Listener comments!
	🕰 ♥ 5:58pm WR: Hi DJ Peter and folks.
	🕰 ♥ 6:03pm adamdoesit: Hello DJ Peter and horologists, whatever your ovocentric holiday of choice.
	♥ 6:04pm tom tom the pipers son: hi peter howzit…. everyone...
	🕰 ♥ 6:05pm DJ Peter: Hi WR, adamdoesit (oh you're right there are eggs in both aren't there) and tom tom the pipers son!
	6:06pm ?: we all came from eggs
	🕰 ♥ 6:07pm DJ Peter: ashes to ashes, eggs to eggs
	🕰 ♥ 6:09pm Listener Gregory: I didn't turn on at the beginning, because I was afraid that Peter would make the squad do calisthenics again.
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm newton: Mental exercises.
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dream A Dream" by "Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio" Did anyone see this group live on YouTube a few weeks ago? I was a bit surprised that the other musicians played as much if not more than Fujii. It wasn't the standard piano trio format.
	🕰 ♥ 6:11pm DJ Peter: not that kind of squad, fortunately! newton is right, auditory and cranial stretching is necessary
	🕰 ♥ 6:14pm newton: which is more environmentally costly? A vinyl record made from oil, a CD also plastic from oil and rare earth metals, or cloud storage which likely uses both the others and then uses energy in perpetuity?
	🕰 ♥ 6:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ newton @6:14 Does a CD use rare earth metals?!
	🕰 ♥ 6:19pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:17 well there's the metal coating that encodes the data, and then there's the CD player/computer
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Dream A Dream" by "Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio" this is a very spacious recording, i'm listening on headphones for the first time and i thought some of the cymbal sound was behind me or outside the headphones. lovely!
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:11 Here's the recent show, which still seems available. I had planned to see them in person but just got too busy. www.youtube.com...
	6:21pm fractal84: I love CDs
	🕰 ♥ 6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:20 oh excellent thanks for that link!
	🕰 ♥ 6:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ fractal84 @6:21 let's get that on a t-shirt!
	🕰 ♥ 6:23pm adamdoesit: ↳ newton @6:19 The metal in a CD is aluminum. Not a rare earth, but refining it from bauxite takes a whole lot of power. Nickname: solid electricity.
	6:23pm fractal84: They make a lot more practical sense in so many ways. The vinyl craze is just object fetish. Swirly limited edition blah
	♥ 6:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @6:22 or “how i stopped worryingv and learned to love cds"
	6:24pm fractal84: Is this a CD we are listening to now?
	🕰 ♥ 6:25pm newton: in stead of CDs we should just hire musician s to follow us around and play live!!
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 6:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @6:26 pot8o -- you used to be a wandering troubadour, yes?
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ fractal84 @6:24 the record labels mostly give DJs watermarked files. But my other radio station gets so many CDs it's crazy. Maybe 5% make it into the library
	♥ 6:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:25 with this seeming whiplash of reactionary... history?or is it just events planning now…the days of medieval minstrels as well as the more recent brand of minstrelsy may be making a comeback..but nevermind both art forms are resilient...
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ newton @6:25 That's it! And to think that all this time we've been following them…
	🕰 ♥ 6:35pm adamdoesit: Anyway, this is why the true ecologically-minded hifi enthusiast insists on wax cylinders and shellac discs. Don't panic: they're organic.
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm newton: no need for a walkman when you go on your evening run, in fact you may run even better when you feel you are being chased by a band of musicians
	🕰 ♥ 6:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Buster's Last Stand" by "Ryan Truesdell" You know, there is a non-zero probability that I heard this band during that run at the Jazz Standard, which I miss very much because it had wonderful food. Oh, and music too.
	🕰 ♥ 6:38pm DJ Peter: as a strange think piece, a friend wrote an essay about which classic rock bands would be best on foot. He concluded that the Beatles of 1964, who were electric but all played hollow body instruments (including McCartney) were the tops
	🕰 ♥ 6:39pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @6:38 last place would probably be the grateful dead with the wall of sound setup, gigantic percussion racks, and multiple keyboards
	🕰 ♥ 6:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:38 They told my cousin that his piccolo-and-snare-drum band would never work, but he would be laughing at them now!
	🕰 ♥ 6:40pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @6:38 o weird, thought you called McCartney a hollow body, I'd say semi hollow?
