We're seeing triple on a new Geek Challenge featuring a duet of trios: first we've got John Landis' notorious flop Three Amigos from 1986, then Robert Altman's dreamy art film 3 Women from 1977. Paul and Arlo debate whether or not Three Amigos deserves its reputation, puzzle over the inscrutability of 3 Women, and compare the two films' respective turns into surrealism. Plus, Arlo's back in the Cage with a series of ‘90s action classics. NEXT: three, two, one…who knows?

We'll be sharing a Wake Up call with everyone out there…no…not election day. Although it's just around the corner. There's an alarm clock buzzing or ringing or chiming that is bent on a theme…that of ‘waking up'. That's our theme in the show todays as we excavate the mines of rich Americana ore from the past century, sharing songs whose thematic tone demands that our eyes open to the brighter days ahead. Dave has a boatload of sounds that include the rockabilly sounds of Mac Curtis and some country bop from Billy Briggs. That's not all…there's the brothers Everly, Merle Haggard, Les Paul & Mary Ford, Richard Thompson, Nat King Cole, Bob Dorough and a couple dozen others. Join Dave for a thematic romp on Deeper Roots this Friday morning on KOWS Community Radio.
This Episode also includes an E.W. Essay titled "Learjets" as well as an Uncle Cesare Essay titled "Bernie & Lil", and an excerpt from a piece by Wallace Stevens called "Extracts From Addresses To The Academy Of Fine Ideas."

Episode 81 - Three... It's a Magic NumberJuly 29, 2023 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallI grew up listening to School House Rock. I know that dates me a little… but I suspect with the internet and all… there are many in every generation that are familiar with songs like Interjections, I'm Just a Bill, and Conjunction Junction. These songs were formative during my development years. It was during those years that I also learned that the number three… well... there's something about that number that's magic. In today's episode we'll look into the significance of the number three, both culturally and biblically.Resources Referenced and/or Read:Hall, Gregory D.

It goes over multiplying by three. This song was the pilot episode of the whole Schoolhouse Rock! series. It features a magician, who goes over multiplying by three while many examples are provided. (A man and a woman having a baby –three in the family; heart, soul, body – three parts) The music and lyrics are by Bob Dorough, and it is also performed by him (with uncredited backing vocalists and a male singer). It first premiered on the pilot episode of "Curiosity Shop" on September 2, 1971. Two years later, when Schoolhouse Rock! premiered, the airdate was on January 6, 1973. (https://schoolhouserock.fandom.com/wiki/Three_Is_a_Magic_Number)Transition Music - produced by Jacob A. HallOutro - Hip-hop trio De La Soul interpolated the "Three is a Magic Number" song as "The Magic Number", which was included in their 1989 debut studio album, 3 Feet High and Rising. The track gained further exposure when it was featured in the 2021 superhero crossover film Spider-Man: No Way Home. Watch De La Soul's full video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxkOWjZAPLsOther Covers of the songBlind Melon made a cover of the song, which appeared in track 3 of Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks.The song was covered, with rewritten lyrics, by Greg Raposo, Matthew Ballinger, and Stevie Brock to promote Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers. Their cover appears on the original release of the film's soundtrack, while a music video appears on the film's original DVD release.The album version is slightly longer than the TV version, because it has an extra verse explaining the pattern of each set of ten containing three multiples of three. It was also used in the original 1971 broadcast in the form of a carnival duck shooting game. This scene was never rebroadcast or available on home media or streaming sites.Podcast Website:The All-America Listener Challenge Updates: https://rethinkingscripture.comMy Podcast Studio...

My question to you was: "What is the 1948 Congress of Europe meeting most known for?" The answer is, as Jan wrote: “… planting the seeds of what was to become the European Union.”The first Congress of Europe was organized by the International Committee of the Movements for European Unity, which after the Congress became the European Movement. It brought together 750 delegates from around Europe to discuss ideas about the development of European political cooperation.In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by Lutfor Rahaman Khan from Naogaon, Bangladesh: “What did you feel the first time you attended a marriage ceremony?”The winners are: RFI English listener Malik Muhammad Nawaz Khokhar, who's a member of the Sungat Radio Listeners Club in Muzaffargarh, Pakistan.

