WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from December 8, 2024

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from December 8, 2024

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.

Listener comments!
	🕰 5:57pm WR: Lordy be, streaming along.
	5:58pm DJ Peter: Hold on! I'm Comin'! Hold on! Cos I'm Comin'!
	🕰 6:01pm Listener Gregory: Good evening, clockers!
	6:05pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	6:05pm DJ Peter: Great to see all of you: pot8o, Listener Gregory, WR!
	6:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "KC Counterpoint" by "Individuation" Like this! Hi DJ Peter and Timekeepers?
	6:07pm DJ Peter: Hi yourself doctorjazz?
	🕰 6:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:07 Excellent question!
	6:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "KC Counterpoint" by "Individuation" via Lydia Liebman: 'minimalist-inspired, 20th-century classical, and electronically-inflected modern jazz. Here "phenomenal" signals the opportunities and vicissitudes of navigating the material world; that which appears in our senses and the place in which our lived experience happens."
	6:13pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter and horologists. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend British West Indian director Steve McQueen's new feature BLITZ, in which both jazz and clocks feature prominently.
	6:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:13 Really? You are speaking my language(s)!
	6:15pm DJ Peter: Mrs. DJP will watch anything with Saoirse Ronan in it. She can even spell her name without looking it up (as I just did)
	🕰 6:18pm Listener Gregory: Internet hiccup?
	6:18pm pot8o: i'm only hearing split seconds of the track, with mostly dead air
	🕰 6:20pm Listener Gregory: It’s back! Damn, no John Cage retrospective today.
	6:21pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:15 I've heard the criticism that Sao… Ms. Ronen doesn't have enough to do in that movie, but I'm happy just to look at her, so. We'll watch anything that McQueen puts out. Happily, it's all very, very good.
	6:21pm DJ Peter: Sorry about that! John Cage will be back another day!
	6:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:07 Phone post (question mark and exclamation mark are right next to each other on my phone keyboard).
	🕰 6:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Yama Kawa Umi" by "Natsuki Tamura, Satoko Fujii, ... NatSat!
	6:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:21 I need to look up a pic of Steve McQueen so I can stop picturing the other guy.
	6:34pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:29 tbh I still picture the other guy. I think SM the director can handle this. It's not what he looks like. It's what he shows me.
	6:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Here comes lighter" by "Buechi - Hellmüller - Jer... Like the soft accompaniment of the button accordion.
	🕰 6:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Here comes lighter" by "Buechi - Hellmüller - Jer... That was nice. Must be a Delaware group.
	🕰 6:48pm Listener Gregory: That was a very good introduction, Peter. My understanding is that the S Korean president won’t be impeached, but his party will force him to resign in disgrace.
	6:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:48 I hope so. I was shocked that he wasn't impeached. I mean his party had the numbers but still...
	6:50pm DJ Peter: There was already so much scandal around this guy. And his wife!
	🕰 6:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Exemplum In Memorium Kwangju (1981)" by "Isang Yun" www.boosey.com... The music publisher has info on the event and the music and recommends what seems to be the recording you are playing.
	6:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:52 It's been recorded three times, I have two of them and preferred this one. (The third one is I think on a Japanese CD and I will eventually track it down. If my personal history as a collector is a guide.
	6:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:52 Sweet! That's a much cooler album cover. Sigh. Collected with FIVE of Yun's symphonies. Look I never claimed to be Phil Schaap.
	🕰 7:10pm WR: ↳ Song: "Exemplum In Memorium Kwangju (1981)" by "Isang Yun" en.wikipedia.org... The Wikipedia page for the event that inspired that composition.
	7:11pm Jeff g. via app: And not a minute too soon…
	7:12pm Jeff g. via app: (Sorry I’m late.)
	7:12pm DJ Peter: Welcome Jeff! THanks WR!
	7:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan (take 1) [Variety 515, Vocalion/Okeh 3809... Cootie WAS ON FIRE!
	7:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Master 131]" by "Duke Ellington and his ... I have a lot of this, but looking at the Mosaic box (out of print, but available).
	7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Master 131]" by "Duke Ellington and his ... wait two bass players credited? will have to dig more
	🕰 7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Caravan (take 1) [Variety 515, Vocalion/Okeh 3809... On this past Friday, Uncle Michael played a version of Caravan (by The Three Suns) and in his back announce teased that a whole program could be done of very different recordings of Caravan but deferred that to another time. Didn't realize he was foreshadowing your program.
	7:17pm Christina in Canada: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Decca 1876]" by "Mills Brothers" Divoon! Thank you DJ Peter! Hello all!
	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:16 More deja-fmu!
	7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Master 131]" by "Duke Ellington and his ... Hayes Alvis, not a familiar name...
	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:17 Christina! long time no see
	🕰 7:17pm Listener Gregory: Hmm, the Ellington small groups credit the song to Tizol; the Mills Bros to Ellington and Tizol.
