	7:20pm Listener Gregory: Good evening, David and deevs! I don't know much about Bailey but am a Motian fan from way back. His trio with Frisell and Lovano would leave me flattened every time I saw them.
	7:26pm Observations: 👋👋👋👋👋
	7:34pm Listener Gregory: Someone asked me to send her an audio letter once, but I misunderstood and sent her a recording of me saying “h.” It was not well received.
	7:52pm Listener Gregory: Who are the other members of this trio, David? I have a lot of guesses, all of them wrong.
	7:53pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:52 David Izenzon, Charles Brackeen
	7:55pm Observations: ↳ Song: "An Announcement; DB / WG 1" by "Derek Bailey & Co... WG = tap dancer Will Gaines www.theguardian.com...
	7:58pm Observations: ↳ Song: "An Announcement; DB / WG 1" by "Derek Bailey & Co... Recorded live at The Klinker, London on Thursday 24th August 2000
	7:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @7:53 EXACTLY my guess! OK, never thought of them.
	8:10pm Listener Gregory: I believe this “Dance” is a Motion tune, which he often played later in his life.
	8:12pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 correct, and there's a studio version on the album of the same name I played before
	8:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Dance" by "Paul Motian Trio" I'm so used to Motian in more "mainstream" contexts, Frissell, Evans, etc, interesting hear this live "out" piece!
	8:13pm doctorjazz: Been cooking and listening, getting ready for dinner tonight and upcoming family Chanukah party.
	8:14pm doctorjazz: Hey, LG, got any doubles you want to trade? (I'm finally organizing the "on deck" pile on the floor, putting them into racks, finding doubles I purchased).
	8:15pm doctorjazz: Gotta check on my Miso Chicken...
	8:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dance" by "Paul Motian Trio" Wow, Motian gone wild!
	8:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:14 I don't think I do at the moment (that I know of), but let me check things out over the next couple of days.
	8:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:12 His work in the early Jarrett quartet was also kind of out there, which people forget about after decades of the "Standards" Keith Jarrett.
	8:23pm Listener Gregory: OK, I’m taking my pants off right now.
	8:38pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Duo in Concert (Groningen)" by "Derek Bailey & Pa... Mastered by Jim O’Rourke at Steamroom. Artwork and design by Robert Beatty.
	8:39pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Duo in Concert (Groningen)" by "Derek Bailey & Pa... “This is one of those moments that we’re always hoping for, and it's so rare. And it's so hard to talk about, because it's so beautiful. It's like you're seeing some new species of plant that you never knew existed or something.” – Bill Frisell
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: I assume they’re going to break out in Someday My Prince Will Come at any moment.
	🥁 8:59pm WR: ↳ Song: "Introduction / Advertisement" by "Derek Bailey" Hi, have been listening in and out since the beginning. That Bailey advert is incredible. Loved it.
	8:59pm doctorjazz: OK, dinner done, just going to hang for a bit, take in the sounds.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:15 Wait, what is miso chicken???
	9:01pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "For A Free Portugal" by "Charlie Haden" I don't think I really knew at the time how Portugal was governed by an oppressive dictatorship into the 1970s. OK, I was in high school or something, but even afterwards I didn't know for a long time.
	🥁 9:04pm WR: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Paul Motian" I missed this interview. Dinner talk took priority at that time. Hopefully will be able to listen to it from the archive. I do have to note that I am on team Mo-tee-an with Motian name pronunciation. Although the man himself resigned to jazz people calling him Mo-shun, he got tired of correcting people. But his family name is Mo-tee-an jazzcloset.blogspot.com... Perhaps a quibble and one I should have mentioned at the beginning of the program. Thought I could let it go, but whatever.
	🥁 9:05pm WR: And a nice succinct bio by Motian's nephew. paulmotian.com...
	🥁 9:06pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:59 Miso chicken I run away even before you scare me.
	9:07pm Observations: ↳ Song: "A Wanderer From The British World Of Fashion" by ... www.discogs.com...
