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.

Viola when referring to plants is a cuitvated hybrid, which kind of sums this music up very well.

What I've heard in the interview / discussion has mostly focused on improvisation but Jason has composed and recorded an opera and works for large ensembles. Can you speak about your approach to those works?

And this duo with Berger is so beautiful.

If I recall ancient liner note history correctly, Karl Berger also has PhD in philosophy. See no mention of that on the Wikipedia page for him.

The improv is so so so beautiful. You gentlemen traveled together, in counterpoint, in parallel, in response. A symphony for two.
