Well, based on my experience from my visit to Morocco last fall, there is so much with layers so deep that a newbie like me can provide little more than very basic highlights.

Has any of you seen the film documentary about Cachao that Andy Garcia made? Actually, I think he made two documentaries about Cachao.

Cachao's brother, Orestes, is on piano here. Other key performers: Tata Güines (congas), "Chocolate" Armenteros (trumpet), Niño Rivera (tres), and Guillermo Barreto (timbales)

Brian in UK:
Saw his nephew at WOMAD one year. One song was funky beyond belief, it was so grubby.
10:09am
still b/p:
I just had the odd and unprompted but welcome image of the percussion teams from any of these last great high-velocity tracks gathered around the Bentley of the Baroness and energetically using IT -- body, fenders and bumpers -- as their rhythm instrument.
And maybe Mr. Monk would dig sitting inside for the big tightly executed bangety-vibrating-shaking experience.

AlanR:
One of the stories told in my doc Inside Out In The Open about Monk at the Five Spot was when Coltrane was playing with him and struggling to get to the essence of Monk’s compositions. When Monk felt Coltrane “got it,” Monk did one of dances.
Back in the early '90s, Rich in Washington, there was a phone line set up by an engineer at Bell Labs (great friend of the station Brian Redman) where you could dial up and hear WFMU over the phone.
Ah, I see your doc is up on YouTube! Looking forward to watching it: www.youtube.com...

10:30am
Doug Schulkind:
New York's Five Spot Café was a hangout for all kinds of creatives. Poets and painters along with other musicians. The fine poet Frank O'Hara mentions the club in this evocative poem:
The Day Lady Died
By Frank O’Hara
It is 12:20 in New York a Friday
three days after Bastille day, yes
it is 1959 and I go get a shoeshine
because I will get off the 4:19 in Easthampton
at 7:15 and then go straight to dinner
and I don’t know the people who will feed me
I walk up the muggy street beginning to sun
and have a hamburger and a malted and buy
an ugly NEW WORLD WRITING to see what the poets
in Ghana are doing these days
I go on to the bank
and Miss Stillwagon (first name Linda I once heard)
doesn’t even look up my balance for once in her life
and in the GOLDEN GRIFFIN I get a little Verlaine
for Patsy with drawings by Bonnard although I do
think of Hesiod, trans. Richmond Lattimore or
Brendan Behan’s new play or Le Balcon or Les Nègres
of Genet, but I don’t, I stick with Verlaine
after practically going to sleep with quandariness
and for Mike I just stroll into the PARK LANE
Liquor Store and ask for a bottle of Strega and
then I go back where I came from to 6th Avenue
and the tobacconist in the Ziegfeld Theatre and
casually ask for a carton of Gauloises and a carton
of Picayunes, and a NEW YORK POST with her face on it
and I am sweating a lot by now and thinking of
leaning on the john door in the 5 SPOT
while she whispered a song along the keyboard
to Mal Waldron and everyone and I stopped breathing
♥
10:31am
Doug Schulkind:
A delight to see you again, unpopularfred!

10:32am
Doug Schulkind:
The Mal Waldron Frank O'Hara name-checks in the poem is playing piano here with Eric Dolphy RIGHT NOW.

Mal Waldron had been Billie Holiday's musical director during the last years of her life.
10:34am
AlanR:
@zip7 Thank you. There are several copies floating around online, besides my own YT account. Enjoy. It came out in the shadow of Ken Burns Jazz doc, which both left out this important chapter in jazz history, while also criticizing it. I literally told that to Ken Burns in person.
♥
10:35am
Doug Schulkind:
Blessings go out to the legendary British radio host Andy Kershaw. He died yesterday at 66.

10:39am
Doug Schulkind:
The bass player here, Ray McKinney, was the brother of Bernard McKinney (Kiane Zawadi) who played the euphonium in my "unusual horns" set last week.
♥
10:40am
Doug Schulkind:
Huge thanks to DJ Peter for "loaning" me a copy of this massive Jimmy Giuffre record. Oh my gawd is it good!
Zip, get in line behind me in the Ken Burns' "Jazz" Haters Club. I once produced a WFMU marathon premium titled "Jazz Burns Ken."
🥁♥
10:43am
DJ Peter:
Hey Doug, do you think the phrase "in person" became associated with the Five Spot specifically at some point?
♥
10:43am
Doug Schulkind:
Giuffre is playing with more abandon than I'm used to hearing from him. His wildness was generally more restrained than this.
Interesting query, DJ Peter. So you think including the phraseology "In Person" with a live set became a kind of shorthand for performing at the Five Spot?
I was a nobody, so, he just smiled. It was not like a discussion. Enough has been said over the years about all the failures of his doc in many respects. Burns is Burns.

Might be like sporting events where you’re thinking “what’s the matter with this crowd” then they switch mics and suddenly it’s a riotous din. But yeah, often disappointed by lack of audience in the mix from live music.
♥
10:54am
Doug Schulkind:
The trombonist David Baker was in a car accident in 1953 that forever thereafter hampered his ability to play the instrument. Sounded pretty capable to me in this 1960 performance.
Buell had an interesting career, to say the least. I remember in a Downbeat interview, he said he couldn't stand John McLaughlin. Claimed he had a terrible tone and started every solo at the twelfth fret
♥
10:58am
Doug Schulkind:
A friend of mine once attended a Dexter Gordon session at the Village Vanguard. The date was being recorded for an album and Bob Porter (the producer of the session) admonished the crowd to behave themselves and not clap until after the songs were over.
Thank you, Sir Doug, you too! I am so happy it is Friday. I've had a nonstop week. I adopted a new cat and he's blind and getting him what he needs and playing with him and everything has taken a lot of time. But things are turning out well. Based on what the shelter told me (the full implications of which I did not realize until after I got him home, at which time I started freaking out), he might have had some serious health problems but he doesn't (!) and now I just need to train him a little bit for some bad behaviors. Sorry for the long post

Thank you, Sir Doug, you too! I am so happy it is Friday. I've had a nonstop week. I adopted a new cat and he's blind and getting him what he needs and playing with him and everything has taken a lot of time. But things are turning out well. Based on what the shelter told me (the full implications of which I did not realize until after I got him home, at which time I started freaking out), he might have had some serious health problems but he doesn't (!) and now I just need to train him a little bit for some bad behaviors. Sorry for the long postUncle Michael: Hey! Join me for Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour. We're gonna have a ball.
