Welcome to Monday Jazz!

Those first few notes made me think this was gonna be inspector gadget haha

Ha! Factoids about the IG theme..."Shuki Levy and Haim Saban in 1983. The melody was notably inspired by Edvard Grieg's classical piece "In the Hall of the Mountain King"

Makes sense!

Former host of "The Worried Waltz" was just telling me this morning how much he loves this new record. He's a big Threadgill fan...

Hi Dan. I was at the McCarter once in high school. We saw Godot on a class trip.

Hey Mark! Have you been back since or are you eternally waiting?

Yes, for 53 years.

Cecil Taylor - piano Buell Neidlinger - double bass Denis Charles - drums Earl Griffith - vibraphone

A vinyl reissue of this Lloyd LP is due soon...

This Charles Lloyd piece, at the volume I'm listening at, is nice and peaceful

And hi everyone!

Hey Rob!

New archival Cramps release coming in the 2pm hour...

I'll be a (human) fly on the wall listening to it

F-L-Y...

sun ra is a spiritual experience

Oh, it's gonna get deeper....

for anyone interested in more about the visual language of afrofuturism there's an exhibit on at the afam museum in philly

dan!! i watched space is the place this weekend as homework. full thing on youtube from a record label in florida. doesnt look too bad. instantly became an all time fav

Wow, glad you caught that!

"I do not come to you as the reality, I come to you as the myth."

sun ra is a prophet. he converted me

dude !! yes and i'd heard it so many times as a wprb sting not knowing it was him, thinking this sounds like a james baldwin line but who is this talkin 🤣

Soo many wild stories about him. Anyone who talked to him has some incredible quote to tell you.

amazing man. i watched andrei rublev too. i get it, but it has that same vibe as "come and see." i'm not racing to watch ivan's childhood (the other one you recc'd for tarkovsky beginners)

I just counted nine Evidence Sunny CD's I own thanks to Jerry. CD's on other labels too. My vinyl jewel Is Live at Montreaux 1976.

Jerry!

anyway i need my fingers for other things, but i'm gonna stay groovin to the sweet spacey sounds of sun ra and the arkestra. cheers danno, thanks for all

Take Care Ger! We'll talk about Rublev....

You know anyone who could introduce me to the widow Rorschach?

Thought she might be higher profile after Lux died...

Lux Interior? Yass.

Pretty sure I'm the first person ever to refer to Ivy as The widow Rorschach.

Everybody sees something different in her...

"Froggy Went-a-Courtin'...

Well this is a side of L'Rain I've never heard before! Great show today Dan :)

ThanksTandy

Dang I missed the Cramps. Grocery & other shopping will do that

We liked the part of the show we heard, Dan, ty!

Thanks! Next time!
