the title is a misdirect, I think   6:33pm
little danny: Hello Peter, all!   6:33pm
BenZWPB: I liked that James Brandon Lewis. I see that is a pre order for next week. I love the Intakt label, one of my favorites. You just have to throw a dart and you’ll hit an excellent Intakt release. ♥ 6:34pm

I find it difficult to avoid the idea that if there's anything he couldn't do, it's because he didn't care to. ♥ 7:00pm
DJ Peter:

↳ adamdoesit @6:55

Hahaha!

"hmm, that could be interesting" (yawn) "maybe you should tie my arm behind my back first"

  7:04pm
BenZWPB: This Billy Childs is real good. I saw him as part of Chris Botti’s band in Charlotte NC around 15 years ago. After the show there was a long line to meet and buy Chris Botti cds as expected but Billy Childs was standing alone at his table. He looked at me so I went over and bought a cd which he signed and he seemed to appreciate I came over to him. ♥ 7:09pm
DJ Peter:

↳ BenZWPB @7:04

yeah i think that's partly why id slept on Childs -- the Botti association. (Sorry C.B.!)   7:10pm
BenZWPB: The Botti show was good but I guess good means different things to different people   7:11pm
little danny: I dug the little figure from Ramblin’ in there   7:11pm
little danny: (Or some ornette reference) 🕰 ♥ 7:11pm
luca:

↳ Song: "African Herbs" by "Dollar Brand"

killa. time to fly, catch y’all soon. ♥ 7:11pm
DJ Peter:

↳ BenZWPB @7:10

I think I would probably appreciate Botti more now. I am less sure that I know in advance what will be good. Or maybe I should say: I am more inclined to find the qualities that I like and not be afraid of liking them. ♥ 7:12pm
DJ Peter:

↳ little danny @7:11

went by me too fast -- will listen back for it 🕰 ♥ 7:12pm
Jeff Golick: I had to live in/with one region's music for all eternity, it would be a tie between Brazil and South Africa. ♥ 7:13pm
adamdoesit:

↳ Song: "African Herbs" by "Dollar Brand"

In a better world, this would be our everyday pop. 🕰 ♥ 7:14pm
Listener Gregory: The tributes have made me realize that I can’t reconcile the early Dollar Brand piano work, which verged on the Cecil Taylor of the time, and Abdullah Ibrahim’s tuneful larger group recordings. ♥ 7:18pm
DJ Peter:

↳ Jeff Golick @7:12

fortunately you can live with both! if records are acceptable. 🕰 ♥ 7:20pm
pot8o: hi everyone! ♥ 7:20pm
DJ Peter: hi you self! 🕰 ♥ 7:31pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ Song: "Confab In Tempo" by "Art Farmer"

The tenor sound seems different from Sonny’s usual. Maybe a different horn? ♥ 7:36pm
DJ Peter:

↳ Listener Gregory @7:31

1954 is pretty early. about to hear another 1954 Rudy Van Gelder track, let's compare 🕰 ♥ 7:44pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ DJ Peter @7:36

No, I think there was a reed problem or some other issue on Confab, primarily in the low register. ♥ 7:49pm

Plenty of musicians go from less to more accessible; fewer do it while going from less to more revered. 🕰 ♥ 7:50pm

looks like ethan (?) listened to the photographer or stylist who told him to touch his index finger to his chin for some cryptic reason 🕰 ♥ 8:13pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:10

I think he’s pointing at a spider on the ceiling. 🕰 ♥ 8:19pm

hmm that’s a better theory than what i can come up with.. 🕰 ♥ 8:20pm

Henry Threadgiil, Vijay Iyer, and Dafnis Prieto have a record coming out on Nonesuch in August. Not on my Bingo card. ♥ 8:20pm

It's the popsicle stick holding up his humanoid mask. What's behind it, you wouldn't be able to gaze upon without turning to ivory without first mastering the standards in his Dropbox. 🕰 ♥ 8:21pm

here’s my theory… i think its the moment the band is ready to play and he’s about to tell us the audience to shush 🕰 ♥ 8:22pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ Song: "Nisa" by "Abdullah Ibrahim"

