02pm TDK60: Funky, I don't know. Frank & Mothers, in summer '67, had a long residence at the Garrick Theater on Bleecker, which was run by the Cafe Au Go Go and adjacent.
	♥ 1:03pm Little Danny: Mann's Impressions of the Middle East LP is an East-West jazz standout, too.
	♥ 1:05pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I think that was it.
	1:08pm zivilars: what a great version of this song
	1:09pm TDK60: This is a great set for this steamy summer day in NYC, Larry. Groovy.
	♥ 1:09pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed! Roy Ayers tearing it up!
	♥ 1:09pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - Glad you're digging it!
	1:12pm TDK60: Cool how Herbie picked up on the jazziness of that Donovan tune.
	♥ 1:12pm Little Danny: Beautiful. Love how airy this is.
	1:12pm TDK60: And, from wherever Mann was gigging in the Village some nights, he could walk a few steps and see Tim Hardin playing.
	♥ 1:12pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - There's a great clip out there somewhere (I think from the Andy Williams Show) of Donovan playing it with Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66
	♥ 1:13pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Yeah, they kind of take it to a different place
	♥ 1:14pm Handy Haversack: Been listening to this extravaganza in the car and out on the stoop. Extravanganzic! Hey, Larry and all!
	♥ 1:15pm Little Danny: Yeah Ayers's delicate comping on the vibraphone really makes everything floaty!
	♥ 1:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Handy!
	1:15pm Erica: The flute in this version of if I were a carpenter is crazy.
	1:16pm Marie: Thanks for this soul bath of Herbie Mann and compadres
	♥ 1:20pm Brian in UK: Watched Jazz on a Summers Day a year or two back. The pacing is just right in a jazz style.
	♥ 1:22pm Brian in UK: There has been a quantity of Donovan played recently here. Must be the Summer sounds.
	1:23pm TDK60: Hiya Brian in UK. You mean the Drummer corridor, by here?
	♥ 1:23pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My summer rituals are to re-watch Jazz On a Summer's Day, and the to re-read Dandelion Wine, and I have et to do either this year. I must take care of that.
	1:24pm mauri: This a funky thang. Hi!
	♥ 1:24pm Funky16Corners: hey mauri!
	♥ 1:27pm Little Danny: Any idea of the guitarist here Larry? I've never heard/seen this version before.
	♥ 1:28pm Funky16Corners: I think it might be Sonny Sharrock.
	♥ 1:28pm dutchtheo: hey, Larry, testifiers and funky herbies!
	♥ 1:29pm Jeff Golick: Oh mann, I love this "Flying" -- such a vibe.
	1:29pm Moog1 Radio: The Lennon-McCartney-Harrison-Starkey song!!
	♥ 1:29pm Funky16Corners: Theo! Jeff!
	♥ 1:30pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - It seems to have been recorded outside of the Memphis Underground sessions
	♥ 1:30pm Funky16Corners: I'm pretty sure everyone involved with this session was 100% high.
	1:32pm Marie: I love this--so mysterious
	1:33pm Erica: Haha Larry.
	♥ 1:34pm Funky16Corners: This is such a great album. I can imagine a lot of rock fans digging this one when it came out.
	♥ 1:40pm Funky16Corners: This was the first release on Herbie's custom label, Embryo. Owned by him, distributed by Atlantic
	1:44pm TDK60: The Wikipedia page for this album doesn't mention the pianist. I recall seeing the album cover back then, but never heard it before.
	♥ 1:45pm Funky16Corners: I was just looking to see if I could find a credit. The pianist isn't listed anywhere. I wonder if it's the arranger, William Fischer?
	1:48pm TDK60: Gotta add this to my space age bachelor pad chill room late night stack.
	♥ 1:48pm doctorjazz: Hi just able to connect (Verizon problem), glad I could make it!
	♥ 1:49pm Funky16Corners: I found a forum where they suggest that it's Herbie Hancock, who isn't credited for contractual reasons
	♥ 1:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	♥ 1:53pm Funky16Corners: This album reminds me at times of In a Silent Way by Miles
	♥ 1:53pm dreamyandseedy: greetings! here for my jazz education
	♥ 1:53pm Jeff Golick: Miles vibes for sure.
	♥ 1:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey dreamy!
	♥ 1:57pm Jeff Golick: Only someone with a custom label could've released this with the cover photo it bears...
