The Father of American Pop Music Turns 200
Stephen Foster’s songs became ubiquitous—people sometimes mistook them for folk songs even during his lifetime—and were performed everywhere from back porches to opera houses, in every genre imaginable.
“The melody just gets so deep down in you. It’s like the trunk of a tree, or the roots of the tree, and then you can start climbing around up there.”

at roulette in #brooklyn, tribute to avant-guitarist #DerekBailey with #JohnZorn cheerleading rotating all-star #improv #jazz crew through duos/trios improvising in 5 minute miniatures, often tumbling from extended technique flutters into little wondrous non-forms. always ear-opening to hear #BillFrisell get out/weird, as in deep guitar trio with #MaryHalvorson & #WendyEisenberg, telepathic duo with bassist #BrandonLopez, trio with vibraphonist #PatriciaBrennan & saxophonist #MatanaRoberts.
