One Man’s Jazz
In the words of the great bassist, Stanley Clarke, in 2007: “One man’s jazz is another man’s something else.”
Indeed. What one person may consider jazz, another may not. So it goes on this show.
I have veered away from playing much mainstream or historical jazz, because I think this creative must move forward and grow, so I do tend to look for new recordings, new artists, jazz from around the world in all its flavours. Rhythm really gets its due on One Man’s jazz.
The music played might range from Dave Douglas to the Art Ensemble of Chicago to Nguyen Le to Charlie Hunter to members of the Jazz Composers’ Collective to Bill Frisell to David Binney to NOJO, and from E.S.T. to Dave Holland to Sam Rivers, whichever way the muse leads (or whatever the post office delivers). Even singers too — sometimes!
The occasional special pops up now and then. I have done a two-parter on Jack DeJohnette (check the current archives), and Jaco Pastorius, singers, Canadian jazz, Black History month, Joe Zawinul, poetry and jazz, and much more. Check out the list of interviewees under “Guests” above.
And, I always make it a point to try and inform my listeners where to find the recordings played on the show.
So I hope you’ll dig the music on One Man’s Jazz, and check out this web site too. Who knows what this will turn into!
