I interviewed him for a cover story in The Wire in 2009, which he actually remembered — that surprised me a little. He was an early member of the AACM, collaborated extensively with Anthony Braxton in 1969 and 1970, made some beautiful records for ECM and Nessa in the 1970s (you should check out Divine Love and Spirit Catcher in particular), and has really never stopped putting out music. Earlier this year, I wrote about Matthew Shipp‘s New Orbit, a beautiful album that Wadada appeared on in 2001.This year he’s turning 80, and he’s celebrating that with an absolute flood of new work — 20 CDs’ worth, spread across six or seven releases, all on TUM. One of those is a seven-CD box of just his string quartet recordings. That’s one of the fascinating things about Wadada, is that not only is he a brilliant trumpet player with a sound like no one else, but he’s also an extraordinary composer who developed his own musical language, Ankhrasmation. We talk about that in this interview, along with his approach to the horn, his approach to rhythm, which is very much his own, and a lot of other things.If you enjoy this podcast, please consider visiting patreon.com/burningambulance and becoming a subscriber.

This year, Guelph’s Improviser-in-Residence is Douglas R. Ewart of the Art Institute of Chicago, AACM, and Aarawak Records. In this episode of Sound It Out you will hear Ewart discuss his project Crepuscule in an interview with Dr. Ajay Heble that took place the morning of September 17, 2015 as part of the yearly Jazz Festival Colloquium. Ewart talks about the powerful maternal figures in his early life in Jamaica and being inspired by the strength and understanding demonstrated by Thelonious Monk’s wife Nellie, for whom Monk wrote Crepuscule with Nellie. He reflects on the relationship between individual self-respect and group solidarity, and the value of improvising together with a positive valence on diversity. This episode originally aired on CFRU on September 24th, 2015. Sound It Out is hosted by Rachel Elliott who is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. Sound It Out is produced in conjunction with the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation. The show explores whether and how improvised music can serve as a basis for discursive inclusivity, the creation of new forms of shared meaning, and more democratic means of connecting with each other. Sound It Out airs on Guelph’s campus and community radio station, CFRU 93.3FM, on alternating Tuesdays at 5pm.
