Deep Focus Small Media Large

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/.

We tend to think of the subjects of Deep Focus as conjurers, as master architects, as grand statesmen, as sonic sculptors, as Renaissance men and women.  But what about when they’re the guy down the street? Or the dad of your elementary school friend?  How does that change the perspective?  
Cornetist Graham Haynes grew up down the block from the magnificent Jaki Byard, one of the all-time great pianist/arranger/educators and one of the most engaging characters ever on the bandstand.  Stories?  Graham’s got stories!    
Join host Mitch Goldman on Deep Focus this Monday (March 3) from 6pm to 9pm NYC-time on WKCR 89.9FM. WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org
