Listener comments!

🥁

8:56am dutchtheo:

One Monkey Don't Stop No Show! Howdy! Going ape!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for swinging by, dutchtheo!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Having some technical difficulties. Hang on!

9:06am Uncle Michael:

uh oh!

9:07am Uncle Michael:

whew!

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Phew. Not sure what I did to fix it, but I fixed it.

9:08am Uncle Michael:

You remembered whatever it was you forgot in two weeks!

9:09am ausmanx:

that chimp was clearly your technical adviser

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Normally, I would have tested my connection upon returning from vacation, but there are now so many live shows on the stream, there are few opportunities to jump on the stream. (That is my excuse and it is sticking to me.)

🥁

9:10am duke:

That chimp plays just like I do

🥁

9:11am doctorjazz:

Welcome back, Doug!

9:13am Jessie Allen:

We're listening in Stonington. Too cold to swim yet.

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

The music's warm, Jessie dear. Jump in... head first!

9:21am annie:

good morning hippies, hipsters, and the hipless

🥁

9:23am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

and hippos!

🥁

9:24am doctorjazz:

Signal not so clear, could be on my end (or not).

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
The original source for this track is an old cassette. That's likely the issue.

Hello annie and Granny!

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

This song, El Amana, is about a new cooktop/oven unit! No it's not really!

9:34am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings to duke and ausmanx! I forgot you fellers in the technical maelstrom at the start of the show.

🥁

9:35am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

one thing for sure, THIS track is COOKIN'!

9:35am Webhamster Henry:

Roll over Beethoven!

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Granny
Prepare thyself. The next track shall boil OVER!

9:38am Alex in Illinois:

It took me a few minutes to figure out why that melody seemed so familiar

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Jemaa El Fna = Rendezvous of the Dead

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
Was that what it was?! I couldn't place it. I need to brush up on my Beethoven!

Howdy, Alex in Illinois!

9:42am Sem:

Good morning, Doug, and hello, all.
I found Morocco to be an entirely estatic experience, but this market was beyond describing.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, Sem!

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Beyond words, yes. But here are some words to describe it:

For centuries, the Jemaa El Fna (Rendezvous of the Dead) has remained the stage for one of the most spectacular social forums on the planet. By day, this central square in the city of Marrakesh, one of Morocco's great imperial cities, fosters a kaleidoscope of entertainment for its local inhabitants; storytellers, acrobats, magicians and snake charmers all create intriguing displays of bewitching spectacle. As the sun sets, the evening grows frantic with the pulse of the crowd; it is then that the night musicians set up. Free from the restrictions and expectations of light entertainment for a tourist crowd, these musicians manifest ecstatic performances that animate the audience and players alike. The groups represented on this album; Troupe Majidi, Amal Saha, and Mustapha Mahjoub, are working and carrying the torch of their musical heroes nightly in the square. These songs come from the repertoire of Morocco's greatest musical exports: Nass El Ghiwane, Lemchaheb, Jil Jilala, Larssad, and many others from the Chaabi (Moroccan popular music) canon and are given a raw, emotional and fiery interpretation. Instruments are powered by car batteries and blown out through megaphone speakers. These recordings represent a rare opportunity to hear this music at such close proximity, taking in all the power and pa ssion of the performances. The raw fidelity captures an unflinching immersion of what is simply some of the greatest street music on earth.

9:51am Sem:

A fine bunch of words, agreed.

🥁

9:51am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

oh, goodness, the Sublime Frequencies catalogue could drain my bank account

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

@Granny Spicy Tuna
From personal experience, I concur.

🥁

9:56am dutchtheo:

skylarking riddim or crabwalking if you're in Maine

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

@dutchtheo
Yup, Skylarking!

9:59am mauri:

*drumfill* Heyy Doug and drummahs

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

mauri hey! mauri hey!

10:00am Parq:

🥁

10:04am dutchtheo:

Spazztastic

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

I think Dave the Spazz is holding the camera.

10:06am Jeff g.:

Working at home! Happy to be here, and here!

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

"Working" at home, eh?! Welcome welcome you working stiff!

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

By "working," I assume that means furiously scouring the interwebs for that newly found 1964 Coltrane recording slated for a September release.

10:11am sinner:

Who's got the coffee?

10:12am chresti:

Irie Morning

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

sinner's HERE! chresti's HERE!

Woop woop!

10:14am chresti:

Coffee is on the way

10:15am Alex In Illinois:

That bassline is very danceworthy

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Freddie Mac is covering a George Jackson number recorded at Muscle Shoals as part of a voter registration push.

10:16am thedunkel / el carnicero francés:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer! Good morning all!

🥁

10:17am dutchtheo:

Aha, Dem horns from muscle shoals.

10:19am Jeff g.:

@Doug: well duh.