	♥ 1:58pm Funky16Corners: In which the hair from Herbie's head has migrated to his torso, glued there by a bucket of melted margarine.
	♥ 1:59pm Funky16Corners: Not to mention the picture of two people having sex inside the gatefold
	1:59pm Erica: Entering hour 3 already.
	♥ 2:01pm Funky16Corners: I'm still feeling fresh and ready for the next three hours!
	2:01pm TDK60: I think there may have been a lotta nudity and sex back then. So I heard.
	♥ 2:02pm Funky16Corners: Herbie appears to have arrived for the album cover shoot right after (or during) an orgy... www.discogs.com...
	2:03pm Erica: Dang Larry.
	♥ 2:04pm Funky16Corners: Indeed.
	♥ 2:04pm Funky16Corners: "Helloooooo ladies. I brought my...flute."
	♥ 2:05pm Jeff Golick: It's never not disquieting to see that.
	2:07pm Moog1 Radio: This one is on my list for the Chicago Record Show on Sunday! I will proudly hold it above my head in conquest if I locate it in the dollar bin!
	♥ 2:07pm Funky16Corners: Can you imagine the discussions? "Herbie...are you SURE??"
	2:07pm captain mike: Herbie does a great version of Walk on the Wild Side-Lou Reed’s rip off from the Funky Chicken by Willie Henderson
	♥ 2:08pm Funky16Corners: @Kurt - It ought to be easy to find. It sold a ton of copies, in spite of the cover.
	2:08pm Marie: I always marvel at the sound of the harp.
	♥ 2:08pm Funky16Corners: @captain mike - I'll have to look or that.
	♥ 2:09pm Funky16Corners: @marie - It's always nice to hear it used in settings outside of classical music
	2:10pm captain mike: As Alfred E.Neuman used to say “It’s a Gas!”
	♥ 2:11pm WR: Hello Larry and testifying folks.
	♥ 2:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	2:12pm Erica: Hi WR. Welcome.
	♥ 2:15pm WR: Larry, I forgot about you doing double shift today. I've been trying to forget how I reviled Herbie Mann for "going commercial" back in the day. Mea culpa. Lack of perspective on my part. Plus so many great recordings by other artists were made on his sub labels or production deals.
	♥ 2:16pm Funky16Corners: He often pushed for deals for his sidemen, produced for them or had them on his own label
	♥ 2:17pm Funky16Corners: We're nearly done with the Herbie portion of the show.
	2:21pm Erica: Ah yes a Steely Dan cover.
	♥ 2:26pm Funky16Corners: Sorry about that....miscue
	♥ 2:27pm dreamyandseedy: aw, i was just getting into Herbie, that's what i get for arriving late. will catch up w/the archive later
	2:31pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I'm here... one of these days I'll remember that I am not on the east coast ;)
	2:32pm ?: Hi Larry. I've had my nose to the grindstone at work for the last couple of hours but my ears have been taking in the sweet sounds of Herbie Mann.
	♥ 2:33pm listener Rey: ? is me
	2:34pm Marie: I love that description of his body hair
	♥ 2:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent! Settling in to the new digs?
	♥ 2:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey Rey!
	2:39pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Kind of, Larry... I can't file my records yet because I broke a bunch of dowel pins on my shelves. I've got a pack of 50 coming in the mail, lord knows when they'll get here :(
	♥ 2:40pm Funky16Corners: Was it an Ikea shelf? I've had similar problems in the past.
	2:41pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Yeah, Kallax.
	2:42pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I might be able to put one together, so I can get some boxes out of the guest room... I hope to be able to, be cause Leslie still has stuff to put away in there. The rest of the rooms are pretty well done though.
	♥ 2:44pm Funky16Corners: Cool! Is it super hot down there?
	2:49pm Vincent The Soul Chef: YES! Today wasn't so bad though...
	♥ 2:55pm Funky16Corners: It's been brutally humid up here, but I'm not going out much. Hiding inside with the a/c
	♥ 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...got my little brain distracted... listening on one level or the other !! ...this important profound polarizing deep roiling electric album BitchesBrew...
	♥ 2:57pm Funky16Corners: If you go to Wikipedia they break down who's playing in what channel. Three electric pianos, two drummers
	♥ 2:57pm Funky16Corners: Which reninds me, I have a 45 somewhere with Spanish Key and Miles Runs the Voodoo Down 45 edits. Very strange indeed.
