Listener comments!
	🕰 6:49pm Listener Gregory: Waiting at crowded restaurant for my takeout, so no laughing or clocks until I get home. But will have review of the concert I just left.
	🕰 7:00pm Jeff Golick: ...cutting into Ornette, not so easy...
	7:02pm neveract: Hi DJ Peter, Gregory, and Jeff
	🕰 7:03pm Jeff Golick: ::waves::
	7:05pm doctorjazz: Quick check in, but can't stay long, likely catch up in the archive. Hi DJ PEter, Clock Faces!
	7:05pm DJ Peter: Hey Jeff G., neveract, and Listener Grebgory! Looking forward to the concert review.
	7:06pm neveract: Hi doc.. bye doc!
	7:07pm DJ Peter: Hey Doc, always nice to hear from you even when it's just to say Hello I Must Be Going!
	🕰 7:10pm Listener Gregory: Made it!
	🕰 7:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 @doctorj is handing me the baton.
	7:12pm DJ Peter: We'll also like a take-out review. When you've had time to sample.
	🕰 7:15pm WR: ↳ Song: "Better Together" by "Timo Lassy Trio" Hi Peter and folks. Yeah, and the band played on...
	7:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:15 Ouch. And Yeah.
	🕰 7:23pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Lost in Redding" by "Gordon Grdina" Very strange that three guitar-based solo records featuring Tim Berne's music came out in close proximity (Gregg Belisle-Chi and Marc Ducret being the others).
	7:23pm adamdoesit: Hello DJ Peter and clock klatch.
	7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:23 Yeah, and they all have different "origin stories"
	7:24pm DJ Peter: Klock Clatch! Dig it, adam!
	🕰 7:25pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 Keepin' Steve Byram happy...
	7:28pm neveract: Hi WR & adam
	🕰 7:28pm Listener Gregory: So, the concert I came from was Makaya McCraven's former trio (Junius Paul, bass, Marquis Hill, trumpet) with the addition of Brandee Younger on harp. Great musicians, interesting compositions. I was surprised at how mellow the tone was. Hill's trumpet comes more from the Ron Miles school, and a couple of the ballads could be played on a smooth jazz stations. That's not to say the music was simplistic, but it was certainly easily enjoyable by all. Makaya's drumming is very busy, with a sound I associate with drum 'n' bass. A couple of songs had time signature changes that everyone navigated perfectly.
	7:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Awesome! Did you detect any of that looping/riffing thing?
	7:30pm adamdoesit: Hey neveract! LG, that sounds great to me. I love Ron Miles and mellow tones. Thanks for the gig report.
	🕰 7:31pm Listener Gregory: The high point was a long Younger introduction on harp that eventually resolved into Journey in Satchidananda. It was great to see the old folks rocking out to Alice Coltrane. Then after a drum break THAT resolved to Younger playing and soloing on Lonnie's Lament. It was really awesome, and the audience went wild. It's hard for me to imagine the group without Younger; she played so beautifully throughout.
	🕰 7:32pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Nice sounding concert. Today I went grocery shopping and after a late lunch I took a nap.
	🕰 7:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:29 There was one vocal sample, but it was really something that went on top of the music. Everyone had some reverb, but otherwise no electronics in this gig that I noticed. Oh, Hill played through electronics in the final 30 seconds of the concert, which was a bit strange (the timing).
	🕰 7:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @7:32 That's my usual Sunday.
	7:35pm neveract: prob too lowbrow for here but Stan Kenton's birthday is tomorrow.
	🕰 7:38pm WR: ↳ neveract @7:35 Plenty respect here for Kenton & the many who participated in his bands but limited enthusiasm.
	7:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ neveract @7:35 I'm not a Kenton hater. I'm a Kenton love-hater! Put it this way... Kenton might maybe appear on my marathon premium...
	🕰 7:44pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:38 "Jazz We Hate to Love"?
	7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:44 so true! although i'm trying to get past the "guilty pleasures" idea. You like it -- don't feel guilty!
	7:47pm DJ Peter: I guess really the point is: I profess to have certain tastes and you can't reconcile some of your loves with what you claim to like. Embrace the contradiction!
	🕰 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:45 I was raised Catholic, so guilt accompanies every pleasure. Indeed, why am I listening to this show when I should be listening to Gregorian chants??
	7:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:47 Oh that's true! Guilt can heighten the pleasure. (I'm so bad!)
	7:49pm adamdoesit: My primary association to Stan Kenton is that the English teacher in "The Blackboard Jungle" (1955) is a fan of "Stan the Man!"
	7:50pm DJ Peter: Ouch. Hollywood thought it could express out-of-touchness with youth by making him a Kenton fan. Yikes.
