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.

LG: but what KIND of cheese?
Listener Gregory:
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.

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

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)
