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.

Tomeka, deeply respect what you have with the Chicago Jazz Strings Summit and shining the light on so many great performers but hope in the not too far future you can find time to join Dave and us free worlders for a deep dive into your playing and development and collaborations. I was going to save this comment for the end of the show but you opened the door by saying "for another show".
