Urth, will this get archived?  I'd sure like to save it.


I'll try, but can't promise.

The answer I was looking for with the trivia question is that all (Morse, Metheny, & Jaco) were graduates (or at least attended--Jaco may not have graduated) of the jazz program at University of Miami. Lots of great players came out of that school--Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein went there as well, and I think Mike Stern did too.

You must be listening on an actual radio, because you posted before it started on the internet.  Really bad reception downtown today...

I was amused by that as well.  And 15 minutes before that, a near-instrumental from Mocean Worker.

So how come none of you made note of Dave's disclaimer about the "Madison Time" dance calls -- "totally different head"?  I can't remember the last time he referenced one of his own clips!

listening the second time around, they kind of sound like a Southern-fried Weather Report, knowing we're going to hear Birdland soon.  Andy's really pumping the bassline, eh?

The Madison

this morning, some clubmembers had not heard this before, so I  can't stress enough the need to see Hairspray.  The scene where they are dancing to  this is freakin' hilarious.

And away we go...

referencing Birdland!  Which is a cool segue indeed.

I was curious to see if I could find out who played bass on the JB tune, and it turns out to be Phil Chenn, someone else I've had the pleasure to meet.  Really nice guy.  Raised in Jamaica, it's interested to  watch this Chinese-looking guy talk.  I only met Jaco once, so counting Andy, I've met three of the bass players in today's 10@10!  That and 1.50 will get me a grande at Starbucks, right?

When Dave distinguished the dance calls from "singing," he called the former a "totally different head," a reference to a "Square Pegs" clip he often plays in 1982.  ("Are you punk?"  "No. Way.  I'm New Wave.  Totally different head.  Totally.")

Listening to the instrumental set again this morning (kicking off the marathon, I assume), I find myself wishing Herb Alpert's "A Taste of Honey" had been in the set instead of only being used in the back-announce.  I don't win cool points for saying this, but I love a lot of Herb's '60s output.

Gaz, do you agree that the Mocean Worker cut is an awful lot like US3's "Cantaloop" (if not a blatant rip-off of same)?

Just checking thru the archives to compare yesterday's Strictly Instrumental with a couple I have from past dates. Both of the previous ones have two songs in common with yesterday's set: Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Hang 'Em High in one, Fire on High and The Woo Hoo Song (although not the original version we heard yesterday) in the other.

And also significant: yesterday's was the second Strictly Instrumental set we've heard in 2005--there was one barely two months ago, in early April. If this means that the SI theme is returning to popularity, we ought to start coming up with a few new suggestions to keep the genre fresh. And I don't think they have to be too Strictly Instrumental. Madison Time notwithstanding, if ELO's Fire on High (which has a chorus in the background repeating the title phrase numerous times) qualifies, then I would think something like the Young Fresh Fellows' Taco Wagon (which appeared in a food theme set last year) would make it too.

And yes, 'shray, last night's set is in the queue to be archived.