	♥ 6:40pm tom tom the pipers son: in college i carried a boombox around with me …a bit of an anomaly in new england
	🕰 ♥ 6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @6:40 ouch! i of course meant his Hofner bass guitar!
	♥ 6:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 i thought i had something but lost the thread...
	6:44pm wenzo: Perhaps they represent two separate witnesses accounts of said last stand
	🕰 ♥ 6:44pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:43 I am not a reactionary lashing a whip at history
	🕰 ♥ 6:45pm newton: are hofner basses thru-neck?
	♥ 6:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:44 i like that image….but i hope you are joking…i was NOT implying that...
	🕰 ♥ 6:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ wenzo @6:44 Oh that is the most likely explanation
	🕰 ♥ 6:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @6:45 not sure... but guessing not since they go out of tune easily?
	♥ 6:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:44 that image is very thomas nast...
	🕰 ♥ 6:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Goli Dance" by "Dave Liebman" Well, at least the covers are typical ECM style.
	🕰 ♥ 6:49pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:47 you know I joke a lot, and enjoy just rearranging, redecorating language
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ newton @6:49 There is no joking on The Laughing Clock.
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm newton: uh oh
	🕰 ♥ 6:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:49 when you close your eyes and picture an ECM artist... do you picture chest hair?
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:53 No! It may have been this picture that made Manfred change the cover style.
	♥ 6:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:49 had a thought about mungo thomson show, in particular …the gallery of “time” mirrors”…. the only reason the gallery needed to be installed full of them was the rational of the interior decorator…like the number of pictures you have is determined by the number of couches you have….or something like that…but felt it was interior decorating...
	🕰 ♥ 7:01pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:57 tasteful and useful, art doubles as hall mirror
	♥ 7:02pm tom tom the pipers son: been hearin/ seeing a lot about freddie hubbard recently….ie. ny times artcle abou he and lee morgan
	🕰 ♥ 7:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:02 Was that recent?
	♥ 7:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:01 maybe it’s subversive…a trojan horse for collectors
	♥ 7:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:03 yes lemme see...
	♥ 7:05pm tom tom the pipers son: www.nytimes.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:05 Thanks, tom-2.
	♥ 7:06pm coelacanth∅))): Good evening Peter
	♥ 7:07pm tom tom the pipers son: 👍🏻
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Ground Floor" by "Tim Berne & Bill Frisell" This pair recorded a concert later (?), which went unreleased forever, until Berne found it and released it on Bandcamp last year. The concert was mostly Berne compositions, while I believe this one is improvised. screwgunrecords.bandcamp.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: hello))) coel))).
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:07 the tracks are all credited to "berne & frisell" fwiw
	🕰 ♥ 7:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:08 Yes; I take that to mean that they made them up on the spot. I don't see them sitting over manuscript paper together, working on the tunes.
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 dunno? there's overdubbing, from both of them... implies a form they were working with?
	🕰 ♥ 7:12pm Little Danny: hello!
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Little Danny: ooo that james moody is a fun obscure one
	♥ 7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: tuba feels like the right instrument for leger
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 Could be, or could have just been something they decided after the basic track was laid down.
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @7:13 Hey Danny! I thought so too but then i saw Doug had played the same track... and recently...!
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:13 this track only has two tubas. another track has three.
	♥ 7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! only...
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm newton: Im making white been soup with the back end of the baked ham. started soaking the beans last night
	🕰 ♥ 7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:22 yum. when will it be ready?
	🕰 ♥ 7:24pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @7:14 Richard Foy - alto sax, sopranino sax, tenor sax Nano Peylet - soprano sax Eric Tallet - tenor sax Xavier Le Masse - flute, piccolo Denis Colin - bass clarinet, clarinet Francois Creamer - bass clarinet Veronique Fevre - clarinet Jean Querlier - oboe Alex Perdigon - trombone Philippe Henry - trombone Philippe Lapeyre - trombone Guillermo Fellove - trumpet Howard Hyde - trumpet Michel Torreilles - trumpet Bernard Neuranter - tuba Philippe Legris - tuba Bernard Horreaux - cello Denis Cuniot - piano Mireille Bauer - vibraphone Pierre Montarelli - double bass Michel Risse - drums
	♥ 7:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:22 that sounds hearty in both the process and end product
	🕰 ♥ 7:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @7:24 thanks pot8o!
	🕰 ♥ 7:27pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @7:25 i double checked and i forgot a few people but i don't wanna clog the chat again
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ pot8o @7:27 Please add more tubas!