10:21am fleep:

Cha cha cha, humans

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Beep beep beep, make way for fleep fleep fleep!

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Honk honk honk, make way for thedunk thedunk thedunk!

🥁

10:25am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

this show has cost me about 25 buck so far, thanks, Doug! :-)

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

When I listen to this amazing track, my heart pours out love for Maine, but also for Listener Hugo of Bergen, Norway. It was he who found a pristine copy of this record and sent me gorgeous clean files to replace the shittyass copy I had.

Thank you, Hugo!

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

@Granny Spicy Tuna
You will be paid back double, psychically.

10:33am Ramblin' Ray:

A bouncy hello to one and all!

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hooray Ramblin' Ray!

10:38am Jessie Allen:

Lincoln and I are heading out to the market but Luna is home and will be listening, so you might want to say hi to her.

🥁

10:38am Artie:

The Maine Event!! Greetings, Drummervationists!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Will do. Have a lobster roll on me!

How grand of you to come, Artie!

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

The next track is an amazing live performance at a night club in Tangiers in 1958. The recording is crappy, with lots of tiny cut-outs of sound, but it's the only recording available. Amazing amazing amazing.

10:43am ausmanx:

and a good evening to ms jessie too, before i head off home over the bridge. see youse all next week...

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

NO! I was wrong. This was recorded at the studios of Radio Tangier International.

The lineup:
Idrees Sulieman (trumpet), Oscar Dennard (piano), Jamil Nasser (bass), Buster Smith (drums)

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Sleep tight, ausmanx! (But not until after you cross the bridge.)

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Circular breathing on trumpet. Intense.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

The pianist on this date, Oscar Dennard, is a bit of a mystery. His contemporaries held him in highest esteem, but he hardly ever appeared on record (this was not ever officially released).

10:51am fleep:

Dennard www.jazzwax.com...

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, fleep! That piece contains the most info I've found about him. I originally procured the "Legendary Oscar Dennard" record, but I found it had lots of little imperfections in the audio. When that "4 Amercian Jazzmen in Tangiers" disc came out, I snapped it up, but it, too, has the imperfections.

Signed,
Grumpy But Still Happy

🥁

11:00am doctorjazz:

Another bad cassette source? Getting the same slightly broken up sound. (On this great Gryce track)

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

I think this one may be on you, doc.

11:03am Matt Fiveash:

Heya Doug!

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome Matt! (Sorry, I coundn't resist.)

11:04am Matt Fiveash:

That's OK, beats "Fiveass"!

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

That was my other choice.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Just got back from Maine, Matt. Thought, as I always do now when in the vicinity, about Isle au Haut fondly.

11:24am Marie:

Welcome back, Doug. Is that your monkey?

11:25am burke:

Never heard such a dance-able discussion of fiscal policy!

11:25am burke:

Gonna be hard to read Paul Krugman after this.

11:26am Doug's monkey:

Hello there, Marie!

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

I am a Krugman true-believer, burke. And a Nigerian dance party devotee. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Hinky Dinky Time @ the top of the hour...JOIN ME.

www.wfmu.org...

11:32am Matt Fiveash:

Very bummed not to be able to go to IAH this summer, Doug. Aiming for next year. Glad for and jealous of your recent trip!

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

The coast of Maine and its peoples were as brimming with grace as ever, Matt.

🥁

11:46am doctorjazz:

Thanks for a great homecoming show. Doug!

11:47am Marie:

hello Doug's monkey! It figures you are a friendly monkey :>) I wish I could play the piano... do you like bananas?

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

So great to be back, doctorjazz!

11:49am Parq:

We have a new database coming into our shop at some (hopefully) near point in the future. I fear I will look like that chimp when I first address myself to it.

11:49am Marie:

@Doug's monkey: I hope you are not a chimera...for your sake

11:49am Doug's monkey:

@Marie
As you can see, I am improvising a song about my love for bananas.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
Try to use at least three fingers.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

Parq, have you considered throwing poop at it?

11:51am Parq:

Well, the chimp seems to be using eight, so I'm not sure how much diff that will make.

11:51am Parq:

UM, I think the tech staff must be doing that.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of slinging poop, HINKY DINKY TIME is up next on the Drummer Stream. Uncle Michael, the master poopslinger, will be presiding. Tune in (and wear goggles)!

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:52am Uncle Michael:

Well, if you trust them...

11:52am Marie:

UM's show is scatalicious!

11:56am Marie:

No, let me correct that, it is scandalously scatalicious (or should that be reserved for Dave the Spazz's show)

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

WFMU is a big tent, Marie. There is room for two.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thank you Doug. Welcome home. See you all shortly.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Thank YOU, my brother.

11:59am Marie:

Yes, room for all kinds of scat
