Closing the interview and the show tonight with something from Charlie, again featuring Red Holloway on sax...love the way this one worked out...

...look forward to hearing more from these guys live and on record...get something out Charlie!!

And as Jean Bach signed off with me tonight...Night Night!!

Go Miff Mole...Freetime at 10:00!!
10:28:48 PM  


Charlie chats (with Red Holloway at first in the background practicing "Salt Peanuts") about the 2/1/06 SD Museum of Art date, what he's up to in Cambria with neighbors Red and Ernie (Watts)...and then we are treated to a Live tune from Charlie on piano and Red playing Alto (according to ear-trained Ron Dhanifu)...what a treat! Closing with Charlie's URL and goodbyes...

Thanks Charlie and Red!!
10:26:17 PM  


Getting this next interview segment started with something from Charlie's 2003 disc and a tune featuring is SD Museum of Art Jazz in the Park 2/1/06 Red Holloway...how was I to know that Red would be there when I called Charlie up...here goes...
10:23:08 PM  

Ending the Jean Bach interview segment with another Monk tune...as Jean would enjoy it, I imagine...
10:20:57 PM  

Jean chats about the DVD release of her documentary A Great Day In Harlem, the day itself, the footage from Milt Hinton's camera...in color, the other extras on the DVD, some special stories, and a brief thought on last year's passing of Bobby Short.

Thanks sooo much Jean!! Best of luck on the Gerry Mulligan footage, hopefully it will soon be out..or well baked as Jean metaphorically put it!
10:19:10 PM  


I'm so glad I picked this to lead into the Jean Bach - A Great Day In Harlem interview...Jean seemed to like it and said that everyone back on the day in 1958 were smiling with Monk...I always smile when I hear Monk!
10:16:13 PM  

Great title! And a nice groove indeed on this one...another spin next week is called for!
10:13:19 PM  

Another Jazz classic, this time by Nat Adderly, from a great sounding new Big Band disc...love the spiritual feeling intro to this version...
10:10:43 PM  

A lot of music from just the piano - drums duo...taking the familiar Jazz classic to new directions for sure...
10:07:31 PM  

Nice sounding keys from the classical keyboardist, Joel A. Martin. We'll have to experiment a bit more with this one...
10:04:53 PM  

Nice to get that latin groove back into it...interviews are great and swinging after the interviews is even greater!!
10:02:10 PM  

L.Zaide wanted to speed this one up a bit...a bit more urgency to why you want to get home...if you know what I mean...

Great interview!!
9:58:31 PM  


Chatting with the artist about the tunes, the concept of the album, his introduction to the standards he interprets on the New disc, his time in Vegas, and more...great chat L.Zaide!!
9:55:22 PM  

Kicking off the interview segment with an artists suggested tune...I love this tune to start with...and the lyrics, as L.Zaide is about to reinforce...totally suggestive.

And I like the way it starts out moody and then gets wild!!
9:53:29 PM  


Beautifully done classic made famous by Stan, but what would you expect from A Tribute to Stan Getz...nicely done Mark!
9:50:24 PM  

Nice inventive, creative thing moving out of Hour 1 into our next phase, the introspective and further reaching Hour 2...thanks for getting us there Ivo!
9:47:54 PM  

Hoo Ray!! A local San Diego Big Band Album!!!

Actually this one is both San Diego ensemble and Big Band...with Jazz 88's Cynthia Hammond on vocal on one of the tunes...cool!!!
9:41:18 PM  


Some pretty interesting rhythms from the kind of standard piano-bass-drums trio...interesting composition also...
9:36:29 PM  

This is an electric blues swinger! Right on!!
9:24:40 PM  

Nice mid-tempo swinger from our 2005 Jazz Live guest...
9:22:16 PM  

Nice Brazilian Thing, up tempo for Hour 1...drive away drivers....
9:19:18 PM  

Right on...Jae's got another killer disc with this one...a great opener for the first set of the show!
9:15:40 PM  

You go Steve...some folks don't dig you too much here, but I kinda like the gravelly Jazz voice thing...it's not the same sweet songbird Thing we are getting lots of these days...

...maybe something a bit more adventurous next time out?
9:13:02 PM  


Kickin' off the show and Hour 1 with a little blues swinger...

lots of great things planned for tonight!!!
9:09:13 PM  


Hamas...work with them if they work with us...please...the people have spoken...what have they said?
9:01:30 PM

    Dedicating our last tune of the evening to the equiptment here...pretty unprofessional on my part I'll admit...frustration reigns...

