Listener comments!
	♥ 6:53pm DJ Peter: Hi everybody! It's almost... time...
	7:01pm Listener Gregory: Wait, is it Sunday morning???
	7:03pm Listener Gregory: Hello, DJP. I think I remembered in time this week.
	♥ 7:07pm DJ Peter: Hey LG: yeah, I through you with the same warm-up music that Jeff uses!
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter and clockers! I'd go see a band calling itself the Jazz Apples.
	7:08pm djnogoodnick: Here for the show! Hey DJP and clock-ers
	7:08pm Listener Gregory: How about Jazz Applies meets Blank Forms? Intriguing combo.
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Tape Loop B I" by "BlankFor.ms - Jason Moran - Ma... Oh, nice! I've been meaning to check this one out. Red Hood Records has a good batting average so far.
	♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:07 That's right! Everyone likes dem apples!
	♥ 7:09pm DJ Peter: Nick, really glad you're here! Jeff, no tennis tonight?
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm Jeff Golick: No tennis, alas. And I'm off (American) football, so.
	🕰 ♥ 7:12pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:08 The processing (or whatever) from BlackFor.ms is fairly subtle?
	♥ 7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:12 Depends on the track, you won't be surprised to hear.
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:12 Gotcha. And sorry: BLANKFor.ms
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm doctorjazz: Hello DJ Peter (no longer of De), and Time Lords!
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: Hi Doc! "Time Lords" I love it! "Clockers" has also been proposed by ADAMDOESIT.
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 I like Time Lords, too! This is a bit of a musical TARDIS, innit?
	♥ 7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 Sorry, that was Nick! Who of course has experience with the awesome nicknames.
	♥ 7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:16 Musicians might say: "ritard0-is"
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tape Loop B III" by "BlankFor.ms - Jason Moran - ... This is nice.
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:11 Not missing much (in Amereican Football, at least the NY versio). Went to my sister's for lunch, listened to the Jets/Dallas game, man, was that depressing (not if you're a Dallas fan...)
	🕰 ♥ 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:17 Giants were behind 20-0 and somehow managed to pull the game out (just ended). (Well, I hope it did... there were only 2 seconds left.)
	🕰 ♥ 7:21pm Listener Gregory: Peter, if you could play some "music to not slice open your finger while chopping vegetables by," that would be great. Thx.
	♥ 7:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:21 You didn't? Should we call 911? Just 90 seconds more of this disorientation...
	♥ 7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Dub Fable" by "GEORGE" LG is this better? Or worser?
	🕰 ♥ 7:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 No, I haven't drawn blood yet... I just need musical encouragement not to. Here I go! P.S. I got this George outtake EP. Not sure I really hear it (unlike the main album).
	♥ 7:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:26 Right after this, more rhythmic music: I promise!
	🕰 ♥ 7:29pm doctorjazz: Liked that set (didn't cut my finger either, but I'm too stuffed from my sister's to cook/eat anything).
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm adamdoesit: Hold that carrot steady while I hit it Yeah, I reckon that oughta get it Been choppin', and choppin' But I still got a long way to go
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Dub Fable" by "GEORGE" Anna Webber has a residency at The Stone (NYC) this week, hope I can get in (they don't sell advance tix, have to line up and buy them at the door. I have nightmares of shlepping from Joisey and getting turned away...) thestonenyc.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @7:33 Might try to catch one of the Webber hits, too, doc. Looking at Saturday, I think.
	🕰 ♥ 7:34pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Charlie Parker" Somewhere, Phil Schaap is smiling. And probably also talking.
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:33 Saturday, with Adam O'Farrell (who I've seen a couple of times, he's quite the trumper) sounds great!
	♥ 7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:34 His smile is only going to get bigger. Thanks for everything you did for all of us, Phil!
	♥ 7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:33 Really want there to be a second Webber/Morris Big Band album, stat!
	🕰 ♥ 7:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:34 That's funny-not even The Great Beyond can slow Schapps Amazing Vocal Chops!
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:36 Love the 1st, and saw the big band live, they were terriffic!
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Charlie Parker" I got the chance to talk to Kevin Sun when he released "<3 Bird" and I've reposted that interview: www.mixcloud.com...
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:37 I've only seen videos of them online, would love to hear them live! Do you remember the venue, Doc?
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 Adam O'Farrell also part of the <3 Bird project.
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 It was at Roulette-Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn!
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @7:41 I think I was there, too!
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:42 I believe you were!
	♥ 7:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:42 You guys coulda done the WFMU handshake!
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm doctorjazz: The Wednesday Webber Septet sounds interesting as well!
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm Listener Gregory: Striking how Bird's solo seemed to get more and more creative as he played.
