WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from March 23, 2025

Listener comments!
	🕰 ♥ 9:05am DJ Peter: Spotlighting Hal McKusick and Bunky Green today: if you want to hear more Green, I featured him during both marathon shows (preceding this week) and if you skip around you avoid the soft sell (I didn’t rap over any Green tracks).
	5:44pm ChristinaInCanada: SEATTLE! Hello DJ Peter and fellow Clockwatchers
	🕰 ♥ 5:50pm DJ Peter: Hey ChristinaInCanada how are you today?
	5:53pm ChristinaInCanada: Thank you for asking. I am deliberating among clam chowder, lentl and vegetable stew, or chicken stew. I won a small amount in lotto, and am determined to do my taxes and cleaning to your setlisys. How are you?
	🕰 ♥ 5:55pm DJ Peter: If I weren't about to go the show, I would join you in starting on my taxes! I'm not sure when I'll get to them, but telling myself there's no reason so stress about that!
	🕰 ♥ 5:57pm doctorjazz: Hey DJ Peter and Clock-Punchers! Heard some live music this afternoon, Abraham Burton with a quartet of youngens. (Boy, I remember when Burton was a "Young Lion"). Was a fine set; he's really quite the saxaphonist (and, it was a short way from where I live in Centeral Joisey, in a library, free, with a parking lot no less! Nice set; maybe go hear Ben Goldberg at Dowtown Music Gallery this Tuesday night (not as easy, since it's in Manhattan, but free, if you don't count records I'm sure I'll purchase while I'm there).
	🕰 ♥ 5:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @5:55 Will there still be someone at the IRS to check on who did or didn't file taxes?
	♥ 6:02pm Michael 98145: Hellos, Friends
	6:03pm Barbaric Yawp: Mucho love to Laughing Clock! One of my fav shows! What an amazing afternoon of jazz I’ve had! Ahhhh heaven. Thank you!!!
	🕰 ♥ 6:04pm adamdoesit: Hello DJ Peter and horologists. Of course The Laughing Clock has to do with getting over the hump. It does it twice a day.
	♥ 6:04pm luka: good evening
	♥ 6:04pm Michael 98145: Haven't seen a blue sky like that in weeks.
	🕰 ♥ 6:06pm doctorjazz: Where is that show in Brooklyn?
	🕰 ♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:06 [ahmed] will be at Roulette Intermedium -- my first time at that venue!
	🕰 ♥ 6:07pm doctorjazz: First heart Pat Thomas on Destination Out, his Ellington album, which is great! (I suspected Roulette; been there a couple of times).
	🕰 ♥ 6:08pm DJ Peter: Great to see you all here! Michael 98145 (who has noted that the picture outside Ben Bridge jewelers could not be recent -- I think it's from August), Barbaric Yawp, adamdoesit, luka!
	♥ 6:10pm tom tom the pipers son: hi dj peter ....will be at roulette...
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @5:57 I don't think we've heard the Clock-puncher nickname before? I appreciate the "off work" connotation but are we concerned about the violent denotation of "punching"?
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @5:58 Only for us citizens, doc. Oligarchs just call El*n.
	♥ 6:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 ( our one-month summer. tho the cherry trees are starting to bloom. )
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: hey tom tom -- come find us! I'll be there with Jeff G., of course!
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm doctorjazz: Hmmmm, [ahmed], Ben Goldberg (or just going home and resting after work). Decisions, decisions...
	♥ 6:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @6:11 i will try...
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:10 Just saw the last episode of Season 2 of Severence this morning, nothing violent on my mind, all used up...
	🕰 ♥ 6:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:11 Actually met Jeff G ad Roulette once (and at another Brooklyn venue another time).
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:15 Saw the Webber/Morris Big Band, good show!
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 6:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:16 envious! wanna see them! hoping for a follow-up album too!
	🕰 ♥ 6:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @6:16 figured out where you're gonna store the Big Planet Noise collection yet?
	♥ 6:19pm tom tom the pipers son: love pat thomas' playing....he implies structure by tearing it up...
	♥ 6:25pm luka: ↳ Song: "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" by "Branfor... yes
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ luka @6:25 they cover the whole damn album!
