Favoriting The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from August 25, 2024 Favoriting

DJ Peter's avatar View DJ Peter's profile Favoriting

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Obviously not! It had a short interview with Winstone, reviewed her career (briefly), and discussed the record. She wrote words to Carla Bley's Jesus Maria only to find out that it already had words. Steve Swallow gave her permission to use the new words. Fun fact!

RIP, Russell Malone. From the NYT obit:

After wrapping up a gig at a Holiday Inn one evening in 1987, he went to see Jimmy Smith perform at a club. When Mr. Smith saw the young player in the audience, still dressed in a tuxedo and sitting anxiously beside his guitar, he invited him up to play.

Mr. Malone started out cocky, he later recalled, but couldn’t keep up with the renowned organist.

After Mr. Malone stepped down from the stage, red-faced, Mr. Smith turned to the crowd.

“Now, whenever we let youngsters sit in with us, we always like to make sure that they learn something,” Mr. Smith said. “Now, did you learn something, junior?”

“I said, ‘Yessir,’” Mr. Malone recalled.

Dean:

Wikipedia: "Garroway, a music lover and amateur drummer, lent his name to a series of recordings of jazz, classical, and pop music released in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Among them were Wide, Wide World of Jazz, 1957's Some of My Favorites, and 1958's Dave Garroway's Orchestra: An Adventure in Hi-Fi Music."

Just mean that some viewers make morning TV a ritual and some late night.

And I think they choose a certain type of personality for the morning and a very different type for late night.

My sense is that most regular TV viewers have approximately zero critical sensibility, and if that strikes you as condescending, it's because it is.

The powers that be have no interest in types of personalities, and they wouldn't know how to identify one, even if it hocked loogies in their faces. They choose according to degree of advertiser interest.
