WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from May 12, 2024

Listener comments!
	6:59pm Listener Gregory: Got my equipment ready: computer, phone with app, "internet radio," and a block of cheese.
	♥ 7:03pm WR: The stream has been hot but my feet are cold. Of course, I could put some socks and slippers on.
	♥ 7:06pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:03 sounds like a lot of effort WR. maybe just lay those feets on the internet radio. LG: but what KIND of cheese?
	7:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "What's New" by "Stan Kenton" All this counterpoint is making me dizzy! Impressive. DJP: It's a local Vermont cheese, alpine style. Excellent local producer who both wins international awards and sells at my farmers' market each week.
	♥ 7:11pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 damn, that sound choice (the cheese)!
	♥ 7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 Sounds delicious! Also, if counterpoint makes you dizzy you better sit down for thie next two hours. Maybe dim the lights.
	♥ 7:16pm doctorjazz: Hello DJ Peter, Clock Watchers!
	♥ 7:17pm DJ Peter: Hey Doc? What's cooking?
	♥ 7:18pm WR: I know Bill Holman's name because I took a couple of semesters at NTSU which has (had?) a very active jazz focused music program. Stan Kenton and his band were held up by the program director, Leon Breeden, as the epitome of what a jazz band is. Random factoid, skimming through Bill Holman Wikipedia page I read that he was an alumni of Westlake College of Music where Gary Peacock when a few non-consecutive semesters before it went bankrupt (according to Peacocks Wikipedia page).
	7:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "In a Sentimental Mood" by "Bill Holman" Someone who arranges A Train and In a Sentimental Mood while Duke's band is still in business certainly doesn't lack confidence.
	♥ 7:19pm WR: Peacock went a few...
	♥ 7:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @7:18 Yeah, Kenton's band did a smart thing: they made their charts available to colleges and they conducted clinics. So that was an impressionable audience whose taste was formed by Kenton. For better and for worse!
	♥ 7:21pm DJ Peter: LG: Strayhorn chart coming up
	7:21pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @7:18 I believe that program is still active (this is North Texas State, right?). Downbeat had an article on it a couple of years ago at some anniversary of theirs. There's a lot more competition in jazz programs now, including in more urban areas that might attract students more than moving to north Texas.
	7:23pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:21 Strayhorn composition but Holman chart? Not to be pedantic, but I am extremely pedantic.
	♥ 7:24pm DJ Peter: Oh yeah, i have a high school friend (drummer) who went to North Texas
	♥ 7:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:23 That's right. I had typed "Strayhorn cover" but I hate calling arrangements "covers" so... I should have stuck with my first, more clear phrase
	♥ 7:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:17 Nothin' today, was at a family funeral and coldolece call afterwards, just got home (much food at the house), may just have some leftover vegetable soup if I get hungry.
	7:36pm Listener Gregory: Hoping you will play Holman's arrangement of Big Alice. I've always wanted to hear it.
	7:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Things We Said Today" by "Woody Herman" Do you think this is Woody channeling his inner Johnny Hodges?
	♥ 7:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 A very boozy interpretation
	7:40pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:39 Ah, I see that he's the only credited alto, so very likely it is he.
	♥ 7:43pm DJ Peter: I'm trying to only list the soloists and rhythm section, if I have time to shuffle and figure that out when posting...
	♥ 7:50pm doctorjazz: Just a short stay, will catch the show tomorrow-night all!
	7:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "My Funny Valentine" by "Stan Kenton with Charlie ... What the heck!
	7:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:50 Enjoy your soup, @doctorj.
	7:53pm Jeff g. via app, (not actually in Mass.): Hi. Stan Kenton is involved, in a sidelong fashion, with the recent documentary on Synanon. (He parked his kid there.)
	7:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff g. via app, (not actually in Mass.) @7:53 At least you got out of Mass!
	7:54pm Jeff g. via app,: (Apologies if you already spoke to this! I joined late.)
	7:57pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @7:54 No, we had sadly neglected the whole Synanon connection.
	8:02pm spodiodi: greetings, DJ Peter and all!
	♥ 8:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello dj peter and listeners...
	♥ 8:03pm coelacanth∅: good evening Peter and all
	♥ 8:03pm DJ Peter: Hi spodiodi, tom tom, coelachanthø! Jeff is this a new doc?
	8:06pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Norwegian Wood" by "The Buddy Rich Big Band" I never would've pegged Buddy for a Beatles fan.