	♥ 2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I imagine a lot o people were effected by this album like I was - starting with the Klarwien cover - which decades ago when young I found both fascinating & a little spooky... recorded I think days after Woodstock - roiling & strung out in its way...
	♥ 3:01pm Funky16Corners: I think it reveals its complexities the more closely you listen to it. I can imagine hippies dancing to parts of it, but then putting on headphones and having their head rattled a little but by how much is going on.
	3:01pm βrian: Miles, please save me from the Giant Man!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: The who now?
	♥ 3:02pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 3:02pm Funky16Corners: My pleasure! Two more hours to go!
	3:03pm βrian: Larry, is the Staminator!
	♥ 3:03pm Jeff Golick: dangerousminds.net...
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: Mid-afternoon is the perfect time to do a five hour stretch. Any later and I might start fading.
	♥ 3:04pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - "Please advise. Teo..."
	♥ 3:05pm Jeff Golick: One of my favorite memos.
	♥ 3:06pm Funky16Corners: I want to see the note he got back from the suits.
	♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Teo Macero was really like an uncredited member of the band, being largely responsible for the tape edits/manipulations.
	♥ 3:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...that I think we've always heard ...but I don't know the 1s thing about the man ! Or - if I heard it, I forgot it...
	♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: I think there was a documentary about him some years back. He shows up in Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser kidding around with Monk.
	♥ 3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wigkey : en.wikipedia.org...
	3:11pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hi Larry and all. Now that I'm finished being castigated by Pseu, I'm here!
	♥ 3:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin!
	3:13pm Hubig Pie: Miles sounds a little tight at the end of Feio
	3:24pm Vincent The Soul Chef: TUNE!
	3:25pm Erica: Agreed Vincent. Wild tune!
	♥ 3:28pm Funky16Corners: That trombone player is the same guy from the Blues Brothers, Tom Malone.
	3:31pm TDK60: Never heard this Gil Evans LP before.
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Great session
	♥ 3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Btw - heard about this Gil Evans doing Hendrix forever - but never actually herd it ! ! So Thx. It's worth it - but it's an empty spotlight up front of course... no way of knowing what they would've done in an actual collaboration...
	♥ 3:34pm Funky16Corners: Might have been cool. I would have loved to see Gil, Miles and Jimi go into the studio together
	♥ 3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but mt impression is - it's better than what I've heard individuals say about it ! & I'm sadder than before about the lost opportunites...
	♥ 3:39pm dreamyandseedy: this is wild
	♥ 3:39pm Funky16Corners: If you're talking about this album, I think it's a very sympathetic/sympatico treatment of the material, that I imagine Jimi would have dug, in that it's not corny or overly academic. like Gil wasn't trying to straighten out/improve on the source material
	3:40pm TDK60: Yeah, I don't know music structure but he takes a what is it? oblique look at the tunes.
	♥ 3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn yes - Miles & Hendrix. Yeah I think Hendrix wanted to expand into somehting like this & would've been enthused.
	♥ 3:43pm Funky16Corners: The "what ifs" of Hendrix are so filled with possibility. He clearly had big ideas, and liked to play in the studio and I can only imagine where he might have gone with a jazz arranger who understood his sound.
	3:43pm Erica: If only Hendrix was alive to hear Gil Evans' take on his music.
	3:44pm TDK60: It makes sense he did Up From The Skies, one of Jimi's jazzy-feel tunes.
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: Here's the whole line-up: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: After TheWho's 'Tommy' - & Prog like KingCrimson & everything else - I imagine Jimi doing something Narrative. Have read about a project he called 'Back Gold' about a black cat from outer space - but haven't heard any more about it !! Maybe because - more never happened...
	♥ 3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *BLack Gold. Having a typing impaired day...
	♥ 3:51pm Funky16Corners: He def had an interest in science fiction. Maybe he would have gone where no Hendrix had gone before? Or into Middle Earth?
	♥ 3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I don't see him lacking any abilities in Composing or Imagination.
	♥ 3:54pm dreamyandseedy: 1983 is one of my favorite jimi songs! really enjoying hearing Gil's take on this music
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1983 was already Orchestral & complex & modestly Narrative - Jimi & Eddie Kramer.
	♥ 3:55pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy. The last remnants of my working brain (after hours of web meetings) is now dedicated to listening to great music. The pressure's on, Larry!
