8:50am Doug Schulkind:

Very happy 10th to Giz and duke!

8:51am glenn:

rainy. baking bread. no cat birthdays here. many happy returns to gizmo.

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

Raining again here, too. Means I can't rake up the backyard leaves from last fall for a 974th consecutive day.

9:00am Mr C:

What's easy to do for two/is so hard to be done by one. Monica and Doug, two titans, take it to the stage at the same time!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Y'all should go enjoy Monica over on WFMU, but come back at 11am (ET) for Part 2 of the Coltrane documentary!

9:04am Stanley:

Too righty Mr C.
Yo Doug.

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Yo ho ho, Stanley!

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

The NOW PLAYING info on the playlist is more like a doctoral dissertation!

9:10am Monica:

hola, dougeleh! goin' head to head, toe to toe with my radio rabbi!

9:11am glenn:

so, in this scenario, who's macgregor, and who's mayweather?

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

I'll be Mac and she'll be cheese.

🥁

9:37am Brian in UK:

Hello DJ Lacey.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

You are under musical arrest, Brian in UK!

9:43am Webhamster Henry:

Oh yeah - now I don't have to do push ups!

9:44am Webhamster Henry:

BTW my band is doing a show tomorrow with Andes Manta, four Ecuadorian brothers.

9:45am Webhamster Henry:

But they are less volatile than these guys.

9:45am Alex in Illinois:

This is a greeting? For a while, it sounded like they were trying to see who can do the most push ups or sit ups.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

My best friend in early elementary school was a kid from Ecuador.

🥁

9:46am Artie Haywire:

What madness is this?

9:46am Webhamster Henry:

We're doing a few tunes in Quechua.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex
Maybe they are greeting each other in a Planet Fitness?

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Because of course you are, Webhamster Henry!

9:48am Uncle Michael:

I hope this is the extended mix of En tu Duc Es Pensament.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

This is the club mix, Uncle Michael.

9:49am Uncle Michael:

Awesome.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

According to Google Translate, this song title is...

"En tu Duc Es Pensament"

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Next two songs from Tonga had me weeping the other night. Just kept listening to them over and over and over. So gorgeous.

🥁

9:53am Brian in UK:

The Very Best of Hugh Tracey?

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Insipid title, I agree, Brian in UK.

9:57am Webhamster Henry:

Ethnomusicology FTW!

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

It is the great lava flow of my musical desire, Henry.

9:58am Mark Williams:

these pieces from Tonga are quite lovely, Doug. Here's some more tissues.

10:01am Webhamster Henry:

English has 3,000 synonyms for "Drunk".

10:01am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

🥁

10:05am Brian in UK:

Maybe those people thought it might steal their souls in the same way years ago it was thought that when you had your photograph taken the same would happen.

🥁

10:06am βrian:

WFMUing with Doug. Good morning.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Woofing and MUing! Hello, βrian.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

And howdy-ho, ndbob!

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the tissues, Mark W. I am "a crier."

10:09am Jeff Golick:

Hook me up, Mr. DJ.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

You are OFF THA HOOK, Jeff Golick.

10:13am Mark Williams:

King Cry Cry

10:14am Mark Williams:

i'm a weeping willow myself, so no worries.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

It's good to have a good cry.

10:25am Jeff Golick:

Belatedly: that New Music New York 1979 record is sort of a magical document.

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Brilliant New Orleans drummer James Black is on this Yusef record. Stroke of genius to include his strokes of genius.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
It's a touchstone. A lodestar. A benchmark.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Happy 45th birthday to Title IX!

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

Been listening to Eastern Sounds by Mr Lateef. Has that Chinese flute, a Xun, like the sound of it.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

Love that record, Brian. But you knew that.

🥁

10:33am βrian:

Never heard this Ray Bryant before, that's for sure. I thought maybe Dollar Brand had snuck in.

10:43am coelacanth∅:

greetings Doug; Drummers; Lovers Supreme

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

H∅ h∅ h∅, coelacanth∅!

🥁

10:48am βrian:

If you were to play an Empty Set (∅), what would you play?

🥁

10:49am duke:

I'm back, what did I miss?

10:49am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

If I may speak for the artists, ndbob, thank you.

@duke
The record was skipping for the last 92 minutes.

🥁

10:52am Brian in UK:

@duke happy birthday to Gizmo.

🥁

10:53am JtotheK:

salutations everyone. i hope there's still a seat available for me, looking forward to Coltrane doc pt 2!

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Time for a peepee, everyone. Or, more accurately, a P.P.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Just in time, JtotheK!

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Was she not the ONLY lady of Immediate?

10:58am northguineahills:

@βrian: I have an empty set ( ∅ ) (Mika Vaino solo project) record. It sounded like minimal electronic bleeps w/ occasional rhythmic clicks.

🥁

11:00am doctorjazz:

Out of town, have a few minutes to listen and check in, hiya drummers!

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

You are all in for a treat.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, northguineahills!

11:02am Stanley:

I'm back from th other side, peepeed and everything

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

To unheard of tongue...

11:02am northguineahills:

I heard last week's, but I was on the road. It's been 10 years since I first heard this series.

🥁

11:03am doctorjazz:

(damn crappy hotel Wi-Fi...)

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

It's been 10 years for everyone, northguineahills. I did air individual episodes a few times over the years.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Zita Carno, speaking here, is also a well-loved BASEBALL historian!!

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Zita was the pianist with the L.A. Philharmonic for two decades.

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

MacArthur Genius Grant-winning Steve Coleman!

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

On a rare good day...

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

This is deep knowledge explained beautifully.

🥁

11:14am doctorjazz:

This is a fabulous demo tonality and modality...

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

You don't have to "know," just hear.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Giant Steps is math and science.

11:19am Uncle Michael:

Metronome can kiss my ass.

🥁

11:19am Brian in UK:

Are Giant Steps and Coltrane Jazz twins.

🥁

11:20am doctorjazz:

What a bad review, wow! Wouldn't want to be that reviewer later...

🥁

11:20am duke:

Whoever wrote that Metronome review should have their reviwer's license revoked.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Coltrane Jazz came after the Giant Steps deep investigations period. Coltrane Jazz begins the period of expressionism.

That Metronome reviewer can be forgiven. There is no way he or she could have any real understanding of what exactly was going on during Trane's Giant Steps solo.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Andrew White here is the greatest Coltrane historian in terms of the music. He was a member of the JFK Quintet in the early '60s in Washington, DC. So him perform many times during my young adulthood in the D.C. area. What a brilliant man.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Strap on your seat belts, folks.

11:27am raissa:

bliss, thanks Doug!

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Raissa!! So profoundly happy to share this!

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

That's 200%!

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Rather unbelievably, this entire 5-hour documentary is available for purchase for $15. Go here:

www.artistowned.com...

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Cosmic overview.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

The solo IS the composition.

🥁

11:43am Brian in UK:

The feeling I get is that even religion was not high enough for John Coltrane.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Trane's disappointment with religion's insufficiency and inconsistency —suggests you are onto something, Brian in UK.

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

It is difficult to take someone elses own intensity to one's own interior; it is so demanding.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

"I thank Coltrane for being."

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

If Monica is a vessel, you must be a conduit, Doug!

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Conduit to it!

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

It just might be possible that I'd seen Elvin Jones live more than any other musician.

11:55am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

The wonderful Uncle Michael is BACK, baby! Get ready for Hinky Dinky Time, here on your 24-hour Drummer Stream.

🥁
