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...
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
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
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
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
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
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
The New Jazz Thing is LIVE! Thursday, January 26, 2006 from 6 to 9 pm PT (2-5 UTC) on Jazz 88, KSDS San Diego, 88.3 FM with World Wide Webcast at http://Jazz88Online.org!
L.Zaide (ZAY-dee). Smooth, jazzy, introspective vocalist from Chicago via Las Vegas chats about his new disc "Planet Chill: Memoirs of a Jazz Band". Come back for MP3 audio after the show.
Charlie Shoemake. Vibe Master is in San Diego 2/1/06, so we'll be chatting with him about that and digging his Vibes. UPDATE POSTSHOW: MP3s Online!
Collaborate with TNJT! We've got lots of way to play and join fellow TNJT Jazz-heads:
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
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
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
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...
...sorry Annie...look forward to talking to you next week about your disc....
...hi George...telling us about his foundation...and the work recording, audio and video artists...sounds like it would be a great thing to blog...and then include the blogged content in with the video and such...released on the web...that's right...George wants to do this...ah....
...and the next show...Steve Kuhn...ending tonight with New from....
10:13:26 PM
...well...after I start off with the wrong tune...in the right place...for the right tune...which I deftly correct...LIVE...with George Klabin on the line...or Annie Sellick...or Allie...
10:09:47 PM
...a Benny Golson tuned specifically to end with...and what a great arrangement and work by the whole band together...thanks for the suggestion and the interview Julius!!
10:07:13 PM
...more chat...about the band on this disc...his working quartet...with teacher Steve Davis and his Jam Man Jeremy Pelt!! The Jam Session in NY and work elsewhere...hope to hear more!!!
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....
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
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
Kickin' off 2006 with music from our FIRST BIG JAZZ ARTIST INTERVIEW FOR 2006! OK, Paul Seaforth and Karin Carson aren't chopped liver...or other detestable metaphor...but #8 on the JazzWeek Charts!
All The Best for TNJT and Jazz 88 Listeners in 2006!!!
8:46:13 PM

Tonight on the show...
Julius Tolentino. Julius has a smokin' great new album out, "Just The Beginning", which climbed to #8 on the JazzWeek charts, currently at #18. He cut some chops with the Illinois Jacquet Big Band and it sure shows with a great ensemble outing on the new one. In Hour 3. UPDATE: MP3s Online!!
International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) 2006 Conference Coverage. The largest gathering of Jazz educators, researchers, performers, news media, and other industry folks in the world is in NYC this week. We'll have some live reports from the conference and dig into their brochure to dig what is going on with the music with Love...how New is that!! UPDATES: MP3 IAJE Reports from Karin Carson (musician, industry, fan) and Paul Seaforth (musician, educator, industry, fan)...pretty cool!
Other guests as they become available...pretty secret huh?!

Karin is a San Diego-based Jazz Vocalist attending the annual IAJE conference in New York City January 11-14, 2006. If TNJT can't be there, then we will get the artist perspective on Jazz Education and the broader state of Jazz Music at this largest of Jazz events in the world. I'm hoping we can do a two-parter with Karin and have her on the show next week telling us exactly what she saw and her thoughts on it all after-the-fact. I'm sure Karin will also fill us in what's up with her Jazz career and other such interesting things.
12:41:55 PM
the Beezwax story continues...with the New compilation disc...which I want one...and his mention of a subscription model for Beezwax releases...sounding like ArtistShare...more like an Investment model....
It all sounds great David! Keep it up!!!

9:41:47 PM
Nice new disc...and pin-up shots in the liner notes...Hey Jane...weren't you the anti-pinup gal? You can be whatever you want to be...or we want you to be...
9:24:22 PM
Probably the first Jazz I really grasped...because I dug and was made to dig the story told in A Charlie Brown Christmas...it's more that the commercial Thing...
Kickin' off The New Jazz Holiday Music Thing with music I associated with Christmas long before I knew of Duke Ellington, and the music he made long before I was...or maybe not?
At least long before I knew of it...and of Duke...
8:34:30 PM

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