Hi John,
Thanks for those links. It has been far too long since I've listened to Jimmie Noone's "I Know What You Know", it's one of my favorite Noone tunes! The link for John Kirby was a new one for me - thanks for sharing it! ...and your third link reminds me that I need to listen to more Omer.
As per radio programs...I agree. There are a lot of good programs on "once a week" - but the chances of me being able to give priority to any one of them during that one or two hour time window each week is pretty small. The archive makes all the difference in the world.
While WWOZ has had their audio archive working for quite a while now, the playlist (listing of song titles/albums) hasn't been available for archived shows. When I contacted WWOZ to ask them about this, they provided me the following link in which to obtain the playlist for archived shows: https://spinitron.com/radio/playlist.php?station=wwoz. They said that they are working on making the playlist available from WWOZ's website in the future.
Everyone:
The other day, drummer extraordinaire, Hal Smith, posted just about the greatest compliment I've ever seen posted...and it was about a specific performance at the Bix fest by Jonathan Doyle. While I don't have that performance...for those who haven't had the pleasure of hearing Jonathan before...I submit https://tubaskinny.bandcamp.com/album/pyramid-strut I recommend listening to "Big Chief Battle Axe" - but the well-thought-out, but technically simplistic wailing during his solo on Mean Blue Spirits is a favorite of mine too - fits the song so well!
Cheers! (And I see that Seabreeze just posted a link for Noone - on my way to watch that now!)
Fuzzy
[edit] Actually - on the Tuba Skinny link - #2 "Lonesome Drag" shows Jonathan pretty well at the 1:30 mark too.