	🕰 7:52pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Campo" by "Joseph Holbrooke Trio" So there is no Holbrooke in the Joseph Holbrooke trio?
	7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:52 nope... hang on i'll look for the cd booklet with the explanation
	🕰 7:56pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:52 Holbrooke was an English composer of the very early 20th century, I think. I've been looking for that release!
	🕰 7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:56 Have you heard of him (Holbrooke) outside of this group? Interesting choice for a name.
	🕰 7:59pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:57 Nope, that group is my only context for Holbrooke.
	7:59pm DJ Peter: I can't find a specific reference to why they named the trio for JH. But Bryars is of course a composer too.
	8:00pm adamdoesit: Holbrooke (composer) sounds like quite a character. Per wikipedia, he'd scold audiences in the concert programs, e.g., "Mr. JOSEF HOLBROOKE steps forward somewhat adventurously with his 12th year of endeavour for some Modern English Music to an apathetic public, and hopes to receive as few blows as possible (with the usual financial loss) in return."
	8:01pm DJ Peter: Bryars refers to a chapter in Derek Bailey's book "Improvisation." But I'm not sure if that book explains the inspiration. That said, not being aware of Bailey's book I'm now going to try to track it down
	🕰 8:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 You know this job is unpaid, right? Don't go overboard.
	8:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and people, i really liked that holbrooke trio cd when i had it, missed it, drat
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Peter and all
	8:05pm adamdoesit: Bailey, Bryars, and Oxley are all English. Holbrooke agitated relentlessly for Modern English Music. Which is what they make. Is that it?
	8:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 bailey's tv series on the book is on youtube
	🕰 8:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Medi I" by "Mary Lou Williams" Why on earth would North Korea want an avant-garde composer???
	8:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:07 to cross the dmz...?
	8:09pm tom tom the pipers son: was inverting chicken cross the road joke...;)
	8:10pm DJ Peter: I'm not crazy: I'll start with interlibrary loan!
	8:11pm DJ Peter: Welcome in, tom tom, coelacanthø !
	8:11pm DJ Peter: Welcome "out"?
	🕰 8:12pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:09 Why did Isang Yun cross the DMZ? To catch the chicken. The joke is in there... somewhere.
	8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:12 let's keep workshopping.
	8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:12 glad you see it too
	8:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:13 Ok, so: at a university concert hall somewhere in the decadent west, a North Korean spy hears the most awful sound he has ever heard. Dutifully, he reports back to his handlers, who run it up the chain of command. Soon, the order is given, from the very top: kidnap the creator of this sonic superweapon, so it can be turned back against the human scum who fostered it!
	8:18pm tom tom the pipers son: in tv series bailey covers down and out chicago blues and then segues to george lewis working with computer programs to slap away and stereotypes about black artists
	🕰 8:19pm WR: Just dropped to the stream? No? CCD are on the playlist. Tricky Peter.
	8:19pm tom tom the pipers son: any stereotypes
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:19 This is more what you were expecting
	8:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:17 That's a great image. "Can you believe the decadent west listens to this stuff!" Uh, but the Marxists like serialism... "The Marxists are wrong!"
	🕰 8:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 I think WR was noticing an odd anomaly: the image & artist info accompanying "So Sweet" on the playlist here did not match the group/image that appeared in the pop-up player.
	🕰 8:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:22 Oh wait - scratch that! My playlist is simply loading very slowly!
	🕰 8:23pm WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:22 Nope, was listening not watching. That one is for you, Jeff.
	8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:22 I'm using the popup player on one computer... and it doesn't update the same way as the phone app or the website
	8:23pm Listener Gregory: Peter’s radio nickname will now be Sweetness. Just like Walter Payton, but without his explosive power.
	🕰 8:24pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sweet Substitute" by "Jelly Roll Morton" Can it be true that I've not known about this 1940 JRM session ever since 1940? What tha?
	🕰 8:24pm Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @8:23 Yup. Ok, I'm going back to quietly lurking now.
	8:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:21 lolol. Naturally, the avant garde composer vibes with NK folk musicians he meets during his involuntary stay, and returns to his musical roots.
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: Patsy is total Valentine’s Day music. Not to diminish Matt Shipp in any way.
	🕰 8:32pm WR: Gotta watch out for those zany math teachers.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: Wow, that is a teenage horror story!
	8:38pm Listener Gregory: The melody of Dahlka is reminiscent of a Monk song… Off Minor???
	8:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:38 i hear that...
	🕰 8:39pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sweet Substitute" by "Jelly Roll Morton" Do you have all three volumes of the Mosaic Commodore comps? I've sworn off on buying vinyl, but but but....