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: This is such a great album, but I don't think it's currently in print
	♥ 3:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Discothech Underground coming up after Testify! at 5:00PM! wfmu.org...
	4:01pm Erica: The final hour already?
	4:03pm TDK60: I felt Brew did catch a certain feel of the time, street life, night life, new encounters in social life, changes from the counterculture. Etc. Just an impression.
	♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	♥ 4:05pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I think you're right, sounding more like 1969/70 than a lot of the hippie stuff we're led to believe captured the zeitgeist, much like the sound of the Stooges did the same. The echoes of riots in the streets and burning cities
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: Speaking of pre-Herbie Roy Ayers, he's playing on this session
	4:06pm TDK60: That and the fun too. Lots of black and whites intermixing for the first time. Reminds me of some wild nights in the Village back then.
	♥ 4:07pm Little Danny: Gorgeous.
	♥ 4:07pm Discotech Underground: Good afternoon, Larry!
	♥ 4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have observed that the better Hendrix Covers are somewhat ironically not by Rawkers... Gil's another instance of this. Treated with simpatico I'd say - he gets it. Indeed Bitches Brew was recorded in the three days after Woodstock. & Woodstock is iconic of some halcyon epiphany - but I think if you watch it - it's muddy & string out & political... & I think Miles was always the Cool surface with the roiling undercurrent...
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kip!
	♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - Jack Wilson did some great albums in the mid-60s. I have one on Vault with Ayers, and they do Ornette Coleman covers on both albums
	♥ 4:09pm Funky16Corners: Ramblin' on the Vault LP and The Sphinx on this one
	♥ 4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Fun House by Stooges - & most of Free Jazz : some stuff just had to come out... I think if you take enuff acid, for example, that's one of the stations along the way that you reach...
	♥ 4:10pm Discotech Underground: I once heard "free jazz" described as "when John Coltrane stopped playing music"...a lot of people like it, though.
	♥ 4:11pm Discotech Underground: Dexter! Love this cut!
	♥ 4:12pm Little Danny: Those two Vault LPs are great! Wilson's later '70s album on Discovery is very good as well.
	♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: @Kip - I think there are a couple of different styles of free/out that tread the border between control and anarchy in different ways. Ornette Coleman's quartet and Archie Shepp and the NY Contemporary Five are records I love, but some of Trane's out stuff is too much for me
	♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: There's a great vocal version of this by Kurt Elling. I ought to dig out the CD and play it sometime
	♥ 4:15pm Funky16Corners: @Danny - I'm not familiar with Wilson's later stuff. I should seek it out
	♥ 4:16pm Jeff Golick: The production on "Tanya" is kinda weird esp. for mid-60s Blue Note? Drums really forward, and Dexter sounds a bit far off.
	♥ 4:17pm Discotech Underground: @Larry-Many years ago I bought a record collection that had about thirty ESP/Disk titles by people I had never heard of. I went through and played many of them and they were just mostly noise. I can handle a little Cecil Taylor but only in small amounts.
	4:17pm TDK60: Have to run errands. I like the relaxed look into artists, DJ Larry. Dug the singers show on Jul.1, esp. Patrick Sky. Gracias..
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - This is the 1989 Blue Note CD reissue. Not sure if it differs from other pressings
	♥ 4:18pm Discotech Underground: Jeff Golick-I notice that also. It's like we are only getting one side of a stereo mix and the horns are all in the other channel with only a slight bleed over.
	♥ 4:18pm Funky16Corners: Take it easy TDK60!
	♥ 4:19pm Jeff Golick: Yeah, exactly, Kip.
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - One other thing, this was recorded in Paris, not at Van Gelder's like so much of the Blue Note stuff from around the same time
	♥ 4:20pm Jeff Golick: That's probably the crucial detail, @Larry. Didn't know that. Is RVG even there?
	♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Not listed in the credits at all. I think Michael Cuscuna did the reissue
	♥ 4:22pm Funky16Corners: It's also Art Taylor, a pretty heavy drummer for such a mellow groove
	♥ 4:23pm Discotech Underground: It sounds like a mastering defect on the CD.Somehow one channel got lost in the mastering.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Sound OK in the headphones, and the stereo signal seems to be going out ok
	♥ 4:28pm Discotech Underground: Eh, who knows...I am enjoying it none the less!
	♥ 4:29pm Little Danny: Nice "All Blues" callback, Larry.