    Lots of fun tonight, even though....thanks to Ed for the interview!!

    NIGHT NIGHT....VO
    9:32:42 PM  


    This is a disc that is getting lots of plus and minus reviews...and lots of pre-press on the whole European Jazz Thing...we've got to get Esbjorn on this show!!

    I will be posting what I know about this subject this week...
    9:30:29 PM  


    Nice sounding tune and performance...fit nicely in Hour 3...inventive...creative...yep...
    9:23:09 PM  

    Yep...an Hour 3 gem...and this disc has lots more where that came from...
    9:21:47 PM  

    "...an iron fist upside the mushy head of smooth jazz..."? It may be something New for Grant, but "iron fist"? That may be a bit much.

    But it would be interesting to hear Grant's story on this...maybe his only 'real' Jazz station interview?
    9:19:52 PM  


    Nice sound to her voice...and a great arrangement too...
    9:17:22 PM  

    Great freakin' wild thing to open up Hour 3 with...and boy do I need wild because I'm feeling wild and PO'd....I just discovered that in my haste to make the interview with Ed happen in another booth because of the unreliable equiptment (not so recently, I must admit, but...), I did not get my CD recording started...CD in the recorder, Record just not pushed...damn...

    ...back to this wild tune...most excellent James!!!
    9:14:12 PM  


    Coming out of the interview with NEA Jazz Master Bob Brookmeyer...he would be a great interview...especially now with his new honors and new re-issue...
    9:10:09 PM  

    Ed and I (finally!!!) chat about Jazz record labels, small vs. big, impact for listeners of multiple channels of Jazz, independent labels and artists vs. the bigs, his thoughts on highlights from the IAJE 2006 conference, and what's up next in JazzWeek.

    Thanks Ed....sorry for no recording on my end...at least the interview happened!!
    9:07:52 PM  


    Fire-y, like Charo...cuchi cuchi....
    9:05:05 PM  

    Swinging into our interview session (Note: I know now that this did not come off at this time and the scramble with busted equiptment begins...)
    9:02:08 PM  

    Love this tune...nice cover L....nice cover art L....
    8:57:40 PM  

    Hour 2 begins introspectively...great flute sound from this New artist!!

    Pronounced Rie-Toe...Thanks Joe!!
    8:48:37 PM  


    From a classic reissue...this one is a mid-tempo tune from a Moodsville release from 1960...great sound to this band...
    8:38:10 PM  

    Nice sounding Big Band...and LIVE no less!!
    8:35:30 PM  

    A second Gershwin tune in Hour 1...already...

    ...and this one sounds so unique...
    8:34:08 PM  


    Nice horn arrangement...blowing some kind of mainstream shit...I warned you...I'm pissed still...and it's not Pascal's fault...
    8:31:20 PM  

    Cool groove...

    Mark in the USD area of SD, 20 yr Jazz 88 listener, digging Lazy Bird...
    8:25:58 PM  


    Swinging New to end Set 1...go Alex!
    8:24:02 PM  

    Great New LIVE disc...Carmen is oh so soulful on this...with stud players all around!!
    8:17:15 PM  

    A great, up-tempo way to kick off the show and Hour 1...

    Note: I'm posting this during Hour 3 and despite the wild and carefree blowing of James Carter to kick off Hour 3, I'm sooooooooo pissed at the turn of events for my interview with Ed Trefzger...no fault of his...but engineering failed and in the process of us running around the studio trying (and eventually succeeding) to make the interview come off...I was not able to get a New CD in the recorder and pushed...so not interview recorded and no audio...damn...

    onward...
    8:14:52 PM  


    Baghdad bombing, Iraq kidnapping, election results announcing...

    ...new announcer Business Reporting...

    10:13:26 PM

    Julius scoring some major points with this tune choice...a tune he wrote for his wife Michelle...you've got me to thank 'Shell....
    10:02:42 PM  

    Leading off with his influences, as he does on the New liner notes...Jackie McLean mentioned....what he's trying to add...Illinois Jacquet...and more from the New....

    Julius on the horn and ready to go!!
    9:57:41 PM

    9:44:28 PM  

    A groovy little number for Paul's latest release...happy to spin it and promote San Diego's own Jazz Educators...

