	7:17pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Mute Massaker" by "Caspar Brötzmann" Is this Jazz? Is this Rock? Does it matter? I file Caspar B in Jazz next to his papa.
	7:19pm doctorjazz: Peter Brotzmann's kid? Bit of a chip off the old block, intense stuff!
	7:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Mute Massaker" by "Caspar Brötzmann" I haven't heard Caspar's music, not new though, these are over 20 years old.
	7:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Connection" by "Marc Ribot, Ceramic Dog" Everything these days seems to feature Ches Smith, he's ubiquitous.
	7:34pm Listener Gregory: David, please don’t cross any genres. It’s against the Laws of Nature! Good evening, deevs!
	7:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:34 Hey, LG!
	7:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Better & Better (with Anna Webber)" by "Christoph... Anna Webber I've gotten to see (and Dave Sewelson).
	7:39pm Listener Gregory: Hey, @doctorj! I got this Ches Smith in a shipment but haven’t gotten to it yet.
	7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:39 Have seen Ches Smith in other leader's bands, not in his own. This track sounds cool!
	7:44pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Maintain Control" by "Jayne Cortez And The Firesp... I am not inviting this person to my party.
	7:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:40 Jeff G has played a bit of this too. It's very diverse, apparently.
	7:51pm Listener Gregory: This is a great set, even if it is sinful.
	7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Howard Beach Memoirs" by "Power Tools" This was such a great group, but they only put out one studio album (plus one live that has mostly the same songs). Frisell rocking out with an awesome rhythm section.
	7:55pm doctorjazz: Snow we're in a set where I know and have the albums (I'm getting out of date...)
	8:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:55 *Now we're in a set...shudda read...
	8:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:02 The snow is general over New Jersey!
	8:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:08 It has melted (Puppy Laila LOVED it!)
	8:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Parish of Tama (Ossuary Dub)" by "Painkiller" The sound of Zorn! (He's playing with his New Masada Quartet in Brooklyn in the next few months).
	8:15pm Listener Gregory: Was Naked City the first band that could really rock out AND do free improvisation?
	8:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:15 There was a No Wave scene in the late 70s, think much of it would fit that description (and I think Naked City was a bit later, but I could be wrong here)
	8:21pm doctorjazz: Going to pick up my Grandma pizza pie.
	8:21pm Listener Gregory: You might be right. I’ll have to investigate.
	8:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Voice of Chunk" by "The Lounge Lizards" I did get to see this group back in the day...
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: Arrrggghhhh!
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: There’s no hiding Mary Halvorson.
	8:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:28 Why would one want to?
	8:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @8:38 True. Just hire someone else if you don't want distinctiveness.
	8:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:17 DNA (Arto Linsay's 1st band) quickly. comes to mind. For that mater, Ornette's Prime Time Dancing in your HEad was 1972.
	8:50pm Dean: I'd guess that Zorn was contemporaneous with the No Wave scene, a perfect combination. My intro to Zorn was much later, '88, when Kronos Quartet performed "Forbidden" Fruit on their Winter Was Hard album. DNA was great, as was Mars.
	8:51pm Observations: This is from 1971, won't have time for it tonight unfortunately, but I've played it on my show before. www.cherryred.co.uk...
	8:53pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, I don’t think Dancing in Your Head had much rock in it. Later Prime Time albums definitely did.
	8:53pm Observations: Henry Cow started in 1968
	8:54pm Dean: "Septober Energy" is top-notch, great album. I got to hear Tippett at Victo with Mujician. Amazing.
	8:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:53 I think it rocks pretty good...
	8:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @8:54 I can't believe I'm considering they DAC/Preamp/streamer...out of my mind (but that's not news)
	9:01pm Dean: Consider, doctorjazz, that I'm trying to figure out how to acquire two $45k monophonic amplifiers. Your desire is far more prudent.
	9:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @9:01 I figure, it's my daughter's money, their loss...
