Welcome to Monday Jazz!

A pleasure.

Hey Mark! Newly unearthed Pharoah from French radio

Amazing.

Is Lonnie the Nicky Hopkins of jazz?

4th of July a Army jazz band played here, the only woman in it, played trombone. She was incredible too. Love that new style camo.

Nice to know another woman trombonist has a gig nailed down....

Love the (non-doctor) Lonnie Smith (too)....

Greetings to BUSKIRK and his fans.

Hey Patrick. Almost opened with some Dakota Stanton....

I love Pharaoh Sanders but I’m not feeling a lot of love in the air .

I bought Pharaoh's Love In Us All from Jerry G. long ago. Fortunately you weren't old enough then to grab it first.

I am so old IKE was president when I was born.

Dan can’t believe Giordanos fruit and vegetable is actually closed . It seemed like a permanent fixture.

Yeah, super bummer. Condos coming?

Music from the late Brazilian genius Hermeto Pascoal up next...

Patrick, I was referring to Dan.

And Dan's notorious crate diving.

That's me, a young buck....

Young BUSKIRK the Cal Ripken of PRB

I’m sure Dan wouldn’t mind Angelo’s being Condoized

They installed their own speed bumps there....

Heard on this cut...

, Kaoru Watanabe (o-jimedaiko, uchiwadaiko, shimedaiko, and shinobue),

Dan make sure you read the John Berkery obituary. Local Zelig like figure. A much smarter less violent version of Whitey Bulger.

Never heard of him.

The Pottstown coal heist in 1959 should have merited its own movie.

Patrick, are you making a confession?

Those Irisholios way above my pay grade

This Eddie Palmieri cut is a tribute to assorted NYC basketball courts

Some intense games on those courts especially West 4 th street

I once entered a game their Bowery Boys style, in a long raincoat, on the shoulders of a friend....

SCTVS the Bowery Boys in The Band still comic gold with an uncredited Robin Williams

Don't remember that one!

Dan have you got to see the Patrice Lumumba documentary with the jazz inflected soundtrack . I’ve been trying to track down but don’t know where to access

Lumumba: Death of a Prophet?

Hey, I saw the Bush Tetras at the Mann. Openers were Duran Duran. BT's next. Then Third World. Split Enz, and headliners Squeeze.

Wow, whatta line-up!

I believe it’s called Soundtrack to a Coup d etat

I see a Spotify playlist, but I don't think a physical release happened...

Definitely bought my copy of Marquee Moon from Jerry.

The Mann Music Center was formerly the Robin Hood Dell West. Van Cliburn used to draw crowds of 30000 there.

I distinctively remember buying Marquee Moon at Third Street Jazz

Odd to find a live version on 12" single from '87...

Jerry had a lot of cool single EPS

Sure did...

He got stuck with a lot of 1976 We Got The Fever singles sung by the Phillies Players. They played like DukeEllington but sung like Billy Joel

Ha!

Unsurprisingly we have lots of memories buying albums when and where. My first Sun Ra was live at Montreaux, a cutout on Inner City in the basement of Houston Hall in '76.

My old galfriend worked there!

Dick Allen actually a credible singer . He cut a record with the Ebonistics titled Echoes of November

I'd love to hear that!

I remember SS working there years later.

Sally Starr?

When Dick Allen sang at the spectrum he told the audience….. please Boo me . Make me feel at home.

Sorry Jerry Blavat collection.

Sup gangsters?? DJ, you are spinning some sick stuff!

The Geator with the Heater was later arrested for possession of a firearm.

This bass is screaming some Aphex Twin influence to me.

Thanks! Great new music out there!

Crazy stuff indeed! Godspeed You!Black Emperor was here in Portland last night--an all-body experience......

It's Gina Birch of The Raincoats

Marcus in the Pete Dexter novel Brotherly love Geator is parodied accurately as Jimmy Measles.

Thanks Dan great show. Not fair Portland gets Godspeed you black and we get KKKLapton.

This is the second Portishead song I've ever heard, and damn! It's really good stuff.

Thanks for the set!

I've read two of Pete's, but not that one. Thanks.

Next Time!
