Ep #99 with Milford Graves - A Celebration (part 1)

Milford Graves was a master drummer, an herbalist, acupuncturist, martial artist, teacher, scientist and scholar. I was extremely fortunate to meet him at Bennington College in 1974 and soon began to earnestly study drums and rhythm with him. His wide ranging approach to life and learning completely transformed my life. He was truly my mentor. He was also greatly loved and respected by so many people. Milford passed on Feb 12, 2021 and he and I had been planning to do an episode on The World Fusion Show but unfortunately time ran out. Please enjoy this Part 1 of our 2 part Celebration of the life of Milford Graves which contains memories, stories and reflections from many of his friends and students. Feel free to share this episode with anyone who you think would appreciate this tribute.

Ep #101 with Milford Graves - A Celebration (part 2)

Milford Graves was a master drummer, herbalist, acupuncturist, martial artist, teacher, scientist and inspirational force of nature. He was my mentor ever since I met him at Bennington College in 1974. I studied drums and rhythm with him and he instilled in me a passion for World Music and native plants. I owe Milford a debt that I can never repay. He touched so many people so deeply and some of his students and friends share their memories of him on this episode. He passed on Feb 12, 2021 and we all miss him dearly. This episode is Part 2. Part 1 is episode #99. Please share with your friends and people who knew and loved Milford Graves.

Ep #101 with Milford Graves - A Celebration (part 2)

In January, 2014, I recorded master drummer Johnny Yuma.  He was playing trap set, I was playing electric guitar, and Miri Wolf was playing percussion.  Today (3/21/14) I added pedal steel guitar, and now the instrumental seems complete.  If you are feeling moody, Johnny's drums will heal you through and through...

Sad Beauty

This was recorded live in January of 2014.  I am playing the guitar and singing, Johnny Yuma is the supernatural drummer, and Miriam Wolf is adding percussion effects and joyous spirit.  Live improvisation, first take, just two room mics, no overdubs, no studio tricks.  Real music, the way it is supposed to be...
