  1. No. Many AM channels usually cut down there power after sunset. The ones you could hear from a distance were usually so-called "clear channel" the ones that kept their power up after the lower powered stations either signed of or cut way back. From Chicago, the only AM station I could get in Texas was WLS, which at the time was a powerhouse Top 40 station. In 1967-68, that was a very good thing to be able to hear. But no jazz. That Iowa thing I got, not sure what that was about, because it would fade in for a while, play strong for a bit, fade out, stay gone for a while, then fade back in. AM was a quirky beast. Quirky but fun!
  2. The Brian Eno Pandora station is perfect for wake-nullification. It's not just Eno, but it's all "that type of thing". But for the other side of Eno, you can get a "Here Come The Warm Jets" station and there THAT is.
  3. No, but you can go to a bakery thrift shop and buy "day old" bread and other items at a much better price than at the supermarket. It's like the cutouts of bread.
  4. Yeah. Tyler's KZEY had a Sunday afternoon jazz show, as did the late, great Soul 73 in Dallas, hosted by Roger Boykin. Commercial AM jazz was a thing for a good while in the DFW area, we had a full-time station for a good while from the late 70s thru the early 80s. As a kid, I would pick up AM Jazz out of somewhere in Iowa, on Sunday nights. Other than the Iowa thing, these were all stations whose listening demographic was primarily African-American. I couldn't get the Iowa station during the day, so I don't know. But their commercial spots seemed pretty much Anglo-American in focus. But the music was definitely not, at least the jazz. The ethnic make-up of the different jazz programmings (AM and FM) were/are interesting. The Anglos played one thing, The Nubiains another. Very, VERY little crossover. You could hear both Julie London and Nancy Wilson, if you know what I mean, just not on the same shows.
  5. There's a line between too much and just right, and it fascinates me how nobody here seems to care on which side they're on at any given time. Suffice it to say that when the trifecta of Hampton/Sebesky/Maiden got busy on both sides of the paper, a bit more attention to that got paid and that's why the Roulette set (and the Cameo & Mainstream records that followed). But this one here in not unlistenable at all, far from it. It's just a bit...splattery in terms of dynamics. Some good soloing, too!
  6. I put it on whatever Pandora channel I'm into at the time and leave it on. Sometimes I remember to set the TV timer to go off, but usually it just stays on until Brenda gets up to go pee, at which point she shuts if off. But I don't much like falling asleep in silence, no sir, I don't much like it.
  7. Never have watched that. I know a lot of people who have, though.
  8. I don't regret liking it, though. I mean, I seldom do, but as a one-off, it's nothing like Destry Rides Again. That one, I regret being curious enough about to finally pay for.
  9. That was a really good record too.
  10. Second for "Mickey One", especially within the film, which is really great, imo.
  11. It's a pretty easy double, really, at least going from piano to vibes.
  12. Off the grid and onto the thumb drives!
  13. We're good here for basics/essentials.
  14. And those duets with Bob James!!!
  15. I'm not especially optimistic about the availabilty of free (as in ability) streaming to access all this stuff in the future. any number of ways it can be clamped down and/or shut off. Am I paranoid? Yeah. But I don't trust the future, not too much at all. Looks kinda dark to me, eventually.
  16. Oh man, those records were GREAT!
  17. Until they won't be able to...
  18. I heard no Marsalis? Claytons, maybe?
  19. Joe and Phil?
  20. Billy Wilkins - Our Son the Drone
  21. http://deepersoul.blogspot.com/ https://ssradio.com/ Very mainstream, but totally in line with the type of tracks you've posted as likes.
