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.

Thanks, Dave. My familiarity with the sarrusophone is not what it should be, apparently.

That was beautiful! I really wish Robin put out an album every year. Or every two years, at least. She is unique in American music, IMHO. And the bassoon pairing was perfect.
  2:45pm

Thank you! I totally agree. She is my favorite singer/composer. Everyone should hear her

My computer's dictionary says: early 18th century: from French basson, from Italian bassone, from basso ‘low’, from Latin bassus ‘short, low’.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05pm

@Dave: I should find a way, it's just me being stubborn about smartphones. I once got into that place for a sold out dance show by showing up hours before to beg for a ticket. They took pity (I had been working for 30+ hours straight before, so looked bad), then I spent hours walking around the lake so I wouldn't fall asleep. I was younger then though. Kicker was that at the last minute they told me I had been given a ticket meant for a dancer I did admire (bad) and said I'd have to just seat on the edge of the stage instead of a seat (great!)