	♥ 7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:40 Indeed he was. Is? When I listen to Bird I remember my friend Steve, one day I put on the Royal Roost recordings and he said "why do we ever listen to anything but Bird?"
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm doctorjazz: I like Roulette a whole lot (for practical reasons-when I shlep there from Staten Island or Joisey, I have always had a (relatively) easy time parking not far from the Venue (Atlantic Avenue is pretty deat at night).
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:43 Was thinking that wasn't the case with Gary's solo...
	♥ 7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:43 LG yeah! They're gonna trade 4's in a bit...
	♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 But there's so little Wardell Gray out there... I treasure what we have. His sound was much bigger than usual, I think.
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Cos Bird listened to everything. Mr. Nat Pierce and the Eastern Massachusetts All Stars!
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Charlie Parker" Have pretty much all this live stuff (inspired by the aforementioned Schapp), haven't pulled them in quite a while, though.
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 Yeah, that was unnecessarily bitchy of me. I retract!
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:43 I heard Webber with George live. She is a fantastic composer but also a great band member.
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:47 Don't! Returning to chop now. The knife made a move for my thumbnail, but I averted it.
	♥ 7:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:47 Wardell and Phil forgive you.
	🕰 ♥ 7:48pm doctorjazz: I enjoyed the Bird Bio, Stanley Crouch, Kansas City Lightning.
	♥ 7:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:48 I have a love/hate with Crouch's prose. When he's on there's no one better.
	🕰 ♥ 7:50pm adamdoesit: Seriously, tho, I wonder if the "why do we listen to anything else?" reaction (which I share) might in some way reflect Bird the heroin addict, if he mightn't waken in us something like his hunger for the shit to end all shit.
	7:51pm Dean: That's John Hollenbeck on GEORGE? Just returned from recorder lesson...
	♥ 7:52pm DJ Peter: Hi Dean: yes, John Hollenbeck. Adam: that's deep, seriously, I'm going to be thinking about that.
	🕰 ♥ 7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Anthony Braxton" This is GREAT!!! (have some, not all, of these Braxton/Bird recordigngs)
	♥ 7:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:58 When you have a contrabass clarinet, you should use it! Chekhov's rule.
	7:59pm Dean: Speaking of tape loops, etc., I've just learned that Chris Brown, who is doing a house concert soon in N. Berkeley, will close the show with his 2001 work "Branches," which evidently wowed the audience in SF last week. It so happens that yesterday I picked up the Tzadik 3CD set of works by The Hub, which includes Brown. I kick myself just about quarterly for failing to get the big Braxton/Bird box. I hve the hat one depicted on the playlist.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm Listener Gregory: It saddens me to think that I may never eat scrapple again.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm doctorjazz: I imagine it takes at least 2 people to carry in a contrabass clarinet.
	🕰 ♥ 8:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Schaaple from the Appel" by "Kevin Sun" Speaking of <3 Bird/Adam O'Farriill...
	♥ 8:02pm chresti: Hi Peter and clockers!
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Anthony Braxton" Because Jeff has eschewed bitchiness, I will take up the role to reveal that I had the Braxton/Bird box set and sold it back. I thought this selection was a lot better than the quartet versions in that set.
	♥ 8:03pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:01 As is often the case, Jeff anticipated me!
	♥ 8:04pm Aitch: wait a second? new show hello
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Schaaple from the Appel" by "Kevin Sun" My first time hearing this. I think I'll be listening to it in full tomorrow (before noon, of course).
	♥ 8:06pm chresti: I like fuji apples
	8:07pm Dean: With Braxton one must prepare to be put off by some tracks that later might or might not open themselves up to one's ears. A buddy of mine owned a record store in Whittier, CA. One of the regular customers was a "kid" (a young guy, maybe early 20s) who gave the proprietor a framed photograph of his father standing on a street in NYC with Bird. Dad was one of his trumpet players.
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm Doug Schulkind: Mary Lou Williams, great daughter of Pittsburgh!
	♥ 8:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Aitch @8:04 Welcome Aitch! If you're looking for NoGood Nick, he might be around in the chat! But yes, this is the new Sunday night 7-9pm show!
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:02 That's really helpful LG as I need reasons NOT to shell out for an expensive second hand copy. Dean may still kick himself four times yearly, though.
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @8:07 We sing the gospel of Mary Lou on the Drummer stream!
	🕰 ♥ 8:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Lady Penelope" by "The Theo Loevendie Three" Where does the Netherlands get all these drummers?
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:14 I know, right?!
	8:15pm bigplanetnoise: DJ Pete!! Sounding great!!
	8:15pm djnogoodnick: Yup I’m around! Listening to this fab drum sola while I finish dinner.
