WFMU: destination: OUT with Jeff Golick: Playlist from January 5, 2025

Listener comments!
	9:02am listener james from westwood: Good January, Jeff and all! Soup is cooking in the slow cooker and I have fresh loaves from the storefront of a local commercial bakery, so winter is unprepared for the coziness I'm bringing.
	🥁 9:02am DJ Peter: wakey wakey (an annoying voice is saying in my head)
	9:02am StringOFperils: Other planes of here and now, baby!
	9:03am Jeff Golick: A triumph of coziness, listener james! Share some? Up and at 'em, DJP! StringOFperils! Just say where and when!
	🥁 9:03am hyde: hello!
	9:03am ∫ydniuß: d:o! Jeff & all a shining morn 🌞
	🥁 9:03am Yvang: Morning Jeff and destinataires!
	9:04am Listener Gregory: Good morning D:Oers and Dewars!
	9:05am TDK60: Hi Jeff.
	🥁 9:05am tom tom the pipers son: good morning jeff and all...
	🥁 9:09am DJ Peter: I got the BOMC edition as a hand-me-down. A friend's mom had gotten it after hearing the hype. According to my friend, "but then we realized that we don't like jazz." Guessing others have inherited in simiilar fashion?
	🥁 9:10am DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @9:09 actually instead of "realized" he probably said "remembered"
	9:10am Jeff Golick: hyde! ∫ydniuß! Yvang! Listener Gregory! TDK60! tom tom the pipers son!
	9:10am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Mooche" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Did you mention the venue where they played in Fargo?
	9:11am Listener Gregory: So this was officially a dance?
	9:11am Jeff Golick: ↳ TDK60 @9:10 Fargo Auditorium: library.ndsu.edu...
	9:11am StringOFperils: Probably the hottest thing in Fargo on a November 7th night in 1940. (Speaking as a former resident of Winnipeg, where the mercury falls out of the bottom of the thermometer and runs for cover right about now.)
	9:12am fred: Good morning Jeff and all. One more week of boredom before shows start again
	9:12am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:11 Yup! $1.30 a ticket.
	🥁 9:12am chresti: Morning Jeff and d'OUTers!
	9:13am Jeff Golick: Good early morn, chresti! Great to see you, fred! Will try to allay the boredom as much as possible.
	9:14am mic_a: Hello Jeff and DO Dukes! I finally caught the opening mic break! New washer paying dividends.
	9:15am Jeff Golick: Hey, mic_a! Excellent to hear (and be heard)!
	9:15am patrick321: Hey Jeff and all, happy new year
	🥁 9:15am WR: Hello Jeff and folks. I didn't give the mooche at the bakery anything (no small bills) and now feeling guilty...
	9:16am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @9:11 Didn't Eugene Chadbourne live in Winnipeg for a while? He's on my mind because his birthday was yesterday
	9:17am Jeff Golick: Happy new year, patrick321! Good to see you. Greetings, WR! The mooche will abide.
	9:17am StringOFperils: FDR elected to third term in the oval office, two days prior. Meanwhile, Schikelgrüber occupies France. Time enough to dance the night away
	9:18am Jeff Golick: There's a great NDSU magazine piece on this Fargo concert from the fall 2001 issue: library.ndsu.edu...
	9:19am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @9:16 Could have. I don't know. I was there mid '75 to spring '81, impoverished, studious and very lost. It would be many years before Eugene Chadbourne pinged my radar.
	9:19am TDK60: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:18 Thanks for all the info. Was it cold that night in Fargo? I betcha.
	9:20am Jeff Golick: ↳ StringOFperils @9:17 Yup. And if you ever saw that b/w movie of that bridge that starts rolling and twisting and ultimately falls apart? That happened on Nov. 7, 1940, too.
	9:21am StringOFperils: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:20 Yes! tragic, but also a beautiful demonstration of energy expressed as waveform.
	🥁 9:21am DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Ko-Ko" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Jimmy Blanton, presumably without any additional amplification... my god!
	🥁 9:21am hyde: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:20 the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
	9:22am Jeff Golick: ↳ hyde @9:21 Close, but different narrows: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:22am TDK60: Some site (On This Day) says Stravinsky's "Symphony in C" premiered in Chicago on Nov. 7/40.
	🥁 9:22am Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @9:21 Yes.
	🥁 9:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ hyde @9:21 i believe it was in tacoma
	9:23am mic_a: Fred -- Chadbourne -- my "Volume 2: Solo Acoustic Guitar" has a Calgary, Alberta address.
	9:23am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @9:21 Yeah. The revelation for me, on listening this week, has been drummer Sonny Greer.
	🥁 9:23am hyde: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:22 ah right!
	9:23am patrick321: I bought this set from BOMC in the late 1970s because I felt I "should" learn more about jazz. ;)
	🥁 9:24am WR: ↳ Song: "There Shall Be No Night" by "Duke Ellington & His... The vocalist?
	9:25am Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @9:24 Herb Jeffries. Ivie Anderson shows up a little later.
	9:25am Jeff Golick: ↳ patrick321 @9:23 Well done!
	9:27am Jeff Golick: Personnel: Duke Ellington – piano Johnny Hodges, Otto Hardwick – alto saxophone Ben Webster – tenor saxophone Harry Carney – baritone saxophone Barney Bigard – clarinet Rex Stewart – cornet Ray Nance, Wallace Jones – trumpet Tricky Sam Nanton, Juan Tizol, Lawrence Brown – trombone Jimmy Blanton – bass Fred Guy – guitar Sonny Greer – drums Ivie Anderson, Herb Jeffries – vocals Murderers row!
	🥁 9:27am WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:27 Thank you!
	9:30am Jeff Golick: In 1978, this 1940 stuff must have seemed impossibly old. (From our vantage, it's 85 years old.)
	9:31am StringOFperils: I'd love to know the details of how this was recorded; it's remarkably good, considering what would have been possible, live, with so many variables involved. Amazing!
	🥁 9:32am WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:30 I think that depends on how old you were in 1978. If you were 74 in 78 or if you were 24.
	🥁 9:33am tom tom the pipers son: i think you can hear similar "baroque" dynamics to be bop, bop just more condensed and faster. i think one of the things that inspired bop was entrepreneur-ship and the feeling i can do this by myself.
	9:33am Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @9:32 Ah, yeah, good point. (I was ten in '78, so I was probably speaking for myself...)
	9:34am StringOFperils: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:30 As impossibly old as 1987
	9:34am patrick321: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:30 I was 22 and it wasn't initially accessible to my rock radio ears, but I persisted.
