2019.08.05 Michael Dorf on Sonny Sharrock - 3 of 3

2022/04/21

This time it’s personal. Many of my happiest music memories are of performances at Michael Dorf’s Knitting Factory between the mid-Eighties and the early-2000’s. Michael must have heard thousands of bands in those years but when I asked him who we should hail on Deep Focus, he answered immediately: Sonny Sharrock. Sonny, who reinvented the guitar to suit his own extravagant purposes every time he played it, left us nearly 28 years ago but he is not forgotten. His music is indelible and we’ve got

2022/04/07

There is no living artist in the Jazz firmament more revered than Sonny Rollins. He is admired for, among other things, eluding his audience's expectations of him. Never was this more true than on July 19, 1985 when he performed a set entirely unaccompanied in the Sculpture Garden at the Museum of Modern Art. Listening to this set, the listener gets to hear Sonny working the puzzles, rebuses, puns and equations that inform his best improvisations. It is as revealing as the glass and steel

Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, Weather Report...

The music I love has porous boundaries. If the audience responds to what they hear, the musicians will give that energy right back to them. If the acoustics are kind, the music will communicate better among the musicians, between musician and audience. But what about the people the artists met that day? And the food they ate and the air they breathed? Can an audience hear all of that? What about the lives people have lived in that place? The love and sacrifice that was made there? And what

If you find your way, you don’t forget having had that experience. Vijay Iyer did a Deep Focus with me on Andrew Hill and another on Thelonious Monk; this time it’s Geri

2017.11.13 Adam Rudolph on Big Black, Mtume - 3 of 3

Deep Focus ·

2022/01/27

The hand and the drum: after the human voice, probably the original musical instrument. But the question tonight on Deep Focus is its possibilities for modern improvisation, outside of the bounds of the Afro-Cuban tradition. It is possible that no one has dived deeper on this question than Adam Rudolph: Big Black with Randy Weston provides an answer, Mtume and Don Alias with Miles Davis have another. We lost Mtume last week so it's a fitting time to celebrate his music, as we do in this Deep Focus
