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.

That would be fantastic. (As is the case just now with Mr. Downs!) Maybe Chase, too, one day?

You're correct. July 17, 2021. Guess who wasn't able to listen that day? Yours truly. I'll check out the archived show.

I so wish I'd known about that show. I've been to Yoshi's many times, but I missed that gig.

Just found Cecil Taylor at Yoshi's, July 3, 1993, with Rashid Bakr, aka Charles Downs

I dropped the needle across the YouTube from Yoshi's. Sounds like sticks to me throughout, though as Charles mentioned he has a light touch. Some of the cymbal work sounds brushed.

I realize it makes no sense, parsing it as "glad we picked a favorite David, J". That was a long running joke on earlier days of the drummer stream when a bunch of Daves joined. You know what it means when you have to explain a joke
