Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from May 9, 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.

In the liner notes to her 2007 record, A Long Story, Anat Fort states that she is "[s]itting in my Brooklyn apartment today..." Noa Fort's bio on her website states that she arrived in New York in 2013. I suppose there's a family resemblance among the photographs of the two. Sisters, perhaps? Cousins?

Good afternoon Dave and people of a free world. I don't think I ever read bell hooks. Her books are not that common over here. If my fave bookshop somehow survives and reopens someday, I should fix that (no way I'm going to Amazon except to get the details for ordering from an actual bookshop)

Virtual, of course (TCNJ-The College Of New Jersey) still says they plan for a "real" graduation ceremony, when conditions permit (but I'm not holding my breath)
  2:26pm

If they do have an in-person ceremony and you attend, then you *should* hold your breath.

You could order direct from ECM (but seems a bit more expensive).

They do mail order, but the online catalog doesn't capture the store inventory. Mostly it's Arhoolie and similar labels. I like spending money at Down Home.
