Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from October 7, 2023 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.

Hey NGH, I thought of you today because there was a food drive at the supermarket, and the volunteers (preppy types) were not even willing to give me the leaflet with what they "needed". A kick somewhere painful was not on the list. I still got them some veggies, but how I hate these fascist-adjacent do-gooders
