Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from March 16, 2024 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.

Going forward with the Smithsonian History of Classic Jazz worked for me-before that I had tried taking Miles Smiles out of the library, couldn't make heads or tails out of it. But going from Rags, Blues, early NO jazz, Louis, Big Bands, Bebop, Cool Jazz, Trane Ornette, it all added up in my head (and I was hooked).

Great show, guys!

Irrelevant fun fact: the datacenter holding the machine the audio streams bounce off to be relayed to all the listeners out there is actually in Manhattan, Noo York City. The radio station in Jersey City streams everything thataway as well, for all the peoples to pick it up from the streaming server.

But yeah, the idea is the same.

Because it absolutely does cost real money to keep that thing humming.

It used to be in Northern Virginia (basically the Washington DC suburbs), but we moved it a few years ago during an upgrade when the new NYC datacenter opened and had super-low latency to the station and to a large proportion of our listeners.

Cool!

You probably know I'm a huge fan of Roon for having made my long-accumulated digital music library really usefully accessible... so the hard requirement for a streaming thing for me is solid Roon reliability, with a fun extra being if it's also capable of acting as a HQPlayer NAA in case I get inspired to engage in extreme and excessive tweakiness choosing digital filters.

Roon is (to me) a total win. The way they add more-complete metadata they pull in to whatever metadata you've managed to tag with, and let you surf through artist/engineer/whatever links you might not even have been aware of in your music now seems completely essential.
