Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from May 30, 2020 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 was amazed I was able to hurdle over a balcony onto a sloped roof wearing only flipflops, and somehow avoided hurting myself. I haven't attempted that here since I was 17 (and I was wearing shoes back then)>
