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.

stream popping in & out
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey Dave. Your connection keeps dropping out and reverting back to the stream. Just double checking that your streaming computer is cabled directly to your router and not connected through wifi.

(unless you're mixing Bridget St.John in...)

hi Dave and Free world people
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:11pm Linda Lee:

ah! so that's it!
who was that last vocal on the stream ~ anyone?
Avatar 2:11pm Dave Sewelson:

I am direct
Avatar 2:12pm Dave Sewelson:

Let me know if we drop out
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:12pm Linda Lee:

hang on, i think that was Bridget St John! :-D
Avatar 2:13pm Dave Sewelson:

Linda
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:13pm Doug Schulkind:

Goodly.

Yes it was, Linda Lee.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:13pm fred:

Good afternoon Dave and all. I missed Joe McPhee this week, which sucks. But I really liked the dance show I saw instead, all the more surprising for the heavily classical vocabulary
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:14pm Linda Lee:

thanks Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:14pm Linda Lee:

so glad to hear your voices now.

i left tribeca in '81. too soon?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22pm Linda Lee:

oh no. definitely too soon! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:23pm Doug Schulkind:

Couple of drop-outs at the start, but smoov groove since.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:24pm fred:

The talk's great, but I'd vote for music
Avatar 2:25pm Dave Sewelson:

Music coming up
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:26pm Linda Lee:

it's all the human voice & therefore lovable. :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:28pm fred:

I'm so looking forward to the live set
Avatar 2:29pm coelacanth:

seriously. baritone and bass saxes?
the house will rumble.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm Linda Lee:

fabulous.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33pm Linda Lee:

what a pretty key.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:38pm fred:

Weird day yesterday: open doors day at the Paris art school. I love it but don't know anyone there anymore. That proved liberating somehow, I spent more time than ever before chatting with students. I had such a great time cleansing my brain
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:42pm Linda Lee:

tremendous concept! wonderful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:43pm fred:

You should team up with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's slow walk!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:43pm Linda Lee:

collective breath.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Hope you're keeping cool, fred.
Avatar 2:48pm Dave Sewelson:

my brain needs a washing
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:51pm Linda Lee:

so thankful that Cage taught us about sound as music. there's no reason to allow only some sounds as music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:52pm Linda Lee:

sonic experience is so much richer if life is the composition!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:52pm Linda Lee:

thanks so much for this, Stefan!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:55pm Linda Lee:

the birds are joining in here in the catskills & it's quite perfect.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:56pm fred:

I'm so old I think most of them though I could turn out to be a buyer. But to their credit none blew me off when I made clear I had no money, it even cleared the way for talking about what they're doing
  2:56pm David J:

Just joining, hi Dave and all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

hello, everyone! digging these sounds…
Avatar 2:57pm coelacanth∅:

Cage didn't teach me (or countless other people) that
Avatar 2:58pm Dave Sewelson:

Granny and coel....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:58pm Linda Lee:

just as long as we get there. :-)
  2:59pm David J:

Rustling papers?
Avatar 2:59pm coelacanth∅:

right, Linda
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:00pm fred:

@coel: Sure, but some people needed that teaching. I'm not sure which side of that divide I was, but I did need the extra jolt at least
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:03pm fred:

Yeah!
Avatar 3:04pm coelacanth∅:

absolutely,fred.
...i'm trying to remember. i know i was recording all manner of sounds on my panasonic cassette recorder by the time i was 7. i doubt i thought of it as "music" until i heard revolution 9, when i was 8-9.
  3:04pm spodiodi:

sounds great
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:04pm Linda Lee:

we have our innate capabilities & then we have a descriptive language for what we know. not that we're deaf before we can describe what we hear, but language is what helps us feel we're not locked up in our own heads.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:05pm Linda Lee:

so that's good.
Avatar 3:07pm coelacanth∅:

...and validation that what we're doing isn't just the wasting of time by a kid with some loose screws.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:09pm fred:

@Linda Lee: I'm half deaf, and very sensitive to language as a struggle. You get it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm Linda Lee:

yep. sure!
personally i do credit Cage with assisting in the development of a descriptive language for a natural experience of sound. that's not an individual effort anyway, but some people are really blessed with a way to communicate on that level, which, i think, is basically empathic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:13pm Linda Lee:

fred, i was suprised to find out that one of the 1960s' best guitarists, the lead player June Millington, is deaf in one ear. the way she talks about music is uniquely intuitive & holistic. neat stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:16pm fred:

@coel: definitely not wasting time, but the loose screws bit might still stick
Avatar 3:18pm coelacanth∅:

haha fred i'll accept that!
  3:18pm spodiodi:

sax vs window
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:19pm fred:

Thanks for that set. You guys deserve some ice cream
Avatar 3:19pm coelacanth∅:

nice one! first time i've heard one of Dave's guests say that!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:20pm Linda Lee:

argh. sealed windows in summer!! hateful!
Avatar 3:27pm coelacanth∅:

i'm not positive but i think only one 1/2 of a stereo signal is coming through
Avatar 3:33pm coelacanth∅:

it was just that recording.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:41pm Linda Lee:

dead silent here
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:41pm Linda Lee:

ah there we go
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:43pm Linda Lee:

gorgeous!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:53pm fred:

I was totally rude earlier to Granny Spicy Tuna, and wish to apologize for my misbehavior. If anyone can convey my apology, I'd be grateful. No need to make a production out of it: I was wrong, I apologize.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:59pm Linda Lee:

looks like they have an email contact on file, fred. that might be a good way..
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:04pm fred:

I thought that would be intrusive, but I'll go with your insight: can't get worse than now
Avatar 4:09pm Dave Sewelson:

Stefan has left the building
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:13pm fred:

But he's still alive?!
Avatar 4:15pm Dave Sewelson:

Yes....he had to go see the new baby
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:24pm Linda Lee:

fred, i think Granny will appreciate the effort.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:25pm chresti:

Sounds good, still here, kind of..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:25pm Linda Lee:

it's not direct email anyway. Granny will just be notified that you'd like to get in touch & take it from there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:31pm fred:

@Linda Lee: I did reach out; I don't expect them to respond with anything but contempt, which is what I deserve
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:32pm chresti:

Nah-Granny's not like that, fred
  4:35pm Mark R:

Love hearing this live version of "Complete Communion," one of my favorite compositions of all time. Love to know who's playing on this--the original record didn't have vibes, of course.
Avatar 4:35pm Dave Sewelson:

Karl Berger on vibes.....
  4:36pm Mark R:

Thanks Dave--still Gato on sax?
Avatar 4:36pm Dave Sewelson:

Yep
Avatar 4:37pm Dave Sewelson:

Bo Stief-bass Aldo Romano-Drums
  4:38pm Mark R:

I get it--a Euro pickup band for the gig, right? Ed Blackwell's in a league of his own, of course, but Aldo's doing a nice job.
Avatar 4:43pm Dave Sewelson:

ESP put out 3 Volumes...I assume 3 nights
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Karl "Cheese" Berger on vibes!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:45pm fred:

@chresti: They know evil. I'm gone. I'll hang around but won't pollute right people
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:45pm Linda Lee:

glad you reached out, fred. that's all you can do for now. we'll see what happens!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:56pm GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Don't move your ears an inch, more live radio is coming up on your 24-hour Drummer Stream. SOMEDAY MATINEE with Gina Bacon is next. Coming to you live from Nashville, Tennessee, Gina's special guest today is the Cuban indie pop band Sweet Lizzy Project.

Tune in and hang out with Gina! Right here: wfmu.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:57pm fred:

@Linda Lee: I have so much pain there, but I have to ignore it because I don't exist and they do
Avatar 4:58pm Dave Sewelson:

like Doug said...more healing music coming your way......wfmu.org...
Avatar 4:58pm Dave Sewelson:

Thanks to all for listening in and listening out
Avatar 4:59pm coelacanth∅:

fred it's not my business and i may not be aware of something but i believe i witnessed every bit of comment board over the last >5 hours and i think maybe you're overreacting -a lot! anyone who'd think you evil or deserving of contempt based on posts today doesn't deserve your company.
  5:19pm spodiodi:

(late) thanks, Dave!