	♥ 6:26pm tom tom the pipers son: like sculpture that is nascent in the block of marble, music is already in the room before a note is played... thomas hammers away the marble to get to the 'sculpture' which in music's case is nothing
	♥ 6:27pm StringOFperils: Wow! I thought this WAS Belonging! An album I used to listen to a lot back n the late 70s, when I was first listening to more jazz than I had been
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm DJ Peter: they don't change up the approach just for the sake of it (but they do alter in places). Jan Garbarek is low-key a big influence on Marsalis, maybe not the most obvious one, but there.
	♥ 6:29pm tom tom the pipers son: like the way marsalis sounds here...
	♥ 6:29pm luka: ↳ DJ Peter @6:26 the beauty of FMU. i’ve leas than zero familiarity with the original.
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ luka @6:29 ah, but "yes" all the same -- love it, luka!
	🕰 ♥ 6:31pm doctorjazz: Saw Branford a couple of times, waaaaaay back (with brother Wynton) in Blakey's band, and more recently, with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at Tanglewood.
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" by "Branfor... Branford sounds a long way from his 90s Sonny style here. More… Randy Brecker?
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:31 (back when THEY were The Young Lions-been a ton of them)
	🕰 ♥ 6:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:31 only seen that group on video: Branford was still preferring alto then!
	🕰 ♥ 6:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:32 Oh yeah, Michael Brecker I think you mean, and for sure!
	♥ 6:34pm luka: ↳ DJ Peter @6:30 to me i was just like “this sax sounds like ‘gaucho’ this is sick”
	♥ 6:34pm tom tom the pipers son: have to say the marsalis album cover looks like an advert for NEWSBUSTERS at 7'oclock
	🕰 ♥ 6:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:34 literal LOL
	🕰 ♥ 6:35pm DJ Peter: which one does sports? which does weather?
	♥ 6:35pm luka: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:34 “ Joey Calderazzo with sports”
	♥ 6:35pm luka: lol
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:34 You are correct. I mixed up my Breckers. I am a Brecker wrecker. ttps, fair and balanced!
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm DJ Peter: better than being a mothuh-brecker! hey-oh! (rim-shot)
	🕰 ♥ 6:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tribute to Duke Ellington" by "Randy Weston" This is great!
	♥ 6:39pm Michael 98145: deconstructed Ellington
	🕰 ♥ 6:40pm adamdoesit: Famously, Ellington discovered Randy Weston when the latter was playing resort gigs in the Berkshires. (Unless that was Michael Brecker?)
	♥ 6:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael 98145 @6:39 what's the difference between deconstructed and reconstructed?
	♥ 6:42pm tom tom the pipers son: was that weston/ellington deconstructed or reconstructed?
	🕰 ♥ 6:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" by "Branfor... A bit about the album... www.branfordmarsalis.com...
	🕰 ♥ 6:46pm DJ Peter: Here's the story about Betty Gordon: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 6:46pm Michael 98145: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:42 hmmm ...
	♥ 6:54pm tom tom the pipers son: sumptin' to mull ova
	🕰 ♥ 6:54pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @6:18 i'd have to figure out where to put the boxes first (all jokes aside, i've got about maybe 1/20th of the collection bob and gina have and i'm still trying to figure out how to store them all)
	🕰 ♥ 6:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @6:54 heard
	6:55pm Listener Gregory: Oops, what time is it? I took a nap and overslept!
	6:56pm Listener Gregory: Oh, man, I wanted to hear that Branford cut.
	🕰 ♥ 6:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:56 Bend space-time and you will be able to hear Marsalis!
	🕰 ♥ 7:02pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:58 What do you mean, "Did you have a beer at lunch?" That has nothing to do with it!
	🕰 ♥ 7:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:41 About $200,000, depending on your local housing market.
	♥ 7:04pm Michael 98145: ↳ pot8o @6:54 vinyl is HEAVY, isn't it?
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm pot8o: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:04 oh yeah it definitely is, looks can be deceiving
	🕰 ♥ 7:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blues for Pablo" by "Hal McKusick" Cool track! (Gimme tuba!)
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Hello DJ Peter and all! 👋
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:07 Passed by your way earlier today, concert in Metuchen...
	🕰 ♥ 7:09pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ doctorjazz @7:08 Wonderful! What was the venue?
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "On Green Dolphin Street" by "Bunky Green" If you've never seen the movie "On Green Dolphin Street," in which this chestnut is the title tune… well, I couldn't get through it.
