	7:07pm Yvang: Hi observers!
	7:11pm Juli: :::::}
	7:12pm Juli: I can dig on sum of this::::}
	7:13pm doctorjazz: Hi. Piano reminds me of Don Pollen (just getting home, can't check)
	7:13pm Observations: ↳ doctorjazz @7:13 You are correct!
	7:14pm Juli: ↳ Song: "Rameverde" by "Naná Vasconcelos / Antonello Salis" Sum of this too..:::::
	7:15pm Juli: This is all great:::.
	7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:13 Don Pollen is the most beloved musician of bees. Hi, @doc and all Deevs!
	7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:18 Spell check mishap, what else is new. Do love Pullen, haven't heard that record. (BTW, got to last week's show in the archive, it was a great one indeed!)
	7:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:22 Was that the Paul Haines record? I wasn't tuned in then.
	7:33pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Roast" by "The Jazz Composer's Orchestra" www.discogs.com...
	7:36pm Juli: ↳ Song: "Seconds Away" by "Scientist" I enjoyed this one v much. & the name
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:18 The Haines record www.discogs.com...
	7:38pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Roast" by "The Jazz Composer's Orchestra" Hmm, this record had Archie Shepp, Steve Lacy, Roswell Rudd, Milford Graves, Paul Bley... kind of an amateur group?
	7:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:37 Don Pullen often played on Kip Hanrahan projects (the producer of this, and I believe the owner of American Clavé).
	7:50pm doctorjazz: Also a big Carla Bley fan!
	7:50pm Juli: Amazing show!
	7:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ups and Downs" by "Carla Bley" Don't know this album, cool live track!
	7:55pm doctorjazz: Will need to go in a bit, looks like this is another "must listen" show in the archives!
	7:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Glory Box" by "John Martyn" Not an expert on John Martyn (though I do have a bunch of cd's of his), but his voice sounds a bit frayed here...
	8:00pm nnaavvaall: Heavy. I haven't thought of the New Music Distribution Service in a long time. I was an important lifeline for both artists and collectors. And it ended sort of abruptly.
	8:01pm Observations: ↳ Juli @7:50 😎🙏❤️
	8:05pm doctorjazz: OK, just picked up the Ups and Downs Record. Love this The Carla Bley Audio as well, is it a releaed album? (I thought I knew/had most of them). Gotta run, very sorry to miss this in real time, thanks David! (looks like this show could cost me a few bucks, though...)
	8:06pm Observations: “Audio” was just a promo LP
	🥁 8:07pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Carla Bley Audio" by "Carla Bley" Never heard or knew this aspect of Carla. Fun.
	8:07pm nnaavvaall: So she's making up for the lack of humor and quirkiness on her new album with this promotional album.
	8:08pm nnaavvaall: ↳ WR @8:07 It was fun!
	8:13pm Observations: ↳ Song: "The Carla Bley Audio" by "Carla Bley" It's incorrectly labeled on Discogs: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 8:23pm WR: Shuffle off to Buffalo.
	8:23pm nnaavvaall: ↳ WR @8:23 I know she has fans in Buffalo.
	🥁 8:26pm WR: ↳ Observations @8:13 reasonably priced on discogs. tempted but would be happy with 27 minute version in digital.
	8:27pm nnaavvaall: ↳ Song: "Rawalpindi Blues + End Of Rawalpindi (OoD Edit)" ... Thanks David! I was hoping you would play this.
	8:27pm Observations: ↳ nnaavvaall @8:27 Stay tuned for a crazy live version too coming later
	8:28pm nnaavvaall: ↳ Observations @8:27 Aces!!
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rawalpindi Blues + End Of Rawalpindi (OoD Edit)" ... The McLaughlin solo was lively.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rawalpindi Blues + End Of Rawalpindi (OoD Edit)" ... Does the vocalist (Haines, I assume) sound to anyone else like Jack Bruce?
