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.

Weasel Walter seems amazingly open minded. I talked with him once, coming from a central Asian show, and he was very interested about music he didn't master. A seeking mind

Fred, Weasel is just as you say. He's very open minded. I loved working with him. I can't thank him enough for keeping me active on the music scene.
