Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from November 5, 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.

When Science Fiction came out I had no idea who Asha Puthli was but I "think" her pop success had not happened yet.

This is the Che Chen bandcamp page, but there must be many other releases not listed there.

Che Chen:

@WR - I think you are right about that. She was a classical Indian singer but also sang pop music and those disco records happened a little later.

75 Dollar Bill bandcamp page fills in the picture a bit.

Doug Schulkind:

Not sure. Maybe he was there in '82? I was always over on the music end of things with Mr. Dobberstein (who we all called Doberman because he kind of drooled when directing the orchestra and the spittle would go flying all over the first row of the flute section).

Gina Bacon:

Hi Dave, Che and everyone! Sounding great today.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:22pm
Dave Sewelson:

.....HEY GINA!!!!!!!!!
  4:24pm
Che Chen:

Thanks, Gina!

@Doug, that sounds rough. When I was there the music teacher was an Australian guy, former body builder. his name escapes me at the moment. I wasn't in band, but he let me play double bass in the practice rooms while i was skipping my other classes :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:30pm
Doug Schulkind:

Repeatedly in rehearsals while Mr. Dobberstein was working with one section on a particular passage, he would tell everyone else in the orchestra, "Now I want all the rest of you to finger your parts." Then we would all crack up, and he was oblivious.
