🥁

8:31am duke:

Lenny looks like he might hit someone with that stick

8:33am Doug Schulkind:

You could put someone's eye out with that thing!

9:21am doctorjazz:

Hey, congrats, Doug!!!!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

🥁

9:26am dutchtheo:

Doug, Hee Haw!, UM, Yes a suit is maybe too much a Trump uniform. But also a Lenny uniform

9:27am listener Rey:

Congratulations Doug. You'll need to update your business cards now (do people still use business cards?)

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

I'm gonna have mind-your-own-business cards, listener Rey!

9:29am Flash Strap:

Congratulations, Doug! Such swell news

9:30am ausmanx:

Rockin Sidney is rockin Sydney...

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Gulp. I still have one more paper to write, folks.

9:34am annie:

my business card says i am "Just a sew-and-sew" .. so glad for you doug, and you must be stoked and ..ok, kindof excited, too.. you'll breeze through that paper doug. congratulations!

9:36am ausmanx:

you have 16,500 artists on the list that you've played, doug... would anyone else at FMU even come close to that???

9:38am Monica:

Just tuned in. Wow, congrats, Doug! Congrats So impressive. Plus running the Drummer stream without a hitch through all of it!

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
Oh sure. Irwin Chusid has been on WFMU for more than 40 years. I'm just at 30+. And that list of artists only goes back to about the year 2000.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, Monica!!!!

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

I downloaded that Brigid Mae Power record two years ago and finally just cracked it open. What the hell was I thinking?!

9:43am still b/p:

Saving for special. Like a 100 year old duck egg at a Chinese banquet.

9:43am Monica:

i was late to it as well. a gorgeous track.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
100-Year-Old Duck Egg was the name of my band in high school!

@Monica
I had a hard time choosing a track from her Lp to play. That's always a good sign.

9:48am still b/p:

Prom theme: Chinese State Dinner in the Great Hall..

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Lucinda always sounds like she needs a hug.

9:50am Sem:

True that.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Makes me think of George Bush puking at the state dinner, but that was Japan.

9:50am annie:

i love this song, and yes doug, she does... and i want to hug her each time i hear one of her songs. she was here at The Orange Peel acouple of years ago and i thought she was so miserable.. a woman i know here is her cousin.. .. her stuff is so raw.

🥁

9:51am duke:

I could fall in love with Lucinda Williams . Don't tell my wife.

9:52am annie:

he, i'm already in love with her, but in a platonic way.. .. :)

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Falling in love with Lucinda is a dangerous game.

Let's play it.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Amy Rigby, she who wrote the song, "Tonight I'm Gonna Give the Drummer Some"

{blush}

9:54am still b/p:

"do you promise to love, honor, and hug hard every quarter hour for as long as you both shall live...?"

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

I do solemnly swear...

9:56am Paul Sherratt in the UK:

Genius set, Doug.
It has to be said...

( Wilfred Chavis came on the shuffle during a long drive the other day - made a note to mention him to you but of course he's already on that long list )

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

Brother Sherratt!

10:00am Webhamster Henry:

This is very Madagascan sounding!

🥁

10:05am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and funsters. Hello Paul.
Have you qualified, Doug?

🥁

10:08am Brian in UK:

Wilfred Chavis came on the shuffle. That expression opens a whole world.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Nine days from now, Brian in UK. Then I will be a pro fessional.

10:08am holland oats:

hullo doug et drummas [finger snaps]

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

Better than being a hammer chewer.

10:09am Listener Gregory:

A local cinema has a series of jazz films upcoming, and one is "Charlie Haden, Rambling Boy." Does anyone know if it's worth seeing?

10:10am Sem:

Hello, Squire of Shropshire. Going slow on that Selwood autobiography, rich, rich, rich in great stories. Much appreciated.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

This pianist, Chris Anderson, was Herbie Hancock's first teacher. Herbie credits Anderson with immensity.

Well hullo there, holland oats!

@Listener Gregory
I would go in a heartbeat. And also, hi!

🥁

10:11am duke:

@Listener Gregory I haven't seen that yet, but my philosophy is that anything involving Charlie Haden is worth checking out.

🥁

10:12am Brian in UK:

Sem, glad you like it, easy to race through too quickly.
Beautiful day here, wish you could see it.
Got to get back to marmalising trees and vegetation.

🥁

10:12am doctorjazz:

Michel Petrucciani also had osteogenesis imperfect-saw him once at the Village Vanguard, amazing thing to see...

10:12am Mr C:

Where is Chris Anderson from? New to me...

10:13am Sem:

BiUK: we have been listening with dismay to the excellent weather we are missing there. Glad you have a chance to dry out;-D

🥁

10:14am Brian in UK:

This Chris Anderson sounds so clean and fresh.

