2019.07.08 Pheeroan akLaff on Milford Graves 2 of 3

Milford Graves-- percussionist, acupuncturist, herbalist, martial artist, programmer, professor and pioneer of improvised music-- left this world on February 12, 2021. Join me in this celebration of his music and his life in a Deep Focus from July of 2019 with the brilliant Pheeroan Aklaff.  Splendor!

As a special bonus, if I get just one request, I will also post the interview that Andy Rotman and I did with Milford in July of 1987(!).
