Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from January 13, 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.

Shelly, can you sort of improvisationally do a run through your entire vocal range, just lightly, just for fun, and riff ?? If so, Thanks very very much! Otherwise, sorry for the

i used to find irwin's jazz selections to be pretty conservative, strange enough
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:00pm
tom tom the pipers son:

what about shelley and ballads a la bailey?

Irwin's jazz programming does seem to be conservative, relatively speaking, but it helps to know that Sun Ra is just outside the perimeter.
