Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from July 15, 2023 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 July 15, 2023: Alex Greene’s keyboard work was a distinctive feature in the original Reigning Sound, but his curiosity takes the Memphian far beyond garage rock:
composing jazz for theremin and film with the Rolling Head Orchestra, improvising beat harmonic soundscapes with Deepstaria Enigmatica, and moonlighting in Dave Soldier’s experimental combos when in New York.

memphis total area: .09 square mile.
for every 100 females there are 130.4 males; but the total population is 109 people.
nobody there live below "poverty level".

Speaking of Dave Soldier, Vicki posted the video for the live version of the most unwanted song this week. If WFMU needed an anthem, that would be it

i think he's talking about memphis tennessee now though. and that venue pictured on the crosstownarts site is probably bigger than the whole town of memphis nebraska.
i don't know about the music scene in memphis nebraska. i think maybe Alex was pulling our collective leg about being there.

i think they send all 70-year-olds to the glue factory, so most of them leave town well before that.