	9:36am Jeff Golick: ↳ StringOFperils @9:31 Burris and Towers set up in a rush. They had a recording turntable with a sapphire-tipped cutter that carved v-tracks in 16-inch acetate discs. They placed the recorder next to Ellington’s piano with two additional microphones, one up high and one down low at the front of the stage. After the orchestra played two or three warm-up pieces, Ellington came out to his piano. The band played “Sepia Panorama,” its broadcast theme — local radio station KVOX broadcast part of the show live — and, “Away the program went.” By all accounts the night was magical. Between 600 and 800 people paid the $1.30 advance ticket price to see the show. Bill Snyder, a 1942 NDAC graduate, was one of them. He remembers band members propping their sheet music on satchels because there weren’t any music stands. “I used to go there all the time,” Snyder said of the Crystal. “Ballrooms were a big deal in those days. It was a lot of fun.” Some of the revelers twirled through the lights reflected from the two-foot diameter glass ball sus- pended from the ceiling, while others gathered around the stage to watch the greatest band in the land swing the house. They were on, baby. Stanley Dance, freelance writer and long-time Ellington friend, says the recording captured an evening when the orchestra was hitting all the notes. Dance wrote “The World of Duke Ellington,” helped write two other books about the legendary bandleader, and delivered the eulogy at Ellington’s funeral. “The Duke’s career covered a long period and this was a very happy illustration of the band at that time, when it was a very good band, indeed,” he said. “I would add that there are few live recordings (of Ellington) any better than this.” Burris and Towers worked their equipment, only missing sections of songs when they were forced to change discs or when the microphones couldn’t pick up the soloists. During intermissions they played back numbers for the band members. Ben Webster, tenor saxophon- ist, asked them to put on a fresh disc for a piece he’d worked up with bassist Jimmy Blanton. It was the first time the rest of the orchestra had heard “Star Dust,” but the musicians joined right in. Later, Ellington, “in his coat and porkpie hat,” requested a playback of “Whispering Grass.” The two men cut 5 1/2 discs, 15 minutes per side. “We had no thoughts other than just the thrill of being there, recording, and having something we could play for our own amazement,” Towers said. “We had no thoughts whatsoever of recording any- thing that anybody would be listening to 40 or 50 or 60 years down the line.”
	9:37am adamdoesit: Good morning, Jeff G and all you Carneys and Bigards. I don't know how this Ellington tradition began, but I feel grateful for it.
	9:37am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @9:31 The NDSU article Jeff linked to earlier has some details on that
	🥁 9:38am hyde: i'm reading a book of WWII history, this soundtrack is perfect
	9:39am fred: ↳ fred @9:37 Nevermind, Jeff just posted the info
	9:39am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @9:37 Good morning, adamdoesit!
	9:40am patrick321: There are about ten copies of the vinyl box on Discogs, for $18-25
	9:41am adamdoesit: ↳ hyde @9:38 hyde, which one?
	9:42am StringOFperils: Fascinating story. Thanks for the info!
	🥁 9:42am WR: ↳ Song: "Ferryboat Serenade" by "Duke Ellington & His Orch... Mardi Gras, Rah rah rah. LOL, at the cornball lyrics.
	🥁 9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ⦿Sunday FMUvianz~
	9:43am Jeff Golick: Cheers, Revolution Rabbit Nov63!
	🥁 9:43am hyde: ↳ adamdoesit @9:41 Blood and Ruins: The Last Imperial War 1931 - 1945 by Richard Overy
	🥁 9:44am Listener Gregory: Trying to figure out the announcer prattling in the background, until I realize that this must have been a live radio recording as well. Probably Jeff said this in minute 1.
	🥁 9:45am DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Warm Valley" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" I'm not a violent person but I was very annoyed at that emcee for deciding to speak over Johnny Hodges
	9:45am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:44 Yup. I think that's the last of him? The broadcast was only 30 minutes, or so I gather.
	9:46am StringOFperils: That record lathe must have weighed a ton.
	9:46am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @9:45 For real.
	🥁 9:47am WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:44 From the info Jeff pasted in above, part of the performance was broadcst but the recordists tried to record the whole performance.
	9:50am Stork: Hiya, and Snappy Goo Gears, Stream-Dreamers! What a pure pleasure is to Duke with you all!
	🥁 9:51am WR: ↳ DJ Peter @9:45 The idea is to leave you wanting more so that next time you go to the venue. But you know that and pending GA release of the ELON time machine, you are responding from within the parameters you have.
	🥁 9:52am Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @9:45 No jury would convict you.
	9:53am StringOFperils: Don't shoot the radio announcer.
	9:53am Jeff Golick: ↳ Stork @9:50 Happy 2025, my Sunday brother!
	🥁 9:54am doctorjazz: Hello Jeff, New Year Outies!
	9:55am Jeff Golick: Warm greetings, doctorjazz!
	9:55am Stork: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:53 Right back atcha, and to you too, DJ Peter!
	🥁 9:56am doctorjazz: 1940, it was a really good Duke year!
	🥁 9:57am DJ Peter: ↳ Stork @9:55 Hi Stork! (said with little brother energy)
	10:01am Stork: ↳ DJ Peter @9:57 You're probably younger than me, but you ain't no pipsqueak!
	🥁 10:06am doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @9:56 1938-1941 are documented in great Smithsonian albums!.
	🥁 10:06am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Sidewalks Of New York (w interruption)" by "D... Have this Fargo concert lp.
	10:07am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "The Sidewalks Of New York (w interruption)" by "D... The campaign song of New York's great governor, Al Smith!
	10:07am Listener Gregory: There must have been some bass players in the audience. I wonder what they thought when hearing Blanton.
	10:07am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:07 "There goes my career."?
	10:08am adamdoesit: ↳ hyde @9:43 hyde, thanks -- I'll check it out.
	10:08am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @10:07 Al Smith: probably pro-congestion pricing!
	10:08am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:07 These damn kids, how are we supposed to dance to this?!
	🥁 10:10am hyde: ↳ adamdoesit @10:08 it's pretty good! many many pages though...
	10:11am Stork: Love the cascading horns !!
	10:12am Roberto: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:08 He was definitely pro-wet dream!
	10:12am Jeff Golick: ↳ Roberto @10:12 Ayo, Roberto! Comin' in hot!
	10:13am Roberto: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:12 It was in his presidential campaign slogan.
	10:14am adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:08 Sadly, had it been a thing at the time, he'd probably have sided with his protege Robert Moses, who would certainly have been against, and whose works and preferences resulted in our unenviable congestion today.
	10:15am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @10:14 Oof, you're probably right, adamdoesit.
	10:22am adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:15 If I sound like a guy who's just now reading The Power Broker and seeing our infrastructure in a new and still harsher light… it's cos I am.
	10:24am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @10:22 Oh, yeah. That was my experience, too. Forever colored my view of NYC.
	🥁 10:24am Listener Gregory: Coincidentally, I just opened an email from NY EZpass, informing me that my account with them will be paying the congestion fee. Glad that I don't have to register for one more account (not that I have plans to drive into the city soon).
	10:27am mic_a: Restraining myself from a feigned confusion with the band Slapp Happy.
	10:28am luka: gm thank you for the sounds on the way to the store before the snow comes
	10:29am Jeff Golick: Yeah, luka! Thanks for checking in.
	🥁 10:36am Doug Schulkind: ↳ adamdoesit @10:22 adamdoesit, I am a Robert Caro fanboy. I rabidly urge you to read his many-volumed (and agonizingly as yet incomplete) Johnson biography.
	🥁 10:38am Listener Gregory: I met a cab driver years ago in Champaign, Illinois, who told me that that town had at least 5 bands back in the day. When fraternities and sororities had dances, they had to have live music, and every weekend there would be a few such parties, plus maybe a wedding, etc. I imagine that most of the musicians had other jobs, but it is still a lot of musician gigs. Occasionally a nationally popular band like Ellington's might put on a concert too. Those days are gone.
	🥁 10:38am DJ Peter: Just looked it up: in 2025 terms, the ticket was $29.30. So I guess if you were taking your sweetheart out dancing, you paid $58.60 for starters. Pretty good deal!
	🥁 10:38am WR: Regarding the price of admission, one web search hit says "adjusted for inflation, $1.30 in 1940 is equal to $28.48 in 2024. Annual inflation over this period was 3.74%." Quite reasonable,
	🥁 10:39am DJ Peter: Great minds, WR
	🥁 10:39am Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @10:38 @WR, you owe DJ Peter 82 cents.
	10:39am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @10:38 I think our two Wicked tickets for later this afternoon cost more than that.
	10:40am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:36 Doug! Hiya. I thought the clarion Caro call might flush you out...
	10:40am adamdoesit: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:36 Doug, I believe it: encyclopedist recognizes encyclopedist. I look forward to embarking on it, sometime after the next 600-odd pages and a little rest.
	10:40am coelacanth∅: g'morning Jeff, OUTies
	10:40am StringOFperils: ↳ WR @10:38 Immediately preceded by a decade of seemingly bottomless economic depression.
	10:41am Jeff Golick: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:40 Morning, coelacanth∅!
	10:43am StringOFperils: Until the States decided to join the war, and manufacturing took off, a lot of folks probably still didn't have two nickels to rub together
	🥁 10:45am WR: ↳ Song: "Boy Meets Horn" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Great trumpet 🎺plunger 🪠 work.
	🥁 10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That WWII followed the Depression should be emphasized & reflected upon in every School & every exposition of History.
	10:46am StringOFperils: ...and of course, enlisting. My grandfather and his brother did that, cuz I think it was pretty hungry until then. They were too old, but that bought them 6 years of 'employment. somewhere in the European theatre of combat..
	🥁 10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:45 ...& of course how the unsatisfactory resolution of WWI made WWII inevitable - & in fact it's just one War setting the stage for the next all the way back & forward ...but I digress...
	10:48am Jeff Golick: Meanwhile, 1940: folks walking around with living memories of the Civil War.
	10:48am StringOFperils: I'm sure the diversion was as welcome then as it is right this minute, and probably via radio mostly, if your living room had one. If you had a living room. If you had a home....etcc
	🥁 10:49am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:48 Everyone knows them as Old Folks!
	🥁 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In fact - the interval from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, & the Civil War to WWII is about the same as the one from WWII to now - as we Astrology enthusiasts are noting re ♅Uranus Cycles (~84 years) in U.S. History...
	🥁 10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:49 PhilSchaap spoke - well - @ length about this in relation to Bird's version of that song...
	10:52am coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:46 but no economy will flourish because of war today, except the personal economies of a few individuals.
	🥁 10:52am WR: ↳ Song: "The Five O'Clock Whistle" by "Duke Ellington & Hi... who's blowing that damned whistle? LOL
	🥁 10:52am Doug Schulkind: Was that Ivie Anderson singing? The tune was a signature of her's with Ellington, but couldn't quite tell if it was her.
	10:52am StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:52 I do believe you are witnessing the plans for that being laid out as we speak
	🥁 10:53am hyde: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:38 it was really amplified sound that killed dance bands
	10:53am Jeff Golick: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:50 C'mon, man, trying for escapism here.
	10:54am StringOFperils: Anyway, save to say that context looms large....a testament to how this great art can loom larger
	🥁 10:54am Listener Gregory: Now, THIS is sounding like Phil Schaap!
	10:54am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:52 It was Ivie, yes. Our amateur tapers less interested in vocalists, it seems.
	🥁 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:52 Certainly worth noting. Point I want to make is - economic inequity seeds discontent, nationalism & War.
	🥁 10:56am Doug Schulkind: Nice! I am also an Ivie Anderson fanboy!
	🥁 10:56am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In Rhythm" by "Duke Ellington & His Orche... Weather Report was to cover this song in 1980.
	🥁 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Since Duke is always exalted as 'the Beethoven of Jazz' - meaning the best most Classic & developed expression of this U.S. American Art Form ...& I've heard very little - this exposition is much appreciated.
	🥁 10:59am hyde: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:56 actually released as a 45, haha
	🥁 10:59am doctorjazz: The nice thing about finding this live Ellington of the time is that the band was powerful, swinging! I love the studio versions, but they could sound polite, compared to, say, Easier, but they rocked live!
	🥁 11:00am doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @10:59 ...compared to Basie...
	🥁 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is said the Art of Orchestration is using the whole ensemble as your palette...
	🥁 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @10:59 Yeah the comparison to SamCooke like that very astute I thot...
	🥁 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @11:00 - who always Rocked, yeah ? But Duke was finer - is what they always say ?
	11:02am StringOFperils: An emblem of eloquence
	11:02am Jeff Golick: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:00 Ellington talked about writing for the musician, and not the instrument(s).
	🥁 11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:01 ...tempted to say like Beatles vs. Stones...
	11:05am Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Cotton Tail (Incomplete)" by "Duke Ellington & Hi... Ben Webster was the first tenor player to join Duke's band.
	🥁 11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:02 Maybe a little different than the Classical situation like that ? Tho you'd have (say) First Violin & Soloists... Duke of course as Composer with then in real time...
	🥁 11:06am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:05 Interesting. Tenor was not very popular until Coleman Hawkins invented it.
	11:07am adamdoesit: In times of distress (e.g., now), I often find myself returning to the music and movies of 1940-41. This special show meets me right where I am. Thanks, Jeff G.
	11:08am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @11:07 My pleasure, adamdoesit. You and me both. I couldn't get enough of this stuff this past week.
	🥁 11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:05 with the*M
	🥁 11:10am doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:03 Not a bad comparison, have to say!
	11:11am Jeff Golick: For anyone interested, I'm playing the Storyville 60th anniversary edition, which is also available at Bandcamp.
	🥁 11:17am Listener Gregory: It is interesting that the band brings two vocalists on the road to sing only a few songs.
	11:18am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:17 Yeah, wondered if they felt slighted, or more like, "Hey, easy gig!"
	🥁 11:20am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:18 I think that performers want to perform. Also, it wasn't like they could go home early or anything.
	11:25am Dean: Buried on p.19 of the Nov. 7, '40, NYT: Indian Sultan Weds Rumanian LONDON, Nov. 6 (AP) -- The fabulously wealthy Sultan Ibrahim of Johore, 67, married Marcella Mendl, blonde Rumanian beauty, today. The bride will be 25 years old tomorrow. The Sultan has ruled his Indian state for forty-five years. Elsewhere in the issue, an ad for Hearns, "America's Largest Liquor Store," 74 5th Ave., featuring a 1928 Berlan Burgundy on sale for $1.29.
	🥁 11:26am doctorjazz: I think it wasn't unusual for a big band to have 2 singers (a male and a singer), and bring them out intermittently (imagine, people came out to listen and dance mostly to instrumental music). Then Billie, Sinatra, and others brought singers to the forefront.
	🥁 11:27am Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @11:26 You're right. It's just the economics that is somewhat baffling to me. Two full-time employees!
	🥁 11:27am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:27 And on the road you have to pay for their transportation and lodging.
	🥁 11:28am hyde: ↳ Dean @11:25 they met in an air raid shelter! The sultan got around, he was previously married to a Malaysian princess and a Scotswoman
	11:28am Jeff Golick: ↳ Dean @11:25 Dean! What a time it was.
	11:28am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Honeysuckle Rose" by "Duke Ellington & His Orches... Ray Nance?
	11:29am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:27 Probably various other tasks on the roster. Cooking, bed-making, hooking up with relatives for places to stay, bus driving. Finding out where the back doors were...
	🥁 11:29am Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @11:25 I am about his age, so if any Rumanian beauties are interested in marriage, DM me. Will also accept Romanians.
	🥁 11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Singer thing maybe underscores the relations between Jazz, Dance & Pop ? It was of course Swing that 'won the War'... & I suppose with Duke the aspiration to another thing - the Concert...
	11:30am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 Yeah, newest band member Ray Nance. Had just replaced Cootie Williams!
	🥁 11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & of course the PostWar transition to Electricity made all the difference in Pop over time - smaller bands doing different things ...tho with Bop it happened in Jazz too...
	11:33am adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:30 Wow. He sounds sure as can be. I guess you'd have to be to stand up and swing a solo in front of a band like that.
	11:33am rw: Good morning!
	🥁 11:34am hyde: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 smaller electrically amplified bands. you don't need to pay 30 musicians anymore when 5 people are just as loud
	🥁 11:34am Listener Gregory: This is not a short concert. The audience got its money worth, times 3.
	🥁 11:34am doctorjazz: Think I have a 2 LP set of this somewhere in the racks, have to check (the Bandcamp is a digital download-there are some physical copies on Discogs...)
	11:35am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Jeff and all!
	11:35am rw: I hadn’t known of this tradition of starting the year with Ellington, but I like it.
	11:35am Jeff Golick: rw! bigplanetnoise!
	🥁 11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe even like it split in two : Pop ~ R&B went Electric - & Jazz was no longer Popular Dance music @ all - but went Underground & more intimate...
	11:35am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:34 YES. I imagine the band outlasted most dancers.
	11:36am Ike: Morning!
	🥁 11:36am doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:27 I don't quite get it either, but it seem pre-war, and during the war, it was easier to afford a big band than it was afterwards. Whether they just paid starvation wages, living was much cheaper, some combination of the above, after the war most big bands could no longer afford to go on.
	🥁 11:36am hyde: ↳ hyde @11:34 or you can just play records through amps and you don't even need to pay a band
	🥁 11:37am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:35 People danced to avoid freezing to death.
	11:37am Jeff Golick: Good morn, Ike!
	🥁 11:37am WR: ↳ Song: "Star Dust" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" As noted in the notes Jeff posted, Ben Webster.
	🥁 11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ hyde @11:36 ...well now we have machines making the Musics. Soon they'll listen to it for us as well...
	🥁 11:37am doctorjazz: ↳ hyde @11:36 Or have one keyboard player, with digitral accompaniment...
	11:38am Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @11:37 First live go of this tune, I believe! The band just kind of comping behind, figuring it out.
	🥁 11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ hyde @11:36 ...that of course was called Disco - & it wasn't kitsch or cute when I lived thru it where I was...
	11:38am mic_a: A keyboard player IS digital accompaniment. (sorry, had to)
	🥁 11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Star Dust" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Webster started out as a monster blower, Coleman Hawkins follower, blew the roof off. But he's starting to soften, widen vibrato, becomming Gentle Ben...
	🥁 11:39am DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:30 "Triple Threat Ray Nance" does Nance play violin anywhere on this recording? I'm guessing no. Now I'm curious to know when Ellington first featured him on that instrument.
	🥁 11:39am Listener Gregory: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 Think how that will free up our Sunday mornings!
	🥁 11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:39 ...could still be sleeping...
	11:40am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @11:39 He got a feature on "Honeysuckle Rose," a few songs back.
	11:40am Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @11:39 Webster credits Johnny Hodges (who he sat next to on the bandstand) for teaching him how to play.
	🥁 11:40am WR: ↳ DJ Peter @11:39 I thought we heard Nance playing violin on the tune before his vocal.
	🥁 11:41am doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 That sort of is what digital algorithms that suggest music for you based on what you've played do...
	11:42am Dean: An ad for Roger Kent, a clothier: "For years we have been advising our patrons to omit cuffs from the trousers of their business suits. Now, we are gratified to see this omission becoming more and more acceptable among men whose sense of correctness is unimpeachable. Cuffless trousers represent a sound, authentic trend, and not just a fad." I concur. The cost for a suit? $35
	11:43am Jeff Golick: ↳ Dean @11:42 When trends and fads were two different things.
	11:43am StringOFperils: Ahh for the halcyon days when correctness was unimpeachable. sigh.
	11:43am mackeral: ↳ Dean @11:42 "cuffless trousers represent a sound..." this guy gets it...
	11:44am Jeff Golick: ↳ mackeral @11:43 Ha! Hey, mackeral!
	🥁 11:45am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "St. Louis Blues" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Webster's tone still a buzzsaw!
	🥁 11:45am Listener Gregory: I also wonder at the difference between the two vocalists. Anderson sounds like a jazz singer to me, but Jeffries doesn't. He's more of a balladeer.
	11:46am Dean: Plus ça change: BANDITS STEAL BALLOTS Masked Men in Kentucky Take Box Containing 435 Votes
	🥁 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Trap Set of Drums is short for 'contraption'. In no native tradition does one Drummer play more than one Drum ...so was always about trying to get more self-sufficient with fewer players... But perhaps like what happened with Analog & Digital formats : the Music was always getting Bigger & more dynamic in the 20th Century. Then with Digital - more compressed & Smaller all the time to fit storage & transmission. Like things relegated to Museums are always made Smaller & put under glass...
	11:46am Ike: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:37 Have you tried anything at the new Dukan Syko? I see they have manoushe in the back (little Middle Eastern flatbread snacks). I had some amazing manoushe in Rockville MD recently so I wonder if these are as good.
	🥁 11:47am WR: Seems in thus aet that they figured out where the vocalist should stand to be picked up by the mic. Interesting and warm collegiality between the band and the recordists.
	11:47am Jeff Golick: ↳ Ike @11:46 Spinach pie things only -- were good! Worth a shot.
	🥁 11:48am doctorjazz: Thanks, Jeff, loved the show! HNY all!
	🥁 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:45 Perhaps that's why have two. Like Duke thinking of Musicians not Instruments that way...
	🥁 11:48am DJ Peter: ↳ WR @11:40 wow so straight out the gate!
	11:48am Ike: ↳ doctorjazz @11:48 Thanks! Walked past Tacoomar (Taco Omar?) the other day. Hadn’t noticed it before. Looks more expensive than El Tenampa — I bet that’s just as good if you’re anywhere near 4th Ave.! Or are you over in Windsor T. like Jonathan Herweg?
	11:50am Ike: Anybody here in the D.C. area — go try Z&Z Manoushe in Rockville!
	🥁 11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wow. That was immersive to emerge from now. There are other worlds & Musics ??...
	🥁 11:51am Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Jeff. How you selected such an excellent collection of songs I really don't know. Happy New Year to all who are not hiding in a bunker. OK, to the bunker people too! Heading out, as the thermometer has reached the freezing mark.
	🥁 11:51am WR: I agree, seemed like the 2nd set was more expensive. More choruses.
	🥁 11:52am WR: ↳ WR @11:51 expansive! damn typo vs autocorrect...
	🥁 11:52am tom tom the pipers son: thanks jeff...
	🥁 11:52am chresti: Thanks Jeff!
	11:53am Dean: TWA flights from NYC to LA, 4 flights daily, $149.95 (10% REDUCTION ON ROUND TRIPS) "It's only 15 hours, 38 minutes to Los Angeles, when you fly the Route of the Stratoliners..."
	11:53am adamdoesit: I tend to think of the second set as the more blowing even today (though it isn't always so). I've got new records in my Bandcamp wishlist, new books on my NYPL hold list, and a heart newly filled with music. Thank you, Jeff G. That was nourishing af.
	11:53am Ike: BTW I haven’t listened to any Sun Ra lately but want to get back into him after seeing the Met exhibit featuring him (Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876-Now). Fave albums? Start anywhere?
	11:53am ?: thanks jeff!!
	🥁 11:53am DJ Peter: Jeff, thanks for "making" me pay attention to that recording again. So rewarding.
	11:54am mic_a: Thanks Jeff. Best wishes everyone.
	11:55am StringOFperils: Beautiful way to start the year, Jeff. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!
	🥁 11:56am WR: ↳ Ike @11:53 Last night David Mittleman featured Sun Ra.
	11:56am mackeral: ↳ Ike @11:53 I enjoyed Excelsior Mill recently
	11:56am mackeral: thanks for that, Jeff
	🥁 11:56am DJ Peter: ↳ Ike @11:53 you said "5 albums" but we can cheat and cite the Evidence twofers: 1. We travel the spaceways/bad and beautiful 2.visits planet earth/interstellar low ways 3. cosmic tones for mental therapy 4. nothing is (ESP) 5. lanquidity just my thoughts about different eras of ra!
	11:57am listener james from westwood: Exquisite, Jeff! Feel like I've been at a concert and didn't even have to drag my carcass out to the subway or car!
	11:57am Ike: ↳ DJ Peter @11:56 Big thanks!
	11:57am ∫ydniuß: Thanks Jeff! duke is the king
	🥁 11:57am WR: wfmu.org... 13 versions of Nuclear War along with several other tunes.
	11:57am Ike: ↳ WR @11:56 Will check that out! Thx!
	🥁 11:58am hyde: cool show. thanks!
	🥁 11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ike @11:53 You know seems a good question to me. Reflexively always happy to hear SunRa ...but a real tour guide thru the Oeuvre is another matter... Oh here's DJ Peter ! :D
	🥁 11:59am WR: ↳ DJ Peter @11:56 good choices!
	🥁 11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JeffG ~
	🥁 11:59am hyde: ↳ Ike @11:53 there's a 7 hour Stork Club from last July that's all Sun Ra
	🥁 12:01pm Yvang: Thanks Jeff!
	12:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, everybody! See you over at Stork's place: wfmu.org...
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: (belated) Thanks Jeff!

Listener comments!
	9:02am listener james from westwood: Good January, Jeff and all! Soup is cooking in the slow cooker and I have fresh loaves from the storefront of a local commercial bakery, so winter is unprepared for the coziness I'm bringing.
	🥁 9:02am DJ Peter: wakey wakey (an annoying voice is saying in my head)
	9:02am StringOFperils: Other planes of here and now, baby!
	9:03am Jeff Golick: A triumph of coziness, listener james! Share some? Up and at 'em, DJP! StringOFperils! Just say where and when!
	🥁 9:03am hyde: hello!
	9:03am ∫ydniuß: d:o! Jeff & all a shining morn 🌞
	🥁 9:03am Yvang: Morning Jeff and destinataires!
	9:04am Listener Gregory: Good morning D:Oers and Dewars!
	9:05am TDK60: Hi Jeff.
	🥁 9:05am tom tom the pipers son: good morning jeff and all...
	🥁 9:09am DJ Peter: I got the BOMC edition as a hand-me-down. A friend's mom had gotten it after hearing the hype. According to my friend, "but then we realized that we don't like jazz." Guessing others have inherited in simiilar fashion?
	🥁 9:10am DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @9:09 actually instead of "realized" he probably said "remembered"
	9:10am Jeff Golick: hyde! ∫ydniuß! Yvang! Listener Gregory! TDK60! tom tom the pipers son!
	9:10am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Mooche" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Did you mention the venue where they played in Fargo?
	9:11am Listener Gregory: So this was officially a dance?
	9:11am Jeff Golick: ↳ TDK60 @9:10 Fargo Auditorium: library.ndsu.edu...
	9:11am StringOFperils: Probably the hottest thing in Fargo on a November 7th night in 1940. (Speaking as a former resident of Winnipeg, where the mercury falls out of the bottom of the thermometer and runs for cover right about now.)
	9:12am fred: Good morning Jeff and all. One more week of boredom before shows start again
	9:12am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:11 Yup! $1.30 a ticket.
	🥁 9:12am chresti: Morning Jeff and d'OUTers!
	9:13am Jeff Golick: Good early morn, chresti! Great to see you, fred! Will try to allay the boredom as much as possible.
	9:14am mic_a: Hello Jeff and DO Dukes! I finally caught the opening mic break! New washer paying dividends.
	9:15am Jeff Golick: Hey, mic_a! Excellent to hear (and be heard)!
	9:15am patrick321: Hey Jeff and all, happy new year
	🥁 9:15am WR: Hello Jeff and folks. I didn't give the mooche at the bakery anything (no small bills) and now feeling guilty...
	9:16am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @9:11 Didn't Eugene Chadbourne live in Winnipeg for a while? He's on my mind because his birthday was yesterday
	9:17am Jeff Golick: Happy new year, patrick321! Good to see you. Greetings, WR! The mooche will abide.
	9:17am StringOFperils: FDR elected to third term in the oval office, two days prior. Meanwhile, Schikelgrüber occupies France. Time enough to dance the night away
	9:18am Jeff Golick: There's a great NDSU magazine piece on this Fargo concert from the fall 2001 issue: library.ndsu.edu...
	9:19am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @9:16 Could have. I don't know. I was there mid '75 to spring '81, impoverished, studious and very lost. It would be many years before Eugene Chadbourne pinged my radar.
	9:19am TDK60: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:18 Thanks for all the info. Was it cold that night in Fargo? I betcha.
	9:20am Jeff Golick: ↳ StringOFperils @9:17 Yup. And if you ever saw that b/w movie of that bridge that starts rolling and twisting and ultimately falls apart? That happened on Nov. 7, 1940, too.
	9:21am StringOFperils: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:20 Yes! tragic, but also a beautiful demonstration of energy expressed as waveform.
	🥁 9:21am DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Ko-Ko" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Jimmy Blanton, presumably without any additional amplification... my god!
	🥁 9:21am hyde: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:20 the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
	9:22am Jeff Golick: ↳ hyde @9:21 Close, but different narrows: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:22am TDK60: Some site (On This Day) says Stravinsky's "Symphony in C" premiered in Chicago on Nov. 7/40.
	🥁 9:22am Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @9:21 Yes.
	🥁 9:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ hyde @9:21 i believe it was in tacoma
	9:23am mic_a: Fred -- Chadbourne -- my "Volume 2: Solo Acoustic Guitar" has a Calgary, Alberta address.
	9:23am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @9:21 Yeah. The revelation for me, on listening this week, has been drummer Sonny Greer.
	🥁 9:23am hyde: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:22 ah right!
	9:23am patrick321: I bought this set from BOMC in the late 1970s because I felt I "should" learn more about jazz. ;)
	🥁 9:24am WR: ↳ Song: "There Shall Be No Night" by "Duke Ellington & His... The vocalist?
	9:25am Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @9:24 Herb Jeffries. Ivie Anderson shows up a little later.
	9:25am Jeff Golick: ↳ patrick321 @9:23 Well done!
	9:27am Jeff Golick: Personnel: Duke Ellington – piano Johnny Hodges, Otto Hardwick – alto saxophone Ben Webster – tenor saxophone Harry Carney – baritone saxophone Barney Bigard – clarinet Rex Stewart – cornet Ray Nance, Wallace Jones – trumpet Tricky Sam Nanton, Juan Tizol, Lawrence Brown – trombone Jimmy Blanton – bass Fred Guy – guitar Sonny Greer – drums Ivie Anderson, Herb Jeffries – vocals Murderers row!
	🥁 9:27am WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:27 Thank you!
	9:30am Jeff Golick: In 1978, this 1940 stuff must have seemed impossibly old. (From our vantage, it's 85 years old.)
	9:31am StringOFperils: I'd love to know the details of how this was recorded; it's remarkably good, considering what would have been possible, live, with so many variables involved. Amazing!
	🥁 9:32am WR: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:30 I think that depends on how old you were in 1978. If you were 74 in 78 or if you were 24.
	🥁 9:33am tom tom the pipers son: i think you can hear similar "baroque" dynamics to be bop, bop just more condensed and faster. i think one of the things that inspired bop was entrepreneur-ship and the feeling i can do this by myself.
	9:33am Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @9:32 Ah, yeah, good point. (I was ten in '78, so I was probably speaking for myself...)
	9:34am StringOFperils: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:30 As impossibly old as 1987
	9:34am patrick321: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:30 I was 22 and it wasn't initially accessible to my rock radio ears, but I persisted.
	9:36am Jeff Golick: ↳ StringOFperils @9:31 Burris and Towers set up in a rush. They had a recording turntable with a sapphire-tipped cutter that carved v-tracks in 16-inch acetate discs. They placed the recorder next to Ellington’s piano with two additional microphones, one up high and one down low at the front of the stage. After the orchestra played two or three warm-up pieces, Ellington came out to his piano. The band played “Sepia Panorama,” its broadcast theme — local radio station KVOX broadcast part of the show live — and, “Away the program went.” By all accounts the night was magical. Between 600 and 800 people paid the $1.30 advance ticket price to see the show. Bill Snyder, a 1942 NDAC graduate, was one of them. He remembers band members propping their sheet music on satchels because there weren’t any music stands. “I used to go there all the time,” Snyder said of the Crystal. “Ballrooms were a big deal in those days. It was a lot of fun.” Some of the revelers twirled through the lights reflected from the two-foot diameter glass ball sus- pended from the ceiling, while others gathered around the stage to watch the greatest band in the land swing the house. They were on, baby. Stanley Dance, freelance writer and long-time Ellington friend, says the recording captured an evening when the orchestra was hitting all the notes. Dance wrote “The World of Duke Ellington,” helped write two other books about the legendary bandleader, and delivered the eulogy at Ellington’s funeral. “The Duke’s career covered a long period and this was a very happy illustration of the band at that time, when it was a very good band, indeed,” he said. “I would add that there are few live recordings (of Ellington) any better than this.” Burris and Towers worked their equipment, only missing sections of songs when they were forced to change discs or when the microphones couldn’t pick up the soloists. During intermissions they played back numbers for the band members. Ben Webster, tenor saxophon- ist, asked them to put on a fresh disc for a piece he’d worked up with bassist Jimmy Blanton. It was the first time the rest of the orchestra had heard “Star Dust,” but the musicians joined right in. Later, Ellington, “in his coat and porkpie hat,” requested a playback of “Whispering Grass.” The two men cut 5 1/2 discs, 15 minutes per side. “We had no thoughts other than just the thrill of being there, recording, and having something we could play for our own amazement,” Towers said. “We had no thoughts whatsoever of recording any- thing that anybody would be listening to 40 or 50 or 60 years down the line.”

	🥁 9:44am Listener Gregory: Trying to figure out the announcer prattling in the background, until I realize that this must have been a live radio recording as well. Probably Jeff said this in minute 1.
	🥁 9:45am DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Warm Valley" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" I'm not a violent person but I was very annoyed at that emcee for deciding to speak over Johnny Hodges
	9:45am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:44 Yup. I think that's the last of him? The broadcast was only 30 minutes, or so I gather.
	9:46am StringOFperils: That record lathe must have weighed a ton.
	9:46am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @9:45 For real.
	🥁 9:47am WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:44 From the info Jeff pasted in above, part of the performance was broadcst but the recordists tried to record the whole performance.
	9:50am Stork: Hiya, and Snappy Goo Gears, Stream-Dreamers! What a pure pleasure is to Duke with you all!
	🥁 9:51am WR: ↳ DJ Peter @9:45 The idea is to leave you wanting more so that next time you go to the venue. But you know that and pending GA release of the ELON time machine, you are responding from within the parameters you have.
	🥁 9:52am Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @9:45 No jury would convict you.
	9:53am StringOFperils: Don't shoot the radio announcer.
	9:53am Jeff Golick: ↳ Stork @9:50 Happy 2025, my Sunday brother!

	10:08am adamdoesit: ↳ hyde @9:43 hyde, thanks -- I'll check it out.
	10:08am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @10:07 Al Smith: probably pro-congestion pricing!

	10:12am Roberto: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:08 He was definitely pro-wet dream!
	10:12am Jeff Golick: ↳ Roberto @10:12 Ayo, Roberto! Comin' in hot!
	10:13am Roberto: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:12 It was in his presidential campaign slogan.
	10:14am adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:08 Sadly, had it been a thing at the time, he'd probably have sided with his protege Robert Moses, who would certainly have been against, and whose works and preferences resulted in our unenviable congestion today.
	10:15am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @10:14 Oof, you're probably right, adamdoesit.
	10:22am adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:15 If I sound like a guy who's just now reading The Power Broker and seeing our infrastructure in a new and still harsher light… it's cos I am.
	10:24am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @10:22 Oh, yeah. That was my experience, too. Forever colored my view of NYC.
	🥁 10:24am Listener Gregory: Coincidentally, I just opened an email from NY EZpass, informing me that my account with them will be paying the congestion fee. Glad that I don't have to register for one more account (not that I have plans to drive into the city soon).

	10:29am Jeff Golick: Yeah, luka! Thanks for checking in.
	🥁 10:36am Doug Schulkind: ↳ adamdoesit @10:22 adamdoesit, I am a Robert Caro fanboy. I rabidly urge you to read his many-volumed (and agonizingly as yet incomplete) Johnson biography.
	🥁 10:38am Listener Gregory: I met a cab driver years ago in Champaign, Illinois, who told me that that town had at least 5 bands back in the day. When fraternities and sororities had dances, they had to have live music, and every weekend there would be a few such parties, plus maybe a wedding, etc. I imagine that most of the musicians had other jobs, but it is still a lot of musician gigs. Occasionally a nationally popular band like Ellington's might put on a concert too. Those days are gone.
	🥁 10:38am DJ Peter: Just looked it up: in 2025 terms, the ticket was $29.30. So I guess if you were taking your sweetheart out dancing, you paid $58.60 for starters. Pretty good deal!
	🥁 10:38am WR: Regarding the price of admission, one web search hit says "adjusted for inflation, $1.30 in 1940 is equal to $28.48 in 2024. Annual inflation over this period was 3.74%." Quite reasonable,
	🥁 10:39am DJ Peter: Great minds, WR
	🥁 10:39am Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @10:38 @WR, you owe DJ Peter 82 cents.
	10:39am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @10:38 I think our two Wicked tickets for later this afternoon cost more than that.
	10:40am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:36 Doug! Hiya. I thought the clarion Caro call might flush you out...
	10:40am adamdoesit: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:36 Doug, I believe it: encyclopedist recognizes encyclopedist. I look forward to embarking on it, sometime after the next 600-odd pages and a little rest.
	10:40am coelacanth∅: g'morning Jeff, OUTies
	10:40am StringOFperils: ↳ WR @10:38 Immediately preceded by a decade of seemingly bottomless economic depression.
	10:41am Jeff Golick: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:40 Morning, coelacanth∅!
	10:43am StringOFperils: Until the States decided to join the war, and manufacturing took off, a lot of folks probably still didn't have two nickels to rub together
	🥁 10:45am WR: ↳ Song: "Boy Meets Horn" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Great trumpet 🎺plunger 🪠 work.
	🥁 10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That WWII followed the Depression should be emphasized & reflected upon in every School & every exposition of History.
	10:46am StringOFperils: ...and of course, enlisting. My grandfather and his brother did that, cuz I think it was pretty hungry until then. They were too old, but that bought them 6 years of 'employment. somewhere in the European theatre of combat..
	🥁 10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:45 ...& of course how the unsatisfactory resolution of WWI made WWII inevitable - & in fact it's just one War setting the stage for the next all the way back & forward ...but I digress...
	10:48am Jeff Golick: Meanwhile, 1940: folks walking around with living memories of the Civil War.
	10:48am StringOFperils: I'm sure the diversion was as welcome then as it is right this minute, and probably via radio mostly, if your living room had one. If you had a living room. If you had a home....etcc
	🥁 10:49am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @10:48 Everyone knows them as Old Folks!
	🥁 10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In fact - the interval from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, & the Civil War to WWII is about the same as the one from WWII to now - as we Astrology enthusiasts are noting re ♅Uranus Cycles (~84 years) in U.S. History...
	🥁 10:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:49 PhilSchaap spoke - well - @ length about this in relation to Bird's version of that song...
	10:52am coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:46 but no economy will flourish because of war today, except the personal economies of a few individuals.
	🥁 10:52am WR: ↳ Song: "The Five O'Clock Whistle" by "Duke Ellington & Hi... who's blowing that damned whistle? LOL
	🥁 10:52am Doug Schulkind: Was that Ivie Anderson singing? The tune was a signature of her's with Ellington, but couldn't quite tell if it was her.
	10:52am StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:52 I do believe you are witnessing the plans for that being laid out as we speak
	🥁 10:53am hyde: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:38 it was really amplified sound that killed dance bands
	10:53am Jeff Golick: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:50 C'mon, man, trying for escapism here.
	10:54am StringOFperils: Anyway, save to say that context looms large....a testament to how this great art can loom larger
	🥁 10:54am Listener Gregory: Now, THIS is sounding like Phil Schaap!
	10:54am Jeff Golick: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:52 It was Ivie, yes. Our amateur tapers less interested in vocalists, it seems.
	🥁 10:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:52 Certainly worth noting. Point I want to make is - economic inequity seeds discontent, nationalism & War.
	🥁 10:56am Doug Schulkind: Nice! I am also an Ivie Anderson fanboy!
	🥁 10:56am Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In Rhythm" by "Duke Ellington & His Orche... Weather Report was to cover this song in 1980.
	🥁 10:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Since Duke is always exalted as 'the Beethoven of Jazz' - meaning the best most Classic & developed expression of this U.S. American Art Form ...& I've heard very little - this exposition is much appreciated.
	🥁 10:59am hyde: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:56 actually released as a 45, haha
	🥁 10:59am doctorjazz: The nice thing about finding this live Ellington of the time is that the band was powerful, swinging! I love the studio versions, but they could sound polite, compared to, say, Easier, but they rocked live!
	🥁 11:00am doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @10:59 ...compared to Basie...
	🥁 11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is said the Art of Orchestration is using the whole ensemble as your palette...
	🥁 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @10:59 Yeah the comparison to SamCooke like that very astute I thot...
	🥁 11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @11:00 - who always Rocked, yeah ? But Duke was finer - is what they always say ?
	11:02am StringOFperils: An emblem of eloquence
	11:02am Jeff Golick: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:00 Ellington talked about writing for the musician, and not the instrument(s).
	🥁 11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:01 ...tempted to say like Beatles vs. Stones...
	11:05am Jeff Golick: ↳ Song: "Cotton Tail (Incomplete)" by "Duke Ellington & Hi... Ben Webster was the first tenor player to join Duke's band.
	🥁 11:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:02 Maybe a little different than the Classical situation like that ? Tho you'd have (say) First Violin & Soloists... Duke of course as Composer with then in real time...
	🥁 11:06am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:05 Interesting. Tenor was not very popular until Coleman Hawkins invented it.
	11:07am adamdoesit: In times of distress (e.g., now), I often find myself returning to the music and movies of 1940-41. This special show meets me right where I am. Thanks, Jeff G.
	11:08am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @11:07 My pleasure, adamdoesit. You and me both. I couldn't get enough of this stuff this past week.
	🥁 11:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:05 with the*M
	🥁 11:10am doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:03 Not a bad comparison, have to say!
	11:11am Jeff Golick: For anyone interested, I'm playing the Storyville 60th anniversary edition, which is also available at Bandcamp.
	🥁 11:17am Listener Gregory: It is interesting that the band brings two vocalists on the road to sing only a few songs.
	11:18am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:17 Yeah, wondered if they felt slighted, or more like, "Hey, easy gig!"
	🥁 11:20am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:18 I think that performers want to perform. Also, it wasn't like they could go home early or anything.
	11:25am Dean: Buried on p.19 of the Nov. 7, '40, NYT: Indian Sultan Weds Rumanian LONDON, Nov. 6 (AP) -- The fabulously wealthy Sultan Ibrahim of Johore, 67, married Marcella Mendl, blonde Rumanian beauty, today. The bride will be 25 years old tomorrow. The Sultan has ruled his Indian state for forty-five years. Elsewhere in the issue, an ad for Hearns, "America's Largest Liquor Store," 74 5th Ave., featuring a 1928 Berlan Burgundy on sale for $1.29.
	🥁 11:26am doctorjazz: I think it wasn't unusual for a big band to have 2 singers (a male and a singer), and bring them out intermittently (imagine, people came out to listen and dance mostly to instrumental music). Then Billie, Sinatra, and others brought singers to the forefront.
	🥁 11:27am Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @11:26 You're right. It's just the economics that is somewhat baffling to me. Two full-time employees!
	🥁 11:27am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:27 And on the road you have to pay for their transportation and lodging.
	🥁 11:28am hyde: ↳ Dean @11:25 they met in an air raid shelter! The sultan got around, he was previously married to a Malaysian princess and a Scotswoman
	11:28am Jeff Golick: ↳ Dean @11:25 Dean! What a time it was.
	11:28am adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Honeysuckle Rose" by "Duke Ellington & His Orches... Ray Nance?
	11:29am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:27 Probably various other tasks on the roster. Cooking, bed-making, hooking up with relatives for places to stay, bus driving. Finding out where the back doors were...
	🥁 11:29am Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @11:25 I am about his age, so if any Rumanian beauties are interested in marriage, DM me. Will also accept Romanians.
	🥁 11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Singer thing maybe underscores the relations between Jazz, Dance & Pop ? It was of course Swing that 'won the War'... & I suppose with Duke the aspiration to another thing - the Concert...
	11:30am Jeff Golick: ↳ adamdoesit @11:28 Yeah, newest band member Ray Nance. Had just replaced Cootie Williams!
	🥁 11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & of course the PostWar transition to Electricity made all the difference in Pop over time - smaller bands doing different things ...tho with Bop it happened in Jazz too...
	11:33am adamdoesit: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:30 Wow. He sounds sure as can be. I guess you'd have to be to stand up and swing a solo in front of a band like that.
	11:33am rw: Good morning!
	🥁 11:34am hyde: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 smaller electrically amplified bands. you don't need to pay 30 musicians anymore when 5 people are just as loud
	🥁 11:34am Listener Gregory: This is not a short concert. The audience got its money worth, times 3.
	🥁 11:34am doctorjazz: Think I have a 2 LP set of this somewhere in the racks, have to check (the Bandcamp is a digital download-there are some physical copies on Discogs...)
