	12:03pm alanr: what a perfect beginning to 2024, Irene, as I am friends with Mabe. We both live in the same city as you know (where the sun is now shining and its a bit warmer than NYC). Ready for coffee #2 and more tunes.
	12:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:01 Hello Sean!
	12:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @12:03 Afternoon, David!

	🥁 12:04pm Michael 98145: It's time to say Hello, Friends
	12:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @12:03 Hi David-any good concerts lately? (silly question, just make myself jealous. I have a couple coming up though...)
	12:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:03 Hello Andrew!
	🥁 12:04pm WR: Pretty classy comfort you're serving here, Irene. Hello folks.
	🥁 12:06pm David (in London): ↳ doctorjazz @12:04 Doc, after something of a seasonal Christmas lull, next up is Fred Frith on Sunday week. They come thick and fast in February, though... Sylvia, headcleaner, S&M&S, Michael, WR: salutations all.
	12:06pm Irene Trudel: Greetings luka, Bryan, Andrew, Sylvia, headcleaner, alanr, S&M&S, Michaeland WR!
	🥁 12:06pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Sucia Arena" by "Paolo Angeli" Paolo! How wonderful!!
	🥁 12:07pm Charles in Chicago: If you ever have a chance to see Paolo Angli perform live, GO
	🥁 12:08pm David (in London): ↳ Charles in Chicago @12:06 All hail the Count!
	🥁 12:09pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ David (in London) @12:06 Hi David! Lucky you, going to see Fred Frith. His influence on my musical tastes is incalculable. Growing up on the East Coast I saw him a bunch of times, but he almost never comes to Chicago
	12:10pm Sylvia: hey David
	🥁 12:10pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:02 Hi Andrew
	🥁 12:11pm David (in London): ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @12:09 I've only ever seen him as part of a group (Naked City and Henry Cow), never doing his own solo stuff, so very excited about that.
	🥁 12:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Sylvia @12:10 Bonsoir Sylvia
	🥁 12:12pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Aw, thank you, Irene!
	🥁 12:12pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ David (in London) @12:11 it's decades ago, but some of the sets I saw with Tom Cora, Zeena Parkins, and Bob Ostertag were mind-blowing and still fresh in my memory. But on the other hand, you got to see HENRY FREAKING COW
	12:12pm Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:11 bonne année Sean !
	12:13pm Irene Trudel: Welcome Charles and David!
	12:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ David (in London) @12:03 Heya, David (in London)!
	🥁 12:14pm David (in London): ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @12:12 That was a strange show. They did two in 2014 I think it was, one in London and one at the Huddersfield Festival. They were amazing, but also hugely under rehearsed, having to start one song about three times. Chris Cutler was just getting angrier and angrier.
	🥁 12:14pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Utopia" by "Tremosphere" Wonderful, love this track
	🥁 12:16pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:14 Thank you!
	🥁 12:16pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ David (in London) @12:14 I didn't know the Cow was active this century!
	12:18pm northguineahills: My office is 20 stories above the Hudson by the WTC. One way has a view of NYC harbor, the other right into JC Montgomery St. unfortunately, I can’t listen today, but hopefully can rectify that later….
	12:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @12:06 I've never seen Frith, sounds great! Going to see Juliana Hatfield; then Vijay Iyer (with Linda May Han Oh, bass, Tyshawn Sorey, drums) early Feb.
	🥁 12:19pm chris in the redwoods: hello, Irene, i'm enjoying your favs! hello, everyone!
	🥁 12:19pm WR: ↳ David (in London) @12:14 Did not know HC did any shows that recent, David (iL). Can emphasize with the frustration the band and some of the audience may have felt but seems a special and unique experience / memory as well.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: In since the jump but enjoying things lots!
	🥁 12:20pm βrian: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 How long is the commute?
	12:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:19 I have seen Naked City back in the day, maybe I did see Frith...
	12:20pm listener james from westwood: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 I miss my Hudson-view desk; had one of the Intrepid and a slice of the Hud and Hoboken, and then another, corner one that swept from the Statue of Liberty to Edgewater. Amazing.
	12:21pm Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:14 merci Sean
	🥁 12:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:19 Hey Chris, it’s been awhile, hope all is well, how’s our lad, Buddy doing?
	12:23pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @12:20 From my friend’s place in the e village, about 40 mins.
	🥁 12:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Sylvia @12:21 Je t’en prie
	🥁 12:24pm David (in London): Count / WR, here's a HC review from the time: www.theguardian.com...
