Listener comments!
	1:50pm Mr. Oxford: Hello Dave. Rest in peace, Pharoah Sanders.
	2:02pm Dave Sewelson: Amen, Mr. Oxford
	2:03pm Dave Sewelson: will be on at 2:06 today
	2:08pm doctorjazz: RIP Pharoah Sanders indeed! Will only be here a short while (heading into NYC, Klezmatics show in Washington Square Park, which I heard about on your Monday sub show).
	2:10pm DavidJ: Hi Dave and Free Worlders. Dragged about Pharoah.
	2:11pm neveract: Hello Dave and everyone.. sad day here in LA.
	2:11pm Brian in UK: Hello Dave & cats. Remember seeing Pharoah around 1980. He drifted on from stage right playing Comin' Thro' The Rye. Never quite understood why. What I did feel though was the power.
	2:12pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Dave and friends.
	2:13pm Dave Sewelson: doc, DavidJ neveract and Brian....sad.....
	2:13pm Dave Sewelson: hey Jan...
	2:14pm StringOFperils: Hello again, Dave. And goodbye, Pharoah Sanders. Strange how the world gets chipped away, piece by piece. RIP
	2:16pm doctorjazz: We get older...
	🥁 2:20pm WR: hi drummer streamers. Thank you Dave for making space for us to meditate on Pharoah.
	2:21pm Dave Sewelson: yeah stringy and WR.....
	2:29pm neveract: hey Dave.. did you ever meet Bob Parlocha before you left Oakland?
	2:31pm Dave Sewelson: neveract never did....
	2:36pm Mr. Oxford: I am glad Sanders was able to record and release the Promises album with Floating Points and London symphony orchestra last year. I believe it was his only album in the 21st century.
	2:37pm doctorjazz: Wonderful sounds-will likely hear more on phone rift's NJ Transit.
	🥁 2:48pm WR: Ed Blackwell on those drums with Cherry and Sanders.
	2:52pm Mr. Oxford: This recording of him playing Kazuko in an abandoned tunnel is so beautiful.
	2:56pm neveract: who needs mushrooms for a beautiful trip when there's this..
	2:58pm neveract: Do you have any Kidd Jordan albums you could play Dave?
	3:01pm Dave Sewelson: yep neveract....
	3:01pm duke: Hi Dave R.I.P. Pharoah
	3:03pm Dave Sewelson: yeah duke....
	3:04pm Gina Bacon: Thanks for this, Dave.
	3:04pm Dave Sewelson: thanks for the thanks Gina...
	3:06pm neveract: .. to my mind, his philosophy of life definitely shines through in his music.
	3:07pm Gina Bacon: What a great message...respect art, beauty & love.
	3:10pm doctorjazz: Great sounds for my NJ Transit ride (I hate NJ Transit, btw)!
	🥁 3:11pm WR: On one hand you got Satchmo, and on the other hand you got Satchidananda. It's a start.
	3:12pm neveract: @Dave:I just uploaded to my profile a photo I have of Louis & Jack from 1935 if you'd like to check it out. Forgot I could do that!
	🥁 3:15pm WR: neveract, a fun pic. Seems the theme is sweat.
	3:17pm neveract: a/c was rare back then! Jack is covering his.. a small insight into his personality perhaps
	3:20pm doctorjazz: I remember seeing Satch on TV, Sullivan show and the like. He always had a handkerchief on hand, he was a profuse perspirer.
	3:21pm StringOFperils: I have a great version of You've Got to Have Freedom on Pharoah Sanders Live [Theresa records 1982]. Used to listen to that LP a lot back in the 80s, and when I finally get around to fixing my turntable (sigh) I probably will again
	3:24pm Michael 98145: R.I.P. So very glad we got to see him live a few years back.
	3:24pm doctorjazz: Some turntable love, SOp! Man, is Pharaoh intense!
	3:32pm neveract: @SOP: nice looking table! what is it? I have buy a part and repair my record cleaning machine.
	3:38pm Dave Sewelson: yeah Michael 98145
	3:39pm Michael 98145: And this is perhaps one of the greatest recordings of all time. IMHO.
	3:41pm StringOFperils: @neveract > It's an old Scottish turntable (circa 40 years ago), an Ariston RD-40...2 speed DC motor, so 2 separate pitch controls...I have a better arm I wanted to put on it...and I have to move the whole system down into a cramped basement space, so the imperious old folks next door don't kill me (or vice versa)
	3:42pm StringOFperils: They made a better one, that was the prototype for the LINN Sondek, but mine ain't it
	3:45pm Michael 98145: ( wow. envy. www.vinylengine.com... )
	3:47pm StringOFperils: Yep, that's it, and that's the arm I want to put on it when I'm brave enough, and things are more organized around here (I've been independently rebuilding said basement)
	3:48pm StringOFperils: ...but we should close our eyes and listen to the great man now
	3:48pm doctorjazz: I have a Line, love it! The Creator may have a master plan, but NJ Transit sure doesn't... Had to change trains at Newark. It's usually fairly tight, leaves for NY soon after you get in. So, of course, my train was 20 minutes late, missed the transfer, have to wait about 45 minutes for the next one. Did I say I hate NJ Transit? (Loving the sounds, though...)
