Hey all, time for some drumming!

8:59am mauri:

hey there. just gonna fly back to finland from latvia where i actually encountered a man who said good radiostation to me. i had wfmu shirt on.

🥁

9:01am doctorjazz:

I was up in the Berkshires last week, Mass MoCA music festival, I had my shirt and saw quite a few WFMU shirts there, got lots of feedback from other FMU fans. Latvia is wild, though...

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Hey doc, ho mauri!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

I was wearing an FMU shirt at the grocery store the other day and a cashier said, "Nice shirt!" I asked if he knew FMU and he said, "No, I just like your shirt."

9:07am Mr C:

Ain't no crime to get on down with the Drummer! Double up on it Doug!

🥁

9:07am doctorjazz:

My younger coopted my WFMU fleece, "Woof-Moo", wears it at college. Her friends like it and ask her what it means, she tells them, "it's a weird radio station my dad likes".

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Forget double dutch, Mr C. I'll pay!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Lawrence Walker is my all-time cajun favorite. There are bigger stars, better singers and nimbler accordionists, but no one is realer than Lawrence Walker.

9:13am Stanley:

Yodeladdie-oo

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Who you callin' and old lady, Stanley?!

🥁

9:16am doctorjazz:

Can never have too many waltzes...

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

I totally agree, doctorjazz. The odd meter is the best meter.

9:20am ausmanx:

evening all, from a rather too cold antipodes.

🥁

9:21am doctorjazz:

Working on my box step.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Top o' the evening to you, chilly ausmanx!

9:21am northguineahills:

I could use some cajun to spice up my morn.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Pour some on your Oatie-O's, northguineahills!

9:30am melinda:

hi Doug and friends!

9:34am ausmanx:

seen that 1974 doco "Inside South Louisiana" with the Balfa Brothers? it's a pretty good piece of work...

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Please to read you, melinda!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

On second thought, "The Chocolate Tunnel" is maybe not such a great band name.

9:36am melinda:

Great band names.

9:39am Jeff Golick:

What it is, party people.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Golick. He just might be a boy.

9:40am melinda:

@Doug hee hee

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Hee hee just might be a boy.

9:42am Ramblin' Ray:

Greetings to all getting it together courtesy of the Drummerman!

9:43am Jeff Golick:

Anything's possible.

9:43am ausmanx:

speaking of band names, off to see four=part harmonies of "All Our Exes Live in Texas" on the weekend, really just because of their name...

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Rock 'n' Roll. Rambl 'n' Ray!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Here comes and oldie but goodie.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

A goldie!

🥁

9:57am listener james from westwood:

Tasty late-60s set!

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

And so nutritious, too, Listener James!

10:00am glenn:

tasty and nutritious. i can get behind that.

10:06am Ramblin' Ray:

The sound of 10 Lords a-Leaping?

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

The kids today listen to 10 Lordes a-Leaping.

10:10am Mr C:

Is that Jeanne Lee?

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

The divine Jeanne Lee indeed. My #2 after Billie.

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

She was married to Gunter at the time of this recording.

10:13am Mr C:

The ghosts of free jazz past.

10:14am Mr C:

I was phasing out of free by '78.

🥁

10:15am βrian:

Ok, strapped into my rumble seat, goggles on.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of ghosts, Mr C... Our Dear Albert

10:16am Mr C:

NOW you're talking!

🥁

10:16am doctorjazz:

Nice Ayler, uplifting

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

We'll be airborne any moment now, βrian.

🥁

10:21am βrian:

Yep, we have roads like that, too.

10:22am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Big bear hug, ndbob!

10:24am Flash Strap:

morning doug and jazz friends

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Ayler recorded live at the Village Theatre 2/26/67

10:26am ausmanx:

i don't think anyone reached where Albert got to, before or since. even Brotzmann

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Even bigger bear hug (that is, a hug from a considerably larger bear), Flash Strap!

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

This performance of Alabama figures profoundly in the early section of the Coltrane documentary, coming up at 11am. I urge you to keep listening for it.

10:32am coelacanth∅:

good morning Doug and Freedom Trane Riders

🥁

10:33am βrian:

So very many have called me "Brain." And in writing!

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

And surely they wouldn't be wrong.

