2016.02.15 Melvin Gibbs on Lester Bowie

Rebroadcast March 8, 2021.

Melvin Gibbs knows a thing or two about how much freight can be conveyed by a thunderous ensemble moving at full throttle as well as how much can fit into a tiny, near-silent musical gesture (surprise: they are exactly the same). Now, how much of that did he find out while checking out the likes of Lester Bowie?
