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.

I've recently listened again to the Alcorn, McPhee, and Vandermark record (premium this hour), which is very good. After Susan Alcorn's very untimely death recently, we won't be getting much more of such work. Recommended!

Hello everyone! My DJ premium this year is a DIY "try this at home" CD called "Choose Your Own Wreck Your Own Adventure." It features Wreck theme songs (by Karl Ward), the opening montage, my music beds, clips, bumpers, etc. It's fun!

apparently he is listed on trumpet on Silkheart's OTHER DIMENSIONS IN MUSIC, with William Parker on No Business, and with Matthew Shipp on hatOLOGY