🥁

10:38am βrian:

I give zombies wide berth.

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

G∅∅d to see you, coelacanth∅!

10:38am Mr C:

Way Out Records and Albert Ayler: Cleveland Rocks!

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Because a wide birth would be more painful, βrian.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

From Cleveland to Detroit (pronounced DEE-troit)

10:41am Flash Strap:

this is a jaw dropper

🥁

10:42am JtotheK:

good morning Doug, hi everyone.

🥁

10:42am JtotheK:

@Flash - I caught bits & pieces of your library program last night - great stuff, I look forward to checking out the rest via archives over the weekend.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, JtotheK!

10:44am melinda:

hi Bob!

10:44am melinda:

hi Flash!

10:44am Flash Strap:

thumbs up, brother J-K

10:45am ndbob:

Hi Melinda!

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

If anyone out there would like to participate in the comments, but doesn't, YOU ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED! This is a space for everyone. Jump in and say hello!

10:49am glenn:

or the way it was pronounced, in the original french - deh-twah.

10:49am Flash Strap:

Hi Melinda!

10:53am lucyinbkln:

Good morning, doug!! making the morning ok...

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

lucyinbkln! lucyinbkln!

10:54am Flash Strap:

Seconding Doug's call: Commenting is where it's at

🥁

10:55am βrian:

Detroit Désespéré = Dire Straits

10:56am Hams:

hello!

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Sometimes I fear that people are laying back from the comments because it looks like everyone here knows each other and it's a closed little community.

My biggest fear is that even one person feels this way.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Your timing is excellent, Hams! Coltrane documentary coming up that will blow your mind. And hello!

10:58am Carmichael:

I have a membership card to post here.

10:59am Ramblin' Ray:

I comment therefore I am.

11:00am Uncle Michael:

Scared the shit out of me, Doug.

11:01am ndbob:

@Doug - that can happen - no one should worry about commenting - this is a welcoming group

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Lifetime membership, Carmichael. Several lifetimes.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

I am like a good colonic, Uncle M.

11:06am melinda:

Commenting is fun!

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

The beloved Max Roach.

11:10am glenn:

apropos of nothing, las vegas is getting legal weed, robot bartenders, and a hockey team.

11:11am melinda:

Yes to legal weed, boo on robot bartenders. Indifference to hockey team.

11:11am glenn:

they'll be a pretty shitty hockey team for a few years, no doubt.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Sounds like a T.C. Boyle novel: Legal Weed, Robot Bartenders, and a Hockey Team

11:13am coelacanth∅:

what melinda said.
...i'd never go to a place that used a machine to dispense drinks.

🥁

11:14am βrian:

I hope they have outdoor games.

11:15am glenn:

but what if they used machines to dispense the legal weed?

11:15am Flash Strap:

This is amazing

11:16am melinda:

Weed machines might be ok.

11:16am coelacanth∅:

hmm, glenn - it depends if there're other options i guess.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

A mazing.

11:17am glenn:

this is also amazing. and fabulous. and awesome. i can see this being featured on the drummer stream.www.youtube.com...

11:17am melinda:

I'm glad weed is being legalized but the prospect of agribusinesses taking over production is not good.

11:20am Cecile:

Hola! Coming in late, but Doug made it sound so good I didn't want to miss it.

🥁

11:21am βrian:

Doug, is this being archived? The wife needs to listen.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Glad I enticed you, Cecile. It is my job to bring this to every ear.

Sorrowfully, I am not archiving this. The documentary is still available commercially (the whole thing for only $15).

🥁

11:23am doctorjazz:

Just love these demos on the piano!

11:24am Cecile:

I will have to look into getting it.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

The documentary can be purchased here for $3 per episode: www.artistowned.com...

11:24am Dean:

Used to hear Zita Carno accompany during Green Umbrella shows in LA, classical programs, often world or US premieres, i.e., new stuff: Ligeti, Birtwistle, Salonen, etc.

11:25am Cecile:

See, this is the kind of thing missing from most documentaries about music.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

The worst thing about music documentaries of the last 20 years: Every director feels the absurd need to include Bono.