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Blues for Pablo" by "Hal McKusick" I knew this was the same song as a Davis/Evans collaboration, but I had assumed that cut was on Sketches of Spain and not (as DJP correctly tells us) Miles Ahead. But it would have fit perfectly on Sketches!
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:08 "Concert in Metuchen" is a phrase that is seldom heard.
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: Ivan hello to you too!
	🕰 ♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:11 never seen it. sometimes the song outlives the movie. sometimes the reverse (I'm gonna say more often the reverse, given how many old Hollywood movies had songs)
	♥ 7:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:03 yes, but give that estimation A LOT of wiggle room...
	🕰 ♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 not all Pablos are Spanish, but arguably all are Sketch-y.
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:09 Metuchen Public Library, they had Abraham Burton, with a quartet, very nice set!
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 Ha! BTW, I also heard this group once when I lived in the Midwest in the 90s. Wilkerson is very underrated in the larger world, IMHO.
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Third One Smiles" by "8 Bold Souls" I think I have their first album, which I liked (but somehow didn't keep up).
	♥ 7:18pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @7:16 What a luxury to have a public library with an actual performance space
	🕰 ♥ 7:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Third One Smiles" by "8 Bold Souls" Tuba and bass together, not all that common, like the sound (I think Carla Bley has used that combo, sure there are others, but not all that many).
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm adamdoesit: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:18 <clock spins to next year> What a luxury to have a public library.
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, try to catch the rest tomorrow (Wendy has moved to my usual office Monday Morning archive listen, but I'll find somewhere...)
	7:24pm Little Danny: Hello!!
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm DJ Peter: Hey Danny!
	🕰 ♥ 7:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:21 I think that Ken Vandermark group Editions Redux, which Jeff played this morning, has that combo too.
	♥ 7:29pm Michael 98145: ↳ adamdoesit @7:22 too true
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm newton: hmmmm, I guess NY is alright
	🕰 ♥ 7:31pm DJ Peter: newton NYC's A Lark as Bill Evans once said (anagramatically)
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:31 actually he said NYC's No Lark
	🕰 ♥ 7:38pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @7:37 well there goes lanky scar
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm newton: lanky scorn
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:40 "Sonny Clark"
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:40 I must have known that at one time, but I really had no idea today.
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "It Never Entered My Mind" by "Hal McKusick" Couldn't afford a decent band?
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 7:49pm newton: I see you brought your coronet, coel
	♥ 7:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:49 you never know when you might get called onstage
	🕰 ♥ 7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:47 yeah right? How good can they be if they're not booked already?
	♥ 7:52pm Michael 98145: ↳ newton @7:49 Whoa. SOME car!
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:52 yeah, another beauty coelacanthø
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "It Never Entered My Mind" by "Hal McKusick" That was interesting, but it had the flavor of an arrangement done for a recital.
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm newton: I like the 2 tone scheme with the chrome outline
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:54 agreed. "academic"
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm WR: Hello DJ Peter and folks.
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tension and Release" by "Bunky Green" Boy, the sax part here reminds me of John Lurie. Interesting possible influence (on Lurie, I mean).
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm DJ Peter: WR hello! LG I hadn't made that connection but I buy it!
	8:04pm Dean: Late to tune in, be because I'm spinning a Lucero album. Branford...and all of that family...deserve way more love than they get from us.
	8:05pm Dean: Branford's Bloomington trio live album is a knockout.
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Tension and Release" by "Bunky Green" love that bass line this should be a standard
	🕰 ♥ 8:06pm WR: Have you folks read Lurie's autobiography? I did but don't remember what he said about his development of his sax chops. It was a library book so I can't refer back to it.
	♥ 8:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @8:00 hey WR
	🕰 ♥ 8:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:02 The piano part reminds me of the Ronin cut you played too. I guess I am just reminiscing today.
	🕰 ♥ 8:08pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:07 Hi, is that pink and white finned auto a De Soto? Not sure what makes me guess that.
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: Hey Dean! Branford in particular seems very open
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:06 I read it. Parts of it were fascinating, but it was very depressing. So much destructive drug use, and he is so bitter about his experiences in music and film.
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:09 in more than one sense of the term
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm adamdoesit: DJ Peter, I just noticed a typo in your upcoming events fill-in for Little Danny. Now you're cooking with gas.
