WELCOME TO THE BEANSTALK!

THANK YOU

Nothin like listening to WPRB while wearing a WPRB phrog shirt

Welcome!

BEANSTALKING! loving these big band tracks. Grooving baby! Groovin!

Hi DJ Gigantor! :)

Thanks Guelo! Kenton and Evans are both masterful arrangers, especially in the density of their horn voicings

Hello Noshow, apologies for not having a show next week

*last week

I'll try and forgive! I did see a clip of you playing at smalls though! Looked awesome grats :)

Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, and Wayne Shorter on horns here!

Yep, Smalls was a trippp. I was terrified the whole time, as someone may have told you

I might have heard that, but it didn't look like it at all! Maybe one day I'll be able to witness it live :)

Smalls! congrats. Recognize this voice anywhere...

Thank you! (it was only the jam!) but I had a blast, and yes, bobby's voice is iconic

which instrument?

Piano!

( ´ ▽ ` )b

Herbie Herbie ! Double it up. This period is so good. Grooves a mile wide and more

The Birelli Lagrene Track is also a herbie hancock tune

Do you have any public playlists I could follow?

All my playlists are on the PRB website if you look for my Show!

Thanks :)

How are we feeling?

Studying for my exam :/ but with some nice music

Wonderful

Nice overlap there.

Thank you!

Sofia says Hii!

Hi Sofia

lifechanging

Hail, Gigantor! 🌱🌱🌱

Thanks Jimbeaux!

This is beautiful...

It is really relaxing :)

A tribute to Chick Corea, who passed away in February of this year...

La Fiesta is an incredible song

That Spotted Lantern Fly PSA needs to be updated. The number and website are for Pennsylvania. Although they will kindly give you an equivalent number for New Jersey. 𓆦𓆦𓆦𓆦𓆦𓆦

I see! will tell the Program Director

before your set is up, DJ Gigantor, I wanted to say I really dug your show.

Really great show! Thanks for the nice entertainment! :)

I agree. Finally it's on when I am awake.

Thanks Shane! And everyone else in chat today
