Listener comments!
	🥁 ♥ 3:00pm WR: Funky Tenor Summit. Oh yes, I am down with this.
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Funky16Corners: Hey WR!
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Yvang: Greetings Larry and all!
	🥁 ♥ 3:01pm Funky16Corners: Yvang!
	♥ 3:02pm coelacanth∅: Bam! Right on!
	♥ 3:03pm Mike Sin: I'm guessing we will all be smoking a pack of Kools by the end of this show.
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	🥁 ♥ 3:03pm Funky16Corners: Mike! Smoke'em if you got'em!
	🥁 ♥ 3:04pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry & jazz nuts. Mike Sin, make mine a Gitanes.
	🥁 ♥ 3:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	🥁 ♥ 3:06pm WR: Trumpet player on this OG Blue Train recording? Without looking it up?
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Lee Morgan
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and jazz felines, hop on the blue train
	🥁 ♥ 3:07pm Funky16Corners: Theo!
	🥁 ♥ 3:08pm Brian in UK: Late Fifties/Early Sixties Coltrane quartets are as good as it gets; well to me at least.
	♥ 3:08pm coelacanth∅: funny about kool cigarettes, they're pretty harsh. hot, one might say. i'll have a marlboro though, if someone's got one to spare
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: My old man smoked Kools when I was a kid
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Erica: Hi Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm WR: Yes, Lee Morgan was 19 at the time.
	🥁 ♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: Hi Erica!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Erica: Let the blue train ride.
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: It's weird. neither of my parents have smoked for more than 40 years but I remember their brands, and the brands my gradfather smoked, as well
	♥ 3:10pm coelacanth∅: i know a cat, lives out west now, smoked kools because most people wouldn't bum them off him!
	🥁 ♥ 3:10pm Funky16Corners: @WR - It's early days for Morgan. He was playing with Art Blakey when he recorded this session
	🥁 ♥ 3:12pm doctorjazz: Trane time!!! (After train time...)
	🥁 ♥ 3:13pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc! Don't be late for the Trane!
	♥ 3:13pm coelacanth∅: easy to remember what my parents smoked. both smoked marlboro reds, ~5-1/2 packs between them, and never anything else, for my entire childhood. (and in my mother's case, until she was ~62)
	3:14pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Good afternoon everyone... cool jazz for a hot afternoon.
	🥁 ♥ 3:15pm Funky16Corners: Hey Vincent!
	♥ 3:15pm coelacanth∅: my heat actually kicked on before!
	3:16pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Also, my Trane collection is sorely lacking... I'll own these on wax soon enough though.
	🥁 ♥ 3:17pm Funky16Corners: Fortunately that stuff will never go out of print
	3:18pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @ coelacanth∅: we're hovering around 95 here in Texas... just a little aggravating if you ask me. @Larry: absolutely! I copped A Love Supreme from Target a few months ago. I wished their quality control was better, but yeah.
	♥ 3:18pm coelacanth∅: Ellington, Diz... who else did Miles borrow from for this piece?
	🥁 ♥ 3:19pm Funky16Corners: Dizzy wrote this piece with John Lewis
	♥ 3:20pm coelacanth∅: oh, good! (it does have some a-train in it though)
	🥁 ♥ 3:22pm Erica: All aboard the pun train 🚆.
	🥁 ♥ 3:26pm Brian in UK: Larry, with you on the sermon, Rev.
	♥ 3:26pm coelacanth∅: Vincent i can take 95 fine for a few days, beyond that, yeah aggravating. 85 is perfect light clothing weather for me; but i like the cold weather just as well... my apartment stays TOO cool a lot of the time though.
	🥁 ♥ 3:29pm Funky16Corners: It has been weirdly cool hereabouts, though we had one day this week above 75
	🥁 ♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: Lee Morgan again on this session
	🥁 ♥ 3:34pm Brian in UK: Larry, s'funny, my first jazz album was Coltrane Jazz. On listening & digesting it I realised that it would be with me for the longest time. The sound of the Tenor felt like it had been ingrained within me.
	♥ 3:35pm coelacanth∅: we had a couple days above 80f recently. now it's dropped again and plant life suffers
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Erica: It will be hotter tomorrow and Saturday in South Jersey.