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @8:08 that's a reasonable guess! but no a dodge coronet, '59
	8:10pm Dean: Open or not, they're all brilliant musicians.
	🕰 ♥ 8:10pm DJ Peter: hahaha! take it up with the management! (no, don't bother Doug, he does so much for us already!)
	♥ 8:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @8:08 (not a bad guess at all! ... external-content.duckduckgo.com... - same year de soto)
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 Yes, he definitely communicated that he felt exploited or mistreated in nearly all his film and music biz experiences. I appreciate his tell all approach on the drug use, it's not a happy story.
	🕰 ♥ 8:19pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:17 Year of the fins!!!
	♥ 8:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "A Paradise In The Hold" by "Yazz Ahmed" i love this already
	🕰 ♥ 8:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:17 The Michael McDonald memoir also has lots of drug stories I gather. Mrs. DJP was really intrigued by McDonald when we watched that MAX "yacht rock dock," but I decided not to get her the memoir because... it would be less fun of a read if you don't already know the names he's dropping (which she doesn't)
	♥ 8:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:20 - and the album art
	🕰 ♥ 8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:20 the whole album is enveloping
	🕰 ♥ 8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:22 yes, Bahraini fishermen and also pearl divers are influences
	🕰 ♥ 8:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:23 Yet ANOTHER Bahraini jazz record?!?!
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "A Paradise In The Hold" by "Yazz Ahmed" love that electric piano sound
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm DJ Peter: www.yazzahmed.com... www.yazzahmed.com...
	8:29pm Dean: Nothing like Jimmy LaFave crooning Springsteen's "Valentine's Day." God damn.
	8:30pm Dean: That V-Disc box is killer.
	🕰 ♥ 8:31pm newton: I think it was Rosemary Clooney who sang "extra value is what you get when you buy Coronet". though in a different context
	🕰 ♥ 8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:31 LOL I remember that!
	♥ 8:31pm coelacanth∅: wikithingie says bahrain's population of just over 1.5 million humans is over 50% expatriates from >2000 ethnicities.
	🕰 ♥ 8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:31 Probably most of them are poor laborers from Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. That's the case with the UAE, for example.
	🕰 ♥ 8:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dancing Under the Meteorites" by "Anouar Brahem" I was a big Django Bates fan, but he disappeared from my radar some time ago.
	8:42pm Dean: good night
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dancing Under the Meteorites" by "Anouar Brahem" And Anja Lechner has a recent release on ECM classical, with solo cello pieces by Bach and early writers of cello music. I wonder if her part here was written.
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:42 she does have other quote-jazz-unquote jazz releases on ECM, I'll have to review...
	♥ 8:48pm northguineahills: got here for the end from my bday dinner that my housemate put together. haven't had one in 10 years.
	🕰 ♥ 8:49pm WR: ↳ northguineahills @8:48 WOw! Happy Birthday NGH!
	♥ 8:51pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:49 dyankuyu!
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:42 Bach was probably pretty jazzy to ears that were raised on Byrd
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: HBD NGH
	🕰 ♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:51 all that cheese (I'm assuming)
	♥ 8:52pm northguineahills: ↳ newton @8:51 from william byrd to the byrds!
	♥ 8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 it was chinese, so actually, no dairy...(odd i know)
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: Wendy del Formosa?!
	♥ 8:54pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:54 aye!
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm adamdoesit: Gotta go get ready for tomorrow. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter!
	♥ 8:59pm coelacanth∅: Happy birthday ngh!
	♥ 8:59pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Peter
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm pot8o: thanks peter! have a great week everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm newton: thanks Peter
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. I think the alternation of rather different styles was quite nice, actually. If they had both been bebop altos, it would have been too much. Next time, maybe give me a call 5 min before the show start to make sure I'm awake?
	🕰 ♥ 9:51am doctorjazz: Dug the show-liking the Bunky Green stuff, didn't pay that much attention to him previously (my bad). lots of the tunes had a "West Coast Jazz" feel (whether or not they were actually West Coast); the tuba and guitar in many of them I think add to that. Dig that last McKusick track much! Thanks Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from March 23, 2025

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.

Listener comments!
	🕰 ♥ 9:05am DJ Peter: Spotlighting Hal McKusick and Bunky Green today: if you want to hear more Green, I featured him during both marathon shows (preceding this week) and if you skip around you avoid the soft sell (I didn’t rap over any Green tracks).