	12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 You made it! Glory, Hallelujah! Welcome!
	🥁 12:24pm Dan S: Happy New Year Irene and fellow listeners!
	12:24pm northguineahills: I still need to do a place to stay tonight, and other nights until Jan 18th.
	🥁 12:26pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:21 hey, Sean! he's always on the move, hardly any time to check in with him. i trust he's right as rain, in any case.
	12:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:26 hi, chris in the redwoods.
	🥁 12:28pm David (in London): Hey Chris, ngh.
	12:28pm Irene Trudel: Welcome back to NYC, n.g.h.! The archives will be waiting.
	🥁 12:29pm chris in the redwoods: hey there, good sirs, Andrew and David.
	12:29pm Irene Trudel: Hello to you, chris, james, and Dan!
	12:32pm Ben from Newark: ↳ Song: "Mantra" by "x" Love this song! Julian Lage was my first post-pandemic concert (saw him at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock) and I was blow away by his live show.
	🥁 12:38pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mr Smit, a stonking track, plaudits to you, Sir
	12:44pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Ben from Newark @12:32 Julian is one of my favorite guitarists! He's playing The Town Hall in NYC next March, BTW.
	12:47pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "XI" by "Nathan Salsburg" Love this record.
	12:51pm tom tom the pipers son: hallo irene and chat people...
	12:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ben from Newark @12:32 Lage is a monster guitar slinger-seen him with his own band, with Nels Cline's groups, and with The New Masada!
	12:53pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Yikes. On another site I just saw Drew Daniel send out a RIP for Phill Niblock.
	12:53pm tom tom the pipers son: awww damn
	12:54pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:53 Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.
	🥁 12:56pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: What a great set, Irene!
	12:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @12:54 my ex was close to him and for a time i was friendly with him, sad to hear
	12:58pm Ben from Newark: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:44 Thanks for the heads up! Btw, saw you (very very briefly) at the station when I first got to the holiday party. We were in the elevator, and the moment I got off on the 3rd floor I realized the "Irene" I briefly chatted with about homemade italian food was THE Irene Trudel. Hope you had a good time at the party!
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: Hallo to you tom tom. Sorry to hear about Phill Niblock
	🥁 1:00pm Sean in Bristol UK: Wonderful set, Irene, thank you
	1:01pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:57 And just a few weeks after birthday celebrations. Sorry for your loss.
	1:01pm Ben from Newark: ↳ doctorjazz @12:52 Very cool. I've seen both Nels Cline and Julian Lage solo, but very envious of you having seen these two forces of nature together!
	1:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "From the Mountains" by "Pat Metheny" Still dawdling on getting Metheney tix (have the page open in my browser for months now...)
	1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ben from Newark @1:01 Nels will be appearing in the NY area, and in Philly, end Jan/beginning Feb with a great band! www.liveatthefalcon.com... www.arsnovaworkshop.org... www.nelscline.com
	1:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ben from Newark @1:01 They released an album together julianlage.bandcamp.com... This was the band: www.nelscline.com...
	1:13pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:01 When/where is Pat playing?
	1:15pm Ben from Newark: ↳ doctorjazz @1:06 thanks, will definitely check this out
	🥁 1:16pm smit: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:38 Thanks Sean, you're very kind! Hey Irene and all!
	1:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:13 April 5, Mayo Performing Arts Center, Morristown NJ (my haunts, your old haunts, I hear). Also 4/7, Kaufman Music Hall (92 st Y)
	🥁 1:20pm smit: Loved the Rez Abbasi recording! And, Johnny Mac just turned 82 on the 4th and is still absolutely crushing it!
	🥁 1:20pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Shrini's Dream" by "Shakti" do i keep hearing a Genesis riff in this? Phil Collins? anyway, proggy and digging :)
	1:23pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:17 Ooh, I love the Mayo! Nice theater. And 92nd St Y too. We gotta get tickets to one of those.
	🥁 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:20 'Proggy and digging' can be the title of your autobiography, Chris.
	🥁 1:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "The Calling" by "Magos Herrera (and The Knights)" Stupendous track
	1:27pm Dean: That Shakti brought to mind "Invisible Touch." Was that the riff, chris in the redwoods?
	🥁 1:28pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 excellent! noted.
	1:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:23 I like the Mayo theater as well! Tickets were selling, less seats the last time I looked, but still some availability.
	🥁 1:30pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Dean @1:27 yes, i think so. thanks, Dean.
