Last week’s Sounds For Sunday playlist featured Monk Competition Winners. This week I decided to opt for MacArthur Fellows, aka the Genius Grant. Hear tracks by Max Roach, Ken Vandermark, Steve Coleman, Jason Moran, Vijay Iyer, Dafnis Prieto, John Zorn, Steve Lacy, Miguel Zenon, Ornette Coleman, Regina Carter and Meredith Monk. And for all you Cecil Taylor fans out there, my apologies. Couldn’t find any of his music on Soundcloud…
Sébastien Hélary co-founded Nextbop in 2009 with the objective of introducing modern jazz music to a younger generation of fans. Aside from music, his other main obsession is food, particularly ramen and other Japanese delicacies.