	8:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:39 I do! Didn't buy them new. Can be found for reasonable prices... reasonable when you consider the tonnage
	8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:38 Plus a hint of "Thelonious"
	8:44pm Listener Gregory: I just checked and it isn’t Off Minor. I think you’re right about Thelonious.
	8:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:42 yes that's what i was just trying to figure out that .... dut- dut - dut dut -da da
	8:51pm tom tom the pipers son: actually ....dut-dut- dut dut -da-da da ...;)
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:51 Yes i think that's more spherical
	8:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 ...;)
	🕰 8:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "Hopscotch" by "Riley Mulherkar" Like this new to me Riley Mulkerkar, thank you.
	8:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "I Wonder if It Remembers Me" by "Amanda Gardier" I think the title refers to the jaguar shark in "The Life Aquatic."
	🕰 8:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "I Wonder if It Remembers Me" by "Amanda Gardier" this too.
	8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:54 Johnny, let's show adamdoesit what he's won!
	8:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Wonder if It Remembers Me" by "Amanda Gardier" i think this is too good for wes anderson...not twee at all
	8:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:54 "A one-way ride on a broken-down helicopter with a three-legged dog!" Thank you, DJ Peter.
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: oh gee, thanks peter...
	8:56pm neveract: Thanks DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:58pm WR: So soon? Many thanks DJ Peter.
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Great show, Sweetness! Thanks a lot. BTW, I have my eye on a great clock photo, but the light was all wrong, so I have to wait until the shadows are gone. You’ll see.
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody! Sorry tom tom!
	9:24am doctorjazz: Football may be over, but the Monday Morning Quarterback is still here... Loved the "Sweet" Set-Schipp, Jelly Roll, Cline, and the rest was great! (If I were there in real time, wiudda had to comment on Henry Red Allen's solo on the Morton, which is killer). One of these days have to figure out a good way to digitize vinyl (though I don't think I'll live long enough to do it all). I have that Commodore/Mosiac set; haven't pulled it in some time, but some fine stuff on there. And getting that other King Porter/JElly Roll was a treat-not familiar to me, was nicely done. (puppy sitting, listening on laptop-Oyoot Laila jumped and stared at the laptop when Billy Bang came on). OK, gone on too long, Thanks DJ Peter! Happy President's Day!
	1:03pm doctorjazz: Last licks: I was listening on my MacBook this morningh with the puppy mext to me. She was laying quietly next to me when the Billy Bang came on; her ears stood straight up, and she got up and started licking my laptop (not sure if it was a positive or negative reaction, I'll consider it positive). (lastly: I sent Bob Brainen some Buell Neidlinger albums, a set of bluegrass players playing mostly jazz, the second a string ensemble playing Herbie Nichols music-any interest?)

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 18, 2024

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.

Per wikipedia, he'd scold audiences in the concert programs, e.g., "Mr. JOSEF HOLBROOKE steps forward somewhat adventurously with his 12th year of endeavour for some Modern English Music to an apathetic public, and hopes to receive as few blows as possible (with the usual financial loss) in return."
	8:01pm DJ Peter: Bryars refers to a chapter in Derek Bailey's book "Improvisation." But I'm not sure if that book explains the inspiration. That said, not being aware of Bailey's book I'm now going to try to track it down
	🕰 8:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 You know this job is unpaid, right? Don't go overboard.
	8:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and people, i really liked that holbrooke trio cd when i had it, missed it, drat
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Peter and all
	8:05pm adamdoesit: Bailey, Bryars, and Oxley are all English. Holbrooke agitated relentlessly for Modern English Music. Which is what they make. Is that it?
	8:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 bailey's tv series on the book is on youtube
	🕰 8:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Medi I" by "Mary Lou Williams" Why on earth would North Korea want an avant-garde composer???
	8:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:07 to cross the dmz...?
	8:09pm tom tom the pipers son: was inverting chicken cross the road joke...;)
	8:10pm DJ Peter: I'm not crazy: I'll start with interlibrary loan!
	8:11pm DJ Peter: Welcome in, tom tom, coelacanthø !
	8:11pm DJ Peter: Welcome "out"?
	🕰 8:12pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:09 Why did Isang Yun cross the DMZ? To catch the chicken. The joke is in there... somewhere.
	8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:12 let's keep workshopping.
	8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:12 glad you see it too
	8:17pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:13 Ok, so: at a university concert hall somewhere in the decadent west, a North Korean spy hears the most awful sound he has ever heard. Dutifully, he reports back to his handlers, who run it up the chain of command. Soon, the order is given, from the very top: kidnap the creator of this sonic superweapon, so it can be turned back against the human scum who fostered it!
	8:18pm tom tom the pipers son: in tv series bailey covers down and out chicago blues and then segues to george lewis working with computer programs to slap away and stereotypes about black artists
	🕰 8:19pm WR: Just dropped to the stream? No? CCD are on the playlist. Tricky Peter.