	1:31pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Sajni" by "Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily" Very very nice
	🥁 1:32pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ headcleaner @1:31 And likewise, wonderful track
	1:33pm Irene Trudel: ↳ smit @1:20 The whole Naya Baz album is right up your alley, Smit!
	1:34pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @1:27 Thanks Dean. I didn't really hear it, but I'm not much of a Phil Collins fan.
	🥁 1:35pm smit: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:33 Indeed, Mr. B. turned me on to Rez...Awesome player!
	🥁 1:35pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Sajni" by "Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily" Sorry to repeat myself, this is a stunning,
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sajni" by "Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily" Will see Vijay Iyer in a few weeks (different trio, will be at The Village Vanguard as I noted above).
	1:38pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sajni" by "Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily" What a trio!
	1:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Even the Sparrow" by "James Brandon Lewis Trio" Have to catch Lewis one of these days...(have the albums)
	1:50pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:45 James & his Ensemble blew us away at the Newport Jazz Fest this past summer. Can't believe we'd never heard of him before!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:50 Reminds me of Albert Ayler (at least this track, the way it's organized).
	🥁 1:53pm Malcontent: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:50 Trio!? Sounded more like a quartet to my ears... And happy new year to you Irene, and my fellow True-dells.
	1:56pm Peter K.: Just checking in to say that I know how hard it was for Irene to keep her best-of-2023 choices to three hours of music -- and that the choices she made are proving to be consistently brilliant. (But hey, what else is new?) Also, Happy New Year, everyone!
	1:59pm BenZ WPB: Hi Irene, great show as always. And once again my pockets will be a little lighter. Just ordered the Mabe Fratti and James Brandon Lewis albums. At least I’m getting great new music to me!
	2:00pm BenZ WPB: Just started reading the Leon Russell book by Bil Janovitz. It’s going to be killer.
	2:06pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Malcontent @1:53 Hi Malcontent! It's billed as a trio, with Kirk Knuffke guesting on cornet.
	2:07pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Peter and Ben! Yes, it's really hard to fit everyone in today. I'll add a few honorable mentions after the show, and links to all.
	2:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:06 Like Kirk Knuffke a lot, have some records and seen him in bands lead by others (not his own). He did guest on Dave Sewelson's show...(though I can't find the link right now...)
	2:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hudson" by "Allison Miller" Seen her a few times, with Boom Tic Boom and other groups (Kurt Knuffke was in that band, it's a good'un!)
	2:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Peter K. @1:56 (Love the home team cheering squad!!! Hi Peter, Happy New Year!)
	🥁 2:18pm smit: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:07 Truly an honor, thanks so much, Irene! HNY to you and Peter!

	2:33pm Irene Trudel: ↳ BLCKDGRD @2:25 You're quite welcome, BLCKDGRD
	2:35pm Bob Rosen: Nice surprise, that!
	🥁 2:38pm smit: Digging Ora Cogan...Never heard her before!
	2:38pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Bob Rosen @2:35 Zack's album is definitely a fave, Bob! So nice to discover his music at length (and great arrangements too).
	2:42pm doctorjazz: I may miss the rest, thanks, Irene, loved the show, Happy New Year to you. Peter, and all you listeners out there!
	🥁 2:46pm smit: ↳ doctorjazz @2:42 HNY to you, doctorjazz!
	2:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ smit @2:46 And to you, Smit!
	2:52pm doctorjazz: (sorry to hear that Wendy will be out-I think you said that, she's still on the schedule. I was trying to find time to catch up with DJ Peter's show from last night, only got to hear the 1st half, was a good show, if she's out that's my plan).
	🥁 2:54pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show today, Irene.
	🥁 2:54pm WR: Thank you! Irene!
	2:56pm Peter K.: All hail Irene Trudel. A best-of show to cherish!
	2:57pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for joining me for my favorites of the past year. And still a few got left off the list! ANyway, I'll be back next Monday at noon. Wendy is off this week but will return next Monday. Catch a rerun here: wfmu.org... a great week everybody!
	2:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Lots to add to my listening list. Thanks, Irene!
	3:01pm David Shortell: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:57 Good link: wfmu.org...

	🥁 12:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Sylvia @12:10 Bonsoir Sylvia
	🥁 12:12pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Aw, thank you, Irene!
	🥁 12:12pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ David (in London) @12:11 it's decades ago, but some of the sets I saw with Tom Cora, Zeena Parkins, and Bob Ostertag were mind-blowing and still fresh in my memory. But on the other hand, you got to see HENRY FREAKING COW
	12:12pm Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:11 bonne année Sean !
