Roxy Coss
<p>Today’s guest deejay is <a href="https://www.roxycoss.com" title="Roxy Coss"> Roxy Coss </a>.</p> <p>Roxy is a musician, composer, bandleader, recording artist, educator and activist.</p> <p>I have <a href="https://philipdfreeman.com/" title="Phil Freeman">Phil Freeman</a> (listen to Phil’s mix for Genius and Soul <a href="https://geniusandsoul.com/phil-freeman/" title="Genius and Soul: Phil Freeman">here</a>) to thank for turning me on to Roxy when he <a href="https://www.roxycoss.com/post/ugly-beauty-chasing-the-unicorn" title="Ugly Beauty">reviewed</a> her 2017 album, <a href="https://roxycoss.bandcamp.com/album/chasing-the-unicorn" title="Chasing The Unicorn">Chasing The Unicorn</a>. I was dumbstruck at her creativity on the <a href="https://roxycossjazz.bandcamp.com/track/chasing-the-unicorn" title="Chasing the Unicorn">first track</a> on the album, where she improvises with several overdubs of herself. I was hooked, and I became a fan of Roxy and her music.</p> <p>On today’s show, we’ll hear music that is essential to Roxy and a coupe tracks from her new album, <a href="https://outsideinmusic.bandcamp.com/album/disparate-parts" title="Disparate Parts">Disparate Parts</a>, which was released yesterday on <a href="https://www.outsideinmusic.com" title="Outside in Music">Outside in Music</a>.</p> <p>The interstitial music on today’s show is “July” by Roxy Coss from her 2010 <a href="https://roxycoss.bandcamp.com/album/roxy-coss" title="Roxy Coss">self-titled album</a>.</p> <ol> <li>Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers “Free For All” from Free For All</li> <li>Roxy Coss “Mabes” from Disparate Parts</li> <li>Mary Lou Williams “Baby Man” from Free Spirits</li> <li>John Coltrane “Blue Train” from Blue Train (Expanded Edition</li> <li>Roxy Coss “Part IV: The Spirit” from Disparate Parts</li> <li>Joe Henderson “Black Narcissus” from Big Band</li> </ol>

Sarah Wilson
<p>Today’s guest deejay is trumpeter, singer, and composer <a href="https://www.sarahwilsonmusic.com" title="Sarah Wilson"> Sarah Wilson </a>.</p> <p>I listened to Sarah a lot while brainstorming ideas for Genius and Soul. One of her tracks from her Kaleidoscope album popped up on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. Very serendipitous. I became an instant fan and caught up with her two previous albums: <a href="https://sarahwilson.bandcamp.com/album/trapeze-project" title="Trapeze Project">Trapeze Project</a> and <a href="https://sarahwilson.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-an-imaginary-play" title="Music for an Imaginary Play">Music for an Imaginary Play</a>.</p> <p>Naturally, I reached out to her to guest deejay on the show.</p> <p>Sarah will mention that she was part of <a href="https://breadandpuppet.org" title="The Bread & Puppet Theater">The Bread & Puppet Theater</a> in the 90s.</p> <p>If you’re not familiar with The Bread and Puppet Theater, it is a politically radical puppet theater, active since the 1960s, based in Vermont. Some of the puppets are silly, and some are grotesque. I’ve seen The Bread and Puppet Theater once or twice in Boston in the 90s, and it left an impression.</p> <p>I can’t help but wonder if Sarah was part of the troupe at the performances I saw.</p> <p>Sarah’s mix is originally in part an act of meditation during a pandemic. She certainly didn’t expect the conflict in Ukraine to be the backdrop for today’s show. But here we are. I hope today’s show is a distraction from this events and maybe offer some solace for the next hour.</p> <p>Last night, Sarah performed her SFJAZZ debut with her new brass-heavy chamber groove project, Brass Tonic.</p> <p>Her performance will be rebroadcast today, March 12th, at 11AM Pacific.</p> <p>Online access is available by becoming an SFJAZZ Digital Member. Tickets and Info can be found at <a href="https://www.sfjazz.org" title="sfjazz.org">sfjazz.org</a>.</p> <p>The interstitial music heard on today’s show is “Fall Has Arrived” from Sarah’s album, Trapeze Project.</p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejay will be award-winning singer, saxophonist, and songwriter <a href="https://www.gracekellymusic.com" title="Grace Kelly">Grace Kelly</a>.</p> <ol> <li>Sarah Wilson "Aspiration” from Kaleidoscope</li> <li>Matt Wilson’s Arts & Crafts “There Comes a Time” from Wake Up! (To What’s Happening)</li> <li>Henry Threadgill “Official Silence” from Makin’ a Move</li> <li>Myra Melford “Red Land (For Don Reich)” from Life Carries Me This Way</li> <li>Mal Waldron “Warm Canto (feat.
