AT&T video webcast of Jazz Fest!!!

Wow, Check out this lineup for the AT&T webcast of Jazz Fest:

Saturday, May 2nd:
12:45 PM Sonny Landreth! - should be excellent (Was good but too short, only 3 songs.)
1:00 PM BeauSoleil!! - should be double excellent! (Wasn't as good as I was hoping.)
1:40 PM Spoon - eh (1 nice song at the beginning)
2:50 PM Joe Cocker - eh (Mike Finnegan on organ!)
3:05 PM Professor Longhair (Classic)!!! - This will be the hit of the fest for me! (although now I see it is only a 5 min clip. Still...) (Was nice to see it but wish they had a clip from the fest...)
3:10 PM Dr. John! - should be good (Was!)

And after Dr John (and after the Professor Longhair clip from a 1974 PBS show), they showed Zachary Richard! 3 songs!!! Thank you!

4:15 PM Sugarland - don't know them and I suspect I won't
like them. Country? (This didn't air thank goodness)
4:30 PM Ben Harper and Relentless7 - eh
6:00 PM Dave Matthews Band - not a Dave Matthews fan

Sunday, May 3rd:
12:45 PM Troy Andrews - could be good (Was!)
1:00 PM Allen Toussaint - should be good (Was!)
2:10 PM Papa Grows Funk - should be good (Didn't air which was too bad.)
2:30 PM Better Than Ezra - should be good
3:15 PM Irma Thomas! - should be good (Was!)
3:35 PM Jimmy Buffett (2006) - eh (Not worth watching)
3:40 PM Sting (2000) - a waste of time. I won't be watching this.
3:45 PM Bonnie Raitt - should be good (Was!)
4:00 PM James Taylor - not someone I want to see at Jazz Fest

Some of these segments are not long, Professor Longhair may only be 5 minutes, but at least one will be perfect: Beausoleil for 45 min!

Thank you, AT&T.

Now, at some point after this I will dumping your phone service but thanks for this! (5/14/09 I have dumped AT&T phone service. I feel so much better!)

Jazz Fest on WWOZ, Fri May 1

I return to listening after a week in the hospital. Nice to see the
schedule updated with such good info! (The date the reruns were
recorded? Wonderful!)

I don't think there is much worth listening to today but I will anyway.

Dave and Lisa on now.

(I go away for awhile)

I return to listening at 3:42 NY time. Horn is out of the mix.

Lisa IDs Walter Payton. "Musical gen (pronounced correctly)-rays"?

Listening to the Leroy Jones & the Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band
Alumni Tribute to Danny Barker (recorded Friday, April 24, 4:20 -
5:25 p.m.). It has an old New Orleans trad/Dixieland sound to it. Too
many instruments but a nice feel. Sax is out of the mix. Will it get
fixed? Nope. Otherwise the mix is good. We can hear all the
instruments. Feedback but better sound after it.

Listening to the band intro, I'm hearing some kind of weird print
through-like effect. I'm hearing a little bit of the content BEFORE
it sounds as the main sound, a sort of pre-echo effect. Very weird
since I don't think they are using tape, are they??? This is a
digital problem??? Too bad. OZ really has problems. Maybe they're
feeding the preview on the air too? (And the preview is a couple of
seconds ahead of the program feed.)

They play one, two songs then the guy intros the band then OZ stops it. Great.

Oh, and now they come back. OK.

The lineup is a pretty impressive cast. You don't hear too many large
Dixieland bands...

Hear the horn intro several seconds before it plays loudly. That weird effect.

Stream dies but reconnects, a few times. 5 pm NY time.

5:21 NY time (Vaucresson Sausage segment) Oh, we're hearing ALL
program with this weird effect. Nice, OZ. Do they listen to the
stream? I guess not. So we'll be listening to two things at once.
Yeah, OZ.

(Also hearing live DJs ahead of when they actually say it at proper
level. So it's all program content.)

Soulive interview on early. Schedule says 5:20 - 5:50 p.m. NO time.
It's 6:15 NY time. The interview only lasts a few minutes so that
must not be it. (It is...)

I'm guessing there is about a 10 second advance between the preview
audio and main program.

P-Funk!! (I remember going to party at college where the feature was
that album and others from Parliament, put on by the black student's
association. I was the only white guy there. I had loved the music up
north but no one warmed up to me so I didn't ignore the unspoken
racial lines after that.)

I was going to write in to let them know about this double feed but
it seems to be fixed now! (Took them long enough.)

(just before 7 pm NY time) This klezmer/world music piece is great.
I'd love to dance/see some good dancing to it! Oncabob?

Now the double feed is back. I write to them. I also stop listening
since they are playing the Poncho Sanchez Latin Jazz Band and I have
absolutely no interest in latin jazz.

Tomorrow, I'll probably watching the AT&T VIDEO feed more than
listening to WWOZ.
