The Major Scale pays homage to the one of the most innovative artists America has ever produced, Cecil Taylor. As a bedrock of the avant-garde, Taylor’s output never looked back, progressing ever forward with originality and tenacity. Educator Matt Gorney joins us to discuss this idiosyncratic composer and share memories of the time his group, Civic Minded 5, booked Mr. Taylor for an unforgettable concert that is still talked about today.
According to Vanity Fair a new wave of jazz is in full bloom across the globe and Sam Friend is a key part of it. Somewhere between New York and New Orleans, Friend gathered a style that puts him at a crossroads of Randy Newman, Ben Sidran, and Mose Allison. Vocal, quirky, reflective, his unique sound is best heard to be appreciated..
