2015.10.26 Ben Perowsky on Miles Davis -2 of 3

This Monday night on Jazz Alternatives (6pm to 9pm) Mitch Goldman is joined by drummer/bandleader Ben Perowsky.  They will put Miles Davis fall 1967 tour in Deep Focus with unreleased live recordings.  When Sony put out “Live in Europe 1967,” Pitchfork said, “It isn’t just the best band Miles ever led, but one of the choicest small groups in jazz history… At its heart, jazz thrives on bold, sensitive interaction in the moment, and Live in Europe 1967 represents the pinnacle of that practice.”  That may well be but the whole story has not been told.  We can’t wait to hear what Ben Perowsky has to say about these recordings from the  WKCR archives.

 

Only on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.  Tuesday morning it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/

2019.08.05 Michael Dorf on Sonny Sharrock - 3 of 3

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 the goods to prove it!  In this rebroadcast from 2019, the WKCR archives deliver the kind of jaw-dropping annihilations that make Sonny Sharrock a cult hero to this day.  

This Monday night (4/11) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.  Tuesday morning it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/