	12:13pm Irene Trudel: Welcome Charles and David!
	12:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ David (in London) @12:03 Heya, David (in London)!
	🥁 12:14pm David (in London): ↳ Charles, Count of Cook @12:12 That was a strange show. They did two in 2014 I think it was, one in London and one at the Huddersfield Festival. They were amazing, but also hugely under rehearsed, having to start one song about three times. Chris Cutler was just getting angrier and angrier.
	🥁 12:14pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Utopia" by "Tremosphere" Wonderful, love this track
	🥁 12:16pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:14 Thank you!
	🥁 12:16pm Charles, Count of Cook: ↳ David (in London) @12:14 I didn't know the Cow was active this century!
	12:18pm northguineahills: My office is 20 stories above the Hudson by the WTC. One way has a view of NYC harbor, the other right into JC Montgomery St. unfortunately, I can’t listen today, but hopefully can rectify that later….
	12:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @12:06 I've never seen Frith, sounds great! Going to see Juliana Hatfield; then Vijay Iyer (with Linda May Han Oh, bass, Tyshawn Sorey, drums) early Feb.
	🥁 12:19pm chris in the redwoods: hello, Irene, i'm enjoying your favs! hello, everyone!
	🥁 12:19pm WR: ↳ David (in London) @12:14 Did not know HC did any shows that recent, David (iL). Can emphasize with the frustration the band and some of the audience may have felt but seems a special and unique experience / memory as well.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: In since the jump but enjoying things lots!
	🥁 12:20pm βrian: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 How long is the commute?
	12:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @12:19 I have seen Naked City back in the day, maybe I did see Frith...
	12:20pm listener james from westwood: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 I miss my Hudson-view desk; had one of the Intrepid and a slice of the Hud and Hoboken, and then another, corner one that swept from the Statue of Liberty to Edgewater. Amazing.
	12:21pm Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:14 merci Sean
	🥁 12:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:19 Hey Chris, it’s been awhile, hope all is well, how’s our lad, Buddy doing?
	12:23pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @12:20 From my friend’s place in the e village, about 40 mins.
	🥁 12:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Sylvia @12:21 Je t’en prie
	🥁 12:24pm David (in London): Count / WR, here's a HC review from the time: www.theguardian.com...
	12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @12:18 You made it! Glory, Hallelujah! Welcome!
	🥁 12:24pm Dan S: Happy New Year Irene and fellow listeners!
	12:24pm northguineahills: I still need to do a place to stay tonight, and other nights until Jan 18th.
	🥁 12:26pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:21 hey, Sean! he's always on the move, hardly any time to check in with him. i trust he's right as rain, in any case.
	12:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:26 hi, chris in the redwoods.
	🥁 12:28pm David (in London): Hey Chris, ngh.
	12:28pm Irene Trudel: Welcome back to NYC, n.g.h.! The archives will be waiting.
	🥁 12:29pm chris in the redwoods: hey there, good sirs, Andrew and David.
	12:29pm Irene Trudel: Hello to you, chris, james, and Dan!
	12:32pm Ben from Newark: ↳ Song: "Mantra" by "x" Love this song! Julian Lage was my first post-pandemic concert (saw him at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock) and I was blow away by his live show.
	🥁 12:38pm Sean in Bristol UK: Mr Smit, a stonking track, plaudits to you, Sir
	12:44pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Ben from Newark @12:32 Julian is one of my favorite guitarists! He's playing The Town Hall in NYC next March, BTW.

	12:51pm tom tom the pipers son: hallo irene and chat people...
	12:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ben from Newark @12:32 Lage is a monster guitar slinger-seen him with his own band, with Nels Cline's groups, and with The New Masada!
	12:53pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Yikes. On another site I just saw Drew Daniel send out a RIP for Phill Niblock.
	12:53pm tom tom the pipers son: awww damn
	12:54pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:53 Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.
	🥁 12:56pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: What a great set, Irene!
	12:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @12:54 my ex was close to him and for a time i was friendly with him, sad to hear
	12:58pm Ben from Newark: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:44 Thanks for the heads up! Btw, saw you (very very briefly) at the station when I first got to the holiday party. We were in the elevator, and the moment I got off on the 3rd floor I realized the "Irene" I briefly chatted with about homemade italian food was THE Irene Trudel. Hope you had a good time at the party!
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: Hallo to you tom tom. Sorry to hear about Phill Niblock
	🥁 1:00pm Sean in Bristol UK: Wonderful set, Irene, thank you
	1:01pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:57 And just a few weeks after birthday celebrations. Sorry for your loss.