	5:44pm ChristinaInCanada: SEATTLE! Hello DJ Peter and fellow Clockwatchers
	🕰 ♥ 5:50pm DJ Peter: Hey ChristinaInCanada how are you today?
	5:53pm ChristinaInCanada: Thank you for asking. I am deliberating among clam chowder, lentl and vegetable stew, or chicken stew. I won a small amount in lotto, and am determined to do my taxes and cleaning to your setlisys. How are you?
	🕰 ♥ 5:55pm DJ Peter: If I weren't about to go the show, I would join you in starting on my taxes! I'm not sure when I'll get to them, but telling myself there's no reason so stress about that!
	🕰 ♥ 5:57pm doctorjazz: Hey DJ Peter and Clock-Punchers! Heard some live music this afternoon, Abraham Burton with a quartet of youngens. (Boy, I remember when Burton was a "Young Lion"). Was a fine set; he's really quite the saxaphonist (and, it was a short way from where I live in Centeral Joisey, in a library, free, with a parking lot no less! Nice set; maybe go hear Ben Goldberg at Dowtown Music Gallery this Tuesday night (not as easy, since it's in Manhattan, but free, if you don't count records I'm sure I'll purchase while I'm there).
	🕰 ♥ 5:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @5:55 Will there still be someone at the IRS to check on who did or didn't file taxes?
	♥ 6:02pm Michael 98145: Hellos, Friends
	6:03pm Barbaric Yawp: Mucho love to Laughing Clock! One of my fav shows! What an amazing afternoon of jazz I’ve had! Ahhhh heaven. Thank you!!!
	🕰 ♥ 6:04pm adamdoesit: Hello DJ Peter and horologists. Of course The Laughing Clock has to do with getting over the hump. It does it twice a day.
	♥ 6:04pm luka: good evening
	♥ 6:04pm Michael 98145: Haven't seen a blue sky like that in weeks.
	🕰 ♥ 6:06pm doctorjazz: Where is that show in Brooklyn?
	🕰 ♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:06 [ahmed] will be at Roulette Intermedium -- my first time at that venue!
	🕰 ♥ 6:07pm doctorjazz: First heart Pat Thomas on Destination Out, his Ellington album, which is great! (I suspected Roulette; been there a couple of times).
	🕰 ♥ 6:08pm DJ Peter: Great to see you all here! Michael 98145 (who has noted that the picture outside Ben Bridge jewelers could not be recent -- I think it's from August), Barbaric Yawp, adamdoesit, luka!
	♥ 6:10pm tom tom the pipers son: hi dj peter ....will be at roulette...
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @5:57 I don't think we've heard the Clock-puncher nickname before? I appreciate the "off work" connotation but are we concerned about the violent denotation of "punching"?
	🕰 ♥ 6:10pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @5:58 Only for us citizens, doc. Oligarchs just call El*n.
	♥ 6:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ DJ Peter @6:08 ( our one-month summer. tho the cherry trees are starting to bloom. )
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: hey tom tom -- come find us! I'll be there with Jeff G., of course!
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm doctorjazz: Hmmmm, [ahmed], Ben Goldberg (or just going home and resting after work). Decisions, decisions...
	♥ 6:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @6:11 i will try...
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:10 Just saw the last episode of Season 2 of Severence this morning, nothing violent on my mind, all used up...
	🕰 ♥ 6:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @6:11 Actually met Jeff G ad Roulette once (and at another Brooklyn venue another time).
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:15 Saw the Webber/Morris Big Band, good show!
	🕰 ♥ 6:16pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 6:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:16 envious! wanna see them! hoping for a follow-up album too!
	🕰 ♥ 6:18pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @6:16 figured out where you're gonna store the Big Planet Noise collection yet?
	♥ 6:19pm tom tom the pipers son: love pat thomas' playing....he implies structure by tearing it up...
	♥ 6:25pm luka: ↳ Song: "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" by "Branfor... yes
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ luka @6:25 they cover the whole damn album!
	♥ 6:26pm tom tom the pipers son: like sculpture that is nascent in the block of marble, music is already in the room before a note is played... thomas hammers away the marble to get to the 'sculpture' which in music's case is nothing
	♥ 6:27pm StringOFperils: Wow! I thought this WAS Belonging! An album I used to listen to a lot back n the late 70s, when I was first listening to more jazz than I had been
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm DJ Peter: they don't change up the approach just for the sake of it (but they do alter in places). Jan Garbarek is low-key a big influence on Marsalis, maybe not the most obvious one, but there.
