Favoriting Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson: Playlist from February 8, 2025 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.

Nice to see that Mr. Roberts was artist-in-residence at CSU Fullerton in '22. I spent forty years nearby in Whittier, grew to appreciate the LA/OC suburbs, despite their less than stellar reputations. I hope you had a good time there.

Dean:

Where should one turn to hear you play the soprano?

Yes, i had a good time visiting! My dear friend Professor Rodolfo Zuniga is doing great things at that school.

a few that come to mind, 'Decoration' from my album Tales & Tones. 'Solar Panels' from Stuff I Heard. Actually i play alot of soprano on that album (multiple saxophones and basses actually). Track 1 from The XenDen Suite. Also soprano on many other people's albums - Sammy Figueroa's Imaginary World, Gabriel Viva's Ninth Life, Silvano Monasterios' Unconditional, and Partly Sunny, Robby Ameen's Diluvio, Tito Carrillo's Urbanesence, and more...

Dean:

If you're in Fullerton, you gotta visit The Olde Ship, a fun pub on Harbor Blvd., and Rutabegorz, a funky joint with a hippie vibe.

Thanks for the track recommendations!

Gotta go but happy to be introduced to this music/ musician glad to hear you play all the bases!

That first track on XenDen, Alan Corbet backwards, is gorgeous. Sounds like a hybrid soprano sax and clarinet! Beautiful melody.

Dang, that's amazing. I played clarinet, bass clarinet, and tenor saxophone a very long time ago. Would love to explore soprano. But you know, I'm no musician.

This is amazing music! I'm really glad I tuned in today.

I know Jeff Watts from Branford's early records. Absolutely adore the live one from Bloomington. Is Branford an inspiration, for lack of a better word?