A native of eastern Pennsylvania, JD Walter's past, present, and future has always embodied music. From church Boy choirs at the age of six to the American Boy choir school in Princeton to the University of North Texas on a vocal jazz scholarship, Walter has become a pioneer of improvisation and electronic innovations in the world of jazz. His recording career spans 20 years and his purist progressive approach to jazz music has been recognized worldwide.

This show is being brought to you by www.gubbarum.com Jazz singer-songwriter Ori Dagan has attracted a dedicated and growing audience, both in his native Toronto and internationally. He brings a wry and agile sense of swing to everything he does, whether interpreting a standard, spinning a pop tune on its head or introducing his own original music and lyrics. His rich bass-baritone is unmistakable; his irreverent songcraft speaks to the lineage of Nat Cole novelty numbers and the impeccably swinging humor of the late Bob Dorough and Dave Frishberg. His scat singing has the natural, fluid, bop-inflected feel of the best in that idiom, inspired by heroines and heroes Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Anita O'Day and Sheila Jordan (with whom Dagan recorded a duet in 2017).

Digging it Right with You By Bob Dorough When I went to North Texas, I ran across a very good little jazz band, and I was dumbfounded because they were much more advanced than I was. They had an excellent clarinetist, a trombonist, and bass, drums, piano. They were more like Jack Teagarden's group than anything else. They knocked me out, of course, and every time they played I would dig them and try to pick up some ideas and tricks. That was the beginning of my jazz life. Teagarden was a great singer and a wonderful trombonist. I never heard him in person, but I heard these guys and it knocked me out. I liked that jazz combo. Teagarden did some duets with Louis Armstrong. He was a down-home singer. I discovered Thelonious Monk at North Texas. All the other students thought he was weird, but of course he was right. All along he was the right composer. He had off-the-wall melodies and what would look like a primitive kind of piano playing. It was so skilled, you didn't realize it until you listened carefully. At first, it was just a completely different style of playing the piano and writing the tunes. They made a superficial judgement that he was weird and laughed at me having ordered his records through Downbeat ads. I learned a lot about show business from Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole: they were really my big heroes. I learned that you needed to make contact with the audience: sing a song in such a way that they're completely wrapped up in it and hear every word. They let you do it your way and they're digging it right with you. To get the audience is a special knack that Louis had.

At age 26, Veronica Swift has become one of the worlds most sought-after jazz talents. Having grown up on the road with her parents -- jazz pianist Hod O'Brien and jazz vocalist Stephanie Nakasian -- she was exposed to some of the greatest musicians of the time, including; Annie Ross, Jon Hendricks, Bob Dorough, and Marilyn Maye. At age nine, Swift recorded her first album, "Veronica's House of Jazz," and began professionally touring with her parents, as well as singing and playing trumpet in the youth jazz group, "The Young Razzcals jazz project." With the Young Razzcals, she had her first opportunity to perform on festival stages, like the Telluride Jazz Festival, and would for the next ten years. At age 11, after recording her second album, "It's Great to be Alive," she headlined her first show at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. Swift continued touring throughout her years in College, obtaining a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Miami in 2016. Just before graduating, coinciding with the passing of her father, Swift was awarded second place at the Thelonious Monk 2015 Jazz Vocal Competition, landing her a showcase at the esteemed Birdland Jazz Club in New York City. She then moved to New York in 2017 to continue pursuing her growing career. Maintaining a weekly residency at Birdland, Veronica toured internationally and joined the lineup on the show of trumpeter Chris Botti. The past few years, she has toured and performed on numerous occasions with Michael Feinstein, Benny Green, Wynton Marsalis, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, appearing at legendary festivals (Montreal, Monterey, Umbria, Detroit, Marciac, and more) and jazz clubs (Birdland, Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Jazz Showcase, Jazz Standard, SF Jazz, JALC Shanghai, Blue Note, and more). In 2018, Veronica signed a deal with Mack Avenue Recordings, and released her 2019 album, "Confessions," with them.