	8:07pm CC: ↳ Song: "Dealer's Choice" by "Piet Noordijk Quartet" Glad to finally get to check the show out live... fine notes all the way down the line...:)
	8:08pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff g. via app, (not actually in Mass.) @7:53 Jeff, do you recommend that documentary?
	♥ 8:08pm DJ Peter: Hi CC! Glad to hear it and welcome to REAL TIME
	8:09pm Little Danny: Hello Peter ‘n all!
	♥ 8:12pm DJ Peter: Hey Danny, how are you doing?
	8:12pm CC: Be bop!!!...:)
	♥ 8:13pm DJ Peter: ↳ David Shortell @8:06 All kidding aside, I think Buddy Rich was of that generation that saw themselves as entertainers. Virtuosity = entertainment (whereas we'd like to imagine they it = "art"). Not a put down, just that he would do his thing with whatever material he had
	8:15pm CC: ↳ DJ Peter @8:13 My deceased brother-in-law used to book Buddy down in Atlanta...:)
	8:16pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @8:13 Buddy's parents were vaudeville performers, and his career started as almost a toddler who could play the drums (Baby Traps, the drum wonder!). So, he was no stranger to working to entertain. I am not a huge Buddy fan, but I found Mel Tormé's biography of him quite interesting.
	8:16pm Jeff g. via app,: LG, it’s good, but like a lot of current streaming docs, it’s twice as long as it needs to be.
	8:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff g. via app, @8:16 Thx. If I watch it, I'll take a book.
	♥ 8:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ CC @8:15 No kidding! Were you living in striking distance at the time? What did you see, if you did see?
	8:26pm CC: We used to hang out at his house in Buckhead on Sundays and he would play all his fave jazz cuts to educate me on what he dug... most of the same kind of stuff that you are playing... he was a big fan of Miles Davis John Coltrane Freddie Hubbard hung with all the guys from the Jazz Messengers he played flute and saxophone... I sure do miss that boy...:)
	♥ 8:30pm DJ Peter: awesome story, thanks for sharing. Glad you're here!
	8:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Too Close for Comfort" by "Count Basie and His Or... DJP, do you think that Charles Fowlkes is related to Curtis Fowlkes? The spelling seems too similar to be a coincidence.
	8:35pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:34 No reference to this in Wikipedia.
	♥ 8:36pm DJ Peter: Sorry for the brief gap... i think i'm gonna keep rolling without a mic break so I can squeeze in one more Buddy Rich "interpretation"
	8:37pm CC: ↳ DJ Peter @8:30 My sister told me a story about when they were hanging with Miles Davis one night and her and Miles wife almost got into it...she called her a crazy bitch.:)
	♥ 8:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:34 I have wondered that. They were born some 34 years apart so it is possible but unlikely?
	♥ 8:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ CC @8:37 Mighta been a compliment
	♥ 8:39pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:12 doin' well, when was that glorious seattle train station pic taken?
	8:39pm CC: ↳ DJ Peter @8:38 And they wound up working it all out after all...:)
	♥ 8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "The Bill Holman Band" can't recognize this as straight no chaser
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "The Bill Holman Band" Grammy winning arrangement
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 keep listenin'... maybe you need the chaser
	♥ 8:41pm tom tom the pipers son: oh well there
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 hahahaha
	♥ 8:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Blues in the Night" by "Art Pepper" Very interesting lineup on this. And Pepper playing clarinet.
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Peter: Primal Ice Cream is coming up next: wfmu.org... And did I mention you can sign up for a fun daily email with all the Drummer's Daily Deets? buttondown.email...
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:44 Such a great clarinetist... he featured it more in his last 5-10 years or so
	♥ 8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 kinda feel they butchered it, not that it was unskilled just misinterpreted
	8:47pm Listener Gregory: Peter, I only listen for the mic breaks!
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 It's arguably not very Monk-ish. I dig it though. Fred Hersch has an album of solo Monk interpretations and... none of them are Monk-ish and... I can't decide if that's a plus or minus
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 I'd be flattered but I recall you just want to hear the bed music
	♥ 8:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:47 i guess it all depends on where an interpretation takes the source
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: How about an all-Big Alice show??? That would be awesome!
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: Peter, did Holman do any soundtracks or TV themes we would recognize?
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 I agree. I can listen to Monk if I want to hear Monk, sometimes I like Hersch's twist.. but sometimes I think he misses the point. Certainly we don't want slavish imitation but I get you saying they Holman took it too far out. The fact that the chart won a Grammy is maybe... a vote in your favor? (oy)
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 Yes to movie soundtracks... No TV themes that I know of.
