Jazz & Beyond w Dan Buskirk Mon Oct 5 with Dan Buskirk on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome to monday Jazz!

Hello Dan and listeners . Mourning the death of Trinidadian calypso giant The Mighty Sparrow

indeed!

Also mourning the death of way too cool for school Marjo. Gortner. Major role in The Marcus- Nelson Murders . Perhaps greatest TV movie made. Pilot for Kojak series.

Marjoe! Unusually familiar with his career. Amazing documentary, and amazing as the villain in in VIVA KNIEVEL, with Evil playing himself....

I came in so hot and heavy I forgot to mention French-Martinique vocalist Roland Brival!

Philadelphia born David Amram celebrating 96 th birthday next week . Still performing. Stupid me didn’t realize until last night he provided the music for The Manchurian Candidate.

thanks for given J.D. some love and air. He consistently has put out artistic, innovative, provoking, gorgeous albums for decades, continuing to evolve and expand his sound... I share your sentiment that he is gravely underappreciated.

Hadn't know about Amram soundtrack contribution! Yes, I've kept up with JD over the years here, underrated, in a genre that is under-exposed to boot...

The Manchurian Candidate is one of my favorites. Angela Lansbury was like three years older than Laurence Harvey. Playing his mother, in case anyone missed it.

but even within the jazz community, players and avid listeners alike, he does not at all get the traction he should i think

Marcus I am amazed Frankenheimer used a musician associated with the Beat movement in a 1962 movie . Very radical choice.

If you want to talk under exposed genres……. it’s Sea Shanteys and everyone else !!!

Jazz albums in 1969 loved speaking zodiac :-)

Also anyone else notice the tiny difference in real ages of Ann Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman?

about twice a year I would host a maritime themed Jazz show... I tried to give them sea shanty's love i tell you

Soul favorite:

haha

that Johnny Dyani was excellent. I wish all Jazz albums from the 80's were recorded like that. (and not the dreaded reverb chamber)

oh, that was Elvin on that track with Dyani?! Elvin my all time favorite drummer

I love Johnny Dyani. There was a guy on wrti that 35 years ago played a lot of him. E. Martin Seaborn.

perhaps I misheard

No Elvin with Eddie Gale

I have a lot of Dyani releases, always glad to add another

yes i quickly calibrated that after typing ha. thx

hmm, i dont think I know Martin! I can imagine Harrison playin Dyani abunch back then too

Khan Jamal! yes sir!

Hey Dan were you at The Love Park Coltrane 100 performance. Nice turnout . Enjoyed immensely

Been bogged down in an all-consuming project, I haven't gone anywhere really in weeks!

Johnny Dyani on bass here as well!

SteepleChase is a beast of a label. steady prolific all these years. i cant catch up with them sometimes

Seaborne had a terrific show on WRTI at midnight Saturday long ago. When he wasn't there, Ludwig Van Trich and Rich Nichols filled in.

oh yeah, Rich with The Roots. Thanks for other hosts info. you'd think after 15 years there i would know it all but theres so much history, and so many dj's. wouldve loved if my time intersected with Rich et al

Next up: all star band: Myra Melford: piano Mary Halvorson: guitar Ingrid Laubrock: tenor and soprano saxophones Tomeka Reid: cello Lesley Mok: drums

yes! i love Tomeka. and all of those fine players!

And Ludwig ran the Painted Bride shows. Threadgill, Murray, Burrell, The Arkestra...

Steeplechase put out an unreleased Monnette Sudler record from the '70s a few years back....

I miss The Painted Bride shows . What a great venue

Dan, I was JUST thinking about that Monnette album. It's v good. I got a copy kicking around. Featured it heavily on my show

oh right, Ludwig did the Bitches Brew show i think

The Monnette album is called In My Own Way (i believe)

Jerry Gordon employed Monette Sudlers brother as security at Third Street Jazz

also contains some '69/'70 mega Zodiacal praise with an epic long closing track about Libras

She played my friend Jeff's homegoing service. <3 all these stories and connections. thx for sharing friends

Fond memories of the fan who approached Miles and told him what a big fan hecwas but couldn’t get into this Bitches Brew thing. !!

Heard a great Coltrane story recently, someone brought him a transcription of one of his solos. He looked at it and handed it back saying "I can;t play this, it's too hard."

Free jazz double feature, hosted by me, coming up at the Rotunda in November....

ha!