	9:02pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, which DAC/streamer? Will have to relisten to Dancing.
	9:02pm Dean: Precisely! My kids don't really need to go to college.
	9:04pm Dean: The amps I want: https://www.linn.co.uk/us/power-amps/klimax-solo-800?utm_id=06-02-2024
	9:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:02 Bricasti m12 (a friend of a friend is selling this).
	9:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @9:04 The newest Linn stuff as NOT priced for normal people....
	9:08pm Listener Gregory: Dean, I fear this might be your retirement savings that you’d be spending. Hopefully your kids could support you and your stereo.
	9:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Phosphorus" by "Linda May Han Oh" Got to see Oh twice, once with others, once with her own group. I was supposed to see her again a few weeks ago with Vijay Iyer and Tyshawn Sorey, but another bass player sat in for her that night.
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, looks very nice! But it does seem like a luxury.
	9:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:14 No question...
	9:27pm Listener Gregory: I heard the Song X band on their one tour. It is crazy that no live album was released. Truly awesome show with multiple spine-tingling moments.
	9:27pm Andrew Waterloo: this is a smokin set, I should be baking.. but I'm just gelling
	9:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song X" by "Pat Metheny / Ornette Coleman" Haven't heard this in a long time-made me rethink Metheney (who's playing in Joisey in a few months)
	9:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:27 Jealous!!! (I did get to see Prime Time and Ornette's Quartet, though)
	9:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:14 (I've heard the DAC part of it (the Bricasti M1), in my friend's system, it's fabulous (but the rest of his system is of matching quality).
	9:31pm Dean: Great sound is not a luxury.
	9:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @9:31 Looking at the Linn page you linked, there are some Linn amps that don't cost as much as 2 cars...
	9:38pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta go, 'twas a cool show, thanks, David. Night all!
	9:38pm Dean: I have always spent more on amplifiers than on cars. It's a simple matter of priorities.
	9:41pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Blue Thought Particles" by "Titan to Tachyons" www.tzadik.com...
	9:41pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Blue Thought Particles" by "Titan to Tachyons" "Born in New Zealand and now residing in New York, Sally Gates is a powerful young guitarist with a striking compositional vision."
	9:44pm Listener Gregory: Interesting piece. I have to go shortly. Thanks a lot, David.
	10:00pm Observations: Thanks! See you next week

	9:14pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, looks very nice! But it does seem like a luxury.
	9:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:14 No question...
	9:27pm Listener Gregory: I heard the Song X band on their one tour. It is crazy that no live album was released. Truly awesome show with multiple spine-tingling moments.
	9:27pm Andrew Waterloo: this is a smokin set, I should be baking.. but I'm just gelling
	9:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Song X" by "Pat Metheny / Ornette Coleman" Haven't heard this in a long time-made me rethink Metheney (who's playing in Joisey in a few months)
	9:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:27 Jealous!!! (I did get to see Prime Time and Ornette's Quartet, though)
	9:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:14 (I've heard the DAC part of it (the Bricasti M1), in my friend's system, it's fabulous (but the rest of his system is of matching quality).
	9:31pm Dean: Great sound is not a luxury.
	9:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @9:31 Looking at the Linn page you linked, there are some Linn amps that don't cost as much as 2 cars...
	9:38pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta go, 'twas a cool show, thanks, David. Night all!
	9:38pm Dean: I have always spent more on amplifiers than on cars. It's a simple matter of priorities.
	9:41pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Blue Thought Particles" by "Titan to Tachyons" www.tzadik.com...
	9:41pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Blue Thought Particles" by "Titan to Tachyons" "Born in New Zealand and now residing in New York, Sally Gates is a powerful young guitarist with a striking compositional vision."
	9:44pm Listener Gregory: Interesting piece. I have to go shortly. Thanks a lot, David.
	10:00pm Observations: Thanks! See you next week
