2024.03.18 Graham Haynes on Woody Shaw - 3 of 3
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/.

2020.03.02 Graham Haynes on Jaki Byard - 3 of 3
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

Customer Reviews
Great podcast for discerning jazz lovers
I learn something new about my favorite artists every time I listen to Mitch and his guests talk about the music that moves them. Hearing hard-to-find recordings is another wonderful thing about Deep Focus.
Engaging, engrossing, and loads of fun
New York radio personality Mitch Goldman presents archived shows from the vaults of great old NYC [mostly] jazz radio station WKCR. Goldman ‘herds the cats’ and guides the conversations to really interesting places. Great for seasoned jazz people as well as a terrific “gateway” podcast for the jazz-curious (and some of the music featured is uncategorizable). Great as both a concentrated listening experience, as well as great background listening.
My new favorite podcast
Host Mitch Goldman plays super rare recordings and listens to them with music luminaries. Mesmerizing conversations ensue. Want to know what makes great music and musicians tick? Listen to this podcast.
