2024.01.22 The Don Cherry Tapes with guest Steven Bernstein - 3 of 3

Tonight's Deep Focus (Jan. 22) is on Don Cherry, a wonderful and deeply missed friend of WKCR.  Back in the Eighties, Don was a frequent guest on Mitch Goldman's show.  Don would guest DJ, talk to the audience, bring guests... It was an ongoing Eighties NYC Don Cherry party.  And if there was a blank cassette handy, Mitch would make a recording.  The tapes got tossed in a box and ended up deep in storage.     Tonight Mitch and his guest, the bandleader, slide trumpeter and bon vivant, Steven Bernstein are blowing the dust off of those tapes.   Will they play?  What's on them?   What was Don Cherry's voice like? What kind of music will he play? What sort of stories will these tapes tell?   Does he have additional guests?   Slow down!  All will be revealed tonight on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD and wkcr.org.  Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/   Photo credit: Mitch Goldman 2024.   #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #StevenBernstein #DonCherry #DeepFocus #MitchGoldman #JazzInterview #JazzPodcast
