Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:50:01 PM
86 years old and listen to the vigor with which he plays
Brian D 12:57:18 PM
Ya on my list the new Lloyd. Been keeping up ever since that Tone Poems lately. Some beautiful stuff he's putting out.
Patrick White 12:57:31 PM
I remember seeing Charles Lloyd at the old Knitting Factory. He prefaced the concert with a 10 minute diatribe against the New York Times for insulting his music.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:58:43 PM
Patrick, what did they say? Do you recall who the Times writer was? What did you think of the diatribe?
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:59:04 PM
Brian, this is a 2 CD set
Patrick White 1:00:35 PM
Sorry Jerry that was 24 years ago . I am a little hazy on it. But I can tell you the 1967 Phillies starting lineup
Patrick White 1:01:41 PM
Ask Charles. I am sure he remembers 😀
Mike Constantine 1:04:05 PM

I was at Carnegie Hall and Keith Jarrett, former pianist for Charles Lloyd, shushed everybody. I was insulted.
Patrick White 1:15:38 PM
I would have been honored to be shushed by Keith Jarrett
Christine 1:16:35 PM
😄
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:17:59 PM
People weren't opening candy wrappers or discussing where they wanted to go for cocktails afterwards, they were excited!
Bud Burroughs 1:18:43 PM
Hello Jerry! I love Keith Jarrett, but I've heard stories about him being pretty temperamental.
Bud Burroughs 1:19:23 PM
I seem to recall him cancelling a show because he didn't feel "compatible" with the perfectly good piano at the concert hall.
Patrick White 1:19:49 PM
Silence is golden. I miss Keith Jarrett performing. I did get to see him at Kimmel Center but I was ejected for excessive loud breathing
Patrick White 1:21:16 PM
Abbey Lincoln storming off the stage at Zanzibar Blue because of excessive chitter chatter was Epic!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:25:54 PM
Hi Bud, thanks! I was excited to be at Carnegie Hall (How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice Practice Practice) and it annoyed me.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:26:33 PM
Patrick, but you didn't tell everyone why your breathing was excessively loud.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:27:28 PM
Mating call!
Bud Burroughs 1:29:40 PM
I've never see Jarrett live. But I'm looking forward to seeing Herbie Hancock next weekend at the Big Ears festival!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:30:05 PM

Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:30:23 PM
Very nice, Bud!
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:30:41 PM
Herbie would not shush
Patrick White 1:30:49 PM
The Village Vanguard has very strict no talking policy .Chris Jazz seems to actively encourage it .I stopped going there .
Patrick White 1:31:42 PM
Hey Bud I was going to attend but I decided to go to The Little Pitchers festival
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 1:37:52 PM
