Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from May 18, 2019 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'm listening on a Jerry rigged set up that allows me to stream in my blocked office (iPad, tethered to my phone for internet access, then out to a clock radio), but my impression odds that these recordings are really good sounding.
