2025.11.24 Henry Threadgill on Ahmad Jamal - 3 of 3

Listen to Henry Threadgill's music. What a phantasmagoria of splendors and esoterica must animate his mind! Don't you just want to go to that place? Maybe for a night out on the town? Or a picnic in The Secret Garden? Aren't you curious about where his inspiration comes from? You could read his autobiography, Easily Slip Into Another World: A Life in Music (in fact, we recommend you do), but why don't you spend some time with Henry, listening to music that he loves? This Monday (11/24), for Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus, Henry Threadgill has chosen the music of Ahmad Jamal. Can Mitch find live, unreleased recordings of Ahmad Jamal in the WKCR archives that even his greatest fans have never heard? He hasn't failed us yet, but this one's a tall order. Find out Monday from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org. Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/. Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.
