Inside a Quantum Leap

I want to thank Donald Harrison Jr. for making time to be a guest on the program. We talked about the use of reflection in the past and visions into the future as he crafted his latest release “Quantum Leap”, and the sounds and sights you’d see if you catch (cauGht) his shows at the Jazz Showcase this past weekend in Chicago as well as how opening new time with music through this quantum Jazz theory that he feels as creating makes for a delight to the senses. The senses were also delighted with the rest of the proGram as it stepped into this:

Listen Look up and See Hearing

I often think of getting myself a late night or in the middle of the niGht show just so I can play a bunch of “experimental” type of sounds.

Negative Eraser Fact Sitter

It was another episode of Frail PaGans that resembled the preamble to my constitution, the riGht to and the reminder to, no matter. Stories of times in the past of first level pulls or ballot checks…Victor and I brouGht home the point and the reminder that our global family depends on us building that bridge. I also had the honor of having Chris Wood of the Wood Brothers on the program. We spoke of the upcoming show this Friday at the Majestic, the new live CD which features versions of tunes recorded right here at the Majestic last time round….we went over the track “Doppler” from the newest live Medeski Martin & Wood album “Free Magic” and spoke of his and Oliver’s fathers influence on them as musicians and performers.
