[Rabrrrrrr]

1. I don't know!!

But play something that will kick my ass!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Maybe whatever those guys in the picture are playing!

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. Like.... play something good.

:P


Quick! Someone dance with me!

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Maybe some of Leonard Bernstein's fake jazz!

[JimmyJazz]

11. Cool GIF!

And, I think Swing, Swing, Swing goes well with it.

[swag]

5. "Misterioso"

by Monk. Isn't there one that he did with Milt Jackson and MJQ?

I always ask for such cliched stuff, I guess. But I like it.

Failing that, and just to compound my "One Note Charlie" problem, how about that cover of "That's All Right, Mama" from the new Curtis Stigers CD?

I won't be hurt if nothing I beg for gets on.

I'm tuning in now, lady. Thanks for the notice.

[progmom]

7. how is that cliched?

good is good! :bounce:

[swag]

15. I'm just a little sheepish that my jazz knowledge is limited to just

a few big names.

But you're right, "good is good."

Loving this swinging shit you're playing right now.

[progmom]

40. curtis stigers is up next

:hi:

[swag]

42. Thanks! Love it.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

6. Mornin'

I got a couple if you can squeeze them in:

Ella- Dedicated to you or Wacky Dust
and since it's been a few weeks..Compared to What (gotta have our subversive jazz)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. Damn that was fast!

[progmom]

17. i'm good!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

19. Good?

20. Play some Stones!

[Rabrrrrrr]

Whippin' Post!!

[Misunderestimator]

12. Good morning Progmom!!

Hey, have you ever heard Marianne Faithfull's 20th Century Blues album? I haven't but it looks interesting. (Loving Kurt Weill as I do.) It probably wouldn't work with your repertoire but... just a thought.

:hi:

[progmom]

45. no marianne faithful up here at the station

but an intriguing idea for a later show! :hi:

[Zuni]

14. I love Saturday Jazz with progmom!

How about Charlie Parker doing "Mohawk"? :shrug:

But I am loving the swing so I might just have to request Glenn Miller. B-)

But then again, T-Bone Walker's "You call it Stormy Monday" is good for any day of the week, even though it is probably classed under blues, it is jazzy and classy too. :o

I don't know progmom. I am all confused right now. You take your pick of those three and surprise me! :bounce:

:popcorn:
:hi:

[immoderate]

16. Hi progmom! How about the "Concierto"?

The "Concierto d'Aranuez" is one of the most recorded classical pieces by jazz musicians. I have versions by Jim Hall, Bucky Pizzarelli, Dorothy Ashby, Chick Corea ("Spain") and of course, Miles Davis. Oh yeah and some classical recordings.

Anyway, do you know of any others? How about playing one of them? You are the goto person for questions of this type. :loveya:

So, you come out "swingin'?" Louis Prima rocks!

--IMM

[progmom]

71. i really wanted to play the miles version

but it's 16 minutes long.... x(

[immoderate]

83. Do you know of any others?

...besides the ones I mentioned? I realize you have the show to do, so I understand if you can't answer.

I especially like the Roland Hanna solo on the Jim Hall version.

--IMM

[progmom]

86. here's my dilemma

time.
i need a producer. i am all alone up here. x(

[immoderate]

89. Help! I'm a prisoner in a radio station!

Yeah, I understand. I'm always surprised that you get as much done as you do, playing music and answering posts, etc. So, I don't take it personally -- much. :cry:

--IMM

[immoderate]

90. How about...

Paquito D'Rivera's "Tico, Tico?"

--IMM

[Mutley]

18. finally!

I get to listen to your show! Play anything, it's all good to me.

on edit: my cuckobananas man looks like he dancing in time with the music.

[progmom]

72. hey beautiful!

thanks for listening! and your banana is dancing to the music! how cool!

[enigmatic]

21. "All Blues"- Miles Davis

Thanks:)

[babylonsister]

22. Suite for Jazz Flute and Piano 1 is one of my faves;

Bolling and Rampal, I think. Very jazzy/bluesy.

