Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from January 14, 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.

I believe "Make Them Dance" was from the first Defunkt album, self-titled. Thermonuclear Sweat was the second album after Kim Clarke came in on bass. I love the Melvin Gibbs/Ronnie Burrage rhythm section.

Was Branford's inspiration for Buckshot LeFonque your work?

GeoSinPhilly:

Another really good version of the Jazz/Funk crossover pretty contemporary with Defunkt is the Luther Thomas and Dizzazz album. It would be nice if you could find something from that record to include in the show. It is pretty hard to find but has a lot of great stuff on it.

I saw William Parker, Hamid Drake & John Dikeman at Cafe Oto a few years back. I believe that John D plays in Holland, do you see him?

I met Lester's widow at a house concert in Berkeley in 2019 featuring Roscoe Mitchell & Tyshawn Sorey.

Did I hear Frank Lowe at The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT? I think I did...

John Dikeman is based in Amsterdam, thought that Joseph might have connected.