    ...and congrats on Grossmont College's new Jazz Music Accredidation (sp?, correct Paul?).
    9:42:39 PM  


    Paul doing the IAJE from not only the Jazz Educator standpoint (digging the different student bands, kind of measuring his own great program against his peers), but also from an industry and just a plain-old Jazz Fans perspective...you go Paul!!
    9:39:54 PM  

    Congratulations to Bob on his 2006 NEA Jazz Master award, presented at the IAJE 2006 conference...

    ..and on having a great reissue of these classic sessions...these boys swang way out!!
    9:36:46 PM  


    Karin was great tonight, showing us the deepness for all aspects of the music that she and lots of Jazz lovers have...probably most at the IAJE, I would expect...

    Anyway..a taste of IAJE from a musician and fans point of view...audio shortly?!
    9:34:52 PM  


    A spontaneous move by VO pays off with some killer vocals by an almost guest tonight...

    ...who became a guest and I CALLED HER SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME!! Hi Allie!!

    9:21:41 PM

    9:27:04 PM  

    A modern Jazz standard is Kenny Barron's tune...the Jazz Project dudes loved the playing of she-jazzer Tineke...

    ...and she does it well...great inside picture on the CD also...great smile!!

    Oh...and Hi Terri Lynne...another Jazz Live guest this year!!
    9:25:17 PM  


    Part 2 of a 3 part suite....and one of a great disc, soulfull executed with the soul of New Orleans behind it...

    Go Doc!
    9:22:50 PM  


    Hour 3 begins with our guest's CD...and with the beginning tune, the Opener, from the disc...and our guests are already here...digging the New...
    9:21:00 PM  

    Ending Hour 2 with a guest of Jazz Live this year...and what a show that was....

    ...maybe he talked about this in the interview....

    I actually need to do a recap of the interview's I've done this year....what a run of great artists I've been blessed to talk to...wow...
    9:18:52 PM  


    A beautiful homage to Duke, from the opening piano ticklings a la Duke, all the way full circle to conclusion...Dukeish to be sure...
    9:15:49 PM  

    A tune that Houston had wanted to record for a while...another beautiful tune...in ballad form. Lovely!!
    9:13:12 PM  

    A bit more about the birth of Soul Jazz ("we weren't doing anything original, it had all happened before" or something like that), the inspiration of the road, and what's next for this unstopable Jazz icon!!

    And he's coming to San Diego in February, 2006! Right on!!!

    Thanks for the interview Houston!!
    9:11:38 PM  


    Houston had to hunt down Benny Carter to get the chart for this one...but he did and it's great!!
    9:09:00 PM  

    Chating about melody, accessibility, and the non-issue that controversy over what's creative music and what's pandering to the tastes of the unwashed, groove-thirsty masses.

    Count me in on Houston's side...give me the groove...and play it sweet and true...Jazz!
    9:05:51 PM  


    Another great and beautiful melody...a perfect way to kick off the interview...now to Houston on the phone...

    ...success...Thanks Larry Quick!!!
    9:01:59 PM  


    A FANTASTIC New vocal disc!! With lots of players backing up some sweet, strong vocals, especially on this beautiful melody...something that our Hour 2 guest Houston Person would surely love...
    8:59:17 PM  

    A beautiful melody from tonight's guest of Hour 2...and we know how Houston loves a good melody!!
    7:32:06 PM  

    It will be interesting to talk to Mike and John about the intrecacies (sp) of Ken Downing's arrangements. And how TJPBB has taken to it...
    6:57:28 PM  

    This is an interesting big band...great orchestral arrangements...big and huge and lush...excellent!! And a swinger is perfect for Hour 1!!
    6:53:46 PM  

    Nice little loping thing...with interesting turns and twists...and a great real room sound...recorded in Paul's APT I do believe...
    6:49:18 PM  

    More from tonight's guest...this time in a more straight ahead looking sextet...but that was totally fooling me...they jived it all up!!
    6:45:45 PM  

    If we want to...we can...

    Save New Orleans!! Save Jazz!!!
    6:40:18 PM  


    Funky wonderness from tonight's guest! That sounds so fresh it's got to be New!!
    6:35:57 PM  

    Hey Joe!! Thanks again for the great chat last week!

    Everyone else...dig the interview from last week online!!
    6:34:03 PM  


    An interesting arrangement with the guitar and electric keys...you go Jamie!!
    6:29:22 PM  

    Kicking off the show tonight with our honored guest in Hour 2!!

    Can't think of a better way to do it then to swing it on!!
    6:17:51 PM  


    Voting in Iraq...courageous voters...

    Proxmire (sp?) hair plugs...what a memory of my childhood....