	9:08pm Observations: ↳ Song: "A Wanderer From The British World Of Fashion" by ... all titles on side two are from Byron's Don Juan
	🥁 9:09pm WR: Sorry, David, that you have to put up with LG, doc & I random chatting while you try to focus on your program.
	9:09pm Observations: no worries
	9:10pm Observations: 😄😎😄😎🙏
	9:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:59 NY Times Recipe: cooking.nytimes.com... Adjusted it a bit, added some soy sauce and garlic, put the chicken on a bed of sliced onions and potatoes. Great meal! (sorry for another food post-I am enjoying the music and interview)
	9:12pm doctorjazz: (As a lapsed guitar player, I reallly do like to ear Bailey's comments and playing)
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:04 I was corrected to say "Mo-tee-an" at some point in the previous century and then was told that this was a hypercorrection, and in fact "motion" was correct. As a result, I am not going to change again and will say "motion" until the day I die.
	🥁 9:15pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @9:12 I've got some chicken in the freezer. Miso chicken might be a good option.
	9:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @9:12 That looks very good, though the cooking time seems a bit short for full-sized chicken thighs with the bone. David, you ought to have a recipes show some time!
	9:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @9:15 MollyJazz, our very picky eater. gave it thumbs up...
	9:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:16 Cooking times in Times recipes are for those that have a sous chef doing the scut work...
	9:18pm Observations: stay till the end of tonight's show for some UNRELEASED unhinged live jams by Derek Bailey + Milford Graves + Min Tanaka
	🥁 9:20pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:14 yeah, I know. Paul Motian endorses your choice. blogger.googleusercontent.com...
	9:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mushi Mushi" by "Paul Motian Trio" More recordings by this trio than I would have guessed, they're terriffic!
	9:21pm Dean: Stephen Paul Motian. Npr.org. Retrieved April 11, 2016. "His surname is Armenian, and is often mispronounced 'Moe-tee-un;' however, Paul Motian pronounced it 'MO-shun.'" WP
	9:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Mushi Mushi" by "Paul Motian Trio" It seems that Brackeen almost disappeared from the scene after playing with Motian. He recorded three albums in 10 years later (this from Wikipedia) and then stopped (recording).
	🥁 9:26pm WR: Mr. Mo-Tee-YuN, although his family and name are from Armenia, had this to say: blogger.googleusercontent.com...
	🥁 9:28pm WR: ↳ Song: "Appleyard: Corporate Raider" by "Derek Bailey" Eat it! On behalf of house of Appleyard. This goes hard.
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: To all, putting my fingers in my ears: La La La La! Motion, Motion, Motion! I can't hear you! La La La La!
	🥁 9:31pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:28 You mustn't miss the special message from Derek Bailey. David, these "chats" from Bailey are gems. Loving them.
	9:32pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:31 Ditto.
	9:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @9:31 What WR said!
	9:36pm Observations: 🙏🙏😎
	9:38pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Appleyard: Corporate Raider" by "Derek Bailey" www.discogs.com...
	9:38pm Observations: ↳ Song: "More Explanation" by "Derek Bailey" www.discogs.com...
	9:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rebica" by "Paul Motian" Charlie Haden bass (sounds like him), Sam Brown, guitar (not a fanmiliar name to me)
	9:45pm Listener Gregory: Whoever Brown is, he’s doing a pretty good job in high company here.