Happy holidays everybody! It’s Markly, and I’m happy to bring you this little bonus piece in between seasons. Here’s what’s up: I had the idea to make a special mixtape of non-traditional Christmas music to share with the show’s Patreon supporters, with songs performed by artists who’ve been featured on Low Profile over the past few years. I figured out that almost half of the people who’ve been on this show had something I could include, like Amps For Christ, Nick Krgovich, Klaus Nomi, Bob Dorough, and Ashley Eriksson. Gary Wilson, Swamp Dogg and Heatwarmer all have entire albums of Christmas music recorded, too. Sut there was still one song in particular that I really wanted to put on this mix, called “Tis The Season of Excess,” a song that is nowhere to be found on the internet but I happen to own a copy of. The only problem with doing that, was that this artist was an outlier- the only one who had never been on the show before. So I reached out to Steve Hindalong, who along with Chris Colbert, recorded this song I’m talking about. I’d never talked to Steve before, and he hadn’t really even thought about this song in the past 25 years, so I sent him the track and then gave him a call so I could find out the story behind it. Before we hear the interview, I just thought I’d let you know that if you’re interested in hearing this mixtape, I’m giving it to every single one of my Patreon supporters this month. If you’d like to join them and be a part of the receiving end, visit patreon.com/lowprofile and sign up for a flexible monthly donation. Most folks give $2 a month, which helps with the cost of hosting lowprofilepodcast.com and the fees I pay to my podcast server. Now that you’ve got a little context, here’s my short interview with the award-winning producer and songwriter Steve Hindalong. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed doing it.
ESSRA MOHAWK Pt. 1 Show Notes Essra Mohawk has had a very long and storied career. To describe her music as eclectic is a gross understatement. Her songs run the gamut from pop to avant garden, and in between she covers a lot of bases including rock, folk, folk rock, motown, jazz, tv jingles, rhythm and blues, and beautiful, heartfelt ballads about love and lust. Born Sandra Elayne Hurvitz, her earlier influences were her parents, Anne and Henry. Through them she grew up listening to an eclectic list of artists such as Judy Garland, Nina Simone, The Coasters, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Thelonius Monk, Erik Satie, Billy Holiday, Otis Redding, The Beatles, The Stones, Ravi Shankar among others/ In 1964 she released a single as Jamie Carter titled “The Boy With the Way” which I personally think is a really cool song. It pronbably could have been a hit hat it received proper publicity and marketing. Essra sounded a little peeved talking about it. I don’t blame her, and it would turn out not to be the first time here career hit a snag or detour. Essra was also the first female member of the Mothers of Invention. In fact, she spent about a year in a relationship with Frank Zappa who thanks to band member Ray Collins suggestion for a rock star name, dubbed her, Uncle Meat. When I first met Uncle Meat, she was in Philly on hiatus, and I had no idea who Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention were at the time. I would shortly discover them through Philadelphia DJ Michael Tearson, and eventually make the connection. But, I was happy to finally talk to her again so I could tell her the story of my first Essra Mohawk encounter. At this point, I should probably apologize for hijacking the conversation, for which I was duly busted by Essra. As I mentioned, her career is multifaceted, so the Show Notes page at talesoftheroadwarriors-slash-Essra-Mohawk includes some Essra Mohawk Career Highlights, discography ands links to some of the songs we talked about in this conversation. In my conversation, BTW, I barely scratched the surface of her career, so this is really just a little slice of life in which I hopefully captured some of her essence and got a couple pretty good stories from her. Due to technical difficulties, I just couldn’t get good enough audio, so I’ll just tell you some things that were to garbled to include in the podcast. I did manage to capture a little about her “crazy courage” as a Philly girl, and her propensity to stick up for others against bullies - and her mom. The main story I was hoping to have her retell was how she was scheduled to be one of the performers at Woodstock, but her manager missed the turn, causing Essra to miss her debut on the most well known world stage of all time.

