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.

↳ Song: "Dithyramb, Sodomy, Salt" by "Brandon Lopez Trio"
The track title reminds me of the first time my mother took me to a record store in a sleepy conservative town. My pick was The Pogues "Rum Sodomy & the Lash", to everyone's embarrassment. Still a fave record though

You should clarify which Kenny G you're talking about, the WFMU one or the bad one; or not.

I have a funny Kenny G (sax player) story. When I was driving a cab (25 yrs ago) I picked up DEWEY REDMAN by the old Knitting Factory, drove him home to Bklyn (the music capital). We had a nice chat about music stuff. Told him I love his playing on that Ornette album Love Call (I think thats the one) and he said he was scared shitless being kinda young and playing w Ornette!!!! At one point I asked about Kenny G and he said "well, he plays in tune"

@Brandon: What do you think about contemporary music for bass? I know a composer who's into that, but I'd like an opinion from the other side

absolutely true about individualism being a "friend of the state".
that's why piece of shit reagan emphasized selfishness in the population.
pit the people against each-other so they're not a strong force against the real enemy.
same with the racism that's imposed upon the people.