	9:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rebica" by "Paul Motian" Great track, again, didn't think of Motian's music as being "out", this free improv is very cool! (his later recordings aren't out, had his electric band, his Broadway series)
	9:49pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "MMD" DANCE: MMD, WITH TANAKA A DANCER joined two musicians in the hourlong choreographic jam session presented Wednesday night at the Japan Society by a trio called MMD. Taking its name from the first initials of its members - Min Tanaka, dancer; Milford Graves, percussionist, and Derek Bailey, guitarist -MMD appears to strive for a vitality akin to that of a good jazz combo. And its three members are certainly accomplished in their fields. But what made their event puzzling rather than invigorating was Mr. Tanaka's performing manner. Wearing a loosely fitting blue costume, he tottered stiffly about, occasionally taking a few pugnacious swats at the air, as if practicing some form of martial-arts drill. But usually his gestures were so staccato and disconnected that he could have been an automaton. After leaving the stage for a few minutes, he returned totally nude and crouched and stood upright like a caveman learning to walk. He returned to some of the same kinds of disjointed steps that he had introduced in the opening section, then staggered with great agitation across the apron of the stage. He also did some grunting and groaning. Having previously suggested a robot and a caveman, he now could have been someone suffering from a breakdown. And when he put on the blue costume again, he continued to twitch and flail. No matter how violently or mechanically he moved, Mr. Tanaka's facial expression remained almost totally blank. This stoniness, combined with the lack of flow in the kinds of steps he favored, gave his dancing an odd emotional range for, where as his robotized and Neanderthal movements were those of beings who were not fully human, his agitation was that of someone human on the verge of falling apart. Thus his performance, though it held the attention, was also rather dismaying and, because there was no apparent dramatic motivation for any of the sequences, one could only wonder why MMD chose to have the choreographic aspect of its presentation look this way. Jack Anderson - NYT April 26, 1982 www.nytimes.com...
	9:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @9:46 Though, the free improve Motian (or Mo-tee-an) is a better fit for a program with Derek Bailey, that's for sure.
	9:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Observations @9:49 Sounds like it would have been a trip to attend...
	9:54pm Dean: Min Tanaka's work with Bailey is beautiful, even exclusively audio.
	9:56pm Observations: The article I posted is from 1982, the music I'm playing is from 1987
	9:56pm Listener Gregory: So MMD… more performing without pants!
	9:56pm Observations: ↳ Observations @9:56 just to clarify
	9:57pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:56 lol I never thought of that but you are right!!
	🥁 9:58pm WR: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "MMD" Graves did several projects with Tanaka. Have seen some vids/films. First time hearing them with Bailey.
	9:58pm doctorjazz: About the end, great tributes, thanks David!
	9:59pm Observations: ↳ WR @9:58 Bailey & Tanaka did a few things, including a VHS tape and this www.discogs.com...
	9:59pm Observations: going a little long tonight
	10:04pm Listener Gregory: Great idea for a show and very well executed. Thanks a lot, David!
	10:06pm doctorjazz: Bravo!!!
	🥁 10:07pm WR: Thank you! David! Laters all.
	10:08pm Observations: thanks I'll be back next week

	9:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rebica" by "Paul Motian" Great track, again, didn't think of Motian's music as being "out", this free improv is very cool! (his later recordings aren't out, had his electric band, his Broadway series)
	9:49pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "MMD" DANCE: MMD, WITH TANAKA A DANCER joined two musicians in the hourlong choreographic jam session presented Wednesday night at the Japan Society by a trio called MMD. Taking its name from the first initials of its members - Min Tanaka, dancer; Milford Graves, percussionist, and Derek Bailey, guitarist -MMD appears to strive for a vitality akin to that of a good jazz combo. And its three members are certainly accomplished in their fields. But what made their event puzzling rather than invigorating was Mr. Tanaka's performing manner. Wearing a loosely fitting blue costume, he tottered stiffly about, occasionally taking a few pugnacious swats at the air, as if practicing some form of martial-arts drill. But usually his gestures were so staccato and disconnected that he could have been an automaton. After leaving the stage for a few minutes, he returned totally nude and crouched and stood upright like a caveman learning to walk. He returned to some of the same kinds of disjointed steps that he had introduced in the opening section, then staggered with great agitation across the apron of the stage. He also did some grunting and groaning. Having previously suggested a robot and a caveman, he now could have been someone suffering from a breakdown. And when he put on the blue costume again, he continued to twitch and flail. No matter how violently or mechanically he moved, Mr. Tanaka's facial expression remained almost totally blank. This stoniness, combined with the lack of flow in the kinds of steps he favored, gave his dancing an odd emotional range for, where as his robotized and Neanderthal movements were those of beings who were not fully human, his agitation was that of someone human on the verge of falling apart. Thus his performance, though it held the attention, was also rather dismaying and, because there was no apparent dramatic motivation for any of the sequences, one could only wonder why MMD chose to have the choreographic aspect of its presentation look this way.
