Charlie chats (with Red Holloway at first in the background practicing "Salt Peanuts") about the 2/1/06 SD Museum of Art date, what he's up to in Cambria with neighbors Red and Ernie (Watts)...and then we are treated to a Live tune from Charlie on piano and Red playing Alto (according to ear-trained Ron Dhanifu)...what a treat! Closing with Charlie's URL and goodbyes...
Getting this next interview segment started with something from Charlie's 2003 disc and a tune featuring is SD Museum of Art Jazz in the Park 2/1/06 Red Holloway...how was I to know that Red would be there when I called Charlie up...here goes...
10:23:08 PM
Jean chats about the DVD release of her documentary A Great Day In Harlem, the day itself, the footage from Milt Hinton's camera...in color, the other extras on the DVD, some special stories, and a brief thought on last year's passing of Bobby Short.
Thanks sooo much Jean!! Best of luck on the Gerry Mulligan footage, hopefully it will soon be out..or well baked as Jean metaphorically put it!
10:19:10 PM
I'm so glad I picked this to lead into the Jean Bach - A Great Day In Harlem interview...Jean seemed to like it and said that everyone back on the day in 1958 were smiling with Monk...I always smile when I hear Monk!
10:16:13 PM
Another Jazz classic, this time by Nat Adderly, from a great sounding new Big Band disc...love the spiritual feeling intro to this version...
10:10:43 PM
Chatting with the artist about the tunes, the concept of the album, his introduction to the standards he interprets on the New disc, his time in Vegas, and more...great chat L.Zaide!!
9:55:22 PM
Kicking off the interview segment with an artists suggested tune...I love this tune to start with...and the lyrics, as L.Zaide is about to reinforce...totally suggestive.
And I like the way it starts out moody and then gets wild!!
9:53:29 PM
Nice inventive, creative thing moving out of Hour 1 into our next phase, the introspective and further reaching Hour 2...thanks for getting us there Ivo!
9:47:54 PM
You go Steve...some folks don't dig you too much here, but I kinda like the gravelly Jazz voice thing...it's not the same sweet songbird Thing we are getting lots of these days...
...maybe something a bit more adventurous next time out?

Charlie Shoemake. Vibe Master is in San Diego 2/1/06, so we'll be chatting with him about that and digging his Vibes. UPDATE POSTSHOW: MP3s Online!
Collaborate with TNJT! We've got lots of way to play and join fellow TNJT Jazz-heads:
This is a disc that is getting lots of plus and minus reviews...and lots of pre-press on the whole European Jazz Thing...we've got to get Esbjorn on this show!!
I will be posting what I know about this subject this week...
9:30:29 PM
Great freakin' wild thing to open up Hour 3 with...and boy do I need wild because I'm feeling wild and PO'd....I just discovered that in my haste to make the interview with Ed happen in another booth because of the unreliable equiptment (not so recently, I must admit, but...), I did not get my CD recording started...CD in the recorder, Record just not pushed...damn...
...back to this wild tune...most excellent James!!!
9:14:12 PM
Coming out of the interview with NEA Jazz Master Bob Brookmeyer...he would be a great interview...especially now with his new honors and new re-issue...
9:10:09 PM
Ed and I (finally!!!) chat about Jazz record labels, small vs. big, impact for listeners of multiple channels of Jazz, independent labels and artists vs. the bigs, his thoughts on highlights from the IAJE 2006 conference, and what's up next in JazzWeek.
Thanks Ed....sorry for no recording on my end...at least the interview happened!!
9:07:52 PM
Swinging into our interview session (Note: I know now that this did not come off at this time and the scramble with busted equiptment begins...)
9:02:08 PM
A great, up-tempo way to kick off the show and Hour 1...
Note: I'm posting this during Hour 3 and despite the wild and carefree blowing of James Carter to kick off Hour 3, I'm sooooooooo pissed at the turn of events for my interview with Ed Trefzger...no fault of his...but engineering failed and in the process of us running around the studio trying (and eventually succeeding) to make the interview come off...I was not able to get a New CD in the recorder and pushed...so not interview recorded and no audio...damn...
...sorry Annie...look forward to talking to you next week about your disc....
...hi George...telling us about his foundation...and the work recording, audio and video artists...sounds like it would be a great thing to blog...and then include the blogged content in with the video and such...released on the web...that's right...George wants to do this...ah....
...and the next show...Steve Kuhn...ending tonight with New from....
10:13:26 PM
...well...after I start off with the wrong tune...in the right place...for the right tune...which I deftly correct...LIVE...with George Klabin on the line...or Annie Sellick...or Allie...
10:09:47 PM
...a Benny Golson tuned specifically to end with...and what a great arrangement and work by the whole band together...thanks for the suggestion and the interview Julius!!
10:07:13 PM
...more chat...about the band on this disc...his working quartet...with teacher Steve Davis and his Jam Man Jeremy Pelt!! The Jam Session in NY and work elsewhere...hope to hear more!!!
Leading off with his influences, as he does on the New liner notes...Jackie McLean mentioned....what he's trying to add...Illinois Jacquet...and more from the New....
