Welcome to Monday Jazz! New Cecile!

Greetings to Dan and his listeners on this beautiful Monday. Cecile so great even Abe Simpson’s like me enjoy..

Sorry I missed your City Of Hope screening. Never shown on cable . Truly a lost gem

Northern Spy lable? Named after the Nick Drake classic?

Hey Patrick! People were knocked out by CITY OF HOPE, it has aged very well and a masterpiece of a screenplay. Really seems like a precursor to THE WIRE, an examination of city politics form every strata of society. Joe Morton's character seems like the proto-Obama, tan suit and all...

Northern Spy, perhaps. Hey Mark!

Explaining a joke is deadly. Nick did Northern Sky.

Ah! Of course. I haven't really played his stuff in years but I really absorbed it back in the 80s and 90s.

Wish I still had my FRUIT TREE vinyl box...

Vijay squeezes 'bout everything possible outta this Toto song....

Hey Dan. Didn't know Anders had a new record out, let alone with Marilyn Crispell. Profoundly beautiful

Hey Mr. Engle! I'm fairly unfamiliar with him but a big Crispell fan! Beautiful cut! Enjoying your Chad record from late last year, you have a great composition on it...

Love this new Tomeka Reid Quartet record, love Mary Halvorson's playing here...

So much great new music.

So true. i can't keep up!

New remix album out, using track form the Arkestra's recent LIVING SKY and MY WORDS ARE MUSIC, a recent spoken word Ra record...

Recent reissue of a very rare Japanese Marion Brown record. Fred Hopkins on bass, Ed Blackwell on drums, Jumma Santos on percussion...

Happy 107 th birthday to musical icon and John Weingart acolyte PETE SEEGER

Love Pete!

Hey hey hey, nice tunes for a nice day Dan!

The CBS suits were wary of letting him perform on the Smothers Brothers prime time. In rehearsal he did Good Night Irene and One Meatball . They were pleased. Then he went on air and did Waist Deep in the Big Muddy..

Can;t believe Springsteen didn't cover that on his Seeger tribute record...

Hey Tandy!

Dan with the WMMR work block !!!

Dan, just getting back to this - Jormin had been a huge influence on me for 20 years. His work with Bobo Stenson is noteworthy

Work Block! Reminding me of whnen i was locked in a warehouse with that station!

Thanks Matt, gotta checkout more jormin...

Jerry Gordon will be doing a Morning Zoo summer show . Hoping you will be part of it. Prank phone calls,lame jokes, hellish music. The whole Magilla

Come for the played-out playlist! Stay for the sexism!

I love the Jarrett albums with Dewey, Paul, and Charlie. Death and the Maiden is excellent.

Altogether on that cut, plus Sam Brown and Eye-Air-Toe....

So they went from Columbia to Impulse.

Then ECM...

Speaking of Charlie, did you ever hear Petra's cover of The Who Sell Out? Cousin Mike suggested she do that.

Yeah, love that record!

Used to play her version of "I Can See for Miles" a lot...

Record Store Day find?

Yes! Just before they sent it back!

I actually was wondering where you were coming from with that. I always forget about that record store.

I can sniff 'em out! Rob caught me dragging the Capt Beefheart disc home...

Haha indeed. I also realized a couple days later the title I was thinking of was Bat Chain Puller. I think we were standing across from Brickbat Books, which jumbled my memory.

Ha! Yes, SHINY BEAST (BAT CHAIN PULLER). I forget about that one, I was hugely into DOC AT THE RADAR STATION....

Those last three albums were great.

Went out on a high note.

I know this tune from Milton Nascimento's CLUBE ASQUINA....

First ever cover of Jennifer after fifty some years?

No Harm.

Yeah, first I've heard...

Chicken Parm.

Bought Faust IV from Jerry.

Jerry!

Next Time!
