Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from October 30, 2021 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.

Favoriting October 30, 2021: Kaleigh Wilder is an improviser and sound sculptor.
Speaking through the baritone saxophone, her music is born of her embodied experiences of joy, spirituality, childhood trauma, and being biracial—not white or black, but both. This duality can also be seen in her training. She is a trained classical musician but one who also studied jazz, free improvisation, and even went so far as West Africa to study Ghanaian music and dance.

Hello Dave. Looking forward to learning of Kaleigh Wilder, honored guest for today.

Hello Dave, Kaleigh and free listeners
The drummer at a show yesterday had an "impro libre" T-shirt

Hi Dave, Kaleigh , Free-Worlders
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:17pm
WR:

Okay, we learned a bit how y'all got to baritone. Bio blurb says classical trained, assuming that was at uni. What led to improv / experimental / heritage musics?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:19pm
Dave Sewelson:

duke....welcome
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:21pm
fred:

@Dave: That was "Elg et la chimie". The drummer is also part of France Sauvage
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:30pm
WR:

Nice. Thank you for the answers. Great that you reconnected to the freedom of inner child. Also great that the AACM and Sun Ra are part of the advanced curriculum. When I was in school, jazz band training was Stan Kenton. Of course I'm older than Dave.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:33pm
fred:

@WR: older? Do you have the beard to prove it?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:33pm

So old no more hair.

I'd put the CD in my car.

In fact... I may do just that.

WR:

Own it? We can get a copy if some one made a copy of the now when the musicians made it. So at most we have a copy of the copy.
  2:39pm
Kaleigh:

Thanks for asking the question! There's a coalition at some universities within jazz studies to include free or creative improvised music in the discourse, or to have musicians from that cannon invited as guest artists rather than just the "Stan Kentons"
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:43pm
WR:

I knew many great musicians have been artist-in-residence and doing master classes and seminars but delighted to learn of programs based or significantly including improvisation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:45pm
fred:

There was research at work around some improvising software (as in a computer improvising music live with a real musician). They got Steve Coleman to try it and he didn't storm out, so I guess it did "something". Not sure where that effort stands now (I'm just a tech guy there)

A friend of mine was to play in a festival last year, biggest audience she ever played for. Lockdown hit in the afternoon, she ended up doing her set (live on a web radio) in front of the crew. Big letdown for everyone

Hi Dave and Kaleigh! Happy Saturday, everyone!

WFMU only infects certain individuals with long term or permanent results. Research still pending on the pre-existing conditions which trigger that outcome.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:26pm

GINA!!!

Yes, a sweet melody. Like Dave said, would have enjoyed if it went on longer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:34pm
fred:

@WR: In my case, the pre-existing condition was sparked by hanging out with metalhead bikers in high school. They introduced me to Kate Bush, which they played at the end of the night to chill out

Hi Free Folks!

One checked bag for free ended well before the pandemic.

Some musicians (like a Yo Yo Ma) buy a ticket for their instrument, but, yes, $$.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:58pm
Gina Bacon:

I've heard some horror stories about traveling with instruments.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:58pm
WR:

We are hearing Kaleigh but not Dave? Curious hearing only her side of conversation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:58pm
Gina Bacon:

Metalhead bikers and Kate Bush are not things I'd normally expect in the same sentence!

Dave, your voice has dropped out!

Welcome back!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:01pm
WR:

At least it was Kaleigh and not Dave that we could hear, we we've heard plenty of Dave.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05pm
fred:

@Gina: That's why I think that experience made me receptive to WFMU. They were tough as nails, Kate singalongs was for later, out of sight. No idea why they let me in, but I've got a talent for that, I guess I'm harmless enough to be irrelevant
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:10pm
WR:

Great conversation today.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:17pm
WR:

Are we going to hear a bari- duet today? Hint hint.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:19pm
fred:

@WR: I'd love that to happen!

Jim Ryan:

O Yeah! I remember catching Pepper Adams with Monk in 1958 at the Five Spot . . . so totally on it! Hi Kaleigh, Hi Dave. Bari Rules!

And how about Leo Parker 'I Cross My Fingers.'

@Gina: Yeah, where else would talking metal and Kate Bush make sense on a free jazz show?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:31pm

Exactly! It's a beautiful thing.

I'm really digging the music and conversation, Dave & Kaleigh!

Hi hi hi!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:44pm

I think it was erased more than lost. Part of it is it couldn't be written in scores
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:47pm
Gina Bacon:

Heavy, Dave!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:50pm
fred:

But person-to-person transmission kept it alive. Problem is that this mode can be selective in wrong ways. I've it seen it getting better though, but ways to go
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:50pm
Jeff Golick:

I think the distinction between written knowledge and embodied knowledge is a really important one to raise up, as the written side has kinda lorded it over the embodied side for way too long, in part as a means to keep certain people out of, eg, the academy. (To maybe radically oversimplify things....)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:51pm
Jeff Golick:

Anyway, gotta got get my laundry. Thanks for the great and thoughtful show!

Cool Braxton!
Thanks Dave and Kaleigh!
  4:53pm
Kaleigh:

Thank you for your comments, Jeff!
Yes, agreed the written side has really co-opted the acquisition of knowledge and left people out of the embodied knowledge. Always working to confront this in my musical practice
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:55pm

I'll be ready over here, Dave! Many thanks to you and Kaleigh for a really great show!
