2025.11.10 Craig Harris on David Murray - 1 of 3

Breaking new ground requires a willingness to plunge into the unknown.  You don't know what terrors and wonders you might find there.  The risks are concealed until it's too late to turn back.  That's one thing when it's your pursuit.  What about when it's someone else's vision, and you need to lead them through it?  What do you do?  Just dive into the Vast Empty?  Yes, you do if you're trombonist Craig Harris!  He has been doing exactly that with reedman David Murray for nearly 50 years.  The two of them have brought listeners through more outlands than AI ever will.  

 

Craig Harris joins host Mitch Goldman on a quest through the WKCR archives this Monday on Deep Focus.  What's hiding in there?  Live, unreleased recordings of David Murray's Big Band?  His Octet Maybe?  Who can say?  Tune in Monday Nov.10 from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org and find out.