Hearing singing, à la Keith Jarrett, and some similarities of touch too. 🕰 ♥ 8:23pm
Listener Gregory: It isn’t Jarrett??? ♥ 8:24pm
adamdoesit:

↳ Song: "Nisa" by "Abdullah Ibrahim"

Good chance our own doctorjazz was at this gig. 🕰 ♥ 8:24pm
tom tom the pipers son:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:22

i was paying attentionto the relaxed deliberAtion of the touch thatwhen you mention him sounds like a descriptor of jarrett 🕰 ♥ 8:25pm
tom tom the pipers son: not so much touch but choices being made   8:26pm
little danny: Gorgeous transition ♥ 8:27pm
DJ Peter:

"Our doctor jazz" could be a spy novel ♥ 8:27pm

phew. the Yarona album is all direct segues so kinda had no choice!!! ♥ 8:30pm
adamdoesit:

↳ DJ Peter @8:27

If it were, EI might read and review it. 🕰 ♥ 8:31pm
Listener Gregory: Boy, that was weird. I would have bet money it was Jarrett. I’d be interested to hear @doctorj’s take on it. 🕰 ♥ 8:33pm
tom tom the pipers son:

i guess the pretext would be record collecting and his nemesis would be vinyl-finger 🕰 ♥ 8:35pm
tom tom the pipers son: vinyl fingers henchman would be named box set ♥ 8:35pm
adamdoesit:

I started off from the first laggy left-handed chord being sure that Eclipse at Dawn was Mal Waldron. Soon's it got past the theme, I was sure it was Herbie Nichols. ♥ 8:35pm
DJ Peter:

↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33

Vinylfinger! With stylus fingers! 🕰 ♥ 8:36pm
tom tom the pipers son:

nice touch so to speak 🕰 ♥ 8:38pm
doctorjazz: OK, great dinner outing, Pastrami, kiishka/stuffed derma (don't ask), barley, kasha kinsh. Now have to make an appointment with my cardiologist... 🕰 ♥ 8:40pm
tom tom the pipers son: david mittleman had an alice coltrane special with many rare tracks ♥ 8:41pm
adamdoesit:

doc! Your schmaltz-sotted spirit was invoked re: a 1995 Abdullah Ibrahim date at Sweet Basil's, above. Were you there? 🕰 ♥ 8:41pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ adamdoesit @8:35

I guessed Nichols too. It’s Peter’s “Fool the listeners” show. 🕰 ♥ 8:41pm
doctorjazz:

↳ Listener Gregory @7:14

I don't think Abdullah Ibrahim actually was much in the Cecil Taylor vein-if I recall, he did fall in with the Downtown Avant Garde when he came to New York, released one album I have (African Space Project), which took some of his South Africa inspired melodies, and had a wild big band blow over them. But I don't think he ever fit that mold-before and after that, he might sprinkle a little dissonance in his right hand during solo paino sections, but his roots were Ellington, Monk, and South African music. 🕰 ♥ 8:43pm
doctorjazz:

↳ adamdoesit @8:41

I saw him a bunch of times at Sweet Basils (as I've posted here before, brought MsJazz yto see his Ekaya group there on my first date), but I don't think I was at that gig. 🕰 ♥ 8:44pm
doctorjazz:

↳ doctorjazz @8:43

Saw his Quartet with Carlos Ward there a few times, and Ekaya there, also a few times, I've seen him in trio other places, but don't remember seeing his trio at Sweet Basil's... ♥ 8:46pm

Thank you for the reassurance that we all miss some deep dates some of the time. 🕰 ♥ 8:46pm
doctorjazz: (Will do my Monday Morning catch up of the show tomorrow, of course)! Nice dinner, both daughters came, younger one's fiance (wish me Mazel Tov), and my Brother in law. 🕰 ♥ 8:47pm

