I recently “read the comments” (in this case, replies to a tweet) about Grayson Haver Currin’s article from this week in Arts & Leisure about how solo guitar has long been dominated by white male figures like John Fahey, but that women, nonbinary instrumentalists, and people of colour are bringing new creative energy and much-needed change to the scene.

Cleanse your soul and timeline with Yasmin Williams, Marisa Anderson, Tashi Dorji, Rachika Nayar, and Gwenifer Raymond’s music and stories.

Remarkable Work of Don Cherry and His Wife and Co-Creator Moki Cherry
The trumpeter Don Cherry and his wife and co-creator Moki Cherry did some remarkable work in Sweden beginning in the late 1960s, according to Giovanni Russonello, who took a look back at their accomplishments. Rubén Blades and Ed Morales spoke about their latest endeavour, “Salswing!,” which highlights the affinities between jazz and Afro-Cuban music.
