Dreaming of the Master

Amiri Baraka was a regular guest on New Day Jazz for many years. Between 2007 and 2014 he appeared dozens of times. This archive comprises the majority of his broadcast media commentaries and interviews in recent years. I checked that. In addition, Baraka and I did many public events together, mostly in the San Francisco Bay Area, usually at the Koret Auditorium (some of which is available on youtube), but also Yoshi's, most often in collaboration with Roscoe Mitchell. Like many of you, I was greatly taken aback by news of his death. Over the coming months, I will invite back on to the program many of our regulars, offering tributes, memories, and so forth. Of course, there is also a vast array of private recordings I have made from the many projects Baraka and I worked on together, many of which will be edited for presentation in the near future and, with permissions granted, included in future broadcasts. This afternoon's broadcast is dedicated to his memory and vision.
