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.

this is ecstatic music. I'm listening with my daughter and marveling
  2:53pm
Dan Clucas:

LaDonna, thanks for your perspective re starting relatively late on an instrument, particularly a stringed one. It corroborates how I've felt about beginning the violin at age 53! Even though I've played music my whole life, the violin is a brand new universe to me in many ways and I want to keep it that way. I would offer the same encouragement to anyone who wants to begin a new instrument (or anything at all) later in life.

mackeral:

agree 100%, Dan. to begin a thing really is wonderful

Dean:

Was the basis for "Bonaparte's Retreat" Paddy Maloney's tune for The Chieftains?
  3:23pm
LaDonna:

Naw.. just some good ole military swinging
  3:23pm
LaDonna:

wow, this sounds like the flies on Dave's veranda!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:24pm
coelacanth∅:

the original bonaparte's retreat tune goes back to the 1800s at least, i think "american" folk
  3:24pm
LaDonna:

yes.. absolutely.. a great fiddle tune!
  3:25pm
LaDonna:

atomized ascension here... Michael Evans on theremin... ascendant this is very..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:25pm
coelacanth∅:

i first heard it by Kay Starr!
- pretty different!
  3:26pm
Dean:

I bet Maloney integrates the original in his 14-minute composition. Ivesian, maybe.
  3:33pm
LaDonna:

You are listening to I am the guilty by Marwa Hefzalla.. on Soundcloud, and from there you can hear all kinds of interesting Arabic Music!

I used to ask about upcoming shows, but that wouldn't be honest, as I booked 54 tickets for contemporary dance shows over the coming year, so there might be a conflict rhere
