Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from June 24, 2023 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.

If anyone comes to Paris playing bass (or anything really) the person to reach out to is Félicie Bazelaire. She's amazing and has all the connections.

I can't stop thinking of the "moon tethered" track. Is an inspiration Annette Peacock?

(Never mind the Poo Kikuchi allusion.I love Tethered Moon.)

Yes poo kikuchi and Annette peacock both!! You nailed it!!!!!
  4:18pm

Very nice! Now if only I could acquire a material object--CD, LP--rather than a digital file of the album...

Ahhhh I didn’t print any CDs or vinyl… just bandcamp release… but it might change in the future, who knows!!

Dean:

I understand the incentives. The problem for me is that files are largely out-of-sight, hence out-of-mind. I have very few (among them, gifts from our own doctorjazz), but a ton of physical objects, the advantage of which is heightened serendipity. I browse my library of records and find stuff I want to hear again.
  4:24pm
Stefan Michaud:

↳ Lim @4:20
I agree with Dean. I buy CDs, but I've never bought a download.

I'm into physical media, but have lots of music on hard drives as well. I find programs for listening to computer music (i like JRiver) organize music and make it easier to find stuff (my physical media organization skills are lacking, though)

Being a librarian, I have some advanced skills at physical organization. We are a long way from optimizing organization of digital content.

Thanks for invoking Stereophile. Not entirely but generally, that rag prompted many double-takes on my part. Same for Absolute Sound: after a year or so, it became unreadable. (Same for The Wire.)
