2024.11.25 Leon Gruenbaum on Burnt Sugar - 3 of 3

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, this polyglot throng becomes the universal translation device of AI's disembodied dreams.

 

We hear what you're thinking: "The concept is great but what happens when the rubber hits the road?  Can they really do it on stage?"  Let's answer that question on Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus.  And who better to listen to the music with than BSAC's own samchillianist Leon Gruenbaum?  

 

 It's all happening this Monday (11/25) from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.  Or join us next week when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.

2017.04.17 Graham Haynes on Roy Haynes with Thelonious Monk - 2 of 2

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 tonight from 6pm to 9pm on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.  

 

See you on the radio -

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

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.