	7:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Valaida & Lulle Elboys Ockester" this is the first recording of the lyrics, as far as I can tell
	7:22pm Christina in Canada: DJ Peter: sweet of you to recall me! It's darker earlier where I am, sitting at home enthralled with the programme and sipping spiked hot chocolate.
	7:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:22 oh that's brilliant. spiked with what? Canadian whiskey?
	7:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 I have read somewhere that Ellington did have 2 bass players for a short time (not those 2 names, though). Wellman Braud was in the band first, then Ellington found Jimmy Blanton and asked him to join the band, but didn't have the heart to let go of Braud. But Braud did leave the band shortly thereafter (if my memory serves me well).
	🕰 7:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:25 Who would stay, with Blanton playing next to them?
	7:26pm Christina in Canada: Triple Sec. At least half the name is French, Canadian enough for me!
	7:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:26 Exactly!
	7:27pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Ella Fitzgerald" horn section sounds vaguely menacing
	7:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:26 ah, the classic combo of chocolate and orange!
	7:28pm pot8o: almost like a broadway villain song
	7:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Ella Fitzgerald" Love Ella (nice collection of 50s Ellingtonians)!
	7:31pm DJ Peter: See I think THESE horns sound menacing!
	🕰 7:32pm WR: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Duke Ellington" The claves player is not specified. It could be the drummer but not sure.
	7:33pm doctorjazz: Ok, gotta run, catch the rest tomorrow! Night all!
	7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:32 Probably one of the brass players.
	7:34pm Jeff g. via app: Moar clavé!
	7:39pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter, y'all
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:39 C-Ø!!!
	🕰 7:48pm WR: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Valaida & Lulle Elboys Ockester" Why did I know nothing of Valaida Snow until today? Thank you for correcting that, Peter.
	🕰 7:49pm WR: ↳ Song: "Three Movements for Solo Clarinet and Ensemble: T... I'm still hearing Caravan.
	7:49pm DJ Peter: it's the clarinets
	🕰 8:06pm WR: ↳ Song: "Florida" by "Willem Breuker Collective" I'm subtitling this "Caravan Earworm Purgative". Unless, of course, they sneak in Caravan on me.
	🕰 8:20pm Listener Gregory: Breuker really cut his own way in Eurojazz.
	8:20pm Jon: Great set!
	🕰 8:22pm Listener Gregory: My niece called me a few minutes back, and I let her listen to a few seconds of the music. She said, “Yeah, this is what I was hoping not to hear.” Good work, DJP!
	8:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jon @8:20 Hi Jon!
	8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:22 But you told her I also gave a speech about democracy in East Asia, right?
	8:26pm doctorjazz: A Breuker set, saw him a few times, love his music, definitely catch it tomorrow!
	🕰 8:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:25 Uhhhh… we were discussing Xmas shopping, so no.
	8:42pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:22 Lol!
	🕰 8:47pm Listener Gregory: I’m using a recipe that says it should take 40 minutes to prepare. I started when the show began and now hope to begin eating shortly after it ends. I admittedly made some changes, but still…
	8:47pm DJ Peter: Hey chresti -- hello hello!
	🕰 8:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Black Narcissus" by "Mephista" Excellent album! In my humble opinion.
	8:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Black Narcissus" by "Mephista" Does this have something to do with the film Black Narcissus? (Wikipedia cites a review by WFMU's own djjj!)
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:51 as with all things Tzadik: a cinematic inspiration cannot be ruled out, yet can sometimes not be proven either
	🕰 8:57pm Listener Gregory: This was really my first exposure to Joe Henderson—not his early BlueNote records.
	🕰 8:58pm Listener Gregory: Good work, Peter! This one should go into the archives.
	8:58pm adamdoesit: My first exposure to Joe Henderson was late Joe Henderson: New York Reunion (1991). Thank you for the stay in your caravanserai, DJ Peter!
	8:59pm pot8o: thanks dj peter! have a great week everyone!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter! enjoy your time away
	🕰 9:01pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter!
	9:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:58 OMG while researching "Caravan" I came across a terrible junk webpage that was illustrated with British caravans (aka mid-century trailers). Ugh.
	9:01pm Christina in Canada: thank you DJ Peter! See you in the winter!
	9:02pm DJ Peter: Thanks WR, coelacnathø, LG, Christina, adamdoesit, pot8o, doc, chresti, everyone!
	12:14pm doctorjazz: I was psyched to tune in today for the Breuker, but the Kevin Norton track is also killer! Great mix of Klezmer, jazz, classical. LOVE Krakauer!. The Breuker was great as expected (that band was great live, glad I got to see them). Great last set! Thanks DJ Peter!

Listener comments!
	🕰 5:57pm WR: Lordy be, streaming along.
	5:58pm DJ Peter: Hold on! I'm Comin'! Hold on! Cos I'm Comin'!
	🕰 6:01pm Listener Gregory: Good evening, clockers!
	6:05pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	6:05pm DJ Peter: Great to see all of you: pot8o, Listener Gregory, WR!
	6:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "KC Counterpoint" by "Individuation" Like this! Hi DJ Peter and Timekeepers?
	6:07pm DJ Peter: Hi yourself doctorjazz?
	🕰 6:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @6:07 Excellent question!
	6:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "KC Counterpoint" by "Individuation" via Lydia Liebman: 'minimalist-inspired, 20th-century classical, and electronically-inflected modern jazz. Here "phenomenal" signals the opportunities and vicissitudes of navigating the material world; that which appears in our senses and the place in which our lived experience happens."
	6:13pm adamdoesit: Hi DJ Peter and horologists. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend British West Indian director Steve McQueen's new feature BLITZ, in which both jazz and clocks feature prominently.
	6:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:13 Really? You are speaking my language(s)!
	6:15pm DJ Peter: Mrs. DJP will watch anything with Saoirse Ronan in it. She can even spell her name without looking it up (as I just did)
	🕰 6:18pm Listener Gregory: Internet hiccup?
	6:18pm pot8o: i'm only hearing split seconds of the track, with mostly dead air
	🕰 6:20pm Listener Gregory: It’s back! Damn, no John Cage retrospective today.
	6:21pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:15 I've heard the criticism that Sao… Ms. Ronen doesn't have enough to do in that movie, but I'm happy just to look at her, so. We'll watch anything that McQueen puts out. Happily, it's all very, very good.
	6:21pm DJ Peter: Sorry about that! John Cage will be back another day!
	6:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @6:07 Phone post (question mark and exclamation mark are right next to each other on my phone keyboard).
	🕰 6:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Yama Kawa Umi" by "Natsuki Tamura, Satoko Fujii, ... NatSat!
	6:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @6:21 I need to look up a pic of Steve McQueen so I can stop picturing the other guy.
	6:34pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @6:29 tbh I still picture the other guy. I think SM the director can handle this. It's not what he looks like. It's what he shows me.
	6:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Here comes lighter" by "Buechi - Hellmüller - Jer... Like the soft accompaniment of the button accordion.
	🕰 6:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Here comes lighter" by "Buechi - Hellmüller - Jer... That was nice. Must be a Delaware group.
	🕰 6:48pm Listener Gregory: That was a very good introduction, Peter. My understanding is that the S Korean president won’t be impeached, but his party will force him to resign in disgrace.
	6:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:48 I hope so. I was shocked that he wasn't impeached. I mean his party had the numbers but still...
	6:50pm DJ Peter: There was already so much scandal around this guy. And his wife!
	🕰 6:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Exemplum In Memorium Kwangju (1981)" by "Isang Yun" www.boosey.com... The music publisher has info on the event and the music and recommends what seems to be the recording you are playing.
	6:55pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:52 It's been recorded three times, I have two of them and preferred this one. (The third one is I think on a Japanese CD and I will eventually track it down. If my personal history as a collector is a guide.
	6:58pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @6:52 Sweet! That's a much cooler album cover. Sigh. Collected with FIVE of Yun's symphonies. Look I never claimed to be Phil Schaap.
	🕰 7:10pm WR: ↳ Song: "Exemplum In Memorium Kwangju (1981)" by "Isang Yun" en.wikipedia.org... The Wikipedia page for the event that inspired that composition.
	7:11pm Jeff g. via app: And not a minute too soon…
	7:12pm Jeff g. via app: (Sorry I’m late.)
	7:12pm DJ Peter: Welcome Jeff! THanks WR!
	7:12pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan (take 1) [Variety 515, Vocalion/Okeh 3809... Cootie WAS ON FIRE!
	7:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Master 131]" by "Duke Ellington and his ... I have a lot of this, but looking at the Mosaic box (out of print, but available).
	7:15pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Master 131]" by "Duke Ellington and his ... wait two bass players credited? will have to dig more
	🕰 7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Caravan (take 1) [Variety 515, Vocalion/Okeh 3809... On this past Friday, Uncle Michael played a version of Caravan (by The Three Suns) and in his back announce teased that a whole program could be done of very different recordings of Caravan but deferred that to another time. Didn't realize he was foreshadowing your program.
	7:17pm Christina in Canada: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Decca 1876]" by "Mills Brothers" Divoon! Thank you DJ Peter! Hello all!
	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:16 More deja-fmu!
	7:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan [Master 131]" by "Duke Ellington and his ... Hayes Alvis, not a familiar name...
	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:17 Christina! long time no see
	🕰 7:17pm Listener Gregory: Hmm, the Ellington small groups credit the song to Tizol; the Mills Bros to Ellington and Tizol.
