This Monday (5/1) Jazz Alternatives presents Mitch Goldman’s Deep Focus on Andrew Cyrille with guest Daniel Sadownick.
Take a stroll through Andrew Cyrille’s discography. The range of his work across the last 60+ years is practically gasp-inducing. Admire How many of the hundreds of sessions that he has anchored in that time represent the leader’s best works. Weigh the sense of anticipation you feel when you see him taking the bandstand, the certainty that you are about to be led through a quarter that no one has ever visited before, not even him. This is a musician of great consequence.
Percussionist Daniel Sadownick knows a thing or two about the transformational power of music. He studied with Cyrille and will share his first-person insight with us.
Hey, did anyone remember to check the WKCR archives for astonishing, unknown live recordings? Oh yes, we did. Oh yes!
Monday night from 6pm to 9pm EDT on WKCR 89.9FM in NYC, WKCR-HD, and wkcr.org.
Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com joining hundreds of other episodes.
