Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from February 11, 2023 Favoriting

Dave Sewelson's avatar View Dave Sewelson's profile Favoriting

Charles Mingus said jazz was a word invented to separate musicians from their money. Music for a Free World brings us together, drawing listeners to the healing power of smooth free jazz. Each week, surprise guests bring their own sides to spin and their instruments of choice to spontaneously jam.

Shoutout to Steve and thank you for keeping ESP alive. I was lucky to know Stollman, and someone had to take the helm to keep this pioneering label alive.

I like bass clarinet too.
  2:56pm
Dean:

I played bass clarinet briefly, during eighth grade. I was clarinet and tenor sax in seventh grade. By eighth the former bass clarinet had graduated, and I was asked to take over. The instrument was taller than me, or at least that's how it felt to me.

Do I understand correctly that Steve has set Finnegans Wake to music? Or something of the sort?