	♥ 8:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Esma" by "The Theo Loevendie Three" "What distinguishes the music is the Turkish rhythm patterns from drummer Engels, tart Morse-y tattoos: telegraphing -- not talking -- drums, as if paid for by the word, strong contrast to the polynoodle percussion sections on certain period works of, say, Pharoah Sanders or Hans Dulfer." (Kevin Whitehead, New Dutch Swing) N.B.: after a gig in Turkey in 1954, Loevendie met and eventually married a Turkish woman.
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: I believe I have finished slicing food objects, with minimal loss of life. But that is the kind of thinking that leads to complacency and future accidents.
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:15 Hi BPN! Glad you could make it!
	8:17pm Dean: After attending a performance by a local church choir of MLW's Mass (or was it Black Saint...?) in West Oakland, my wife and I bumped into Jerry Brown, then mayor, walking alone near the civic center.
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm Little Danny: hi peter! lovin this "esma" track!
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:02 I didn't even know about that box until Dean told me about it on some board or other (I was pleased having that single CD, which was pictured on the set list above). I'd have loved to have the box, even if I didn't like or listen to it, because I think at base I've got strong hoarder tendencies...
	♥ 8:18pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Esma" by "The Theo Loevendie Three" This is nice, when is this from?
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:18 Thanks Danny! Turkish rhythms are very danceable, it turns out.
	8:20pm Dean: I'll double your pleasure, doctorjazz, That hat release is 2xCD!
	8:21pm Dean: "Hoarder"?! I'm a frigging librarian.
	🕰 ♥ 8:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:20 True dat!
	♥ 8:21pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:17 Did he fall?
	🕰 ♥ 8:22pm Little Danny: whoa, i've never seen this dutch jazz scene comp... this track too is great
	8:22pm Dean: No, chresti, he didn't fall! "Bumped into..." C'mon!
	🕰 ♥ 8:23pm Little Danny: beautifully recorded too
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:22 They go for big bucks on the interwebs. (I only have bits and pieces.)
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Peter: And yeah, recorded by "Radio Nederland"
	♥ 8:24pm DJ Peter: Original recordings is the point: not just a collection, but assembled for Radio.
	♥ 8:25pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:22 I couldn't help it, I learned it from you!
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm Little Danny: yeah, wow, what a document! looking at the tracklist now
	🕰 ♥ 8:26pm Little Danny: man, just ferocious
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:25 Yeah, maybe we can pool our bucks and get a copy for the WFMU library.
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm Little Danny: :)
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "De Librije = The Library" by "Theo Loevendie Cons... That looks VERY COOL (Big Bennink/Breuker fan).
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: And this is from a wholly different 7 LP set
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mr. Brook" by "Theo Loevendie Consort" About $280 on Discogs (actually, for 7 LPs, not that bad in this inflated vinyl market...but still a pretty penny)
	♥ 8:30pm Mxter Baba: greetings, DJ Peter and WFMU palz! sounds magnificent in the stream
	🕰 ♥ 8:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "De Librije = The Library" by "Theo Loevendie Cons... That one's a bargain at $200...
	♥ 8:32pm DJ Peter: Hello Mxter B! Glad you could make it! So we're agreed? If 14 of us each agree to pay for one LP we can get both sets!
	🕰 ♥ 8:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "De Librije = The Library" by "Theo Loevendie Cons... I used to call my second wife my "consort." It was mentioned in the divorce papers.
	🕰 ♥ 8:32pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:32 in!
	♥ 8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 If they had no sense of humor they didn't deserve you LG.
	8:34pm Dean: Is that so, LG? By the way, have you seen the exhibition currently touring via the Met in NYC, now at SF's Legion of Honor, The Tudors?
	♥ 8:34pm DJ Peter: Imagine if our senses of humor could become grounds for divorce!
	🕰 ♥ 8:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:34 No. I have barely gone to civilization in the past year or so.
	🕰 ♥ 8:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:32 And I'll be magnanimous, knowing how big these must be and how much space they'll occupy, and volunteer to guard them at Chez DocJazz (don't mention it).
	♥ 8:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:36 Ha! I wonder who among us has the most storage space for new music?
	♥ 8:38pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @8:34 Or for not laughing at our jokes?
	8:38pm Dean: Sense of humor has in fact been a factor in marital dissolution proceedings, e.g., this 1970 case out of Idaho: "The Supreme Court...held that fact that former wife who had custody of couple's children married man of ‘questionable’ character who was 22 years older than wife, had been in much trouble with police over small crimes for many years, played childish pranks on police and law enforcement officers, and had sadistic sense of humor showed such change of circumstances as to justify change of custody to former husband who had remarried and had adequate home."