A year later Shadow Morton who produced both the Shangri-Las and Vanilla Fudge, discovered her and her music and in1966 the Shangri-La’s recorded Essra’s song “I’ll Never Learn” . Soon after that, her song, “The Spell That Comes After” was recorded by Vanilla Fudge on their “Renaissance” album. In 1967, Essra was discovered once again. This time by Frank Zappa who, after hearing her play was so blown away, he immediately invited her to join his band, The Mothers of Invention, thus making her their first female member. Within a year he signed her and released her first solo album on Verve. While performing with the Mothers, Essra also opened for Cream (their first time in New York), Procol Harum(Keith Reid’s lyrics to “Quite Rightly So” are about Essra), Albert King, Electric Flag, Grateful Dead (their first performance in N.Y.), and Jimi Hendrix. By 1969 Essra was recording her second album in L.A. and S.F. for Reprise after Mo Ostin (then Vice President) discovered her singing at a club in N.Y. and asked her on the spot to come to the label. The result was “Primordial Lovers”, an LP that received a 5 star review in Downbeat, raves in Mix, and was stated as being “one of the best 25 albums ever made” in Rolling Stone magazine. Unfortunately, these reviews came over a year after the release of the album and new fans found it hard to secure the LP due to poor distribution and the sale of the Reprise label following the release. Nevertheless, this critically acclaimed musical work continues to generate a cult following for Essra. In fall of 2000 it was released on CD by Rhino Handmade. She wrote most of the songs while living in Mendocino, California. While recording the album, Essra married her producer, Frazier Mohawk, and from that time on was known as Essra Mohawk. She also sang in a background vocal trio with Carole King. Essra’s third album, released in 1974 on Elektra/Asylum, once again without proper promotion or distribution, led England’s music magazine, Melody Maker, to declare it, “the richest and most unheralded event in American music” that year. After moving back to Philadelphia in the 70’s, Ms. Mohawk continued to sing as a session vocalist. She is especially known for singing on Schoolhouse Rock, the popular educational and musical cartoon series that continues to air on TV. Essra’s vocals are on “Interjections”, “Sufferin’ Till Suffrage”, and “Mother Necessity”. After ABC Video released the cartoons on video in the 90’s, they received an upsurge of popularity and the troupe, led by music director, Bob Dorough, began performing live in the mid-90’s. A new album on which Essra sang wrote and produced a track entitled “Do You Wanna Party” about political parties in the U.S. was released on Rhino in Sept. ‘98 on an album called “Schoolhouse Rocks the Vote”. Ms. Mohawk’s fourth album was released on Private Stock records in 1976. After the same lack of support that has kept Essra’s remarkable music in the shadows, she left the label and moved back to California in 1977. Paul Kantner wanted her to be the lead singer in Jefferson Starship after Grace Slick dropped out for a while but he couldn’t convince the rest of the band to use another female vocalist so they chose a male, Micky Thomas, instead. In 1980-82 Essra performed as a background vocalist with the Jerry Garcia Band. During the same period she co-wrote “Haze” with Bobby Weir and his band “Bobby and the Midnights” for their Atlantic release. Also, Essra has collaborated with Al Jarreau, Bonnie Bramlett, Mark McEntee of the DiVinyls, Eric Bazilian, Al Stewart and Narada Michael Walden. She sang and recorded with John Mellencamp. (He’d seek her out wherever she lived for her advice and encouragement.) Essra’s music and ideas inspired Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” (Essra was scheduled to play at the original Woodstock, but her manager missed a turn and they arrived too late. She finally played at the 25th Anniversary at Bethel.) ***David Crosby’s “Deja Vu” was inspired by Essra’s song “I Have Been Here Before”. David would ask her to play it for him whenever he saw her and then wrote “Deja Vu” as a result. In 1982, Essra moved back to Philadelphia from L.A. and was brought into the McFadden & Whitehead pre-production sessions. She conjured up “Not With Me” overnight for the duo and they released it on their Capitol album that year. Essra recorded two more solo albums in the 80’s. Both were released independently and both were produced by her, then, husband Daoud Shaw (Van Morrison’s drummer for many years and original drummer for Saturday Night Live). They first met during those early days on Bleeker St. in New York’s Greenwich Village, where she jammed vocally with jazz greats: Mike Manieri, the Brecker Bros., Eddie Gomez and Jeremy Steig. As a result her vocal style developed more along the lines of a wind instrument than that of a typical pop singer. Being in the Mothers then also helped to propel the youth to such a creative and original stance as a vocalist. Three of her early LPs were reissued on CDs in Japan in spring 2003, followed by her recent tours to California, the East Coast and Japan. Essra’s first album on CD “Raindance” which was released on Schoolkids Records in ‘95 was reissued on Evidence Feb., 2005. Her 1999 CD, “Essie Mae Hawk Meets the Killer Groove Band”, was remastered and reissued on Essra’s own label, MummyPump, in 2003. Essra’s been living in Nashville, TN since 1993 where she continues to write and record, playing her music on piano, mandolin and guitar. Keb’ Mo’, Steve Cropper and Bonnie Bramlett are among the stellar performers who joined Essra on her 2003 Evidence CD “You’re Not Alone”. Her songs were used on the CBS series Joan of Arcadia in 2004 and 2005. The book, “Hotel California” is one of many books about music that mentions Essra.
The Major Scale welcomes back one of our favorite contemporary talents: the incomparable Grace Kelly! A musical maverick who delights and entices with performances that range from flash mob parody, appearing on The Late Show with Stephan Colbert, or doing a live set for us at the Melrose Center in the Downtown Orlando Public Library. Kelly and company go full throttle with some soulful originals and dazzling interpretations of "Is You Is, or Is You Ain't My Baby" to "You Are My Sunshine.” Talking with Grace while we were setting up the session yielded some great conversation, this lady has serious roots with some of the legends she's mentored with– from Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, Bob Dorough, Dave Brubeck, and Clark Terry! The Major Scale has a lot of love for Mr. Terry, so we decided to pair her segment with some of his tremendous, yet undersung, gems. Turns out it's a natural fit, with their like-minded styles, sense of bravado and, best of all, humor. We'll hear Terry give a nod to the Civil Rights movement, an ear to the East and all things tinged Latin, that old time religion, and a shake or two of some funky boogaloo. This episode makes some serious joyful noises. ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between.

