about that but it's pronounced Tim Lizzy because they're Irish the song The Rocker I get my rackles from the rock and stole that's about them you know I'm a rocker but the only thing was when the radiogram went the jukebox was great but I only played singles on the radiogram Malcolm had this most fantastic jazz album that I've actually re-bought I think it's one of my best favourite albums it's called it's the soundtrack for a beatnik movie from the 60s called Les Liaisons Dangereuses and it's by Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers and that sounded pretty cool on the radiogram but you couldn't play that on the jukebox because it's an LP and they don't fit they don't go down that little hole but But thinking, and you mentioned the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, or we was talking about that earlier on.
Glen MatlockGUEST
I went to Cleveland, I don't know, about 20 years ago and got a guided tour around it.
Glen MatlockGUEST
And the best thing I saw was this glorified radiogram, which was about 20 feet long.
Glenn MatlockGUEST
It's called, it's the soundtrack for a beatnik movie from the 60s called Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
Glenn MatlockGUEST
And it's by Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers.
Glenn MatlockGUEST
And that sounded pretty cool on the radiogram.
Glenn MatlockGUEST
But you couldn't play that on the jukebox because it's an LP and they don't fit.

Lisa SahulkaHOST
It's called Confirmation.
Lisa SahulkaHOST
And then from Art Blakey, Pannonica eventually moved to Weehawken, New Jersey.
Lisa SahulkaHOST
And this tune is for her.
Jake BrennanHOST
I'm aware that you don't have much love for Eric Clapton, but the band's brief run is undeniable, and Ginger Baker is/was an absolute maniac and a true master at playing the drums.
Jake BrennanHOST
Guy had the respect of jazz legends like Art Blakey, Max Roach, and Elvin Jones.
Jake BrennanHOST
Not bad." You're absolutely right.
Jake BrennanHOST
Not gonna, I'm not gonna deny Cream, Cream's awesomeness.
Nick TippingGUEST
There was cool jazz, which is like Chet Baker, kind of refined and intellectual.
Nick TippingGUEST
And hard bop, on the other hand, people like Art Blakey, Horace Silver, kind of gospel-y, soul-y sounds.
Nick TippingGUEST
That led on to free jazz, where there's no rules at all.
Nick TippingGUEST
Like I said, there are, depends who you ask.
Ken SokolovGUEST
Yeah.
Ken SokolovGUEST
Like Art Blakey said, you know, they heard my band, they know how I play, so I'm not going to change the way we sound.

Aubrey DayleGUEST
That's it.
Aubrey DayleGUEST
That's what I got to do.
Aubrey DayleGUEST
I was also inspired by Art Blakey, you know, Art Blakey just creating the Jazz Messengers.
Aubrey DayleGUEST
No, he didn't write the music, but the idea of leading an ensemble like this is my artistic output, like a band.
Quentin WalstonGUEST
Holler, which kind of is a nod to the early field hollers that inspired early, early jazz.
Quentin WalstonGUEST
It says, like, Recommended Listening, Moaning by Art Blakey, Bobby Timmons, or Sassy by Wynton Kelly.
Quentin WalstonGUEST
The tune Oliver Blue is kind of saying, hey, check out this song, Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson or Witchcraft by Bill Evans.
Quentin WalstonGUEST
You'll get to hear this kind of true authentic jazz DNA in the piece that you're getting to learn.