	1:01pm Ben from Newark: ↳ doctorjazz @12:52 Very cool. I've seen both Nels Cline and Julian Lage solo, but very envious of you having seen these two forces of nature together!
	1:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "From the Mountains" by "Pat Metheny" Still dawdling on getting Metheney tix (have the page open in my browser for months now...)
	1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Ben from Newark @1:01 Nels will be appearing in the NY area, and in Philly, end Jan/beginning Feb with a great band! www.liveatthefalcon.com... www.arsnovaworkshop.org... www.nelscline.com

	🥁 1:16pm smit: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:38 Thanks Sean, you're very kind! Hey Irene and all!
	1:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:13 April 5, Mayo Performing Arts Center, Morristown NJ (my haunts, your old haunts, I hear). Also 4/7, Kaufman Music Hall (92 st Y)
	🥁 1:20pm smit: Loved the Rez Abbasi recording! And, Johnny Mac just turned 82 on the 4th and is still absolutely crushing it!
	🥁 1:20pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Shrini's Dream" by "Shakti" do i keep hearing a Genesis riff in this? Phil Collins? anyway, proggy and digging :)
	1:23pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:17 Ooh, I love the Mayo! Nice theater. And 92nd St Y too. We gotta get tickets to one of those.
	🥁 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:20 'Proggy and digging' can be the title of your autobiography, Chris.
	🥁 1:25pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "The Calling" by "Magos Herrera (and The Knights)" Stupendous track
	1:27pm Dean: That Shakti brought to mind "Invisible Touch." Was that the riff, chris in the redwoods?
	🥁 1:28pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 excellent! noted.
	1:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:23 I like the Mayo theater as well! Tickets were selling, less seats the last time I looked, but still some availability.
	🥁 1:30pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Dean @1:27 yes, i think so. thanks, Dean.
	1:31pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Sajni" by "Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily" Very very nice
	🥁 1:32pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ headcleaner @1:31 And likewise, wonderful track
	1:33pm Irene Trudel: ↳ smit @1:20 The whole Naya Baz album is right up your alley, Smit!
	1:34pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @1:27 Thanks Dean. I didn't really hear it, but I'm not much of a Phil Collins fan.
	🥁 1:35pm smit: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:33 Indeed, Mr. B. turned me on to Rez...Awesome player!
	🥁 1:35pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Sajni" by "Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily" Sorry to repeat myself, this is a stunning,

	1:50pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:45 James & his Ensemble blew us away at the Newport Jazz Fest this past summer. Can't believe we'd never heard of him before!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:50 Reminds me of Albert Ayler (at least this track, the way it's organized).
	🥁 1:53pm Malcontent: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:50 Trio!? Sounded more like a quartet to my ears... And happy new year to you Irene, and my fellow True-dells.
	1:56pm Peter K.: Just checking in to say that I know how hard it was for Irene to keep her best-of-2023 choices to three hours of music -- and that the choices she made are proving to be consistently brilliant. (But hey, what else is new?) Also, Happy New Year, everyone!
	1:59pm BenZ WPB: Hi Irene, great show as always. And once again my pockets will be a little lighter. Just ordered the Mabe Fratti and James Brandon Lewis albums. At least I’m getting great new music to me!
	2:00pm BenZ WPB: Just started reading the Leon Russell book by Bil Janovitz. It’s going to be killer.
	2:06pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Malcontent @1:53 Hi Malcontent! It's billed as a trio, with Kirk Knuffke guesting on cornet.
	2:07pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Peter and Ben! Yes, it's really hard to fit everyone in today. I'll add a few honorable mentions after the show, and links to all.
	2:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:06 Like Kirk Knuffke a lot, have some records and seen him in bands lead by others (not his own). He did guest on Dave Sewelson's show...(though I can't find the link right now...)

	2:50pm doctorjazz: ↳ smit @2:46 And to you, Smit!
	2:52pm doctorjazz: (sorry to hear that Wendy will be out-I think you said that, she's still on the schedule. I was trying to find time to catch up with DJ Peter's show from last night, only got to hear the 1st half, was a good show, if she's out that's my plan).
	🥁 2:54pm David (in London): Thanks for a great show today, Irene.
	🥁 2:54pm WR: Thank you! Irene!
	2:56pm Peter K.: All hail Irene Trudel. A best-of show to cherish!

	2:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Lots to add to my listening list. Thanks, Irene!