11:27am Dean:

Great photo of Carno, retired professional pianist, current baseball researcher, here: http://forward.com/schmooze/129014/zita-carno-defender-of-free-jazz-modern-music-and/

11:28am Cecile:

hahahahaha
or Henry Rollins. Although I do like Hank, he's a nerd like me.

11:29am Uncle Michael:

If you aren't completely spent, please join me for Hinky Dinky Time's trip to 1974 at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

I adore Zita. She was the principal pianist with the L.A. Philharmonic for 20 years. Now, as Dean says, she's a beloved baseball historian.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Nerds like we, Cecile.

🥁

11:31am JtotheK:

this reminds me, i haven't listened to dolphy "out to lunch" in a while.

🥁

11:32am βrian:

Brown University has a copy, but that's about it. Guess I'll buy a copy.

🥁

11:33am βrian:

That's short for Bonobo, right?

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Bo knows baseball. Bo knows bonobos.

🥁

11:34am doctorjazz:

I didn't know Trane took some lessons from Ornette, knew he was interested in all the Avant Garde stuff, that's interesting.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

@JtotheK
An iconic masterwork.

11:36am Mike East:

so glad I'm finally able to catch some of this. thanks for presenting it, Doug.

11:38am coelacanth∅:

i've always wondered what Coltrane would've done instead, or how long his evolution would've taken, if not for Ornette.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

It is my awesome pleasure, Mike East!

11:40am Stanley:

Trane wasn't just whistling Dixie, you know

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Not just, Stanley.

11:44am Cecile:

Trane and Johnny Coleman is a great record.

11:44am Cecile:

Johnny is one of my favorite singers

11:44am Uncle Michael:

That mouthpiece story sounds...not very real.

11:45am Uncle Michael:

Love the Hartman album.

11:45am Webhamster Henry:

Two of my names are John and Hartman. #yesitsallaboutme

11:45am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Doug, been listening, not typing.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
The mouthpiece story doesn't go into deep depth. The real story is that Trane had horrible dental problems that made it excruciating to play. He tried to have his mouthpiece adjusted to relieve the pain, and the mouthpiece was ruined.

I have always thought of Trane's record with Johnny Hartman and his recordings with Duke Ellington as his avant garde period.

🥁

11:46am JtotheK:

no hobbies? not into sports? then wait -- why did he title his single greatest record "Sports"? oh wait, that's huey lewis. carry on.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Webhamster H!

🥁

11:48am JtotheK:

the trane/duke impulse LP is a go-to when i am unsure what jazz LP i am in the mood to listen to.

11:48am Uncle Michael:

That makes more sense, Doug. How was the mouthpiece problem solved?

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

I'm pretty sure the story is that Coltrane just learned to live with the pain and played on with a substandard mouthpiece.

🥁

11:52am JtotheK:

the gary bartz 'music is my sanctuary' LP w/the mizell bros is full of soul-jazz JAMS.

🥁

11:54am JtotheK:

(as is bobbi humphrey blacks and blues...)

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Chills chills chills chills chills.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

The great deejay Uncle Michael will entertain you with humility, sincerity and integrity, next with Hinky Dinky Time. Stay tuned!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:58am JtotheK:

thanks again, doug - been enjoying the documentary, very much!

11:58am Stanley:

Such quality.
What can I say?
Thanks...er, Doug.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Doug.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

So so glad to make it available!

11:58am Goyim in the AM:

The story is that Trane was embarrassed by the damage heroin had done to his teeth and got a bridge, which interfered with his embouchure -- he got his mouthpiece messed up adjusting for that.

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

There you go. Thanks for the clarification, Goyim in the AM!

🥁

12:00pm doctorjazz:

Thanks Doug!
Good weekend/Fourth, all!

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

I'm afraid this spiritual hunger must yield to corporeal hunger. Off for some lemony hummus. Thanks, Doug.

12:01pm Flash Strap:

God DAMN this was good Doug, thank you thank you

need to hear the first 2 hours now, kicking myself for missing them

12:01pm Ramblin' Ray:

Thanks Doug. Peace and love y'all!

12:01pm Goyim in the AM:

(My brother studied with Lewis Porter.)

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

Many thanks, Doug!

12:02pm coelacanth∅:

Thank you Doug!!!

12:03pm Hams:
