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.

Gregory, I'm looking under the couch cushions now because I don't want to after January 20.
This is as good a time as any to remind everyone that on January 19 I'm dedicating the entire show to the President. Lester Young, that is.

I thought I was going to cook split pea soup. Instead, I've got instant pot rump roast, rice pilaf with peas, and roasted cauliflower with bacon fat and Aleppo pepper. Maybe I'll make soup of the leftovers.
Listener Gregory:
Was planning on cooking Italian sausage and cabbage from the farmer's market, but let's see if I ever stand up.