	🕰 ♥ 8:38pm doctorjazz: Just put together 10 record racks, now to organize the records and fill them (much bigger jub than putting the racks together)
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Commewijne" by "Theo Loevendie Quintet" "Loevendie identifies [Commewijne] as a typical Dutch chorale, like you'd find in Surinam; sounds a bit South African, reminder of Afrikaaaners' Dutch roots." (Kevin Whitehead, New Dutch Swing)
	🕰 ♥ 8:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:37 If you ask MsJazz, we ran out 10 years ago...
	🕰 ♥ 8:39pm Little Danny: ↳ chresti @8:38 haha YES
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:38 Yikes!
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Commewijne" by "Theo Loevendie Quintet" This is lovely!
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ chresti @8:38 That's adequate grounds in my book!
	8:43pm Dean: Not too many years ago I had to build a studio in our backyard to accommodate the records. It's almost at capacity. But I know that mine isn't "bigger" than others'. I gave up on that competition long ago.
	♥ 8:44pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:38 Thank goodness California judges don't consider character when ruling on a divorce case?
	♥ 8:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:43 That's amazing! An additional storage space (temperature controlled I presume).
	8:45pm Dean: Temperature controlled, indeed, but naturally. We're not far from the SF Bay.
	♥ 8:46pm chresti: ↳ doctorjazz @8:40 Definitely a deal breaker!
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm doctorjazz: Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records, is supposed to own 1.5 million records en.wikipedia.org...
	8:47pm Listener Gregory: Sat down to eat dinner and realized that I have left out the vegetable, which should have been the second largest ingredient. I blame Peter and the Time Lords for distracting me.
	♥ 8:48pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:45 What about moisture?
	🕰 ♥ 8:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:47 He must have quite a back yard storage unit...
	♥ 8:51pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 Salad last like the French do it?
	8:51pm Dean: The reason CA ignores fault is due to a professor of mine, the late beloved Herma Hill Kay. She promoted no-fault divorce in California, from where it reached other jurisdictions. Herma was amazing. When I was in law school, I'd sit with her on the bus ride to campus. She took public transportation! I took her family law class near the end of my three years at Berkeley. I got a little cocky and contrarian (who, me?!), offering opinions in class that ran against the norm. One day after class she remarked that she really enjoyed what I was doing, because it made the students think more deeply about alternative points of view. Bravo to me. Moisture hasn't been an issue. The bigger issue is sunlight, but I have adequate shades.
	8:51pm Dean: The backyard studio is tiny, at the maximum square footage before Berkeley gets all bureaucratic and stupid. No plumbing.
	🕰 ♥ 8:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:47 Of course, helps to be in the biz (I have a buddy who used to work for ASCAP-he collected I don't know how many thousands of records, lived in a house on Long Island, then decided to move to an apartment in Manhattan, obviously no space for them. He copied all the music to hard drive, then one day, I went over (had limited time), and, if you remember the old show Supermarket Sweep, I ran through his house with some boxes and loaded them up with I don't know how many CDs. We arranged the rest to be donated to WFMU).
	8:53pm Listener Gregory: @chresti, I’ll cook it up after I eat the veg-free dish. At least I remembered the fresh ginger from the farmers’ market.
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "This Time the Dream's on Me" by "Ralph Sharon" Also Ralph Sharon's birthday today! Would have been 100! But passed in 2015. Best known as Tony Bennett's pianist since the 1950s.
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the dreams, DJ Peter!
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:54 On me, Adam!
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "This Time the Dream's on Me" by "Ralph Sharon" This is the kind of loveliness I miss due to my cover-judging tendencies.
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, loved the show, and the hand, thanks, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 *and the hang, shudda said...
	♥ 8:56pm DJ Peter: I think the painting is actually of Harold Arlen and I forget by whom... hang on let me go the shelf...
	8:56pm Dean: "copied to hard drive": we are doomed. See Cliff Lynch's marvelous piece, Stewardship in the "Age of Algorithms." He doesn't poo-poo hard drives, but expresses a general concern about durable media.
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: Ralph Sharon!
	8:58pm djnogoodnick: Thanks DJ Pete!
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: He was a great player w Tony.
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, DJP - and hey, djnogoodnick!
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ djnogoodnick @8:58 Hi DJnogoodnick!
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. No grounds for divorce in this excellent show!
	8:59pm Dean: One MUST judge records by their covers, but this one is not at all off-putting. My favorite shitty cover is a recital of Telemann chamber works with a cover featuring a painting by Degas. The fuck?! I love it.
	8:59pm tracy in LA: thx!
	8:59pm Doug Schulkind: Superlative offerings, Peter! Hooray!
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody!
	♥ 9:01pm chresti: Thanks DJ Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from September 17, 2023

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.

	7:08pm djnogoodnick: Here for the show! Hey DJP and clock-ers
	7:08pm Listener Gregory: How about Jazz Applies meets Blank Forms? Intriguing combo.
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Tape Loop B I" by "BlankFor.ms - Jason Moran - Ma... Oh, nice! I've been meaning to check this one out. Red Hood Records has a good batting average so far.
	♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:07 That's right! Everyone likes dem apples!
	♥ 7:09pm DJ Peter: Nick, really glad you're here! Jeff, no tennis tonight?
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm Jeff Golick: No tennis, alas. And I'm off (American) football, so.
	🕰 ♥ 7:12pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:08 The processing (or whatever) from BlackFor.ms is fairly subtle?
	♥ 7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:12 Depends on the track, you won't be surprised to hear.
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:12 Gotcha. And sorry: BLANKFor.ms
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm doctorjazz: Hello DJ Peter (no longer of De), and Time Lords!
	♥ 7:15pm DJ Peter: Hi Doc! "Time Lords" I love it! "Clockers" has also been proposed by ADAMDOESIT.
	🕰 ♥ 7:16pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 I like Time Lords, too! This is a bit of a musical TARDIS, innit?
	♥ 7:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 Sorry, that was Nick! Who of course has experience with the awesome nicknames.
	♥ 7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:16 Musicians might say: "ritard0-is"
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Tape Loop B III" by "BlankFor.ms - Jason Moran - ... This is nice.
	🕰 ♥ 7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:11 Not missing much (in Amereican Football, at least the NY versio). Went to my sister's for lunch, listened to the Jets/Dallas game, man, was that depressing (not if you're a Dallas fan...)
	🕰 ♥ 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:17 Giants were behind 20-0 and somehow managed to pull the game out (just ended). (Well, I hope it did... there were only 2 seconds left.)
	🕰 ♥ 7:21pm Listener Gregory: Peter, if you could play some "music to not slice open your finger while chopping vegetables by," that would be great. Thx.
	♥ 7:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:21 You didn't? Should we call 911? Just 90 seconds more of this disorientation...
	♥ 7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Dub Fable" by "GEORGE" LG is this better? Or worser?
	🕰 ♥ 7:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:24 No, I haven't drawn blood yet... I just need musical encouragement not to. Here I go! P.S. I got this George outtake EP. Not sure I really hear it (unlike the main album).
	♥ 7:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:26 Right after this, more rhythmic music: I promise!
	🕰 ♥ 7:29pm doctorjazz: Liked that set (didn't cut my finger either, but I'm too stuffed from my sister's to cook/eat anything).
	🕰 ♥ 7:30pm adamdoesit: Hold that carrot steady while I hit it Yeah, I reckon that oughta get it Been choppin', and choppin' But I still got a long way to go
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Dub Fable" by "GEORGE" Anna Webber has a residency at The Stone (NYC) this week, hope I can get in (they don't sell advance tix, have to line up and buy them at the door. I have nightmares of shlepping from Joisey and getting turned away...) thestonenyc.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @7:33 Might try to catch one of the Webber hits, too, doc. Looking at Saturday, I think.
	🕰 ♥ 7:34pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Charlie Parker" Somewhere, Phil Schaap is smiling. And probably also talking.
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:33 Saturday, with Adam O'Farrell (who I've seen a couple of times, he's quite the trumper) sounds great!
	♥ 7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:34 His smile is only going to get bigger. Thanks for everything you did for all of us, Phil!
	♥ 7:36pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:33 Really want there to be a second Webber/Morris Big Band album, stat!
	🕰 ♥ 7:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:34 That's funny-not even The Great Beyond can slow Schapps Amazing Vocal Chops!
	🕰 ♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:36 Love the 1st, and saw the big band live, they were terriffic!
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Charlie Parker" I got the chance to talk to Kevin Sun when he released "<3 Bird" and I've reposted that interview: www.mixcloud.com...
	♥ 7:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:37 I've only seen videos of them online, would love to hear them live! Do you remember the venue, Doc?
	🕰 ♥ 7:40pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 Adam O'Farrell also part of the <3 Bird project.
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:39 It was at Roulette-Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn!
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @7:41 I think I was there, too!
	🕰 ♥ 7:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:42 I believe you were!
	♥ 7:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:42 You guys coulda done the WFMU handshake!
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm doctorjazz: The Wednesday Webber Septet sounds interesting as well!
	🕰 ♥ 7:43pm Listener Gregory: Striking how Bird's solo seemed to get more and more creative as he played.
	♥ 7:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:40 Indeed he was. Is? When I listen to Bird I remember my friend Steve, one day I put on the Royal Roost recordings and he said "why do we ever listen to anything but Bird?"
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm doctorjazz: I like Roulette a whole lot (for practical reasons-when I shlep there from Staten Island or Joisey, I have always had a (relatively) easy time parking not far from the Venue (Atlantic Avenue is pretty deat at night).
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:43 Was thinking that wasn't the case with Gary's solo...
	♥ 7:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:43 LG yeah! They're gonna trade 4's in a bit...
	♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:44 But there's so little Wardell Gray out there... I treasure what we have. His sound was much bigger than usual, I think.
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:44 Cos Bird listened to everything. Mr. Nat Pierce and the Eastern Massachusetts All Stars!
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Charlie Parker" Have pretty much all this live stuff (inspired by the aforementioned Schapp), haven't pulled them in quite a while, though.
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @7:46 Yeah, that was unnecessarily bitchy of me. I retract!
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:43 I heard Webber with George live. She is a fantastic composer but also a great band member.
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:47 Don't! Returning to chop now. The knife made a move for my thumbnail, but I averted it.
	♥ 7:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:47 Wardell and Phil forgive you.
	🕰 ♥ 7:48pm doctorjazz: I enjoyed the Bird Bio, Stanley Crouch, Kansas City Lightning.
	♥ 7:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:48 I have a love/hate with Crouch's prose. When he's on there's no one better.
	🕰 ♥ 7:50pm adamdoesit: Seriously, tho, I wonder if the "why do we listen to anything else?" reaction (which I share) might in some way reflect Bird the heroin addict, if he mightn't waken in us something like his hunger for the shit to end all shit.
	7:51pm Dean: That's John Hollenbeck on GEORGE? Just returned from recorder lesson...
	♥ 7:52pm DJ Peter: Hi Dean: yes, John Hollenbeck. Adam: that's deep, seriously, I'm going to be thinking about that.
	🕰 ♥ 7:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Anthony Braxton" This is GREAT!!! (have some, not all, of these Braxton/Bird recordigngs)
	♥ 7:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:58 When you have a contrabass clarinet, you should use it! Chekhov's rule.
	7:59pm Dean: Speaking of tape loops, etc., I've just learned that Chris Brown, who is doing a house concert soon in N. Berkeley, will close the show with his 2001 work "Branches," which evidently wowed the audience in SF last week. It so happens that yesterday I picked up the Tzadik 3CD set of works by The Hub, which includes Brown. I kick myself just about quarterly for failing to get the big Braxton/Bird box. I hve the hat one depicted on the playlist.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm Listener Gregory: It saddens me to think that I may never eat scrapple again.
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm doctorjazz: I imagine it takes at least 2 people to carry in a contrabass clarinet.
	🕰 ♥ 8:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Schaaple from the Appel" by "Kevin Sun" Speaking of <3 Bird/Adam O'Farriill...
	♥ 8:02pm chresti: Hi Peter and clockers!
	🕰 ♥ 8:02pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Scrapple from the Apple" by "Anthony Braxton" Because Jeff has eschewed bitchiness, I will take up the role to reveal that I had the Braxton/Bird box set and sold it back. I thought this selection was a lot better than the quartet versions in that set.
	♥ 8:03pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:01 As is often the case, Jeff anticipated me!
	♥ 8:04pm Aitch: wait a second? new show hello
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Schaaple from the Appel" by "Kevin Sun" My first time hearing this. I think I'll be listening to it in full tomorrow (before noon, of course).
	♥ 8:06pm chresti: I like fuji apples
	8:07pm Dean: With Braxton one must prepare to be put off by some tracks that later might or might not open themselves up to one's ears. A buddy of mine owned a record store in Whittier, CA. One of the regular customers was a "kid" (a young guy, maybe early 20s) who gave the proprietor a framed photograph of his father standing on a street in NYC with Bird. Dad was one of his trumpet players.
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm Doug Schulkind: Mary Lou Williams, great daughter of Pittsburgh!
	♥ 8:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Aitch @8:04 Welcome Aitch! If you're looking for NoGood Nick, he might be around in the chat! But yes, this is the new Sunday night 7-9pm show!
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:02 That's really helpful LG as I need reasons NOT to shell out for an expensive second hand copy. Dean may still kick himself four times yearly, though.
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ Doug Schulkind @8:07 We sing the gospel of Mary Lou on the Drummer stream!
	🕰 ♥ 8:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Lady Penelope" by "The Theo Loevendie Three" Where does the Netherlands get all these drummers?
	♥ 8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:14 I know, right?!
	8:15pm bigplanetnoise: DJ Pete!! Sounding great!!
	8:15pm djnogoodnick: Yup I’m around! Listening to this fab drum sola while I finish dinner.
	♥ 8:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Esma" by "The Theo Loevendie Three" "What distinguishes the music is the Turkish rhythm patterns from drummer Engels, tart Morse-y tattoos: telegraphing -- not talking -- drums, as if paid for by the word, strong contrast to the polynoodle percussion sections on certain period works of, say, Pharoah Sanders or Hans Dulfer." (Kevin Whitehead, New Dutch Swing) N.B.: after a gig in Turkey in 1954, Loevendie met and eventually married a Turkish woman.
