The Stanley Cowell Interview

For my guest today it is playing free music with Marion Brown or in Detroit where the spirits of Elvin, Tommy Flanagan and Yusef Lateef breeze by with a word of wisdom. Maybe it was with Rashan Roland Kirk back when Universities like Oberlin College could bring in a Cecil Taylor or Horace Tapscott for a year residency. Bands of younger musicians would form under their leadership. Because there were places to play cats could get loose on the bandstand at Slugs with Charles Tolliver or Jimmy and T...

The Dave Holland Interview

At times in life you feel adrift. Unable to harness the love and the passion that reins inside. When you begin to evolve in any art you start on that far away Oregon Hill with a Hawk flying overhead. Knowing that John Mclaughlins guitar might swoop up and under and around my guests bass lines. Slowly you build security in your own voice and sound so that your called upon to bluegrass country, to the Fillmore West, to Bearsville, to Europe, to a land of sunshine. My guest today is a master of all...

The Harvey Brooks Interview

There are and have been great musicians in every era of every century. They find a way to use the elements around them to be industrious. Maybe it's building your own instrument, have a shack or two to practice in and a drive and closure from spirituality. I do not know what the music scene is like in Jerusalem. But the real question is what it must have been like when my guest was coming into his own with industrious self assured cats who were increasing music sonically and not letting barriers...

The Airto Moreira Interview

When I look back on this endeavor that I have undertaken this will be one of those interviews that I will look back on with great excitement. Airto needed to go to a wedding otherwise we might have kept going. It was a meandering set with the first forty minutes revolving around psychology, fear, doubt and getting lost in a communist country in Europe before a gig. Part II was an introduction to the Khahasiki and all the other percussion instruments that he made famous in jazz via vocal ad-libbi...

The bravest man in the universe used to wake the morning and get his breakfast in bed but then realized its a lot more fun to cross 110th street with JJ Johnson and Stu Gardner. My guest is one of the most prolific musicians in our countries history. He came of age with his brothers who were raised to take care of themselves. Go down to the lake and sleep out at night. Croon some lyrics that a woman's got to have and play hot rhythms with country and western tunes with his pops singing vocals. T...
