"The Bridge" by Sonny Rollins. Jazz & Beyond w Dan Buskirk Mon Jun 1 with Dan Buskirk on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome to Monday Jazz!

Greetings to BUSKIRK and his fans. Nice opener.BUSKIRK fav Robert Ryan on TCM later this week . The Set Up . Would make a nice pairing with Body and Soul

Hey Patrick! Saw a screening of SET UP with the Ryan kids in attendances. One brother discussed how he watched his father spar a lot and recognized that he really changed his style to play the part in SET UP.

D Forgot to announce: Dudley Moore on piano in the opening...

Great Sonny Rollins tributes by Jerry and Bob Brainen on WFMU.While Sonny is undoubtedly the last musician standing in the famous Great Day In Harlem photo nobody has researched whether any of the children are still with us

Wow I knew Dudley Moore was great actor and comedian. Never knew of this musical aspect. You learn a lot at BUSKIRK U.

There's a meme of the Great Day in Harlem shot with all the people removed. I know Sonny was the last musician standing but I kinda feel like they murdered all the kids....

Love this Joe Henderson! I binged 5 days of WKCR last week. Miles Davis 3 days for his 100th. Then 2 days of Sonny Rollins Memorial. Time well spent. So so so many great tracks many whole lps or whole lp sides.

Shout out to WKCR for keeping Phil Schaap alive on air

Hey Brian! Nice to see THE ELEMENTS reissued on vinyl. Charlie Haden, Michael White, Alice Coltrane and Kenneth Nash!

(And Joe of course).

Couple weeks back on Sun Ra "Arrival Day" I heard a good archives interview or 2 with younger Phil Schaap and Sun Ra Ark members from late 80s. June Tyson and Richard Wilkinson I believe. Ears did a double take as I thought, "Oh yes that IS Phil's voice".

Phil used to emcee the Charlie Parker Jazz festival. He would ask very hard trivia questions for prizes. I whispered the answer to a young kid and he got a prize much to Phil’s shock and surprise.

Ha!

Add Jeff Goldblum to the comedy / actor Jazz piano club too. A pretty darn good player.

Nobody did it better than Steve Allen Dan.

Chevy Chase is still standing outside the door to that club trying to improv a "HEY LET ME IN!" insult joke.

Dudley Moore was the only unidexter ever to audition for the role of Tarzan.

Forgot about his club foot!

Hey Mark!

Ya friend of mine in the Trenton area was Dudley's phys therapist decades back. Said he still had some good chops in the later days

Hey Brian I believe there is a movie coming out soon documenting the history of Trenton music scene.

Makin' and Takin'

It's called "Trenton Makes, The World Says 'No Thank You'"

Solo multi-tracked trombone here...

lol

You could call a Paul Simon doc Makin' and Takin' as well

Spectacular first hour Dan!

I saw him August 2008 concert at Ramsey Playground in Central Park .

Thaks Tandy!

Dan broadcasting minutes away from Paul Robeson House in Princeton NJ

Love Paul Robeson!

John Weingart is a Paul Robeson acolyte. His death in 1976 West Philadelphia in sad exile was heartbreaking.

Sonny & Bird together!

Fond memories of young BUSKIRK brightening up my dreary Monday workdays!

Imagine someone strolling over the Williamsburg Bridge late at night and hearing Sonny playing. Wow that guys really good!!’

Crazy, huh?

Great interview Dan thanks

Thanks,glad you enjoyed it!

Man imagine knowing someone in high school was connected to the industry! What a blessed life he led. Rest in peace, Sonny.

I really really need to find the time to listen to the new Boards album. I've heard good news about it, and I'm more than impressed by what I'm hearing rn

Yeah, I'm enjoying it...

Orcutt never disappoints either! This freeform hour may be short, but it's no less sweet.

Surprised how much I like this record from a guy I forgot was in Radiohead....

Tricot, from Japan, despite the French name...

Big thanks for the show today Dan!

+1 on the BoC !!! <3

all the guitars over that record are gorgeous
