Lazaro Vega Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Neil Tesser really takes the LCJO version of "A Love Supreme" to task.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 This is a fun show. I enjoyed the blindfold test on 60s organists, although I must say... I got all of them right after hearing maybe 2 seconds of each tune. But I'm a freak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) Have not heard the show but gotta say I find it sad Tesser has to put up with Ruffin's crap - not that Neil's a genius but he's a reasonably bright guy with good instincts. He must be hoping for an Ebert and _____ kind of thing. Ruffin is a fool. Edit to say: Tesser is a REALLY bright guy who lets his mouth get ahead of his thoughts at times. I wish he was "more thoughtful". Edited February 18, 2005 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaro Vega Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I guess Ruffin is there to provide a "smooth jazz" or "fusion" perspective and that, ultimately, is forced. We've been broadcasting this Sunday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. since the start of the year. Public Radio International blew it with the local stations -- they wouldn't let us buy anything a la carte -- so Minnesota Public Radio pulled out of the deal, taking "A Prarie Home Companion" with them. Well, not only that, but many fine classical programs. So we had to ditch Jim Wilke's "Jazz After Hours" and "Riverwalk" (on the jazz side of things) and picked up "Listen Here," "Jazz Profiles" and for the overnights "Jazz with Bob Parlocha." Wilke is far better, especially as his program is live, but the expense is just way too much for overnight jazz. p.s. You ARE a freeyake!
