Listener comments!
	6:59pm Listener Gregory: I have deviated from the starting time by 2 minutes. I hope that is in the spirit of the show.
	7:06pm Listener Gregory: This is a great idea for a show, David.
	7:06pm Observations: Good evening! It’s Hellraiser end of year fundraising. If want to help WFMU and support my sho please use this link. Thanks for your support! pledge.wfmu.org...
	7:07pm Observations: *show
	🥁 7:11pm WR: Hi David, LG, those reading or yet to arrive.
	7:18pm Listener Gregory: Interesting switch on the title here. Or could it have been a record company error? I remember how much this record puzzled me in 1982, just after I had gotten used to Ornette's acoustic groups. Hello, @WR.
	7:20pm Observations: He seems to have started calling it Job Mob then switched to Mob Job. Not sure of how/why
	7:49pm Listener Gregory: I realize he is controversial, but I feel that there is value in Ornette Coleman's work.
	🥁 7:55pm WR: Ornette controversial? I've decided that I'm not going to read any more by or about Greil Marcus until I see a few photos of him between the age of 16 to 19.
	🥁 8:02pm WR: This Collette Polynesia album is so fun and lovely.
	8:04pm Listener Gregory: I am excited to say that I have never heard of him or it. In 1962 I was very conservative about music; and also, I wasn't tall enough to reach the radio. I believe I did know most of the words to "How Much Is That Doggy in the Window." (Please don't test me now.)
	8:12pm Dean: I really only dove into OC with this Song X. A story I've recounted before here: In early 2019 I moved my elderly mother from Southern California to an assisted living facility just blocks from my house in Berkeley. A month or so into her stay I dropped by to learn that the staff was celebrating Ornette's birthday. They played Shape of Jazz to Come for the residents, most of whom were 80+. My mom was 90. It appeared to me that everybody dug it. So, "controversial"? I don't think so.
	8:12pm Listener Gregory: I heard Metheny and Ornette play a concert in the tour supporting this album, and it was one of those experiences that was so intense you later begin to wonder if your memory is just exaggerating. At one point, Metheny was filling the auditorium with syn-guitar, with Ornette sailing above all that, and I had an out-of-body experience. I have never been able to find a video or recording of any shows from this tour.
	8:13pm Listener Gregory: Haden, Denardo, and DeJohnette were in the band, I believe.
	🥁 8:15pm WR: LG, about what year? I've got several X live recordings.
	8:25pm Observations: Please donate if you can pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: @WR, it was shortly after the album came out, maybe a couple of months? I had listened to it quite a few times before the concert.
	8:30pm Listener Gregory: The concert I heard was in New Haven.
	8:35pm Listener Gregory: This Cassiber is quite interesting.
	🥁 8:40pm WR: OK LG. Got it.
	8:52pm Dean: I am 75% certain that "carmina" is pronounced CAR-mee-nuh, not car-MEE-nuh. Hence, "You say CARmina, I say carMIna... Let's call the whole thing Orff."
	9:04pm Listener Gregory: @WR, !!!
	9:05pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, well done! But I won’t listen to it no matter how it’s pronounced.
	9:08pm Dean: Nobody should deprive him or herself of the "real" Carmina Burana. Start with the Rene Clemencic Consort: https://www.discogs.com/release/4195263-Clemencic-Consort-Ren%C3%A9-Clemencic-Carmina-Burana
	9:21pm zzz: love tuning in and getting blasted with some zorn. greetings @Observations and all
	9:23pm Listener Gregory: I once got together with a friend and listened to this album in alternation with the Ornette originals, while drinking single malt scotch. Yes, I once had friends! Anyway, that was fun.
	9:24pm zzz: that does sound fun @LG!
	9:26pm doctorjazz: I saw this Spy vs Spy band years ago, at the old Knitting Factory (Tim Berne handled the otter alto). It was intense... And, hi all!
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, you did not!!! Oh, man, you are making me envious.
	9:32pm doctorjazz: @LG, I looked back, that Ornette/Metheny show you saw had me drooling!
	9:35pm Listener Gregory: That does not make us even! Living in the hinterlands for 20 years kept me away from the Knit and its big-city equivalents for too long.
	9:36pm Observations: I’m jealous of all of you- those all sound like incredible concerts
	9:36pm zzz: always wondered what Ornette’s thoughts on spy vs spy record were.
	9:37pm doctorjazz: On the other hand, it's probably lovely where you live (it ain't Central Joisey...)
	9:41pm doctorjazz: Only caught Ornette once (if I recall, he stopped playing live gigs for a while, as he saw what rock stars got paid, and felt he was criminally underpaid...he did have a point...). It was at Town Hall, and it was 1 set with this original quartet, then a set with Prime Time (ended with everyone on stage).
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: Ai yi yi!
	9:49pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings to the Mob Job mob.
	9:54pm Listener Gregory: That comment was a Mob Job lob.
	9:55pm zzz: wow @docjazz that sounds incredible. what year was that
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: @doctorj, isn’t there an album of such a concert? Two CDs, one electric and one acoustic? Maybe not. There IS a late quartet reunion concert on disc, I believe.
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, David! Excellent show.
	10:00pm zzz: thanks @observations!
	10:00pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David!
	10:00pm doctorjazz: I think there is, LG
	10:01pm Observations: Thank you everybody! Next week, Oct. 11 is French Jazz, and the following week, Oct. 18, is a Vampisoul Special with interview!