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dahil sa iyo" by "Muñeses/Printup" I had assumed that Irabagon was playing on this, but I see he isn't. So he's just a record executive!
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm pot8o: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Richard Foy - alto sax, sopranino sax, tenor sax Jean-Pierre Chaty - bass sax Nano Peylet - soprano sax Eric Tallet - tenor sax Xavier Le Masse - flute, piccolo Denis Colin - bass clarinet, clarinet Francois Creamer - bass clarinet Veronique Fevre - clarinet Jean Querlier - oboe Alex Perdigon - trombone (1-5) Guy Figlionlos - trombone (4) Mark Sims - trombone (6) Patrick Sabaton - trombone (6) Philippe Henry - trombone Philippe Lapeyre - trombone Guillermo Fellove - trumpet Howard Hyde - trumpet (1-5) Jean-Luc Degioanni - trumpet (6) Philippe Slominski - trumpet (6) Pierre Sauvageot - trumpet (6) Michel Torreilles - trumpet Bernard Neuranter - tuba Philippe Laroza - tuba (6) Philippe Legris - tuba Bernard Horreaux - cello Denis Cuniot - piano Mireille Bauer - vibraphone, percussion Pierre Montarelli - double bass Michel Risse - drums, percussion Pablo Cueco - percussion
	🕰 ♥ 7:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ pot8o @7:33 Bass sax! Even better than a tuba.
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Part Three" by "Keiji Haino & Natsuki Tamura" the first jazz album i've heard that uses a rubber chicken as an instrument
	♥ 7:40pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ pot8o @7:35 Svengoulie's favorite record.
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @7:35 but not the last, amiright?! hey BUMP!

	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:44 two tubas, two bouquets... my cup runneth over!
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm newton: 2 tuba? I thought three!
	🕰 ♥ 7:49pm pot8o: ↳ newton @7:47 3rd one's only on the last track
	🕰 ♥ 7:57pm newton: this had a little amuse bouche of info victo.qc.ca...
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm DJ Peter: my bouche still wants more info! but is amused, merci!
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm Listener Gregory: Peter, as promised, I found and listened to my "classical" Mel Powell record—one side of his non-tonal compositions plus an electronic piece (which I think you played). It was better than I remembered. You have to give it good attention; it seemed more lyrical than many 12-tone compositions that sound like random sequences of notes to me. Now I have to listen to the Milton Babbitt piece on the other side... sigh.
	🕰 ♥ 8:04pm newton: my ears always like the BGT. A friend of mine in college grew up next door to the Calloways. Said he and his brothers were always ove rthere eatin. I was like, everybody eats when they come to my house!
	🕰 ♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:03 you don't HAVE to listen! there's no such thing as musical vegetables!
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 theres a orchestra of vegetables
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm newton: www.vegetableorchestra.org
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:05 i stand corrected
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:04 Wait the Calloways came over? Or your friend went to theirs?
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm newton: friend and his brothers went there, mrs calloway was into cooking
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:07 trop bouquets garni chez Calloway!
	🕰 ♥ 8:24pm newton: the world needs more vibes!!
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:24 no argument from me!
	🕰 ♥ 8:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Choo Choo" by "The Hemphill Stringtet" When does Tomeka Reid sleep?
	🕰 ♥ 8:37pm newton: sorry, here is an obit for Paul Cram www.donaldkwalker.ca...
	🕰 ♥ 8:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:37 well that explains why his website hasn't been updated... RIP
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm pot8o: if anyone wants more stuff in this vein, check out the album chamberpot simon mayo - clarinet, tony wren - double bass, richard beswick - oboe & cor anglais, philipp wachsmann - violin
	🕰 ♥ 8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Ediface" by "Arcado String Trio" This is a downtown string supergroup! I wonder if I have this… it’s the kind of thing I would buy back then. (And now.)

	🕰 ♥ 4:53pm doctorjazz: Almost done with catch up listen-dug that Yazz Ahmed and The Hemphill Stringtet. Keep playing that older/classic jazz as well, dug the Powell set (tried listening to Thursday's tribute while driving with my family; when we got to the Modern American Music for Harpsichord, I looked over at the Passenger Seat and MsJazz was sitting with her fingers in her ears...that didn't work well...) Catch you next time, thanks!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from April 13, 2025

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.