	♥ 6:29pm tom tom the pipers son: like the way marsalis sounds here...
	♥ 6:29pm luka: ↳ DJ Peter @6:26 the beauty of FMU. i’ve leas than zero familiarity with the original.
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm DJ Peter: ↳ luka @6:29 ah, but "yes" all the same -- love it, luka!
	🕰 ♥ 6:31pm doctorjazz: Saw Branford a couple of times, waaaaaay back (with brother Wynton) in Blakey's band, and more recently, with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at Tanglewood.
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" by "Branfor... Branford sounds a long way from his 90s Sonny style here. More… Randy Brecker?
	🕰 ♥ 6:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:31 (back when THEY were The Young Lions-been a ton of them)
	🕰 ♥ 6:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @6:31 only seen that group on video: Branford was still preferring alto then!
	🕰 ♥ 6:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:32 Oh yeah, Michael Brecker I think you mean, and for sure!
	♥ 6:34pm luka: ↳ DJ Peter @6:30 to me i was just like “this sax sounds like ‘gaucho’ this is sick”
	♥ 6:34pm tom tom the pipers son: have to say the marsalis album cover looks like an advert for NEWSBUSTERS at 7'oclock
	🕰 ♥ 6:35pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:34 literal LOL
	🕰 ♥ 6:35pm DJ Peter: which one does sports? which does weather?
	♥ 6:35pm luka: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:34 “ Joey Calderazzo with sports”
	♥ 6:35pm luka: lol
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:34 You are correct. I mixed up my Breckers. I am a Brecker wrecker. ttps, fair and balanced!
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm DJ Peter: better than being a mothuh-brecker! hey-oh! (rim-shot)
	🕰 ♥ 6:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tribute to Duke Ellington" by "Randy Weston" This is great!
	♥ 6:39pm Michael 98145: deconstructed Ellington
	🕰 ♥ 6:40pm adamdoesit: Famously, Ellington discovered Randy Weston when the latter was playing resort gigs in the Berkshires. (Unless that was Michael Brecker?)
	♥ 6:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael 98145 @6:39 what's the difference between deconstructed and reconstructed?
	♥ 6:42pm tom tom the pipers son: was that weston/ellington deconstructed or reconstructed?
	🕰 ♥ 6:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Long As You Know You're Living Yours" by "Branfor... A bit about the album... www.branfordmarsalis.com...
	🕰 ♥ 6:46pm DJ Peter: Here's the story about Betty Gordon: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 6:46pm Michael 98145: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:42 hmmm ...
	♥ 6:54pm tom tom the pipers son: sumptin' to mull ova
	🕰 ♥ 6:54pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @6:18 i'd have to figure out where to put the boxes first (all jokes aside, i've got about maybe 1/20th of the collection bob and gina have and i'm still trying to figure out how to store them all)
	🕰 ♥ 6:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @6:54 heard
	6:55pm Listener Gregory: Oops, what time is it? I took a nap and overslept!
	6:56pm Listener Gregory: Oh, man, I wanted to hear that Branford cut.
	🕰 ♥ 6:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:56 Bend space-time and you will be able to hear Marsalis!
	🕰 ♥ 7:02pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:58 What do you mean, "Did you have a beer at lunch?" That has nothing to do with it!
	🕰 ♥ 7:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:41 About $200,000, depending on your local housing market.
	♥ 7:04pm Michael 98145: ↳ pot8o @6:54 vinyl is HEAVY, isn't it?
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm pot8o: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:04 oh yeah it definitely is, looks can be deceiving
	🕰 ♥ 7:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blues for Pablo" by "Hal McKusick" Cool track! (Gimme tuba!)
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Hello DJ Peter and all! 👋
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:07 Passed by your way earlier today, concert in Metuchen...
	🕰 ♥ 7:09pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ doctorjazz @7:08 Wonderful! What was the venue?
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "On Green Dolphin Street" by "Bunky Green" If you've never seen the movie "On Green Dolphin Street," in which this chestnut is the title tune… well, I couldn't get through it.
