Wanna talk trumpet? Roy Campbell spills the beans in this one. The inside stories on Woody Shaw I expected, but Lee Morgan?! Miles Davis?! Ornette Coleman?! Roy Campbell walked the walk and on this show he talks the talk. I am so glad I got him in the chair and that I can share this with you. Not 2 months after this recording, we got the terrible news that he had died of heart disease at age 61. Roy, you left us way too soon.

Phil Schaap's greatest achievement was not his astonishing command of the history of the Jazz idiom or his unrivalled radio programming or his grammy-winning record producing and studio work, all of which have been deservingly vaunted in his obituaries. His greatest achievement was manifesting a radio station that could be a place for the kind of programming that he saw a need for. From the time I was a little kid I loved listening to the radio. When I became a teen, I started really paying

Ronald Shannon Jackson's music was open source. It was not possible to play it correctly without bringing your own voice to it: your background, your proclivities, your vocabulary. And if you didn't have it to bring, the music wasn't going to make it off the stage. Jack DeSalvo brought a musical lexicon to the Decoding Society that was unmatched. When Shannon expressed a mood-- on drums or flute or schalmei or in a composition-- Jack was able to flesh it out in a completely distinct way. Entire

"He sucked all the air out of the room and turned it back into this wonderful... fragrance." That's Ronald Shannon Jackson talking about Albert Ayler, his spiritual avatar. Leave aside the unrivaled, prodigious drumming; the utterly singular style of bandleading; the absolutely distinctive composing. Like Ayler before him, Ronald Shannon Jackson's music brought a spiritual force. It could change the way the world looked-- yes, the way it smelled and tasted and felt. Shannon Jackson died on

The music of hunger: how much soul can you squeeze out of a string and a piece of wood or a hunk of metal? It’s one of the great questions of the music and no one has given a more satisfying answer than Nana Vasconcelos, the brilliant Brazilian percussionist. What a privilege to have bassist Henry Schroy and Brazilian singer/songwriter Negro Leo put unheard recordings of Nana in Deep Focus on Nana's birthday anniversary. #WKCR #DeepFocus #MitchGoldman #NanaVasconcelos #NegroLeo #HenrySchroy