	🕰 ♥ 6:19pm newton: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:17 well there's the metal coating that encodes the data, and then there's the CD player/computer
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Dream A Dream" by "Satoko Fujii Tokyo Trio" this is a very spacious recording, i'm listening on headphones for the first time and i thought some of the cymbal sound was behind me or outside the headphones. lovely!
	🕰 ♥ 6:20pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:11 Here's the recent show, which still seems available. I had planned to see them in person but just got too busy. www.youtube.com...
	6:21pm fractal84: I love CDs
	🕰 ♥ 6:21pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:20 oh excellent thanks for that link!
	🕰 ♥ 6:22pm DJ Peter: ↳ fractal84 @6:21 let's get that on a t-shirt!
	🕰 ♥ 6:23pm adamdoesit: ↳ newton @6:19 The metal in a CD is aluminum. Not a rare earth, but refining it from bauxite takes a whole lot of power. Nickname: solid electricity.
	6:23pm fractal84: They make a lot more practical sense in so many ways. The vinyl craze is just object fetish. Swirly limited edition blah
	♥ 6:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ DJ Peter @6:22 or “how i stopped worryingv and learned to love cds"
	6:24pm fractal84: Is this a CD we are listening to now?
	🕰 ♥ 6:25pm newton: in stead of CDs we should just hire musician s to follow us around and play live!!
	🕰 ♥ 6:26pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🕰 ♥ 6:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @6:26 pot8o -- you used to be a wandering troubadour, yes?
	🕰 ♥ 6:29pm DJ Peter: ↳ fractal84 @6:24 the record labels mostly give DJs watermarked files. But my other radio station gets so many CDs it's crazy. Maybe 5% make it into the library
	♥ 6:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:25 with this seeming whiplash of reactionary... history?or is it just events planning now…the days of medieval minstrels as well as the more recent brand of minstrelsy may be making a comeback..but nevermind both art forms are resilient...
	🕰 ♥ 6:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ newton @6:25 That's it! And to think that all this time we've been following them…
	🕰 ♥ 6:35pm adamdoesit: Anyway, this is why the true ecologically-minded hifi enthusiast insists on wax cylinders and shellac discs. Don't panic: they're organic.
	🕰 ♥ 6:36pm newton: no need for a walkman when you go on your evening run, in fact you may run even better when you feel you are being chased by a band of musicians
	🕰 ♥ 6:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Buster's Last Stand" by "Ryan Truesdell" You know, there is a non-zero probability that I heard this band during that run at the Jazz Standard, which I miss very much because it had wonderful food. Oh, and music too.
	🕰 ♥ 6:38pm DJ Peter: as a strange think piece, a friend wrote an essay about which classic rock bands would be best on foot. He concluded that the Beatles of 1964, who were electric but all played hollow body instruments (including McCartney) were the tops
	🕰 ♥ 6:39pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @6:38 last place would probably be the grateful dead with the wall of sound setup, gigantic percussion racks, and multiple keyboards
	🕰 ♥ 6:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:38 They told my cousin that his piccolo-and-snare-drum band would never work, but he would be laughing at them now!
	🕰 ♥ 6:40pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @6:38 o weird, thought you called McCartney a hollow body, I'd say semi hollow?
	♥ 6:40pm tom tom the pipers son: in college i carried a boombox around with me …a bit of an anomaly in new england
	🕰 ♥ 6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @6:40 ouch! i of course meant his Hofner bass guitar!
	♥ 6:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 i thought i had something but lost the thread...
	6:44pm wenzo: Perhaps they represent two separate witnesses accounts of said last stand
	🕰 ♥ 6:44pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:43 I am not a reactionary lashing a whip at history
	🕰 ♥ 6:45pm newton: are hofner basses thru-neck?
	♥ 6:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:44 i like that image….but i hope you are joking…i was NOT implying that...
	🕰 ♥ 6:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ wenzo @6:44 Oh that is the most likely explanation
	🕰 ♥ 6:48pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @6:45 not sure... but guessing not since they go out of tune easily?
	♥ 6:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:44 that image is very thomas nast...
	🕰 ♥ 6:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Goli Dance" by "Dave Liebman" Well, at least the covers are typical ECM style.
	🕰 ♥ 6:49pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:47 you know I joke a lot, and enjoy just rearranging, redecorating language
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ newton @6:49 There is no joking on The Laughing Clock.
	🕰 ♥ 6:50pm newton: uh oh
	🕰 ♥ 6:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @6:49 when you close your eyes and picture an ECM artist... do you picture chest hair?
