Jazz Collective #3

The Empty Foxhole

Jazz Collective #3
1/29/16

I figured out a new way to search the review archives, which go back 15 years or more. It helped me build a show of drum-led duos and jazz violinists. I made mistakes like front-announcing the wrong song titles a few times, but overall the show flowed pretty well.

Hour 1: Starts at 9:55 so you get a few minutes of Mitch Lemay. Then I get percussive with Max Roach’s M’Boom, Idris Muhammad, Wadada Leo Smith & Jack deJohnette, Walt Dickerson. I enjoyed this hour a lot, it was very percussive and exciting.

Hour 2: Test, Weasel Walter & Chris Pitsiokos, Joe McPhee.

Hour 3: David S. Ware, Joseph Jarman, Anthony Braxton, wrapping up with Ornette Coleman. More instrumental this hour but very rhythmic at times.

Hour 4: Joe Venuti, Billy Harper, Rob Mazurek and Exploding Star Orchestra.

Here’s the playlist.

Each mp3 is 70 minutes long and starts a few minutes before the hour, and ends a few minutes after.
Streams will be available until February 12.