[progmom]

73. i love that too

just looked - the station doesn't have it


but i have it at home. i will try to bring it in next week.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Your voice melts my insides all to vapor...

:swoon:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

24. she's got that jazz dj voice, doesn't she?

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Aye, captain, that she does.

[Zuni]

28. her voice has a shocking nasal quality!

:P

*joking

[progmom]

37. you'd better run!

:grr:

[Zuni]

38. aaaahh

:hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Are there any jazz songs about Lutefisk?

[progmom]

31. OMG

that post made me laugh almost as much as salin's dog post made me cry.

:yourock:

[Zuni]

32. I sure hope that there are

but then again Norway is not known for cool jazz

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. Yeah, for real jazz, you have to go to Utah, apparently

:evilgrin:

[Zuni]

41. Yeah. Provo is like Jazz's 'Motown'

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. Totally.

I think Sun Ra considered it the landing pad of the ark.

[yvr girl]

27. I'll give you a few to chose from

Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares for Me
Holy Cole Trio - Everyday Will be a Holiday
Chet Baker - Let's Get Lost

[progmom]

[Jack Rabbit]

110. Thank you for playing it

[Lannes]

33. How about some Art Tatum?

The man was just sick!

[Zuni]

35. oooh...good call

best piano player ever, and blind

[swag]

34. This Brubeck is something. Nice nice nice.

Some barista at the Starbucks at 22nd & Park Ave, NYC was telling me that Brubeck had recorded some live thing there. Couldn't get it clear from the guy whether that had been a recent appearance, though.

I did get to see the Brubeck Quintet a few years ago, unfortunately it was with the Oregon Symphony, who was performing Brubeck's best-forgotten classical piece "The Gates of Justice." Argh.

But then the orchestra and choir vanished and we got to hear some tasty jazz.

[Zuni]

36. I likes Dave Brubek. I like him alot

[Zuni]

44. who is this?

I have great versions by Arthur Crudup and Bill broonzy

[progmom]

46. this was a request by our very own swag!

it's curtis stigers!

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. Play something totaly free, totally wild...something that would make

a freeper's little head explode.

[Zuni]

50. Something from Miles davis's ESP

[immoderate]

51. Sun Ra kills freepers I'm sure.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

54. LOL...my SONG! Nice piano intro on this version of Moanin'!

Who's doing the tickling?

[Zuni]

56. This is too cool for school

I am loving this myself

[Rabrrrrrr]

58. Yeah, I like this one!

It's a bit more tonal than I prefer, but what the hell - it's great!!

[progmom]

59. this is a teenager from KC

named Eldar.

[Zuni]

61. he is incredible

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

63. Wow this is the kid that does the punk song too!

I like the way he bangs the mother out!

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. Kids like him are the people that American Idol should be for

Fuck those wannabe singers, let's get some musicians on the damn show - musicians playing MUSIC!

[immoderate]

94. I might watch it then.

--IMM

[progmom]

55. Ok - new stipulation.....

Since my show is only two hours long, and it is interrupted by a newscast in the middle, and since you all have such great requests, and so many, can we try to stick to requests for songs under 10 minutes long?

x(

I really want to play Concierto de Aranjuez and So What and all of the other really great....really long tracks, but I don't think I have the time to fit them in. I'm really sorry.

[Rabrrrrrr]

60. how about you get the station to give you ten hours!

Who wants to listen to that shit before and after you anyway?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

65. Look on the bright side

Long songs are really good if the dj has to go to the bathroom :D

[progmom]

77. when i did a 5 hour show from 12-5am

i knew ALL the long songs.
70s Miles all night long! ;)

[immoderate]

66. You need more show!!!

Not all the Conciertos are long. Just sayin'.

Love you when you're assertive.:spank:

--IMM

[Rabrrrrrr]

79. And more cowbell!

[immoderate]

See - we're not all bad guys. Some of us even crawl out of our little mod caves and enjoy excellent jazz from time to time. Which is, by the way, what you are playing as I type. Great show! This will be a regular part of any Saturday morning I'm at home at the computer.
