Welcome to Monday Jazz...

Love this release!!❤️

Yeah, it's pretty sweet...

Beautiful start!

Greetings Dan Nice Larry McKenna opener.He still performs live but hard to find info.

Hey Patrick, Bri. He did a CD release party in Conshohoken I believe...

Who's in the photo? (Not Zaius. The other one.)

The great Carla Bley, up with a smoker next...

Carla.

Hey Marcus! Meant to drop you a line!

It was my 20th wedding anniversary last week, been running around a bit..

You're a busy man. No offense at all.

My best to Keri

Thanks, I will. Had a great meal in Lambertville..

Carla Bley put out a great Christmas CD that is criminally ignored

Heya!

Patrick, somebody should tell Jon Solomon.

The whole Cherry family is so talented.

Just bought the Carla Christmas disc...

This track!

Shabaka from Sons of Kemet behind that Carmichael track

Was cruising around, and I seek to have stumbled upon Bowman's Hill Tower out here in PA. Beautiful views from the top.

*seem to have

I thought the tower was at Bakers Basin near route 202

I've only heard of three of the pianists you mentioned, and I've only seen one: Matthew Shipp.

Good afternoon Dan and everyone

This one is really good. Thanks, Dan.

Natural Info Society always serving up some interesting stuff

I saw John Handy at the Bijou Cafe around the time he had his hit.

I remember a great jazz organ cd compilation called Have you had your B 12 today?

John Handy, "Hard Work"! I still remember the radio commerial with the great Adolph Caesar doing the voiceover...

I think I have that organ Cd, it's all Muse stuff I believe...

Hey DSM!

I figured I'd have beaten all those piano players into the listeners. Also: Carmen Staaf and Benoit Delbeq

Mr Belafonte!

I knew you'd remember 'Hard Work'. I loved the Bijou at Broad and Lombard. Before your time. I saw Patti Smith on her first tour, John Martyn, Fripp and The League of Gentlemen, Peter Hammill. Great venue.

Saw a great clip of Smothers Brothers and Harry Belafonte singing I Wish I Knew How

Tom Thumb's Blues!

I love Nina. Who doesn't?

Heard about the Bijou as a kid. I kept a mental record of places like The London Victory Club and Ripley's and The Love Club and a million places i'd never get to visit...

Apparently Curtis Institute didn’t . She was always bitter they rejected her.Bad move on their part.

Belafonte's obituary was one giagantic event after another, beginning with singing with Bird and Dizzy's band...

I read a bio that was unpersuasive in saying racism wasn't involved in the Curtis decision...

Thank goodness Nina didn't get confined in that classical world, it would have been a major loss

Sitar!

Her Dylan take is pretty sublime..

Great new Abbasi release...

Those Dylan lyrics about the police remind of the 1970 s City of Brotherly Love.

Was researching filmmaker Tamara Jenkins who talked of Philly roots. Turned out her dad owner a nightclub in Center City called The Middle East in the '50s and '60s. Her Dad is quoted in Blaze Starr's bio, complaining Rizzo was trying to shut down all the nightclubs!

I remember Rizzo doing that.

This Ervind Opsvik was a nice find, one of the only decent things in a big South Jersey record store I'd never been to before.

I had hippie friends who said the Rizzo cops hassled constantly for no reason...

Couple shows by Rez Abassi coming up in the area:

http://www.reztone.com/events/

This Norwegianer must've been smitten with the '90s Dpwntown NYC scene...

May 19 - New York & Nay 20 - Newark

Aruan Ortiz back for piano on this Nicole cut, with the great Fay Victor on vocal...

"Sometimes a sound represents a whole era" makes my think of early 70s clavinet keybords...

Rizzo tried to shut down the Electric Factory at 22nd and Arch. Before my time, but my brother told me.

Jazzfest Rutgers!

Robert Mugge's Rizzo doc AMATEUR NIGHT AT CITY HALL strongly brings to mind a raft of modern fascist types...

The Jazzfest Rutgers show in Newark is free!

Camden County Parks and Recreation has posted their free summer concerts.Sorry I don’t have Russ computer skill set.

Looks like Sheila E. Spyro Giro. Aimee Mann Calexico are the highlight s

I bought a bunch of Calexico records 20 years ago...

Well, kinda free: “ The event is open to the public with a $40 suggested donation.”

Dan, you buy way too many records.

If I had a basement for my collection, I could almost pass as "normal"

That's a large suggestion.

This phonky bass

This Captain Buckles was new to this week!