Patrick, I saw Sunny at the Bride in 1992. Not long after his stroke. Playing with one hand, he was still incredible. A year ago I found the recording of the show on YouTube.

some of his charts look like Da Vinci

Wow nice find Marcus. All those shows I attended there only exist in my mind .

Exactly

my favorite interpretation of Bitches Brew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwOipTXvNNo&t=27s

Ha!

I didn’t print Miles response to the fan since this is still family hour and we have a lady in the chat.

Sunny opened with Interstellar Low Ways. Who the hell opens with a ballad?

ew

Marcus, Sun Ra did whatever whenver he wanted. i like that track. It wasnt' a solo performance was it? Imagine! (I actually can)

Maybe Gordon LIGHTFOOT?

interested in that video

What a great title for a musical piece. Should have been released by IRS records

It's worse now.

Eisenhower is turning over in his grave.

Ike was President when I was born .

Me too. Several of my friends were Truman born.

Don’t really feel old except when people casually make pop culture comments and I have no idea what they are talking about.

great to see Kalia on Int. Anthem now

So JBJ was president when Dan was born.

LBJ

Was at the big JFK rally in Levittown. I cried with Vigah !!!!

My mom went to a JFK event.

As a kid my sister said that her being born under Kennedy and me Johnson was just another sign of her superiority.

If it weren't for Vietnam, Lyndon would be considered one of our greatest presidents

One of LBJS racist southern senator buddies gave him great advice. Told him circa 1965 just declare victory ., come home and everyone in USA will forget about Vietnam in 2 years.

If it weren't for his astonishing evil and incompetence, Trump would still be considered ....

Sorry to change the subject, Dan. I'll probably wait three weeks before we get to this.

Les Ford was Steve Millers godfather and encouraged his musical journey

Good point on Stevie's lack of releases.

I'm not monitoring any subjects here, chat away....

When I walk my dog in the morning, Steve Miller's Living in the USA often runs through my head

Somebody get me a cheeseburger!

Stevie Wonder live bootleg July 13, 1973 Rainbow Room NYC. GREAT TAPE! Had it in the cassette days then the burn cd days too and now on the ol hard drive. That one is a classic. Michael Sembello in the band on guitar then (later had the big hit Maniac from Flashdance film).

1976 year of perfection Indiana Hoops ,Pitt Panthers FB and Songs in The Key of Life. I believe also came with a single or small EP .

Always forget how young Stevie is... he was only in his early 20s back then. Just getting started on the funky synth era

Blue, that video was made by my buddy Mr. King!

Some great big sets have been released recently yep. Including this FZ.

As I walk my dog in the morning, two songs run in my head often: Are You Experienced, and the Little Feat cover of On the Way Down. Both mention the sunrise.

Hey Jon!! Woah, awesome <3

Took the cat to the vet yesterday with an ear infection. A grand time.

Patrick, I tried to get tickets for the 1976 tournament. No luck.

Hope teh kitteh getz betterz soonz

ill join in, the song in heaviest rotation that i sing to my cat is Prince's 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World'

Already on the mend. now I just have to push a q-tip in his year for a week...

Jon, was it Raymond King by any chance?

Raymond King!

Great tunes Dan!

Thanks! Playin; the hits!

Thee Cardboard Artisan himself, Raymond A. King!? that's awesome. i love his work

Michelle is one of my least favorite Beatles songs.

The I'm Looking Through You playing is great.

Have to disagree with you on that one Marcus but I can’t stand Hey Jude. Saved by the wicked Pickett

Duane Allman made a difference.

So many anniversary releases. Hard to keep up.

SELLERSVILLE theater was advertising a Greg Allman concert. Boy that would be interesting

I saw the Allman Brothers between motorcycle accidents.

On that bill was Dr. John and Jerry Lee Lewis. The latter was crap.

Gregg Allman: Just in Time For Halloween!

Habibi Funk! I usually grab all their releases. So darn good.

The Sellersville Theater is definitely not advertising a Gregg Allman concert but rather a documentary on Gregg: Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul. https://www.st94.com/events/gregg-allman-the-music-of-my-soul/

Phew saw Gang Starr in 2003.

Cool!

This A Certain Ratio remix album is off-da-hook...

Yep just put those new Habibi Funk upcoming releases on the wishlist

There an amazing number of great documentaries of bands on Tubi or other services.

Seen anything good? I have a Don Ellis doc I need to get to...

I loved the Earth Wind and Fire doc. That was fun.

im interested in seeing that

Love EWF as Harvey Keitel's vehicle THT's THE WAY OF THE WORLD...

We Jam Econo is worth seeing.

Ack! Catchya next time!