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Blues for Pablo" by "Hal McKusick" I knew this was the same song as a Davis/Evans collaboration, but I had assumed that cut was on Sketches of Spain and not (as DJP correctly tells us) Miles Ahead. But it would have fit perfectly on Sketches!
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:08 "Concert in Metuchen" is a phrase that is seldom heard.
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: Ivan hello to you too!
	🕰 ♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:11 never seen it. sometimes the song outlives the movie. sometimes the reverse (I'm gonna say more often the reverse, given how many old Hollywood movies had songs)
	♥ 7:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:03 yes, but give that estimation A LOT of wiggle room...
	🕰 ♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 not all Pablos are Spanish, but arguably all are Sketch-y.
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ivan from Woodbridge @7:09 Metuchen Public Library, they had Abraham Burton, with a quartet, very nice set!
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 Ha! BTW, I also heard this group once when I lived in the Midwest in the 90s. Wilkerson is very underrated in the larger world, IMHO.
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Third One Smiles" by "8 Bold Souls" I think I have their first album, which I liked (but somehow didn't keep up).
	♥ 7:18pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @7:16 What a luxury to have a public library with an actual performance space
	🕰 ♥ 7:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Third One Smiles" by "8 Bold Souls" Tuba and bass together, not all that common, like the sound (I think Carla Bley has used that combo, sure there are others, but not all that many).
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm adamdoesit: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:18 <clock spins to next year> What a luxury to have a public library.
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, try to catch the rest tomorrow (Wendy has moved to my usual office Monday Morning archive listen, but I'll find somewhere...)
	7:24pm Little Danny: Hello!!
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm DJ Peter: Hey Danny!
	🕰 ♥ 7:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:21 I think that Ken Vandermark group Editions Redux, which Jeff played this morning, has that combo too.
	♥ 7:29pm Michael 98145: ↳ adamdoesit @7:22 too true
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm newton: hmmmm, I guess NY is alright
	🕰 ♥ 7:31pm DJ Peter: newton NYC's A Lark as Bill Evans once said (anagramatically)
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:31 actually he said NYC's No Lark
	🕰 ♥ 7:38pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @7:37 well there goes lanky scar
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm newton: lanky scorn
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:40 "Sonny Clark"
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:40 I must have known that at one time, but I really had no idea today.
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "It Never Entered My Mind" by "Hal McKusick" Couldn't afford a decent band?
	♥ 7:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings Peter and all
	🕰 ♥ 7:49pm newton: I see you brought your coronet, coel
	♥ 7:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @7:49 you never know when you might get called onstage
	🕰 ♥ 7:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:47 yeah right? How good can they be if they're not booked already?
	♥ 7:52pm Michael 98145: ↳ newton @7:49 Whoa. SOME car!
	🕰 ♥ 7:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:52 yeah, another beauty coelacanthø
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "It Never Entered My Mind" by "Hal McKusick" That was interesting, but it had the flavor of an arrangement done for a recital.
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm newton: I like the 2 tone scheme with the chrome outline
	🕰 ♥ 7:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:54 agreed. "academic"
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm WR: Hello DJ Peter and folks.
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tension and Release" by "Bunky Green" Boy, the sax part here reminds me of John Lurie. Interesting possible influence (on Lurie, I mean).
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm DJ Peter: WR hello! LG I hadn't made that connection but I buy it!
	8:04pm Dean: Late to tune in, be because I'm spinning a Lucero album. Branford...and all of that family...deserve way more love than they get from us.
	8:05pm Dean: Branford's Bloomington trio live album is a knockout.
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Tension and Release" by "Bunky Green" love that bass line this should be a standard
	🕰 ♥ 8:06pm WR: Have you folks read Lurie's autobiography? I did but don't remember what he said about his development of his sax chops. It was a library book so I can't refer back to it.
	♥ 8:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @8:00 hey WR
	🕰 ♥ 8:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:02 The piano part reminds me of the Ronin cut you played too. I guess I am just reminiscing today.
	🕰 ♥ 8:08pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:07 Hi, is that pink and white finned auto a De Soto? Not sure what makes me guess that.
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: Hey Dean! Branford in particular seems very open
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:06 I read it. Parts of it were fascinating, but it was very depressing. So much destructive drug use, and he is so bitter about his experiences in music and film.
