Listener comments!

  9:11am Parq:

Doug, you're just the guy to be feting the life and work of Max Roach. I'm looking forward to hearing what you put on the table.
  9:16am Nello:

I Want GIULIO CAPIOZZO QUARTET!!!!
  9:21am Paul Sherratt:

It may be best to avoid " Two Bugs & A Roach " ... well on this week's programme at least !
  10:29am mike:

Thanks very much for this Doug....very comforting to hear the man's tunes celebrated.
  10:30am Hugo:

Beautiful to hear Max in a duo setting, too. He could pretty much do any format, coudn't he? I got the one he did with Anthony Braxton which might be a interesting choice if you want to explore further that side of his many talents. High time to give the Drummer some, right?
  10:31am Doug:

Hugo, you read my mind. Max with Braxton is cued up on turntable #1!
  10:47am north guinea hills:

holy smith! that braxton/roach duo was insane! love the braxton.
  10:48am jeffrey:

Brother Ah !!!!!!! the antidote to the amorality of the Republican Party. AHHHHHHHH YES!! RIP Max. A love supreme.
  10:48am Hugo:

We ain't nothing but good readers!

And now: Say aah Brother! I had to get that one thanks to you. You read me there!
  10:52am Evelyn:

This is an absolutely beautiful and powerful piece. Thank you so much for playing it. Only you, only on WFMU am I likely to have been blessed with this LOVE PIECE.
  10:57am Jason Das:

Thanks so much for this, Doug. If he had to go, I guess I'm glad it was on a Thursday ... just in time for you to put the show together, but while the feeling is still raw with all of us who loved Max.

After this, back to WKCR, which I think is all Max til next Wedneday or so.
  10:57am Doug:

Evelyn, I wish I could play it every week. Sorry I could only fit an excerpt from it on today's show. To hear the whole thing, check it out on the archive from my show on May 4, 2007: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/22949
  11:22am Julie:

I can't hear this interview. Is it just me or is this very muffled?
  11:29am Doug:

Julie,
So sorry about the condition. This cassette is in pretty bad shape.
  11:29am north guinea hills:

thanks for the interview!
  11:34am Sean:

You should transfer that interview to something more durable or an electronic format. Maybe a sound engineer could clean it up, too.
  11:38am Doug:

I burned it onto a CD this morning, but didn't have time to do any remedial services. Of course, I shoulda done this years ago, but...
  11:40am Sean:

Well, you think on some level that guys like Max Roach are going to be around forever and then one day, suddenly, they're not.
  11:53am Marc:

Bless you Bruddah!
  11:58am Hugo:

Thanks for the interview! Came through quite well on these speakers at least. Can't avoid the inevitable tape hiss, but that just adds to the historical significance of this document.
  12:00pm Evelyn:

Thanks for the follow up info. Great show.
  12:02pm Cort:

This sounded fine on my headphones here at work. Fascinating. Thanks for airing this!
  12:06pm Paul Sherratt:

The interview sounded just perfect
  2:35pm Bob DuCharme:

Great to see the archive version posted so quickly--if I have a busy Friday morning and want to listen to the show uninterrupted (and be able to hit pause when I am interrupted), I'll wait to listen, and it's great that the wait is so short.