Mentre sta lavorando a That's The Way I Feel Now, il doppio Lp dedicato a Monk, Willner concepisce un terzo album-tributo, consacrato questa volta a Kurt Weill, il grande musicista tedesco collaboratore di Brecht, autore delle musiche dell'Opera da tre soldi, e che poi, in esilio dalla Germania nazista, aveva avuto una seconda vita artistica, non meno interessante, nel mondo della musica americana. Uscito nell'85, Lost in the Stars ha il suo punto di forza in un assortimento di nomi di prestigio veramente eccezionale, ma rimane al di sotto della creatività degli album dedicati a Rota e a Monk con riletture delle musiche di Weill mediamente non altrettanto originali. Fra i protagonisti dell'album ascoltiamo Sting (nella ballata di Mackie Messer), Bruce Fowler, Stan Ridgway, Henry Threadgill (con Lester Bowie), Richard Butler, Bob Dorough, John Zorn, Van Dyke Parks, Lou Reed (in September Song), Carla Bley (con Phil Woods in Lost in the Stars), Tom Waits, Elliott Sharp, Dagmar Krause, Charlie Haden (in Speak Low).
The Major Scale gets into a sentimental mood as we weave together the melodic with a sense of the melancholic, looking back at the legacies of a trio of musical greats. The wild and dark life of Chet Baker gets some reflection as we ponder his music and his mysterious demise that happened one fateful night over 30 years ago in Amsterdam. Next is Grady Tate, prolific drummer and an elegant soul singer. Countless are his sessions, eternal is his talent, and immortal the music he left us. Lastly is Bob Dorough, one of the most idiosyncratic voices to grace the field of music – be it with his own work, with Miles Davis, interpreting Charlie Parker, or making School House Rock.
Bob Dorough dies at age 94. Remembering "School House Rock - The Preamble."

You're about to meet a very special guy. There's a good chance you already know him, if you were in the generational cohort whose lives were enriched by Schoolhouse Rock. More than any other person, Bob Dorough put his unique musical stamp on that show and its offerings. But Bob Dorough is so much more.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
