Jazz

With Wal

Say no to the slow and indeed to the speed! Spinning the very best in bebop jazz, with familiar standards and brilliant originals. Mid- and up-tempo combo instrumentals. No ballads, no big bands, no vocals.

Geez huh- we were just talking about him...RIP Joey and THANX!

Yeah, I was crushed to hear the news of Joey's death.

My B3 buddy texted me and it really didn't bother me until later when I told Mrs. Rinda

51 yo BUT what a legacy- really

Ah. Yes, that's right, you had a organist friend listening last week.

And Joey also played sax and trumpet, too!!

HEY is that Pacific Jazz Quartet gig in Claremont tomorrow or Monday????

PJQ is tomorrow!

https://jazzatcollegecenter.com/

Thats true ! Joey was born gifted!!

Are you planning on going to see them play?

YES!

Where is the best place to park?

There's usually plenty of parking in the lot of the shopping center

10-4

They have live jazz there every Sunday. It's such a nice gig!

Should be a beautiful day for jazz!

Yes! Was at a jazz gig last night and it was really nice outside.

Awesome!! Looks like that venue IS in a shopping center of some kind

Yes, that is a shopping center

That promo was nice--

Yes, Joey recorded that for me about 5 years ago

You met him???

No, we corresponded online

Still- pretty great!!

You were wise to initiate that!

It is! I am very appreciative that he did that.

Yes, I played him so much on my show, I thought it would be great to have him record it for us.

How are things in Redlands today?

The B3 is just so weird, keyboards-wise, I'm not sure how many people really appreciate what it takes to make on create music the way greats like joey do/did

Yeah, I've never played a B3 before -- looks kind of complex!

GREAT! inside after workingout back- warm here

Just the leslie speakers alone boggles my mind

Hi RWAL and RDA. It looks like I missed an ornithological track

Hi there Rob!

I'm bummed to hear about DeFrancesco's death.

RMD, welcome! Yes, you did! My tribute to Joey DeFrancesco kicks off the first 3 songs today.

RDA, I think those Leslie speakers rotate around to create a "warbly" effect

https://www.npr.org/2022/08/26/1119560655/joey-defrancesco-driving-force-on-the-hammond-organ-dies-at-51

Warbling is good ;-)

Wal, we got the stickers on Thursday! Thanks so much for printing them up!

RMD: You're welcome! Glad you like them.

I was very surprised at the number of requests for stickers. It's great. I'm about halfway done with the batch now.

I think the leslie 122s and 145,47s were the main ones; intense.

LOVE the stickers; one on my phone, on on my production desktop- thank you!!

RDA: That's great! Glad you like them, too!!

I might make a new batch for my 25th anniversary month in Dec.

I got winded reading 155 bpm note though- wheew!!

Hahaha! Oh yeah, 155 BPM is about the slowest I usually play.

I forgot to send for mine, I'm so ashamed

It's OK, JF, you still have a chance!! Welcome in!

thats a dive bomb JF>SA

Ahh, cool August... can hardly wait for hot September, HA! Hi Wal and Rinda and Robb 'n Rob 'n Rob 'n...

The last two weeks of August are HOT!

Yeah, it'll heat up in Sept. Always does. Get ready, folks!!

Good eye Rinda, it's an A-36

JF, are you a pilot?

In my heart and mind!

I wish I could fly, too. Would be an awesome experience!

Flying is expensive!

So I've heard!

We gett'n Dizzy!

(Which is one reason why I've never tried to learn to fly.)

Hi RJF!

Oh yes, I love this Big 4 album. ALL amazing players on 1 session!

A big wing flap back to ya Rob!

Maybe if I get a raise here at KSPC, I'll be able to afford my own plane...?

It's hot out here too. We're having mid-July temps and humidity in late August ... which happens a fair amount, I wouldn't say it's unusual.

RMD, what kinds of humidity levels are you experiencing?

The difference between mid-July and late August average temperatures is maybe 5 degrees, but there's a little more variability in late August than in mid-July (which is when we have our peak temperatures).

I think you should get a 100 percentraise DJ

I'll write you a note

RMD: Must make for some un-comfy birding expeditions...?

RDA: Thank you! I think 100% of zero is still zero, though...?

One year we had a low pressure system just off the mid-Atlantic coast bringing clouds, rain, and breezes off the ocean, so the highs were in the mid 70s iirc rather than the mid 80s.

It's not the money, its the principle of the thing

Rob, does your pocket weather meter give you accurate temp and humidity readings?

RDA: Can I buy an airplane with principle?

Ditto Rinda!

...But I appreciate the support, nonetheless!

Hold on to that dream Wal!!!

RJF, I will. Let's hope the dream doesn't end up a nightmare!

YES! You CAN buy a plane with principle PLUS LOTS of interest!

RDA, haha! Wrong principle/principal!!

Wal, this hour it looks like relative humidity is in the 60s percent, translating to a dew point of low to mid 70s, which is humid and unpleasant. The air temps are low and mid 80s. Inside we have the a/c set to 80, which is fine with the lower humidity inside

Maybe if I was a high school principal, I could buy a plane...?

LOL!!!

YES! They make lots of money!!

RMD, yeah, that seems fairly sticky!

I taught high school for a very short period of time many years ago. Glad to have the experience but unlikely I'd be teaching high school again.

OK_ break time is over for me- listening old school outdoors- thanks DJ, JF>SA and Rob! Hope to see you ALL tomorrow in Claremont !!

As I may have said last week, air temps of 90 with typical summertime humidity/dew points, in the full sun, in a low-breeze salt marsh (think mosquitos!) situation, can be f*cking unpleasant. Sometimes the birds I see don't make up for the weather awfulness

Take care, RDA! Have a nice time at the concert tomorrow!!

Stay cool Rinfa!

Wal, you totally deserve a 200% raise!

RMD, thank you very much, I'll see if my accountant can make something happen with 200% of zero. Hahaha!

JF, yes, my Kestrel weather meter gives accurate temperature and humidity readings. It can take 5 or 10 minutes to equilibrate, if I take it out of my 115 degree car to get the actual air temperature & humidity.

Bye Rinda!

You a dang rhym'n fool Wal!

Wal, speaking of jazz concerts, didn't you have a gig yesterday somewhere?

RMD: Yes! I played here in Claremont. I saw/met RB! Had a great time.

RJF: I only rhyme when I have the time (or am cooking with thyme).

Wal, I am happy/you saw RB

RMD, I'll let you know the next time I play in MD!

https://twitter.com/kspc/status/1560688192025657350?cxt=HHwWjICwrYnp1qgrAAAA

Is he using a "harmonizer"?

RJF: I think he is overdubbing his trumpet tracks

OK, makes sense!

Ooh, I hope you can play in Maryland! Especially if you aren't crammed in a windowless van with no a/c

Hahaha! RMD, I certainly remember those days of bad van travels, but alas, I have no gigs booked in MD at the moment!

Thanks for another afternoon of great Jazz Wal, catch ya next time Rob and Rinda!

Thanks RJF! Take it easy in the pilot's seat, there. Have a nice weekend!

Wal, if you come to MD on business maybe we can get together

RMD, yes, I anticipate being in MD sometime in late spring or early summer. Will let you know!!

Thanks for the jazz, Wal. Have a nice week Wal, JF, and Rinda!

Yes, please let me know!

Thanks very much, RMD!! Take caer.