10:14am ausmanx:

oh, Mike Cooper played a gig in my living room on Sunday, Doug, and i have Peter Brotzmann in two weeks. big month! Mr Cooper was really excellent... i'm a bit scared about PB

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
He was from Chicago. Came to NYC as Dinah Washington's pianist. She fired him after six weeks (as she did with most of her pianists) and he ended up staying in Gotham.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Anderson's obit in the NYT: www.nytimes.com...

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

Mr Cooper and I at Cafe Oto. Photograph courtesy of Paul Sherratt.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

The basist with Randy Weston here is Vishnu Wood.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

I love that photo, Brian. Two esteemed earthlings!

10:19am holland oats:

i listened to a couple mike cooper records in my living room the other day so there

10:20am ausmanx:

what year was that, brian? i may even have been there! the first time i met mike we ran into each other before a gig there in a turkish restaurant in dalston and he recognised me cos i was wearing an FMU jacket!

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Mr. Cooper peers in at this radio show from his perch in Rome, from time to time.

10:21am holland oats:

from tiiiime to tiiime

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Years ago I ask Cooper what it would take to get him to come play on my show. He said he refused to enter the country until George W. Bush was gone. I think I missed my window.

🥁

10:22am Brian in UK:

He is holding a Steve Gunn album. They both played solo and together that night.

🥁

10:23am Brian in UK:

I saw him previously with Lol Coxhill, same venue.

10:23am Paul Sherratt in the UK:

Brian,
I've always been satisfied with picture as it was only illuminated by the bar's fridge.
AusM,
Perhaps appearances are deceptive ... but good luck !

We have Tom Brosseau at home Nr. St Ives, Cornwall on the 28th April
- so if any drummers are nearby etc - but it's going to be pretty packed !

10:24am Mr C:

Thanks Doug. Hidden treasure..

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

Paul, that was brilliant work on the photograph. It was very dark.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Give Tommy a firm handshake from me, Paul. He breezed through Pittsburgh a few years ago. He sounded as shimmering as ever.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Ask Herbie Hancock about Chris Anderson and he'll go on for hours.

10:26am Paul Sherratt in the UK:

Will do Doug.
I'm told he's a parent now.

🥁

10:27am Brian in UK:

Tommy B, a DAD?

10:27am ausmanx:

mike was actually with richard bishop the night i was there, i think... quite strange, on reflection! inner sydney can't compete with st ives, paul!

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Well that's wonderful news!

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

My beloved and I spent a glorious week in St. Ives. We walked and walked and walked. I talked to cows.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

The transcendent Mary Halvorson on guitar here. One of the brilliant sonic pioneers of this generation.

10:31am Paul Sherratt in the UK:

Doug, our long-time heir to the throne ( what is THAT all about ) talks to the trees

10:32am ausmanx:

did the cows talk back, doug? they were going a bit bonkers there back in the 1980s. 1 a.m. approaches so i fear i must stop pretending to work and get outta here... till next week!

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

As long as the trees don't talk back, we'll be okay.

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

Talking of sonic pioneers of sound. Daphne Oram is to be featured at the Proms this year.
www.bbc.co.uk...

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

Drive safe, ausmanx. Or are you cowing it home?

🥁

10:34am Brian in UK:

Bye ausmanx. Drive carefully.

10:34am Listener Gregory:

You're reading my mind, Doug. I was listening to this CD (The Out Louds) yesterday afternoon, and it's still on my desk. All the cuts are improvised, apparently.

10:34am Dean:

Five hundred bucks'll get you 121 CDs, 36 DVDs, and a Blu-Ray disc from DG to go with that GIF. Complete recorded works of Bernstein.

10:34am ausmanx:

they don't permit ruminants on the harbour bridge, doug...

🥁

10:35am Brian in UK:

To the garden.

10:35am ausmanx:

and i am planning my drive through shropshire in august, brian...

10:36am still b/p:

Dr. Drumlittle.

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

You might want to fix the safety latch on your mind, Listener Gregory.

10:37am Listener Gregory:

That's what my psychiatrists have all said, Doug!

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

He drums to the an-i-mals, drums to the an-i-mals.

10:41am annie:

closing the chat ... gifs screw things up on this mac..time for a new one. or an optimizing session..

10:45am Dean:

Naim is the label associated with the high-end audio gear company. They recorded a couple discs by Union, a piano trio featuring Laurence Hobgood, Brian Torff, and Paul Wertico. Nice stuff.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
I'll be sending my bill in the mail.

🥁

10:47am dutchtheo:

Baobab; Utru Horas is the perfect hammock soundtrack

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for that info, Dean. I didn't know. And also, hello!

10:54am Mark Hurst:

What a nice track.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
What's in a naim?

