Read excerpt
This Monday's (8/17) Deep Focus is on pocket trumpeter and global troubadour Don Cherry, a dear, 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.

What makes us love the musicians we love? They do something magical that no one else had ever thought of before. Or the magical thing they do is so outlandishly demanding that, if anyone else had thought of it, they simply would not have been able to execute it.

2019.06.25 Brian Charette on Duke Ellington - incomplete - 1 of 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a beautiful episode of Deep Focus, but unfortunately, only the middle portion of it was recorded successfully. If you have the rest of it, please get in touch with us so we can post it. Enjoy! How is it possible that no one has chosen Duke Ellington as a subject for Deep Focus? Maybe because it's just too daunting; no one has matched his brilliance as an orchestrator, his ability to lead a band, his supreme elegance. Well, that drought ends tonight.
