View DJ Peter's profile |
Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

I once played a solo BE performance for a friend who was trying to explain pedaling to me, all the things you could do with the piano pedals, and he just fell silent.

Thank you DJ Peter! (will have to listen from the archive, tonight dinner conversation was very active so WFMU was turned down so low I couldn't properly follow the tunes.)