	3:48pm Doug Schulkind: Love love love love love
	3:53pm Dave Sewelson: YES Doug....
	3:53pm doctorjazz: *I have a Linn...
	3:54pm StringOFperils: *I understood
	3:55pm doctorjazz: The SME arm has a great rep!
	3:56pm StringOFperils: Your record collection (and your fine fine ears) deserve that turntable, doc! :)
	3:57pm doctorjazz: I've had it since the 80s, probably wouldn't spring for it now...
	3:58pm Michael 98145: whoa
	3:58pm StringOFperils: Yeah, all this old equipment is finicky, but if it's set up right it's like having the band in the room
	3:59pm neveract: .. I'm an audio outcast..I'm still using a pair of nice old 1200 Mk5's and an M5G I bought when Technics announced they were leaving the TT business in 2010 (I think).Then they came back..lol Ortofon stereo carts and a supply of Shure mono carts
	3:59pm Michael 98145: i can't tell how sad it makes me when i'm told "I only stream music -- if ever"
	3:59pm neveract: .. my Technics have never failed.. since 1980
	4:00pm doctorjazz: I stream a lot of Drummer Stream, not much else.
	4:00pm DavidJ: This is beautiful
	4:01pm Dave Sewelson: Pharoah on bass clarinet
	4:02pm doctorjazz: Technics has become very desirable in the audiophile turntable world (after being looked down on a direct drive for years).
	4:02pm Michael 98145: My Technics SL-DD33 has served me faithfully since i don't know when
	4:06pm DavidJ: I have a Linn Axis (their “entry level” - “only” $1K in 1990) that went on the fritz. I recently replaced all the electrolytic caps on the power supply board, it was harrowing. If I had it to do over I’d send it out to have it done. Delicate multilevel circuit board, finicky to solder.
	4:07pm Michael 98145: Saddened by the cause, but this has been a wonderful, wonderful show
	4:08pm neveract: I was assigned the bass clarinet in the university band in college. I "Walter Mitty'd" about being another Dolphy, but usually I was just holding the same 5-6 notes for innumerable bars..lol
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Lovely!
	4:19pm Dave Sewelson: all you need is 5 or 6 notes...
	4:21pm Jeff Moore: All you have to do is play them the right way, at the right time! Sounds simple!
	4:22pm Gina Bacon: I was enlisted to play bass clarinet too, neveract! It was challenging during the parades, because I was (and am) tiny.
	4:24pm StringOFperils: It's your brain and your ten fingers that are the challenge...and then there can be pedals too, depending on what you're wrestling with....5 or 6 notes (with deep engagement) could be a universe
	4:27pm StringOFperils: ...and of course, breath. [kybd thinking ^^]
	4:29pm Michael 98145: this is going to be a valuable archive entry
	4:29pm neveract: .. Starred this show right away.
	4:30pm StringOFperils: Can you imagine being at this VV show, during that era? Oh man.
	4:31pm Michael 98145: At least these performances were preserved
	4:34pm doctorjazz: My younger daughter was assigned bass clarinet in elementary school, and, like Gina, it was about as big as she was. Made the cutest sight! (She dropped it as soon as she could...)
	4:37pm Dean: Same here, doc. I graduated from clarinet to bass clarinet and tenor saxophone in 8th grade. I remember the crook of the bass clarinet just about reaching my forehead.
	4:37pm doctorjazz: Manhattan, finally...
	4:39pm Dean: Sitting down, I mean. I wasn't extremely short. Fortunately, I hadn't heard Dolphy then.
	4:44pm Mr. Oxford: Thank you Dave for a wonderful tribute to one of Jazz music's greatest and most spiritual figures.
	4:49pm Gina Bacon: Thank you, Dave. This was a really great tribute!
	4:50pm doctorjazz: Well, the upside of being stuck in mass transit hell (now waiting for downtown A or C) is getting to hear this wonderful tribute. Thanks, David!
	4:51pm Dean: We're out of time for one of my favorite Sanders tracks, "Our Roots (Began in Africa)," but no matter. The man's career can't be reduced a a single program. Thank you for the uplift.
	4:51pm Gina Bacon: I didn't last long either, doctorjazz!
	4:52pm Dave Sewelson: thanks all....so much music came out of this one person........
	4:53pm Dean: ...and will continue to do so, if not as proximately as before.
	4:54pm duke: Thank you Dave. Great show. I'll return to the archives to hear what I missed.
	4:54pm neveract: Thank you for a wonderful show Dave!
	4:55pm Michael 98145: Thank you so much.
	4:57pm StringOFperils: Cosmic and great forever. Thanks for doing this, Dave.
	4:58pm Dave Sewelson: couldn't do it without the stream wfmu.org...
	4:59pm Dave Sewelson: dig GINA next here wfmu.org...
	5:00pm Michael 98145: we are elevated
	🥁 5:00pm WR: Thank you Dave...
	5:00pm Dave Sewelson: thanks all you listenears...
