2024.03.18 Graham Haynes on Woody Shaw - 2 of 3
Deep Focus - A podcast by Small Media Large - Sundays
What confers greatness? There are many pathways, the most obvious being distinctive playing. Are there others? What about brilliant composing? Or inspiring bandleading? Or creating your own sound? How about honoring the tradition while still being blazingly original? Or just going your own way, whether anyone else is on that path or not? Achievement in any one of these categories will bring listeners' admiration but few reach the heights in all of them. Those are the heroes. This Monday (3/18) cornetist/composer Graham Haynes joins host Mitch Goldman for a Deep Focus on trumpeter Woody Shaw. Jewels of the WKCR archives shall sparkle. On WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org. Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.
