Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from July 2, 2022 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.

Wasn't Kwame Braithwaite booking those shows at Greenwich House? He was one of the founding members of AJASS. The AJASS documentary was just screened at Sista's Place last week. It's a small world.