	7:19pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Valaida & Lulle Elboys Ockester" this is the first recording of the lyrics, as far as I can tell
	7:22pm Christina in Canada: DJ Peter: sweet of you to recall me! It's darker earlier where I am, sitting at home enthralled with the programme and sipping spiked hot chocolate.
	7:23pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:22 oh that's brilliant. spiked with what? Canadian whiskey?
	7:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:15 I have read somewhere that Ellington did have 2 bass players for a short time (not those 2 names, though). Wellman Braud was in the band first, then Ellington found Jimmy Blanton and asked him to join the band, but didn't have the heart to let go of Braud. But Braud did leave the band shortly thereafter (if my memory serves me well).
	🕰 7:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:25 Who would stay, with Blanton playing next to them?
	7:26pm Christina in Canada: Triple Sec. At least half the name is French, Canadian enough for me!
	7:27pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:26 Exactly!
	7:27pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Ella Fitzgerald" horn section sounds vaguely menacing
	7:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ Christina in Canada @7:26 ah, the classic combo of chocolate and orange!
	7:28pm pot8o: almost like a broadway villain song
	7:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Ella Fitzgerald" Love Ella (nice collection of 50s Ellingtonians)!
	7:31pm DJ Peter: See I think THESE horns sound menacing!
	🕰 7:32pm WR: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Duke Ellington" The claves player is not specified. It could be the drummer but not sure.
	7:33pm doctorjazz: Ok, gotta run, catch the rest tomorrow! Night all!
	7:33pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:32 Probably one of the brass players.
	7:34pm Jeff g. via app: Moar clavé!
	7:39pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Peter, y'all
	7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @7:39 C-Ø!!!
	🕰 7:48pm WR: ↳ Song: "Caravan" by "Valaida & Lulle Elboys Ockester" Why did I know nothing of Valaida Snow until today? Thank you for correcting that, Peter.
	🕰 7:49pm WR: ↳ Song: "Three Movements for Solo Clarinet and Ensemble: T... I'm still hearing Caravan.
	7:49pm DJ Peter: it's the clarinets
	🕰 8:06pm WR: ↳ Song: "Florida" by "Willem Breuker Collective" I'm subtitling this "Caravan Earworm Purgative". Unless, of course, they sneak in Caravan on me.
	🕰 8:20pm Listener Gregory: Breuker really cut his own way in Eurojazz.
	8:20pm Jon: Great set!
	🕰 8:22pm Listener Gregory: My niece called me a few minutes back, and I let her listen to a few seconds of the music. She said, “Yeah, this is what I was hoping not to hear.” Good work, DJP!
	8:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ Jon @8:20 Hi Jon!
	8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:22 But you told her I also gave a speech about democracy in East Asia, right?
	8:26pm doctorjazz: A Breuker set, saw him a few times, love his music, definitely catch it tomorrow!
	🕰 8:31pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:25 Uhhhh… we were discussing Xmas shopping, so no.
	8:42pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:22 Lol!
	🕰 8:47pm Listener Gregory: I’m using a recipe that says it should take 40 minutes to prepare. I started when the show began and now hope to begin eating shortly after it ends. I admittedly made some changes, but still…
	8:47pm DJ Peter: Hey chresti -- hello hello!
	🕰 8:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Black Narcissus" by "Mephista" Excellent album! In my humble opinion.
	8:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Black Narcissus" by "Mephista" Does this have something to do with the film Black Narcissus? (Wikipedia cites a review by WFMU's own djjj!)
	8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:51 as with all things Tzadik: a cinematic inspiration cannot be ruled out, yet can sometimes not be proven either
	🕰 8:57pm Listener Gregory: This was really my first exposure to Joe Henderson—not his early BlueNote records.
	🕰 8:58pm Listener Gregory: Good work, Peter! This one should go into the archives.
	8:58pm adamdoesit: My first exposure to Joe Henderson was late Joe Henderson: New York Reunion (1991). Thank you for the stay in your caravanserai, DJ Peter!
	8:59pm pot8o: thanks dj peter! have a great week everyone!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter! enjoy your time away
	🕰 9:01pm WR: Thank you! DJ Peter!
	9:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:58 OMG while researching "Caravan" I came across a terrible junk webpage that was illustrated with British caravans (aka mid-century trailers). Ugh.
	9:01pm Christina in Canada: thank you DJ Peter! See you in the winter!
	9:02pm DJ Peter: Thanks WR, coelacnathø, LG, Christina, adamdoesit, pot8o, doc, chresti, everyone!
	12:14pm doctorjazz: I was psyched to tune in today for the Breuker, but the Kevin Norton track is also killer! Great mix of Klezmer, jazz, classical. LOVE Krakauer!. The Breuker was great as expected (that band was great live, glad I got to see them). Great last set! Thanks DJ Peter!