	8:32pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 It IS Jack Bruce
	🥁 8:34pm WR: Have not listened to this in decades. I remember listening to it a couple of times when it came out but that was so long ago it is like I'm hearing it for the first time.
	8:40pm nnaavvaall: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 is the bass Jack Bruce as well?
	8:41pm Observations: ↳ nnaavvaall @8:40 Bass – Charlie Haden, Jack Bruce, Richard Youngstein, Ron McClure
	8:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @8:32 Son of a gun!! Thx.
	8:43pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 Haines is a poet, I don’t think he sings
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Song For Chè" by "Charlie Haden" This is the song that got Haden arrested when he dedicated it to the revolutionaries of Portuguese colonies... while performing in Portugal. That showed some guts.
	🥁 8:45pm WR: ↳ WR @8:34 oops, meant to tag the EOTH Rawalpindi OoD edit track.
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:45 Performing with Ornette Coleman that time.
	9:01pm northguineahills: I was just reading the wire, dec 2018 issue, and david, you have your observations of deviance 15 chart alongside dan bodah's vocal fry 15 (and this was before you were wfmu-affiliated)
	9:03pm Listener Gregory: It seems that Paul Haines produced the Albert Ayler album Ghosts!
	9:07pm nnaavvaall: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:03 Yeah he recorded it I believe.
	9:19pm nnaavvaall: ↳ nnaavvaall @9:07 Nope I was mistaken. He recorded New York Eye and Ear Control.
	9:21pm nnaavvaall: I need to split but I am going to listen to this show on the archives. I wanted to listen to Carla Bley again, and I missed all the stuff at the beginning. Have a good eve David and thanks for putting this show together. Live, no less.
	9:28pm Erik (VT): Oh gosh , that Carla French soundtrack mortelle rondelle (sp?) is one of my faves !
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Boo To You Too" by "Carla Bley" I've definitely heard this song (but maybe not this performance?), so it must exist on one of her real albums.
	9:31pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:30 it's on this www.discogs.com...
	9:34pm doctorjazz: Looking at the playlist, will dig this show (maybe tomorrow...)
	9:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:31 Or is it www.discogs.com... ?
	9:36pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:34 Not sure! That LP is new to me. Looks cool! Check the video after my show, it's a live performance of some sort. Not just audio, but footage of the group.
	9:38pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:36 Oh, great! I will use my expert knowledge of what her musicians looked like to conclude that I have no idea who is playing it or when.
	9:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rawalpindi Blues" by "The Carla Bley Band" This is awfully good. Karin Krog is a great vocalist who never really got much attention in the US. She has a record with Dexter Gordon that is worth picking up if you come across it.
	9:53pm northguineahills: thanks, david, good show!
	9:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "A Tone Parallel To Harlem" by "Duke Ellington And... Thought I might be losing my mind until I saw that it was Ellington. Whew!
	🥁 9:54pm WR: Wonderful survey of C Bley, David, thank you very much. This one invites relistening.
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, David! Lots of deep cuts here, and very rewarding.
	9:59pm Erik (VT): ↳ Song: "Boo To You Too" by "Carla Bley" I still regret prematurely selling of that Nick Mason fictitious sports album! - my tastes was abt 2 or 3 years from sophisticating up to broader horizons. Oh well. Vinyl had some cool art work as well. And lyrical notes.
	10:01pm Observations: thanks!
	10:17pm Listener Gregory: David, I checked out the video of Boo to You Too, and it doesn't seem to match the personnel of either of the recordings we came up with. Vincent Chancey is playing french horn on the video, and there are two trombonists visible. Neither Nick Mason nor the Berlin Jazz Fest recording lists this. So, it might be a TV appearance.
	7:15pm Observations: ↳ Observations @8:13 Fixed it: www.discogs.com...
	3:12pm doctorjazz: Just did the archive catch up, great show (love Carla Bley-the live stuff was new to me) Thanks David!
