Setlist 12/15/11

Hello radio folk!

Thursday was another successful show. A lot of jazz to be had and celebrated all around, of all shapes and sounds! Unfortunately, no one seems to want to post any of those tunes on Youtube... But you are encouraged to check them out, especially the late and great Paul Motian and Happy Apple. Also Blur. Because Blur is the best (except for Gorillaz, of course, but the two are intimately related).

ALSO, I will be doing SO MUCH RADIO this week: I will be on Wednesday noon-3 and 4-5:30 pm, Jazz Til Noon on Thursday from 9-noon, this show, AND a VERY SPECIAL Thursday night/Friday morning 3-6am in which I will be doing a dramatic reading of the "Sirens" chapter of Ulysses (a wacky, crazy, awesome chapter) over Ornette Coleman Double Quartet's Free Jazz album. Two different quartets on each left/right speaker, one blasting voice of Ulysses. LISTEN UP, KIDS!

A bit belated, but here ya go! A swell setlist for a swell time of year! And a swell inside joke that probably no one else got, unless any English nerds were listening out there. At least you all got to witness me cracking up for no apparent reason though. It was fun for all, sure!

WHAT IT IS - Setlist 12/2/11

Last night I triumphantly returned to WCBN's residential soul-funk show with a set featuring more soul-type songs and more jazz-turned-funk-turned-Bernard Purdie-showoffathon type songs, all culminating in the unannounced special surprise of Bootsy Collins's "Happy Holidaze" from Christmas is 4 Ever. And so it was that Snoop Dogg said it was so.