	🕰 ♥ 8:16pm Listener Gregory: I believe I have finished slicing food objects, with minimal loss of life. But that is the kind of thinking that leads to complacency and future accidents.
	♥ 8:16pm DJ Peter: ↳ bigplanetnoise @8:15 Hi BPN! Glad you could make it!
	8:17pm Dean: After attending a performance by a local church choir of MLW's Mass (or was it Black Saint...?) in West Oakland, my wife and I bumped into Jerry Brown, then mayor, walking alone near the civic center.
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm Little Danny: hi peter! lovin this "esma" track!
	🕰 ♥ 8:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:02 I didn't even know about that box until Dean told me about it on some board or other (I was pleased having that single CD, which was pictured on the set list above). I'd have loved to have the box, even if I didn't like or listen to it, because I think at base I've got strong hoarder tendencies...
	♥ 8:18pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Esma" by "The Theo Loevendie Three" This is nice, when is this from?
	♥ 8:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:18 Thanks Danny! Turkish rhythms are very danceable, it turns out.
	8:20pm Dean: I'll double your pleasure, doctorjazz, That hat release is 2xCD!
	8:21pm Dean: "Hoarder"?! I'm a frigging librarian.
	🕰 ♥ 8:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:20 True dat!
	♥ 8:21pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:17 Did he fall?
	🕰 ♥ 8:22pm Little Danny: whoa, i've never seen this dutch jazz scene comp... this track too is great
	8:22pm Dean: No, chresti, he didn't fall! "Bumped into..." C'mon!
	🕰 ♥ 8:23pm Little Danny: beautifully recorded too
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:22 They go for big bucks on the interwebs. (I only have bits and pieces.)
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Peter: And yeah, recorded by "Radio Nederland"
	♥ 8:24pm DJ Peter: Original recordings is the point: not just a collection, but assembled for Radio.
	♥ 8:25pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:22 I couldn't help it, I learned it from you!
	🕰 ♥ 8:25pm Little Danny: yeah, wow, what a document! looking at the tracklist now
	🕰 ♥ 8:26pm Little Danny: man, just ferocious
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @8:25 Yeah, maybe we can pool our bucks and get a copy for the WFMU library.
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm Little Danny: :)
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "De Librije = The Library" by "Theo Loevendie Cons... That looks VERY COOL (Big Bennink/Breuker fan).
	♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: And this is from a wholly different 7 LP set
	🕰 ♥ 8:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mr. Brook" by "Theo Loevendie Consort" About $280 on Discogs (actually, for 7 LPs, not that bad in this inflated vinyl market...but still a pretty penny)
	♥ 8:30pm Mxter Baba: greetings, DJ Peter and WFMU palz! sounds magnificent in the stream
	🕰 ♥ 8:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "De Librije = The Library" by "Theo Loevendie Cons... That one's a bargain at $200...
	♥ 8:32pm DJ Peter: Hello Mxter B! Glad you could make it! So we're agreed? If 14 of us each agree to pay for one LP we can get both sets!
	🕰 ♥ 8:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "De Librije = The Library" by "Theo Loevendie Cons... I used to call my second wife my "consort." It was mentioned in the divorce papers.
	🕰 ♥ 8:32pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:32 in!
	♥ 8:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:32 If they had no sense of humor they didn't deserve you LG.
	8:34pm Dean: Is that so, LG? By the way, have you seen the exhibition currently touring via the Met in NYC, now at SF's Legion of Honor, The Tudors?
	♥ 8:34pm DJ Peter: Imagine if our senses of humor could become grounds for divorce!
	🕰 ♥ 8:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:34 No. I have barely gone to civilization in the past year or so.
	🕰 ♥ 8:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:32 And I'll be magnanimous, knowing how big these must be and how much space they'll occupy, and volunteer to guard them at Chez DocJazz (don't mention it).
	♥ 8:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:36 Ha! I wonder who among us has the most storage space for new music?
	♥ 8:38pm chresti: ↳ DJ Peter @8:34 Or for not laughing at our jokes?
	8:38pm Dean: Sense of humor has in fact been a factor in marital dissolution proceedings, e.g., this 1970 case out of Idaho: "The Supreme Court...held that fact that former wife who had custody of couple's children married man of ‘questionable’ character who was 22 years older than wife, had been in much trouble with police over small crimes for many years, played childish pranks on police and law enforcement officers, and had sadistic sense of humor showed such change of circumstances as to justify change of custody to former husband who had remarried and had adequate home."
	🕰 ♥ 8:38pm doctorjazz: Just put together 10 record racks, now to organize the records and fill them (much bigger jub than putting the racks together)
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Commewijne" by "Theo Loevendie Quintet" "Loevendie identifies [Commewijne] as a typical Dutch chorale, like you'd find in Surinam; sounds a bit South African, reminder of Afrikaaaners' Dutch roots." (Kevin Whitehead, New Dutch Swing)
	🕰 ♥ 8:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:37 If you ask MsJazz, we ran out 10 years ago...