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Keep the Customer Satisfied" by "Buddy Rich" I'm sure Garfunkel is waving his fist here
	♥ 8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 not that it was too far out, i think it was disrespectful to the source, the grammy i could care less about
	♥ 8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ok... thanks peter...
	♥ 8:57pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 From reading Holman's Wikipedia page, seems the best known work for the general public would be "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" by the Fifth Dimension.
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Who did the original arrangement of Keep the Customer Satisfied?
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:57 That was good!
	8:59pm CC: Hope to check you out again DJ Peter thanks for the tunes...:)
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Peter. I knew little about Holman, and now I appreciate him more.
	9:00pm CC: I think Jerry Mulligan did the tune for the Pepsi commercial for those who think Young???...:)
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:58 No one credited on Discogs.
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:00 I'll see if I can dig that up... maybe we'll ask Bob Irwin
	♥ 9:02pm WR: Thank you, Peter!
	♥ 9:13pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	♥ 1:10pm doctorjazz: Nice tribute (just caught up), thanks Peter!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from May 12, 2024

View DJ Peter's profile

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.

	♥ 8:36pm DJ Peter: Sorry for the brief gap... i think i'm gonna keep rolling without a mic break so I can squeeze in one more Buddy Rich "interpretation"
	8:37pm CC: ↳ DJ Peter @8:30 My sister told me a story about when they were hanging with Miles Davis one night and her and Miles wife almost got into it...she called her a crazy bitch.:)
	♥ 8:37pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:34 I have wondered that. They were born some 34 years apart so it is possible but unlikely?
	♥ 8:38pm DJ Peter: ↳ CC @8:37 Mighta been a compliment
	♥ 8:39pm Little Danny: ↳ DJ Peter @8:12 doin' well, when was that glorious seattle train station pic taken?
	8:39pm CC: ↳ DJ Peter @8:38 And they wound up working it all out after all...:)
	♥ 8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "The Bill Holman Band" can't recognize this as straight no chaser
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Straight, No Chaser" by "The Bill Holman Band" Grammy winning arrangement
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 keep listenin'... maybe you need the chaser
	♥ 8:41pm tom tom the pipers son: oh well there
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 hahahaha
	♥ 8:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Blues in the Night" by "Art Pepper" Very interesting lineup on this. And Pepper playing clarinet.
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Peter: Primal Ice Cream is coming up next: wfmu.org... And did I mention you can sign up for a fun daily email with all the Drummer's Daily Deets? buttondown.email...
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Peter: ↳ WR @8:44 Such a great clarinetist... he featured it more in his last 5-10 years or so
	♥ 8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 kinda feel they butchered it, not that it was unskilled just misinterpreted
	8:47pm Listener Gregory: Peter, I only listen for the mic breaks!
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 It's arguably not very Monk-ish. I dig it though. Fred Hersch has an album of solo Monk interpretations and... none of them are Monk-ish and... I can't decide if that's a plus or minus
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 I'd be flattered but I recall you just want to hear the bed music
	♥ 8:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:47 i guess it all depends on where an interpretation takes the source
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: How about an all-Big Alice show??? That would be awesome!
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: Peter, did Holman do any soundtracks or TV themes we would recognize?
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 I agree. I can listen to Monk if I want to hear Monk, sometimes I like Hersch's twist.. but sometimes I think he misses the point. Certainly we don't want slavish imitation but I get you saying they Holman took it too far out. The fact that the chart won a Grammy is maybe... a vote in your favor? (oy)
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 Yes to movie soundtracks... No TV themes that I know of.
	♥ 8:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Keep the Customer Satisfied" by "Buddy Rich" I'm sure Garfunkel is waving his fist here
	♥ 8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @8:52 not that it was too far out, i think it was disrespectful to the source, the grammy i could care less about
	♥ 8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ok... thanks peter...
	♥ 8:57pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 From reading Holman's Wikipedia page, seems the best known work for the general public would be "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" by the Fifth Dimension.
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Who did the original arrangement of Keep the Customer Satisfied?
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:57 That was good!
	8:59pm CC: Hope to check you out again DJ Peter thanks for the tunes...:)
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Peter. I knew little about Holman, and now I appreciate him more.
	9:00pm CC: I think Jerry Mulligan did the tune for the Pepsi commercial for those who think Young???...:)
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:58 No one credited on Discogs.
	♥ 9:00pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:00 I'll see if I can dig that up... maybe we'll ask Bob Irwin
	♥ 9:02pm WR: Thank you, Peter!
	♥ 9:13pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	♥ 1:10pm doctorjazz: Nice tribute (just caught up), thanks Peter!