10:55am Dean:

Rows is a roe's is arose.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

This tune is very soukous-y, but it's from Tanzania/Kenya, not the Congo.

10:57am Dean:

Cultural appropriation!

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you like, Mark. Nice is nice!

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

The next selection will be Easy on the ears. Literally.

🥁

11:06am dutchtheo:

got out of the hammock, dansi dans

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

You don't have one of those special "dancing hammocks," dutchtheo?

11:10am Dean:

Coming from Dave Holland, Evan Parker, Craig Taborn & Ches Smith:
https://jazztimes.com/departments/songpreviews/dave-holland-qa/

11:12am Mr. Magoo:

Hideeho.

11:12am rw:

Hello! The music's sounding too good this morning.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

The man of the hour, Mr. Magoo!

I'm endeavoring to push the "good" envelope, rw.

🥁

11:13am dutchtheo:

no, i don't want to profane the hammock

11:14am sinner:

Delicious.

11:15am Monica:

FUNKY!

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

The funk only gets thickerer from here, friends.

11:18am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, sinner!

11:19am rw:

Keep it thick and sticky.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Sthicky?

11:20am rw:

The sthickiest.

11:24am Parq:

< sneaks in, slides into seat in last row >

11:25am Funky16Corners:

Hey man!

🥁

11:25am dutchtheo:

"T" says thank you, coool

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

F16C!

11:26am Mr. Magoo:

@Dean: I should probably play something from that Holland et al. soon.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, sneaky Parq!

11:26am Uncle Michael:

Please don't forget that you still have a radio roof over your head, in the next room, after this fine program signs off.

www.wfmu.org...

11:27am Funky16Corners:

I spent the morning acquiring groceries and pulling records for future broadcasting. Glad to settle in for the end of the show.

11:28am Stanley:

Gentle people. Glad I could join you. Lovely summer day here in Yorkshire. Yeah in April!

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Testify! is the high-protein energy bar of radio shows.

🥁

11:29am dutchtheo:

ad some sugar Lee, and an i cold beer, 85F

11:29am Funky16Corners:

It is packed with nuts and roughage.

11:29am Sem:

Hello, Stanley. Mind you don't get sunburn.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Lovely Stanley!

11:30am Dean:

@Mr. Magoo: I might have to pre-order it. I'm by no means a Holland completist, but this one looks especially promising.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

This band, Apples, is from Nigeria.

11:31am Funky16Corners:

This is cool!

11:34am Dean:

Another band, Oranges, is from Baltimore.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Music is love, my friends.

I music you.

11:34am Dean:

Speaking of which, I'll be heading to Baltimore in July. Record store tips, folks?

11:35am Sem:

Awww, Doug.-)

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Go to True Vine: thetruevinerecordshop.com

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

This could be Mary Halvorson on guitar!

11:38am Dean:

Excellent, thank you!

"Music" has in fact been used as a transitive verb, which only half surprises me. OED offers this example, among others: "The girls..have not only been Frenched, and Musicked, and Deportmented,..but they have also had [etc.]." (The "[etc.]" is OED's.)

11:40am listener Rey:

That 10:30 meeting made me miss a bunch of good songs. I'll have to catch up with those tracks on the archive

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Shoulda put me on speakerphone, Rey!

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hinky Dinky Time promotes a beautiful philosophy. Listen and let listen. Beautiful Uncle Michael is next, on your 24-hour Drummer Stream:

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Our next artist:

Napoleon Robert “IJ 'Iron Jaw'” Harris

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Iron Jaw is one of those nicknames you'd rather not have to actually earn.

11:53am Funky16Corners:

Never heard this version before. I have it by Mighty Sam on Amy

11:54am Mark Hurst:

I'm headed from GTDS straight into HDT. It's a good day.

11:54am Parq:

Conley's background with Otis was way on display in that track.

11:54am Monica:

thanks for another stellar show, doug!

11:55am Sem:

Thanks, Doug, this last set has been a thing of beauty. See you next time, Mr. Almost Graduate.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Great to have you along for the ride, Mark!

Thanks, Mo!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for getting me through my morning, Doug.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Yup, Sem, one more show before I become a grownup!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Hand in hand, arm in arm, ear in ear, Uncle Michael.

11:57am still b/p:

This is a set superb.

11:57am Funky16Corners:

There's going to be a keg party, right?

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Good observation, Parq!

11:58am rw:

Thanks Doug! See you all at the keg party!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

What a monstrously huge pleasure. Thanks everyone!

12:01pm Parq:

Doug, listening to it, i thought I heard a lot of Muscle Shoals in general and Otis in particular. Checked the Wiki; right on both counts. Sometimes I fool myself into thinking I actually know stuff.
