[WritingIsMyReligion]

1. Prog! And fellow jazzers! Hullo all!

You must think I'm wicked boring, because I just keep requesting Ellington..... But how about his "Mood Indigo," the longer, the better??

Thanks in advance!

:hi::hi:

[progmom]

6. ellington is never boring!

it would be my pleasure! :hug:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. All right!

I've been listening to Masterpieces by Ellington all week, and the "Mood Indigo" cut there is supreme.....but it clocks in at 15:26, so obviously it's unusable for radio play.

:D

:hug:

[immoderate]

15. There is an obscure collaboration...

of Ellington and Rosemary Clooney! That has one of the best Mood Indigo's that I've come across. I think it was originally called "Rose In Blue" but I bet progmom would know more about it.

Too much Ellington?:spray: :rofl:

How's it goin' WIMR?

--IMM

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. I know, I know...

You can't have too much of the Duke....

:D :D

That collaboration sounds interesting.... :D :rofl:

I'm doing well, quite well, IMM.... Haven't been able to tune into prog the past couple a' weeks, but I'm here now...

How're things on your end??

WIMR

[immoderate]

21. I always feel good when we're all here together!

Duke and Hawk -- progmom found a good one!

Yeah, I can't always be here on a Saturday, but progmom makes staying home feel better.

--IMM

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. Sure does...

And this is an EXCELLENT cut, prog.....

:loveya::loveya:

We've got ourselves a little clique, almost, here on Saturdays....The DU jazzers.

:D :D

:bounce:

[progmom]

28. oh, i have that at home

:D

i can take rosemary in small doses. she's got a fine voice, but it's not one of my favorites. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

29. Shoulda known prog would've had it!

:D ;)

[immoderate]

45. Somehow, I knew it.

--IMM

[WritingIsMyReligion]

46. Yeah, somehow...

;)

[immoderate]

42. Kind of agree. But she really stepped out on that album.

You can skip the "Mambo Italiano" and "C'mona My House.":rofl:

--IMM

[Ptah]

2. I'd like to hear some Duke Ellington.

Thanks.

:hi:

[progmom]

7. with pleasure!

[Ptah]

24. Thanks

[WritingIsMyReligion]

[WritingIsMyReligion]

:loveya:

:thumbsup:

[billyskank]

3. Hey progmom!!!

:hi:

:hug:

A few months ago you played Driftin' for me by Herbie Hancock (I think it's on "Takin' Off") but you had to fade it out for time. Would you play it again for me?

[progmom]

8. heck yeah!

:hug: nice to see you today, R.! :loveya:

[billyskank]

13. Likewise

:hug:

:loveya: too.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

51. Hey, billy, got a personalized request!

;)

[billyskank]

56. Jessica is such a sweetie

:D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

59. We noticed.

:D :D

[arwalden]

4. When Was The Last Time You Played Something By Wynton Marsalis?

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Oooh, I can second that request....

;) ;)

[progmom]

9. excellent idea!

have you seen his iTunes commercial?

:loveya:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

12. I have, anyway....

It's a great spot ;) :D

:loveya:

[arwalden]

14. Yeah... I've Seen It. -- Looks Like They Had A Good Time Making It...

... those silhouette commercials are pretty cool.

[immoderate]

5. Hi progmom!

Hope all goes well with you.:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Last time I requested Rahsaan "Take Me Girl I'm Ready" which we didn't get to. Still seems good to me. Or any other cut by him. I like "Domino" too.

--IMM

[progmom]

10. i would love to play some Kirk for you today!!

:loveya:

[immoderate]

17. Many have said it...

but you rock darlin'!:yourock:

--IMM

[progmom]

90. you're sweet

and dammit...i forgot your kirk. x(

i am so sorry.

[immoderate]

95. Put 'em on the "to do" list.

As I've said before, that means more stuff which I haven't heard, and that's good too. I like the surprises.

--IMM

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. YES! YES!

Woooooooooooo!

"Mood Indigo"!

!!!

Sorry, I'm just WAY hyped up today....I think I need to go outside after the show. ;)

:yourock:, prog!

[arwalden]

19. When You're Playing A Set Of Several Songs...

... do you have to manually start each new track when the previous one completes? Ore is there some high-tech way that you cue them up so that each track will start to play automatically whent he previous one ends?

[progmom]

33. it's all manual

and the *&$&% computer is across the hall from the studio, so i am always running back and forth. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

35. Wow! That's amazing that you can do that!

But you ought to suggest that the PC ends up closer to the studio ;) ;)

[arwalden]

36. Two Words: WIRELESS NETWORKING

Surely EMU would spring for a laptop with a wireless network capability.

[arwalden]

44. I Can Just See You...

Scurrying around to the shelves to find some request that wasn't on your playlist already... checking the countdown timer to see how much time is left on the current track... sipping some coffee... darting across the hall to see if anyone typed anything... running back to the booth to start the next track... shooting back to the computer to type a reply or two... answering the phone... nervously watching the timer again... OH NO!! TOO MUCH COFFEE... now she needs to go to the restroom... and there's only 60 seconds left on this track. NOW WHAT??

[WritingIsMyReligion]

48. ....

