2023.05.29 William Parker on Don Cherry - 1 of 3
Deep Focus - Un pódcast de Small Media Large - Domingos
William Parker has perhaps done more than any musician alive to spread understanding and support for open improvised music. More than that, he is a bassist, bandleader, and conceptualist of the highest order. The sheer volume of projects (including the upcoming Vision Festival) that he commits energy to is simply daunting and the list of noted improvisers he has played with is practically a who's who of the idiom. So which of them are we going to focus on? Are we going to push our luck one more time in the WKCR archives to try to find a live set from the legendary Five Spot of William playing with the mighty Don Cherry? A set William himself has never heard? CAN IT BE?! Ttrust me: you are going to be a fly on the wall with William and me for some heavy, heavy business! This Monday 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD and wkcr.org. Next week it goes up on the podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at mitchgoldman.podbean.com/