	🕰 ♥ 8:39pm Little Danny: ↳ chresti @8:38 haha YES
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:38 Yikes!
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Commewijne" by "Theo Loevendie Quintet" This is lovely!
	🕰 ♥ 8:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ chresti @8:38 That's adequate grounds in my book!
	8:43pm Dean: Not too many years ago I had to build a studio in our backyard to accommodate the records. It's almost at capacity. But I know that mine isn't "bigger" than others'. I gave up on that competition long ago.
	♥ 8:44pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:38 Thank goodness California judges don't consider character when ruling on a divorce case?
	♥ 8:44pm DJ Peter: ↳ Dean @8:43 That's amazing! An additional storage space (temperature controlled I presume).
	8:45pm Dean: Temperature controlled, indeed, but naturally. We're not far from the SF Bay.
	♥ 8:46pm chresti: ↳ doctorjazz @8:40 Definitely a deal breaker!
	🕰 ♥ 8:47pm doctorjazz: Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records, is supposed to own 1.5 million records en.wikipedia.org...
	8:47pm Listener Gregory: Sat down to eat dinner and realized that I have left out the vegetable, which should have been the second largest ingredient. I blame Peter and the Time Lords for distracting me.
	♥ 8:48pm chresti: ↳ Dean @8:45 What about moisture?
	🕰 ♥ 8:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:47 He must have quite a back yard storage unit...
	♥ 8:51pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 Salad last like the French do it?
	8:51pm Dean: The reason CA ignores fault is due to a professor of mine, the late beloved Herma Hill Kay. She promoted no-fault divorce in California, from where it reached other jurisdictions. Herma was amazing. When I was in law school, I'd sit with her on the bus ride to campus. She took public transportation! I took her family law class near the end of my three years at Berkeley. I got a little cocky and contrarian (who, me?!), offering opinions in class that ran against the norm. One day after class she remarked that she really enjoyed what I was doing, because it made the students think more deeply about alternative points of view. Bravo to me. Moisture hasn't been an issue. The bigger issue is sunlight, but I have adequate shades.
	8:51pm Dean: The backyard studio is tiny, at the maximum square footage before Berkeley gets all bureaucratic and stupid. No plumbing.
	🕰 ♥ 8:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:47 Of course, helps to be in the biz (I have a buddy who used to work for ASCAP-he collected I don't know how many thousands of records, lived in a house on Long Island, then decided to move to an apartment in Manhattan, obviously no space for them. He copied all the music to hard drive, then one day, I went over (had limited time), and, if you remember the old show Supermarket Sweep, I ran through his house with some boxes and loaded them up with I don't know how many CDs. We arranged the rest to be donated to WFMU).
	8:53pm Listener Gregory: @chresti, I’ll cook it up after I eat the veg-free dish. At least I remembered the fresh ginger from the farmers’ market.
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "This Time the Dream's on Me" by "Ralph Sharon" Also Ralph Sharon's birthday today! Would have been 100! But passed in 2015. Best known as Tony Bennett's pianist since the 1950s.
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the dreams, DJ Peter!
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:54 On me, Adam!
	🕰 ♥ 8:54pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "This Time the Dream's on Me" by "Ralph Sharon" This is the kind of loveliness I miss due to my cover-judging tendencies.
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, loved the show, and the hand, thanks, DJ Peter!
	🕰 ♥ 8:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 *and the hang, shudda said...
	♥ 8:56pm DJ Peter: I think the painting is actually of Harold Arlen and I forget by whom... hang on let me go the shelf...
	8:56pm Dean: "copied to hard drive": we are doomed. See Cliff Lynch's marvelous piece, Stewardship in the "Age of Algorithms." He doesn't poo-poo hard drives, but expresses a general concern about durable media.
	8:57pm Listener Gregory: Ralph Sharon!
	8:58pm djnogoodnick: Thanks DJ Pete!
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: He was a great player w Tony.
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, DJP - and hey, djnogoodnick!
	🕰 ♥ 8:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ djnogoodnick @8:58 Hi DJnogoodnick!
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Peter. No grounds for divorce in this excellent show!
	8:59pm Dean: One MUST judge records by their covers, but this one is not at all off-putting. My favorite shitty cover is a recital of Telemann chamber works with a cover featuring a painting by Degas. The fuck?! I love it.
	8:59pm tracy in LA: thx!
	8:59pm Doug Schulkind: Superlative offerings, Peter! Hooray!
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: Thanks everybody!
	♥ 9:01pm chresti: Thanks DJ Peter!