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

*wipes tears of laughter from eyes*

Cheers, arwalden.

:toast:

[progmom]

58. are you spying on me?

[Misunderestimator]

66. Hey!

Have you visited her there? 'Cause that sounds exactly like what she does! :rofl:

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. Stop! Look! and Listen! Sinner Jim Whitney

I'm in a Mingus mood today.

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. And some Pharoah. I'm thinking "The Creator Has a Master Plan"

Or, if you need something 10 minutes shorter, "Summun Bukmun Umyun."

[progmom]

34. peace and happiness throughout the land

i love that.

[Magrittes Pipe]

38. And the Quintet doing "A Night in Tunisia" from Massey Hall.

[Magrittes Pipe]

53. Woo-hoo! Ripple and Kraft pasteurized processed American slices!

26. Got any Gong?

I'd love to hear some Gong.

[progmom]

39. Peasant.

[progmom]

64. snob

:P

[immoderate]

37. Can you find a "Pensativa"?

I think Freddie Hubbard did a good one, but the original Clare Fisher would be nice too.

--IMM

[arwalden]

40. Who Do You Prefer? Danny Wright or Jim Brickman?

(Assuming that you like either of them at all.)

[immoderate]

52. Who are they?

I am mostly unfamiliar with the new guys.

--IMM

[progmom]

60. i don't know that i have ever actually heard danny wright

but my friend Brian has hung out with Brickman and says he is a really great guy. :D

[arwalden]

47. Do You EVER Play Anything On Vinyl?

Or is it all on CD?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

49. You're just hyped up on questions, ain't you?

:D

[progmom]

55. Oh I definitely do

It's easier to cue up the CDs, but there is a ton of vinyl up here and I tend to play a few records every week. - especially the big band stuff which isn't represented as well on CD here.

[billyskank]

50. Thanks progmom!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:loveya:

[progmom]

63. anytime!!

:loveya:

[arwalden]

61. Men Men Men Men, Manly Men??? It's The "Two-And-A-Half-Men" Theme Song!!

I love that show!

[progmom]

62. apparently this is the guy who wrote the theme

:D

[arwalden]

67. Grant Geissman (Say That!)... Just Added To My Amazon Shopping Cart...

[progmom]

68. and this is wynton now

[arwalden]

71. PICS: Wynton Sillouettes From The IPOD Commercial

[progmom]

78. very cool!

:thumbsup:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

65. Okay, y'all, I gotta split...

Ice skating soon, I just found out....AND I'm not even dressed yet.... *hangs head in shame*

Have to get dressed, grab lunch, and then see if the rink is open..... But this was fun!

See y'all again next week, I hope---and thank you again, prog, for a great show!

:toast:

:hi::hi:

[progmom]

69. thanks for hanging out!

[ralps]

73. Hi Progmom, What was that cool song that just finished playing at 12:15?

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[progmom]

74. ralps!!!!!

it was wynton marsalis "recessional" from "in this house on this morning"

the whole record is great!


and how are you?

[ralps]

76. I'm doing good, How are you? I just bought that song. Since iTunes

only has a partial album could you recommend a few other songs off that album? Thanks :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[progmom]

88. i'm great

damn...well that is my favorite song on the record, but lemme think...

Call To Prayer and Uptempo Posthude are also great.

[ralps]

96. Thanks Progmom

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[immoderate]

75. Hey ralps!

How goes?

--IMM

[ralps]

77. Hi IMModerate, it's going good, How are you?

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[immoderate]

80. I'm good. We do a lot of radio time together. LOL.

:pals:

--IMM

[immoderate]

79. A "Pensativa" I sure haven't heard.

Thanks progmom. Can't wait to find out who that is.

--IMM

[progmom]

81. marian mcpartland

:D

thought i would try to surprise you :D

[immoderate]

85. Love when you do that!

Joe Morello is always a bonus.

I thought Charlie Rouse too, but he sounded Rollin-ish on that as well. Not "tootie" like he usually is, but a little "honky" like Sonny. (I don't mean that kind of "honky." heh heh)

--IMM

[progmom]

89. do you have charlie rouse album "unsung hero"?

i LOVE it. :D

[immoderate]

93. No. I had "Cinamon Flower" on vinyl...

until I sold my record collection. (Too much to lug around when I was moving.) Lots of Charlie with Monk though. He was a perfect deputy for Thelonious.

I'll look out for it though.

--IMM

[immoderate]

82. Newk on sax?

With Monk.

--IMM

[billyskank]

83. Thanks for another great show!

:hug:

[progmom]

86. thanks for hanging out!

:hug:

[bif]

84. Blackbird by Brad Meldau

If you're still on the air.

[progmom]

87. awww...

i just ended
sorry. that's a great request though!

[bif]

91. I'll try and catch your show next weekend

What time are you on? EMU comes in pretty clear on the weekend. I'm on the east side of Detroit.

[Misunderestimator]

92. 12 - 2 Eastern

[bif]

94. Is that a pun?

Eastern?

[Misunderestimator]

97. Pun?

Sorry... did I say that incorrectly? Eastern time. Eastern Standard Time, is that better? :shrug:
