Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from March 9, 2025 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

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.

May I chip in an unwanted opinion here? No? Well, I haven't been blocked yet, so...
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!

Ellington understood not just the instrumentalists but the instruments in his band so well... I read an interview once where he noted that having a valve trombonist enabled him to write certain lines that would be nearly impossible to execute on slide trombone (and then he got really specific about going from sixth position to second position)

We may all have friends and family who are in this position, though. I have a relative who listens to only Bruce Springsteen, so far as I can tell. And the number of oldies acts touring the country in secondary venues is just incredible. But these people are not listening to WFMU.

Maybe part of the wonder here is that listening to WFMU will in no way prevent you from enjoying Bruce, or an oldies act in a secondary venue. Rather, it will help you to deepen your appreciation of the musical past, and connect it to the eternal, ever-expanding musical now.