	11:35am bigplanetnoise: Morning, Jeff and all!
	11:35am rw: I hadn’t known of this tradition of starting the year with Ellington, but I like it.
	11:35am Jeff Golick: rw! bigplanetnoise!
	🥁 11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe even like it split in two : Pop ~ R&B went Electric - & Jazz was no longer Popular Dance music @ all - but went Underground & more intimate...
	11:35am Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:34 YES. I imagine the band outlasted most dancers.
	11:36am Ike: Morning!
	🥁 11:36am doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:27 I don't quite get it either, but it seem pre-war, and during the war, it was easier to afford a big band than it was afterwards. Whether they just paid starvation wages, living was much cheaper, some combination of the above, after the war most big bands could no longer afford to go on.
	🥁 11:36am hyde: ↳ hyde @11:34 or you can just play records through amps and you don't even need to pay a band
	🥁 11:37am Listener Gregory: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:35 People danced to avoid freezing to death.
	11:37am Jeff Golick: Good morn, Ike!
	🥁 11:37am WR: ↳ Song: "Star Dust" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" As noted in the notes Jeff posted, Ben Webster.
	🥁 11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ hyde @11:36 ...well now we have machines making the Musics. Soon they'll listen to it for us as well...
	🥁 11:37am doctorjazz: ↳ hyde @11:36 Or have one keyboard player, with digitral accompaniment...
	11:38am Jeff Golick: ↳ WR @11:37 First live go of this tune, I believe! The band just kind of comping behind, figuring it out.
	🥁 11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ hyde @11:36 ...that of course was called Disco - & it wasn't kitsch or cute when I lived thru it where I was...
	11:38am mic_a: A keyboard player IS digital accompaniment. (sorry, had to)
	🥁 11:39am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Star Dust" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Webster started out as a monster blower, Coleman Hawkins follower, blew the roof off. But he's starting to soften, widen vibrato, becomming Gentle Ben...
	🥁 11:39am DJ Peter: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:30 "Triple Threat Ray Nance" does Nance play violin anywhere on this recording? I'm guessing no. Now I'm curious to know when Ellington first featured him on that instrument.
	🥁 11:39am Listener Gregory: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 Think how that will free up our Sunday mornings!
	🥁 11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:39 ...could still be sleeping...
	11:40am Jeff Golick: ↳ DJ Peter @11:39 He got a feature on "Honeysuckle Rose," a few songs back.
	11:40am Jeff Golick: ↳ doctorjazz @11:39 Webster credits Johnny Hodges (who he sat next to on the bandstand) for teaching him how to play.
	🥁 11:40am WR: ↳ DJ Peter @11:39 I thought we heard Nance playing violin on the tune before his vocal.
	🥁 11:41am doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:37 That sort of is what digital algorithms that suggest music for you based on what you've played do...
	11:42am Dean: An ad for Roger Kent, a clothier: "For years we have been advising our patrons to omit cuffs from the trousers of their business suits. Now, we are gratified to see this omission becoming more and more acceptable among men whose sense of correctness is unimpeachable. Cuffless trousers represent a sound, authentic trend, and not just a fad." I concur. The cost for a suit? $35
	11:43am Jeff Golick: ↳ Dean @11:42 When trends and fads were two different things.
	11:43am StringOFperils: Ahh for the halcyon days when correctness was unimpeachable. sigh.
	11:43am mackeral: ↳ Dean @11:42 "cuffless trousers represent a sound..." this guy gets it...
	11:44am Jeff Golick: ↳ mackeral @11:43 Ha! Hey, mackeral!
	🥁 11:45am doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "St. Louis Blues" by "Duke Ellington & His Orchestra" Webster's tone still a buzzsaw!
	🥁 11:45am Listener Gregory: I also wonder at the difference between the two vocalists. Anderson sounds like a jazz singer to me, but Jeffries doesn't. He's more of a balladeer.
	11:46am Dean: Plus ça change: BANDITS STEAL BALLOTS Masked Men in Kentucky Take Box Containing 435 Votes
	🥁 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Trap Set of Drums is short for 'contraption'. In no native tradition does one Drummer play more than one Drum ...so was always about trying to get more self-sufficient with fewer players... But perhaps like what happened with Analog & Digital formats : the Music was always getting Bigger & more dynamic in the 20th Century. Then with Digital - more compressed & Smaller all the time to fit storage & transmission. Like things relegated to Museums are always made Smaller & put under glass...
	11:46am Ike: ↳ Jeff Golick @11:37 Have you tried anything at the new Dukan Syko? I see they have manoushe in the back (little Middle Eastern flatbread snacks). I had some amazing manoushe in Rockville MD recently so I wonder if these are as good.
	🥁 11:47am WR: Seems in thus aet that they figured out where the vocalist should stand to be picked up by the mic. Interesting and warm collegiality between the band and the recordists.
	11:47am Jeff Golick: ↳ Ike @11:46 Spinach pie things only -- were good! Worth a shot.
	🥁 11:48am doctorjazz: Thanks, Jeff, loved the show! HNY all!
	🥁 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:45 Perhaps that's why have two. Like Duke thinking of Musicians not Instruments that way...
	🥁 11:48am DJ Peter: ↳ WR @11:40 wow so straight out the gate!
	11:48am Ike: ↳ doctorjazz @11:48 Thanks! Walked past Tacoomar (Taco Omar?) the other day. Hadn’t noticed it before. Looks more expensive than El Tenampa — I bet that’s just as good if you’re anywhere near 4th Ave.! Or are you over in Windsor T. like Jonathan Herweg?
	11:50am Ike: Anybody here in the D.C. area — go try Z&Z Manoushe in Rockville!
	🥁 11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wow. That was immersive to emerge from now. There are other worlds & Musics ??...
	🥁 11:51am Listener Gregory: Thanks a lot, Jeff. How you selected such an excellent collection of songs I really don't know. Happy New Year to all who are not hiding in a bunker. OK, to the bunker people too! Heading out, as the thermometer has reached the freezing mark.
	🥁 11:51am WR: I agree, seemed like the 2nd set was more expensive. More choruses.
	🥁 11:52am WR: ↳ WR @11:51 expansive! damn typo vs autocorrect...
	🥁 11:52am tom tom the pipers son: thanks jeff...
	🥁 11:52am chresti: Thanks Jeff!
	11:53am Dean: TWA flights from NYC to LA, 4 flights daily, $149.95 (10% REDUCTION ON ROUND TRIPS) "It's only 15 hours, 38 minutes to Los Angeles, when you fly the Route of the Stratoliners..."
	11:53am adamdoesit: I tend to think of the second set as the more blowing even today (though it isn't always so). I've got new records in my Bandcamp wishlist, new books on my NYPL hold list, and a heart newly filled with music. Thank you, Jeff G. That was nourishing af.
	11:53am Ike: BTW I haven’t listened to any Sun Ra lately but want to get back into him after seeing the Met exhibit featuring him (Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876-Now). Fave albums? Start anywhere?
	11:53am ?: thanks jeff!!
	🥁 11:53am DJ Peter: Jeff, thanks for "making" me pay attention to that recording again. So rewarding.
	11:54am mic_a: Thanks Jeff. Best wishes everyone.
	11:55am StringOFperils: Beautiful way to start the year, Jeff. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!
	🥁 11:56am WR: ↳ Ike @11:53 Last night David Mittleman featured Sun Ra.
	11:56am mackeral: ↳ Ike @11:53 I enjoyed Excelsior Mill recently
	11:56am mackeral: thanks for that, Jeff
