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.

but he'd occasionally mention how he's apprehensive about playing long tracks because he only has 2 hours. he'd talk about this extensively, and was extremely verbose in general; and repeated himself sometimes 3-4 times in the course of every mic break!
...couldn't help but think he had *plenty* of time to play long tracks!

(in fact sometimes makes me appreciate them more...like a single fine chocolate truffle over of a big russell stover bunny)

Cool show! (interesting that Dutch Radio broadcasts in English-did get to see Bennink a few times with Willem Breuker, he's a character).
I usually avoid RSD (hate the crowds, usually hours waiting to even get into the stores near me). Nice stuff available, though; the Tatum, Frisell, Waldron/Lacy, Sun Ra, Sanchez (surprised me a bit), Lateef jump out).
Thanks, Peter!
(I sent some Herbie Nichols, Love Gloom Cash Love, and versions of Nichols' music by Buell Neidlinger and Ben Allison, to a few DJs. Let me know if you'd like me to send them. Also have some live recordings that might be of interest).
Oh, and I vote for full pieces (if I'm still allowed to vote)