I have this up on Discogs, think i have to pull the trigger! ♥ 8:47pm
DJ Peter: happy father's day, doc and all father's out there! 🕰 ♥ 8:48pm

With a full time practice, it's a wonder i got to the shows I did (and, as i half joke, that and the record collecting are why I will likely never retire...) ♥ 8:48pm
Little Danny:

↳ Song: "Trane's Slow Blues (Trane's Slo Blues)" by "John ...

nice callback to bag's groove at the end :) 🕰 ♥ 8:49pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ doctorjazz @8:41

I agree with everything you say... but I have some early live recordings where he is whacking at the piano for long periods in a rhythmic way, with little melody or harmony. It is super percussive and not as accessible as most of his later work. I will send you a reference. ♥ 8:49pm
DJ Peter:

↳ Little Danny @8:48

Danny catching all the quotes tonight! ♥ 8:50pm
Little Danny: setting off my nerd alert :| 🕰 ♥ 8:50pm
tom tom the pipers son: people keep saying monk in relation to ibrahim but i don’t hear it. i hear a relation to ellington and monk has a relationship to ellington but that doesn’t mean he relates to monk.. i think they come from different places to ellington 🕰 ♥ 8:50pm
Listener Gregory: Check out the "Boulevard" songs here. www.discogs.com... ♥ 8:51pm
Little Danny: what else am i gonna do with all these useless snippets in my brain at all times :(   8:51pm
BenZWPB: Thanks for another outstanding show DJ Peter 🕰 ♥ 8:51pm
doctorjazz:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:49

Sure, that would be great. One thing that was regular at his concerts was that at one point the band would drop out, he'd get a weird rhythm ostinato going in the left hand, and the right hand would go off completely independently-it could be sweet African tunes, or he could to off wildly with that right hand. 🕰 ♥ 8:51pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:50

@doctorj, the above was to you. ♥ 8:52pm
Little Danny: thanks as always peter! best ears around 🕰 ♥ 8:52pm
tom tom the pipers son: oh thx peter, that went by fast.. 🕰 ♥ 8:52pm

doctorjazz:

↳ Song: "Old Fashioned Love" by "Doc Cheatham & Sammy Price"

Saw Doc Cheatham a few times, he did a regular brunch gig (Saturday, i think), also Sweet Basils. He had disappeared for many years, then had a career rebith around thi stime. ♥ 8:53pm

A Scheinem Danke! 🕰 ♥ 8:55pm
Listener Gregory:

↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:54

He played some Monk early on, I believe, and it was very much in the vein of the Master. Also, he apparently acknowledged Monk as an influence. Maybe @doctorj noted that last week. 🕰 ♥ 8:55pm
doctorjazz:

↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50

Beg to disagree, I hear a lot of Monk in AI, his timing is so out of Monk... 🕰 ♥ 8:56pm
Listener Gregory: Peter, your show was so enthralling that I dropped a significant portion of my dinner on the floor. Thanks for a great show! You owe me dinner. ♥ 8:56pm
adamdoesit: Thank you, DJ Peter. That was as tasty as breakfast for dinner. 🕰 ♥ 8:56pm
doctorjazz: Thanks, DJ Peter, sorry I missed it with the chat going, but will catch up in the archive! 🕰 ♥ 8:57pm
tom tom the pipers son:

↳ doctorjazz @8:55

i see it seems like the influence is undeniable but i don’t hear monks oddness 🕰 ♥ 8:58pm
WR: thank you! DJ Peter 🕰 ♥ 8:58pm
tom tom the pipers son: it has to do with my lack of experience with ibrahim what i’ve heard i relate more to coltrane ♥ 8:58pm
DJ Peter:

↳ Listener Gregory @8:56

didn't you go OUT for dinner? ♥ 8:59pm
DJ Peter: thanks WR and everyone! 🕰 ♥ 9:04pm

OK, I didn’t drop THAT much.