	🕰 ♥ 6:56pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:53 No! It may have been this picture that made Manfred change the cover style.
	♥ 6:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:49 had a thought about mungo thomson show, in particular …the gallery of “time” mirrors”…. the only reason the gallery needed to be installed full of them was the rational of the interior decorator…like the number of pictures you have is determined by the number of couches you have….or something like that…but felt it was interior decorating...
	🕰 ♥ 7:01pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:57 tasteful and useful, art doubles as hall mirror
	♥ 7:02pm tom tom the pipers son: been hearin/ seeing a lot about freddie hubbard recently….ie. ny times artcle abou he and lee morgan
	🕰 ♥ 7:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:02 Was that recent?
	♥ 7:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:01 maybe it’s subversive…a trojan horse for collectors
	♥ 7:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:03 yes lemme see...
	♥ 7:05pm tom tom the pipers son: www.nytimes.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:05pm Listener Gregory: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:05 Thanks, tom-2.
	♥ 7:06pm coelacanth∅))): Good evening Peter
	♥ 7:07pm tom tom the pipers son: 👍🏻
	🕰 ♥ 7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Ground Floor" by "Tim Berne & Bill Frisell" This pair recorded a concert later (?), which went unreleased forever, until Berne found it and released it on Bandcamp last year. The concert was mostly Berne compositions, while I believe this one is improvised. screwgunrecords.bandcamp.com...
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: hello))) coel))).
	🕰 ♥ 7:08pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:07 the tracks are all credited to "berne & frisell" fwiw
	🕰 ♥ 7:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:08 Yes; I take that to mean that they made them up on the spot. I don't see them sitting over manuscript paper together, working on the tunes.
	🕰 ♥ 7:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:10 dunno? there's overdubbing, from both of them... implies a form they were working with?
	🕰 ♥ 7:12pm Little Danny: hello!
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Little Danny: ooo that james moody is a fun obscure one
	♥ 7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: tuba feels like the right instrument for leger
	🕰 ♥ 7:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 Could be, or could have just been something they decided after the basic track was laid down.
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ Little Danny @7:13 Hey Danny! I thought so too but then i saw Doug had played the same track... and recently...!
	🕰 ♥ 7:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:13 this track only has two tubas. another track has three.
	♥ 7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! only...
	🕰 ♥ 7:22pm newton: Im making white been soup with the back end of the baked ham. started soaking the beans last night
	🕰 ♥ 7:24pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:22 yum. when will it be ready?
	🕰 ♥ 7:24pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @7:14 Richard Foy - alto sax, sopranino sax, tenor sax Nano Peylet - soprano sax Eric Tallet - tenor sax Xavier Le Masse - flute, piccolo Denis Colin - bass clarinet, clarinet Francois Creamer - bass clarinet Veronique Fevre - clarinet Jean Querlier - oboe Alex Perdigon - trombone Philippe Henry - trombone Philippe Lapeyre - trombone Guillermo Fellove - trumpet Howard Hyde - trumpet Michel Torreilles - trumpet Bernard Neuranter - tuba Philippe Legris - tuba Bernard Horreaux - cello Denis Cuniot - piano Mireille Bauer - vibraphone Pierre Montarelli - double bass Michel Risse - drums
	♥ 7:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:22 that sounds hearty in both the process and end product
	🕰 ♥ 7:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @7:24 thanks pot8o!
	🕰 ♥ 7:27pm pot8o: ↳ DJ Peter @7:25 i double checked and i forgot a few people but i don't wanna clog the chat again
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ pot8o @7:27 Please add more tubas!
	🕰 ♥ 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dahil sa iyo" by "Muñeses/Printup" I had assumed that Irabagon was playing on this, but I see he isn't. So he's just a record executive!
	🕰 ♥ 7:33pm pot8o: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:28 Richard Foy - alto sax, sopranino sax, tenor sax Jean-Pierre Chaty - bass sax Nano Peylet - soprano sax Eric Tallet - tenor sax Xavier Le Masse - flute, piccolo Denis Colin - bass clarinet, clarinet Francois Creamer - bass clarinet Veronique Fevre - clarinet Jean Querlier - oboe Alex Perdigon - trombone (1-5) Guy Figlionlos - trombone (4) Mark Sims - trombone (6) Patrick Sabaton - trombone (6) Philippe Henry - trombone Philippe Lapeyre - trombone Guillermo Fellove - trumpet Howard Hyde - trumpet (1-5) Jean-Luc Degioanni - trumpet (6) Philippe Slominski - trumpet (6) Pierre Sauvageot - trumpet (6) Michel Torreilles - trumpet Bernard Neuranter - tuba Philippe Laroza - tuba (6) Philippe Legris - tuba Bernard Horreaux - cello Denis Cuniot - piano Mireille Bauer - vibraphone, percussion Pierre Montarelli - double bass Michel Risse - drums, percussion Pablo Cueco - percussion
	🕰 ♥ 7:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ pot8o @7:33 Bass sax! Even better than a tuba.
	🕰 ♥ 7:35pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Part Three" by "Keiji Haino & Natsuki Tamura" the first jazz album i've heard that uses a rubber chicken as an instrument
	♥ 7:40pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ pot8o @7:35 Svengoulie's favorite record.
	🕰 ♥ 7:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ pot8o @7:35 but not the last, amiright?! hey BUMP!
	🕰 ♥ 7:44pm newton: 2 bouquets garni 4 garlics, cup of sauvignon blanc carrot celery shallots.....
	🕰 ♥ 7:46pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @7:44 two tubas, two bouquets... my cup runneth over!
	🕰 ♥ 7:47pm newton: 2 tuba? I thought three!
	🕰 ♥ 7:49pm pot8o: ↳ newton @7:47 3rd one's only on the last track
	🕰 ♥ 7:57pm newton: this had a little amuse bouche of info victo.qc.ca...
	🕰 ♥ 8:00pm DJ Peter: my bouche still wants more info! but is amused, merci!
	🕰 ♥ 8:03pm Listener Gregory: Peter, as promised, I found and listened to my "classical" Mel Powell record—one side of his non-tonal compositions plus an electronic piece (which I think you played). It was better than I remembered. You have to give it good attention; it seemed more lyrical than many 12-tone compositions that sound like random sequences of notes to me. Now I have to listen to the Milton Babbitt piece on the other side... sigh.
	🕰 ♥ 8:04pm newton: my ears always like the BGT. A friend of mine in college grew up next door to the Calloways. Said he and his brothers were always ove rthere eatin. I was like, everybody eats when they come to my house!
	🕰 ♥ 8:04pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:03 you don't HAVE to listen! there's no such thing as musical vegetables!
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm newton: ↳ DJ Peter @8:04 theres a orchestra of vegetables
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm newton: www.vegetableorchestra.org
	🕰 ♥ 8:05pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:05 i stand corrected
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:04 Wait the Calloways came over? Or your friend went to theirs?
	🕰 ♥ 8:07pm newton: friend and his brothers went there, mrs calloway was into cooking
	🕰 ♥ 8:09pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:07 trop bouquets garni chez Calloway!
	🕰 ♥ 8:24pm newton: the world needs more vibes!!
	🕰 ♥ 8:27pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:24 no argument from me!
	🕰 ♥ 8:33pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Choo Choo" by "The Hemphill Stringtet" When does Tomeka Reid sleep?
	🕰 ♥ 8:37pm newton: sorry, here is an obit for Paul Cram www.donaldkwalker.ca...
	🕰 ♥ 8:41pm DJ Peter: ↳ newton @8:37 well that explains why his website hasn't been updated... RIP
	🕰 ♥ 8:42pm pot8o: if anyone wants more stuff in this vein, check out the album chamberpot simon mayo - clarinet, tony wren - double bass, richard beswick - oboe & cor anglais, philipp wachsmann - violin
	🕰 ♥ 8:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Ediface" by "Arcado String Trio" This is a downtown string supergroup! I wonder if I have this… it’s the kind of thing I would buy back then. (And now.)
	🕰 ♥ 8:50pm DJ Peter: Up Next: Mike Lupica! wfmu.org...
	🕰 ♥ 8:55pm doctorjazz: Company's just leaving (I'm beat). Playlist looks great, will catch up in the archives. Great week all!

	♥ 9:01pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:57 Hello/goodbye!
	🕰 ♥ 4:53pm doctorjazz: Almost done with catch up listen-dug that Yazz Ahmed and The Hemphill Stringtet. Keep playing that older/classic jazz as well, dug the Powell set (tried listening to Thursday's tribute while driving with my family; when we got to the Modern American Music for Harpsichord, I looked over at the Passenger Seat and MsJazz was sitting with her fingers in her ears...that didn't work well...) Catch you next time, thanks!