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - My first Coltrane-as-leader album was Love Supreme, but only because i had heard so much about it. I had a lot of fun working my way through his Atlantic catalog, as well as the rest of the Impulse stuff
	♥ 3:42pm coelacanth∅: Erica the forecast here for saturday is 90ºf. it's 60 here now.
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Funky16Corners: Tina Brooks wrote most of his material as well. Great composer, and according to Freddie Hubbard, able to arrange on the spot.
	🥁 ♥ 3:44pm Erica: Unbearable for May coel.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Erica: Luckily we got the air conditioner in and ready.
	🥁 ♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: I've lived in NJ most of my life. We barely have a Spring here. It'll go from 60 to 90 in a week and that's that
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Erica: And it's still hot in September too Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 3:47pm Funky16Corners: The good thing about that is we get to experience a little bit of summer without the tourists
	🥁 ♥ 3:48pm Funky16Corners: We live in a beach town, so it's mostly super crowded here from May until September
	♥ 3:55pm coelacanth∅: the touristas suck here too. lots of jersey folk! ready and eager to treat the locals, and everyone, like shit.
	🥁 ♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: Yup, same here. Fortunately we live in the adjacent town to Point Pleasant, so much of the trouble we deal with is spillover. Tons of traffic, obnoxious tourists (many also from NJ). It makes going out to dinner in the area painful, and if you need anything in Point Pleasant, you're basically fucked.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: Although, the opening of a local bagel store is imminent, which really changes the breakfast game around here.
	🥁 ♥ 3:59pm Erica: Uh oh. Vangelis of Chariots of Fire died.
	🥁 ♥ 4:01pm Erica: Just found out on Facebook.
	🥁 ♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: I saw that earlier.
	🥁 ♥ 4:03pm Erica: Yeah. He performed/recorded with Jon Anderson of Yes before.
	🥁 ♥ 4:04pm Funky16Corners: He was also in a cool 60s band called Aphrodites Child
	🥁 ♥ 4:05pm Erica: Groovy Larry.
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth∅: i remember trying to deal with point pleasant back in the day. it's gotta be twice as bad now. and probably much worse than up here. we have plenty of people from nyc, westchester county, connecticut... driving like assholes. (though lately it seems like many more tags from nj than in the past) and being pushy at restaurants and cafés. i left nj to escape from that, and it was a big improvement at first. gradually it deteriorates though. since "9-11", and since the college started focusing away from the arts and toward business.
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm WR: Enjoying this dive into Tina Brooks, have seen his name on some sessions, albums, but never have focused on his playing before.
	🥁 ♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: It seems, also, that in many of the local beach communities, the old, middle class-ish summer homes have been knocked down and replaced with McMansions. The amount of big money comin through is crazy, like Maseratis driving around cxrazy
	🥁 ♥ 4:08pm Funky16Corners: @WR - There's a bunch more that I won't touch on today, sideman stuff mostly. He was so good, and unfortunately so obscure
	♥ 4:10pm coelacanth∅: ugh. Fuck rich people. along with depriving normal people of affordable houses, they buy up shops and businesses and turn them into shit.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Brian in UK: NJ is the most populated state?
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: Having lived in the general vicinity my entire life, the upscaling of the shore is ridiculous. This used to be a place for everyone to hang out and enjoy the water, and so much of what has come n is engineered for the affluent only. The big one for me is Asbury Park. I started working at the Asbury Park Press in 1984 and the town was still a wreck from the riots of the 70s. Now they're selling million dollar beachfront condos and almost everything old is gone. It's sad.
	🥁 ♥ 4:12pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I don't think so, but we're close to the top of the list. VERY crowded
	🥁 ♥ 4:13pm Funky16Corners: I just looked it up, we're 9th in overall population, but #1 in most densely populated
	♥ 4:14pm Phillippe: howdy
	🥁 ♥ 4:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm WR: Shhhh. Phillippe is back. Can the candid comments about him.
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm Brian in UK: Larry. That is kind of what I meant. Phillippe, you should see what folks are writing about you!!!
	♥ 4:17pm Phillippe: All good, I'm sure!