	♥ 4:30pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Danny!
	4:30pm ike p: @larry thank you for a beautiful show. peace to you and everyone here. until next time, no idea how verbose i'll be but i'm lurking somewhere virtually :)
	♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually - I thot I noticed that with John McLaughlin on - John McLaughlin too ...seemed a bit low in the mix on my headphones...
	♥ 4:31pm Funky16Corners: Thanks ike!
	♥ 4:33pm Jeff Golick: Comment found under the RVG remaster of "One Flight Up" at Discogs: "This release (and a few others) made me think that RVG must have been a jerk when it came to working with master tapes from other engineers. Either that or he was given a very BAD 2nd copy master tape to work with?" (Sorry to geek out so extensively.)
	♥ 4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & Cannonball here sounds quite far off...
	♥ 4:34pm Jeff Golick: Adderley always had this quality on this recording.
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: @Rev - Not sure what's up. Cannonball is way up in the mix on my right side, and my phones are patched in with the signal that's going out. I'll relisten later on.
	♥ 4:35pm Discotech Underground: Yeah, I am noticing that also, Revolution Rabbit. Kinda faint like he's way away from the microphone.
	♥ 4:36pm Discotech Underground: Jeff Golick-That comment makes me want to seek out an original mono pressing of One Flight Up and see if there is any difference. The mono Blue Notes are quite desirable because they often sound worlds better than the stereos.
	♥ 4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One time Little Danny was having one channel (of Left - Right) going out on both channels... Wonder if this is something the DrummerStream is prone to... Don't think that's quite the case here but not sure... Bill Evans now is back there w/ Cannonball...
	♥ 4:38pm Jeff Golick: Yeah yeah, @DU. And some of those early CD transfers (c. mid-90s) were...not great.
	♥ 4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BlueNote Mono. Wow. & one associates BlueNote with a kind of Zen magic of simple recording being perfection...
	♥ 4:40pm Jeff Golick: Takes nothing away from the pleasure of listening to your show today, @Larry!
	♥ 4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - which should be said.
	♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 4:44pm Discotech Underground: Be sure to stick around for the Discotech Underground "Birthday Bash" following Testify! Today is my birthday and I will be spending part of it cranking out the 60's and 70's jams next!! wfmu.org...
	♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: Happy Birthday Kip!
	♥ 4:45pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Larry! Can't think of a better way to spend a couple of hours of it than on the "radio!"
	4:48pm Erica: One more time...
	♥ 4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♋︎Cancerian Solar Return Kip ! www.facebook.com...
	4:49pm Vincent The Soul Chef: There's a name I haven't heard in years, Mocean Worker... well done, Larry ;)
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Vincent!
	4:50pm Erica: What is that sampled from? I heard it on a big band jazz song I don't know the name of as well as Gloria Estefan's version of Let it Snow from one of her Christmas albums.
	♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: I'm not sure, the samples aren't listed
	♥ 4:51pm Jeff Golick: Could be Duke Ellington... Happy birthday, Kip!
	4:52pm Erica: Wow! We did it! We made it through 5 hours.
	♥ 4:52pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Jeff!
	♥ 4:55pm WR: Thank you Larry, great episode. Will be listening from the beginning someday soon to return to the Herbie Mann tracks I missed.
	4:55pm Marie: Really enjoyed your show Larry (busy working). Thanks! I never heard all of Bitches Brew before--amazing.
	♥ 4:55pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR! Marie!
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Duke & Basie did a tune together called One More Once - but I can't scan it now for Duke saying that... TY Larry ! ! Wonderful.
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Thanks for sticking around for the whole thing!
	♥ 4:56pm Alex In Illinois: Wow 5 hours!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Rev!
	♥ 4:56pm Alex In Illinois: Great show
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: @Alex - Only did this once before. Nice to stretch out every once in a while. Thanks!
	♥ 4:57pm Alex In Illinois: I would be noticeably fatigued after 5 hours
	4:57pm Erica: @Larry No problem.
	♥ 4:58pm Alex In Illinois: So treat yourself to some ice cream or Whiskey
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: @Alex, I am, somewhat, but this is fun
	♥ 4:58pm Funky16Corners: Maybe both?
	4:59pm Erica: Have a great week guys!
	♥ 4:59pm Funky16Corners: You too, Erica!
	5:00pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Hey from the road!