	8:19pm tom tom the pipers son: any stereotypes
	8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:19 This is more what you were expecting
	8:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:17 That's a great image. "Can you believe the decadent west listens to this stuff!" Uh, but the Marxists like serialism... "The Marxists are wrong!"
	🕰 8:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @8:20 I think WR was noticing an odd anomaly: the image & artist info accompanying "So Sweet" on the playlist here did not match the group/image that appeared in the pop-up player.
	🕰 8:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:22 Oh wait - scratch that! My playlist is simply loading very slowly!
	🕰 8:23pm WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:22 Nope, was listening not watching. That one is for you, Jeff.
	8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @8:22 I'm using the popup player on one computer... and it doesn't update the same way as the phone app or the website
	8:23pm Listener Gregory: Peter’s radio nickname will now be Sweetness. Just like Walter Payton, but without his explosive power.
	🕰 8:24pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sweet Substitute" by "Jelly Roll Morton" Can it be true that I've not known about this 1940 JRM session ever since 1940? What tha?
	🕰 8:24pm Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @8:23 Yup. Ok, I'm going back to quietly lurking now.
	8:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:21 lolol. Naturally, the avant garde composer vibes with NK folk musicians he meets during his involuntary stay, and returns to his musical roots.
	8:26pm Listener Gregory: Patsy is total Valentine’s Day music. Not to diminish Matt Shipp in any way.
	🕰 8:32pm WR: Gotta watch out for those zany math teachers.
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: Wow, that is a teenage horror story!
	8:38pm Listener Gregory: The melody of Dahlka is reminiscent of a Monk song… Off Minor???
	8:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:38 i hear that...
	🕰 8:39pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sweet Substitute" by "Jelly Roll Morton" Do you have all three volumes of the Mosaic Commodore comps? I've sworn off on buying vinyl, but but but....
	8:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:39 I do! Didn't buy them new. Can be found for reasonable prices... reasonable when you consider the tonnage
	8:42pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:38 Plus a hint of "Thelonious"
	8:44pm Listener Gregory: I just checked and it isn’t Off Minor. I think you’re right about Thelonious.
	8:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:42 yes that's what i was just trying to figure out that .... dut- dut - dut dut -da da
	8:51pm tom tom the pipers son: actually ....dut-dut- dut dut -da-da da ...;)
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:51 Yes i think that's more spherical
	8:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 ...;)
	🕰 8:53pm WR: ↳ Song: "Hopscotch" by "Riley Mulherkar" Like this new to me Riley Mulkerkar, thank you.
	8:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "I Wonder if It Remembers Me" by "Amanda Gardier" I think the title refers to the jaguar shark in "The Life Aquatic."
	🕰 8:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "I Wonder if It Remembers Me" by "Amanda Gardier" this too.
	8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:54 Johnny, let's show adamdoesit what he's won!
	8:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Wonder if It Remembers Me" by "Amanda Gardier" i think this is too good for wes anderson...not twee at all
	8:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:54 "A one-way ride on a broken-down helicopter with a three-legged dog!" Thank you, DJ Peter.
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: oh gee, thanks peter...
	8:56pm neveract: Thanks DJ Peter!
	🕰 8:58pm WR: So soon? Many thanks DJ Peter.
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Great show, Sweetness! Thanks a lot. BTW, I have my eye on a great clock photo, but the light was all wrong, so I have to wait until the shadows are gone. You’ll see.
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	9:01pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody! Sorry tom tom!
	9:24am doctorjazz: Football may be over, but the Monday Morning Quarterback is still here... Loved the "Sweet" Set-Schipp, Jelly Roll, Cline, and the rest was great! (If I were there in real time, wiudda had to comment on Henry Red Allen's solo on the Morton, which is killer). One of these days have to figure out a good way to digitize vinyl (though I don't think I'll live long enough to do it all). I have that Commodore/Mosiac set; haven't pulled it in some time, but some fine stuff on there. And getting that other King Porter/JElly Roll was a treat-not familiar to me, was nicely done. (puppy sitting, listening on laptop-Oyoot Laila jumped and stared at the laptop when Billy Bang came on). OK, gone on too long, Thanks DJ Peter! Happy President's Day!
	1:03pm doctorjazz: Last licks: I was listening on my MacBook this morningh with the puppy mext to me. She was laying quietly next to me when the Billy Bang came on; her ears stood straight up, and she got up and started licking my laptop (not sure if it was a positive or negative reaction, I'll consider it positive). (lastly: I sent Bob Brainen some Buell Neidlinger albums, a set of bluegrass players playing mostly jazz, the second a string ensemble playing Herbie Nichols music-any interest?)