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm WR: Yeah, we forgot he can look back to see what was written. Should have asked David to delete it all.
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: Nothing but the best, Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Brian in UK: Music, a sense of humour & love are life's essentials.
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm WR: Handy, in particular, with his O.E.D. vocabulary, really piled it on.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Brian in UK: Larry, TB's output is really condensed into a few years.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Don't forget to stay tuned to Kip and Discothech Undergound, celebrating its 50th episode today at 5PM: wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - 1958-1961
	4:23pm Vincent The Soul Chef: The music's great today... gonna retire to the easy chair with my lunch and dig. I need to definitely investigate this Tina Brooks a lot more too :)
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Enjoy your lunch Vincent!
	♥ 4:24pm Phillippe: Hopping on the beach traffic train -- we live right at the last exit before the Chesapeake Bay bridge, so everyone from Baltimore south to about Fredericksburg VA (including all the DC suburbs) who want to go to the beach have to drive past our community. In the summer, there's no getting home without sitting in traffic from 4:00 - 11:00 PM Thursdays, noon to midnight on Friday, and pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday. Wayze and Google Maps diverts people through the back ways when the bridge starts to back up. We're lucky that we have the basics in the neighborhood shopping center, because you definitely don't want to go anywhere
	4:26pm adamdoesit: Hi Rev Larry and tenor madfolk!
	♥ 4:29pm coelacanth∅: uh oh. Phillippe's back. HI Phillippe!
	♥ 4:31pm Discotech Underground: Liberty swallowed up Blue Note, UA swallowed up Liberty.
	♥ 4:35pm Phillippe: Was stuck in traffic, coel
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Kip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey adamdoesit!
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm zzz: hey @F16C and all! loving this show and the Brooks/blue note set. Picking up many of the Connoisseur collection (as well as the Rare Groove series) releases when they were put out on CD was very formative listening for me
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz! Both of those series were indispensable.
	♥ 4:40pm Discotech Underground: We are only getting one side of the stereo separation again. This sax solo sounds like it's in the other room.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: Anyone else having issues? The sax solo is all in the right channel.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Erica: Same here Kip.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Erica: Yes Larry. I can't hear the sax either.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I just checked in the app. Not sure what's up
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth∅: yes, the left channel on both sides
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm zzz: Hank Mobley, another underrated (?) blue note tenor player i can never tire of yes, sax was very low but everything else sounds good
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: Check it again in a few
	4:43pm adamdoesit: Same. Thought it was my phone (listening on the iOS app). Now I hear Booker.
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm zzz: loud and clear
	4:43pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Sounds A-OK now, in true stereophonic sound...
	♥ 4:44pm coelacanth∅: true. sounded great despite being almost saxless. but now it's perfect!
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: I fixed it. Fucking Windows update changed the setting again
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Brian in UK: Sounds like the Stream jumped in & out. Sounds good now.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Erica: That's better Larry. Thanks! 🎷🎺
	♥ 4:44pm Discotech Underground: I'm getting both channels now. Listening in headphones and can hear the split channels.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: I had to disconnect and reconnect for the setting to take effect
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm WR: Larry, was interesting to hear of your submersion into bop for a couple of years. Will listen back to your intro digest what you said.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: I'll be uploading a "stereo correct" version of the show for the archive later on
	♥ 4:48pm holland oats: great set - love the sound of booker's tenor here
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Thanks hollandoats! Booker had a very specific, identifiable sound
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link again to check out Kip and Discotech Underground at 5PM - wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm WR: Have customer call, so writing my thank you now, great episode. Laters all.
	🥁 ♥ 4:50pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR! Later!
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm zzz: very cool piano solo
	♥ 4:55pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:55pm dutchtheo: Thank you, Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Erica: Thanks Larry.
	4:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Thanks for another chance to hear this live, mister boss man :) Great show, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all for listening!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry.
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Yvang: Thanks Larry! Indeed I dug!
	🥁 ♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Brian! Yvang!
	♥ 4:56pm Phillippe: Thanks Larry!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Phillippe!

	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm WR: Shhhh. Phillippe is back. Can the candid comments about him.
	🥁 ♥ 4:15pm Brian in UK: Larry. That is kind of what I meant. Phillippe, you should see what folks are writing about you!!!
	♥ 4:17pm Phillippe: All good, I'm sure!
	🥁 ♥ 4:17pm WR: Yeah, we forgot he can look back to see what was written. Should have asked David to delete it all.
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: Nothing but the best, Phillippe!
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm Brian in UK: Music, a sense of humour & love are life's essentials.
	🥁 ♥ 4:19pm WR: Handy, in particular, with his O.E.D. vocabulary, really piled it on.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Brian in UK: Larry, TB's output is really condensed into a few years.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: Don't forget to stay tuned to Kip and Discothech Undergound, celebrating its 50th episode today at 5PM: wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - 1958-1961
	4:23pm Vincent The Soul Chef: The music's great today... gonna retire to the easy chair with my lunch and dig. I need to definitely investigate this Tina Brooks a lot more too :)
	🥁 ♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: Enjoy your lunch Vincent!
	♥ 4:24pm Phillippe: Hopping on the beach traffic train -- we live right at the last exit before the Chesapeake Bay bridge, so everyone from Baltimore south to about Fredericksburg VA (including all the DC suburbs) who want to go to the beach have to drive past our community. In the summer, there's no getting home without sitting in traffic from 4:00 - 11:00 PM Thursdays, noon to midnight on Friday, and pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday. Wayze and Google Maps diverts people through the back ways when the bridge starts to back up. We're lucky that we have the basics in the neighborhood shopping center, because you definitely don't want to go anywhere
	4:26pm adamdoesit: Hi Rev Larry and tenor madfolk!
	♥ 4:29pm coelacanth∅: uh oh. Phillippe's back. HI Phillippe!
	♥ 4:31pm Discotech Underground: Liberty swallowed up Blue Note, UA swallowed up Liberty.
	♥ 4:35pm Phillippe: Was stuck in traffic, coel
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Kip!
	🥁 ♥ 4:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey adamdoesit!
	🥁 ♥ 4:36pm zzz: hey @F16C and all! loving this show and the Brooks/blue note set. Picking up many of the Connoisseur collection (as well as the Rare Groove series) releases when they were put out on CD was very formative listening for me
	🥁 ♥ 4:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey zzz! Both of those series were indispensable.
	♥ 4:40pm Discotech Underground: We are only getting one side of the stereo separation again. This sax solo sounds like it's in the other room.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Funky16Corners: Anyone else having issues? The sax solo is all in the right channel.
	🥁 ♥ 4:40pm Erica: Same here Kip.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Erica: Yes Larry. I can't hear the sax either.
	🥁 ♥ 4:41pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, I just checked in the app. Not sure what's up
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth∅: yes, the left channel on both sides
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm zzz: Hank Mobley, another underrated (?) blue note tenor player i can never tire of yes, sax was very low but everything else sounds good
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: Check it again in a few
	4:43pm adamdoesit: Same. Thought it was my phone (listening on the iOS app). Now I hear Booker.
	🥁 ♥ 4:43pm zzz: loud and clear
	4:43pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Sounds A-OK now, in true stereophonic sound...
	♥ 4:44pm coelacanth∅: true. sounded great despite being almost saxless. but now it's perfect!
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: I fixed it. Fucking Windows update changed the setting again
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Brian in UK: Sounds like the Stream jumped in & out. Sounds good now.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Erica: That's better Larry. Thanks! 🎷🎺
	♥ 4:44pm Discotech Underground: I'm getting both channels now. Listening in headphones and can hear the split channels.
	🥁 ♥ 4:44pm Funky16Corners: I had to disconnect and reconnect for the setting to take effect
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm WR: Larry, was interesting to hear of your submersion into bop for a couple of years. Will listen back to your intro digest what you said.
	🥁 ♥ 4:45pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR
	🥁 ♥ 4:47pm Funky16Corners: I'll be uploading a "stereo correct" version of the show for the archive later on
	♥ 4:48pm holland oats: great set - love the sound of booker's tenor here
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Thanks hollandoats! Booker had a very specific, identifiable sound
	🥁 ♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: Here's the link again to check out Kip and Discotech Underground at 5PM - wfmu.org...
