This edition of Notes From The Jazz Underground was culled from the June 10th broadcast. a show that host Paul Abella describes as "an exceedingly odd duck."
Why? First off, it was recorded in the middle of the night, and the late night musical gremlins definitely make an appearance.
Second, there are a couple of stream of consciousness sequences here that are just flat out strange, even by Paul's standards.
Abella had emceed the Deacon Blues show at Franklin Park's Railroad Days the night piror, prompting thoughts about jazz versions of Steely Dan tunes. Naturally, that led to thinking about how the intro to Metallica's "Sanitarium" is reminscent of Steely Dan's "Josie".
Which (of course?) led to the Rodrigo y Gabriela arrangement of "One" and "Take Five". The whole show basically follows those kinds of rabbit -- or should we say, duck -- holes.
Check out the full playlist (we subsituted the Fareed Haque tune which does not appar to be online), and some additional tracks below.