Steve Novosel – bass

Steve knows what's up!

Novosel on Rahsaan's THE INFLATED TEAR and Charle Tolliver's THE RINGER...

Was just listening to Bluesiana Triangle lp yesterday! Vol 1. Supergroup Dr John, David Fathead Newman and Art Blakey i think. So much fun. Thick groove laden lp

Joel Dorn was "The Masked Announcer" on Philadelphia television in the '60's. Nobody remembers that, I'm guessing.

I've seen Dorn use the name in reissues...

Sold tons of Bluesiana Triangle when I worked at Tower South Street, I had it in my "New Orleans" section...

Rondo H. Slade https://www.audioasylum.com/messages/music/156247/

Thanks Russ

Masked Announcer.Was that on UHF..Commercials or intro to Horror movies. I vaguely remember.

.A friend talked of hanging with Joel, who regularly smoked those thin joints we used to call "

"pinners".

Yes, Patrick.

Rondo H. Slade. Thank you.

Local TV never the same after we lost Channel 48

Avant guitarist Henry Kaiser an heir to the media empire of Kaiser Broadcasting, owner of Channel 48 (I remember Dr Donald D Rose hosting the afternoon cartoon, unseen...)

Patrick, I'm the only person who remembers channel 48.

They also ran horror films the same time as Dr Shock on 17, I'd have to choose depending on the feature. My beloved EQUINOX was first seen by me on 48...

Dan, you must have been very young watching this stuff.

My parents would've never thought to coax us away from the TV.

Dr Shock from Manayunk Had his baby Bubbles on the show. Channel 48 Flyers Hockey sponsored by Abbotts Ice Cream.Stu Nahan announcing

Weird at how a young age I was very aware of things like local affiliates and national broadcasts and other minutiae pf the business...

https://img.newspapers.com/img/thumbnail/185030164/400/400/0_0_3638_4288.jpg?cs=604800

Patrick, Stu was Captain Philadelphia.

Here's that list of top-rank modern jazz pianists I earlier mentioned: Matthew Shipp, Vijay Iyer, Myra Melford, Angelica Sanchez, Craig Tayborn, Jason Moran , Marilyn Crispell, Sylvia Courvosier, Ndudzo Makhathini, Satoko Fuji, David Virelles, Brian Marsalla, Eri Yamamoto, Lafayette Gilchrist, Carmen Staaf

I'm not sure Dan expected today's show to be a forum for reminiscing about channel 48.

But he started it by mentioning Joel Dorn.

Poor Dan he puts all that hard work building a music program then he has to listen to Abe Simpson ramble on about UHF.

I'm all for rambling conversations...

I never grew out of the love for a "college bullshittin' session"...

I think it was Brian who dug the Islandman last time I played it..

I really dug it too!

Hey, I've been known to yell at a cloud. Who hasn't?

I saw those Dukes of Destiny guys in Chestnut Hill yesterday Always a fun performance.Their leader John very nice gentleman.

I remember seeing Dukes on bills at Dobbs and Bachanal back in the day. Don't think I ever saw them...

Dukes of Stratosphere were good too.

DOS appeared the same time I was loving all that Paisley Underground stuff..

Ramones Forever.Always treasured their Simpsons appearanceHave the. Rolling Stones killed!!

This b-side escaped me somehow, and I was a big TOO TOUGH TO DIE fan...

I miss Joey. Johnny, not so much.

Yeah, seemed like it would last forever at the time...

Thanks Dan It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia when Dan Buskirks on the air.Any fill in shows let us know

Fascinated that Johnny was the KKK in "The KKK Took My Baby Away" after Johnny stole his girlfriend...

GoGos or Sleater kinney

The Dukes of Destiny are playing at my local library in Mount Airy in June: https://www.jazznearyou.com/bethlehem/the-dukes-of-destiny-at-lovett-memorial-public-libaray-on-june-26__8631?width=375

Thank you as always for the All-Star show today Dan

Up offa that thing we get!

I hate (love?) to brag, but I've seen Polly Jean four times.

Thanks Tandy!

I saw her once on the TO BRING YOU MY LOVE tour in San Fran, she was great!

James would have turned 90 last week.

Rewind comment: brewer out of Colorado has a "session"lower alcohol beer offering called"Pinner" heh. Good use of that term

90 years of funk!

Is it less fun to talk about pot now that it is legal?

Hear pot discussed as "Something my parents do"...

Ha ! Yep. Passé... passe that pinner

Pfffttt...till next time....