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:09 in more than one sense of the term
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm adamdoesit: DJ Peter, I just noticed a typo in your upcoming events fill-in for Little Danny. Now you're cooking with gas.
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @8:08 that's a reasonable guess! but no a dodge coronet, '59
	8:10pm Dean: Open or not, they're all brilliant musicians.
	🕰 ♥ 8:10pm DJ Peter: hahaha! take it up with the management! (no, don't bother Doug, he does so much for us already!)
	♥ 8:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @8:08 (not a bad guess at all! ... external-content.duckduckgo.com... - same year de soto)
	🕰 ♥ 8:17pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:09 Yes, he definitely communicated that he felt exploited or mistreated in nearly all his film and music biz experiences. I appreciate his tell all approach on the drug use, it's not a happy story.
	🕰 ♥ 8:19pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:17 Year of the fins!!!
	♥ 8:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "A Paradise In The Hold" by "Yazz Ahmed" i love this already
	🕰 ♥ 8:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:17 The Michael McDonald memoir also has lots of drug stories I gather. Mrs. DJP was really intrigued by McDonald when we watched that MAX "yacht rock dock," but I decided not to get her the memoir because... it would be less fun of a read if you don't already know the names he's dropping (which she doesn't)
	♥ 8:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:20 - and the album art
	🕰 ♥ 8:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:20 the whole album is enveloping
	🕰 ♥ 8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:22 yes, Bahraini fishermen and also pearl divers are influences
	🕰 ♥ 8:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:23 Yet ANOTHER Bahraini jazz record?!?!
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "A Paradise In The Hold" by "Yazz Ahmed" love that electric piano sound
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm DJ Peter: www.yazzahmed.com... www.yazzahmed.com...
	8:29pm Dean: Nothing like Jimmy LaFave crooning Springsteen's "Valentine's Day." God damn.
	8:30pm Dean: That V-Disc box is killer.
	🕰 ♥ 8:31pm newton: I think it was Rosemary Clooney who sang "extra value is what you get when you buy Coronet". though in a different context
	🕰 ♥ 8:31pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:31 LOL I remember that!
	♥ 8:31pm coelacanth∅: wikithingie says bahrain's population of just over 1.5 million humans is over 50% expatriates from >2000 ethnicities.
	🕰 ♥ 8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:31 Probably most of them are poor laborers from Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. That's the case with the UAE, for example.
	🕰 ♥ 8:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dancing Under the Meteorites" by "Anouar Brahem" I was a big Django Bates fan, but he disappeared from my radar some time ago.
	8:42pm Dean: good night
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dancing Under the Meteorites" by "Anouar Brahem" And Anja Lechner has a recent release on ECM classical, with solo cello pieces by Bach and early writers of cello music. I wonder if her part here was written.
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:42 she does have other quote-jazz-unquote jazz releases on ECM, I'll have to review...
	♥ 8:48pm northguineahills: got here for the end from my bday dinner that my housemate put together. haven't had one in 10 years.
	🕰 ♥ 8:49pm WR: ↳ northguineahills @8:48 WOw! Happy Birthday NGH!
	♥ 8:51pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:49 dyankuyu!
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:42 Bach was probably pretty jazzy to ears that were raised on Byrd
	🕰 ♥ 8:51pm DJ Peter: HBD NGH
	🕰 ♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @8:51 all that cheese (I'm assuming)
	♥ 8:52pm northguineahills: ↳ newton @8:51 from william byrd to the byrds!
	♥ 8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 it was chinese, so actually, no dairy...(odd i know)
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: Wendy del Formosa?!
	♥ 8:54pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Peter @8:54 aye!
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm adamdoesit: Gotta go get ready for tomorrow. Thank you, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter!
	♥ 8:59pm coelacanth∅: Happy birthday ngh!
	♥ 8:59pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Peter
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm pot8o: thanks peter! have a great week everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm newton: thanks Peter
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. I think the alternation of rather different styles was quite nice, actually. If they had both been bebop altos, it would have been too much. Next time, maybe give me a call 5 min before the show start to make sure I'm awake?
	🕰 ♥ 9:51am doctorjazz: Dug the show-liking the Bunky Green stuff, didn't pay that much attention to him previously (my bad). lots of the tunes had a "West Coast Jazz" feel (whether or not they were actually West Coast); the tuba and guitar in many of them I think add to that. Dig that last McKusick track much! Thanks Peter!
