2025.01.06 Eric Person on David Murray - 3 of 3

Deep Focus ·

2025/02/09

In the early 1980s, when saxophonist Eric Person was coming up, one big question that was being addressed was how to combine the free-swinging improv of the Loft scene with the beauty and power of a large ensemble. Many fascinating strategies would arrive (Henry Threadgill, Butch Morris, we're looking at you!). One of the first and most thrilling came from saxophonist David Murray. Murray was the emerging heavyweight champ of the tenor sax and he packed his Octet with Big Thinkers, Heavy Honkers,

2024/12/29

Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber is renowned for "never playing anything the same way once." Drawing inspiration from Duke Ellington, Sun Ra, Parliament Funkadelic, and The Art Ensemble of Chicago, in the words of founder Greg Tate, "Our player-ranks include known Irish fiddlers, AACM refugees, Afro-punk rejects, unrepentant beboppers, feminist rappers, jitterbugging doowoppers, frankly loud funk-a-teers and rodeo stars of the digital divide.” Under the baton of Butch Morris's conduction concept,

Deep Focus ·

2024/12/01

The previous time Graham Haynes was the guest on Deep Focus, it was to celebrate his father Roy Haynes’s stunning contributions to Charlie Parker’s performances at Birdland. That alone would have been enough to earn Roy a place in the history books. Now, how about Roy with another wildly different innovator making Jazz history at another musical landmark? So who was the drummer with Thelonious Monk at the Five Spot? We’ll give you one guess!Graham Haynes on Deep Focus with Mitch Goldman

2010.12.13 Craig Harris on Sun Ra, Mingus - 2 of 2

Deep Focus ·

2024/11/17

What a treat! Listening to live recordings of Charles Mingus through the ears of the great trombonist and musical thinker Craig Harris. When Craig was coming up in the seventies, he was enthralled with what Mingus was doing; the daring and imagination were unmatched anywhere. This was a man in his moment. It's easy to see how this would have a bearing on who Craig Harris was to become. Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram

Deep Focus ·

2024/11/03

Here's another Ph.D. topic for you: Miles Davis vs. Ornette Coleman. Both blazingly original innovators lived most of their lives in Manhattan and they were roughly contemporaries (Miles was 4 years older) so they drew from the same talent pool to make up their bands. But across 30+ years of simultaneous bandleading and the hiring of dozens and dozens of sidemen, how many can you think of who toured and recorded extensively with both? We've got one for you: tabla player Badal Roy. And Badal
