ANFTD #57: Marilyn Crispell


Pianist and composer Marilyn Crispell joins Dave Douglas to discuss her music, collaborations, composition and her life as a self-described “traveling bum.” This brilliant musician describes her own personal and spiritual transformation upon hearing John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. And goes on to talk about her education and her work with Anthony Braxton, Reggie Workman, Barry Guy and many others. Includes music from many of her recent collaborations with musicians as diverse as Gunhild Seim and David Rothenberg, Tanya Kalmonovitch, Harvey Sorgen and Joe Fonda, Raymond MacDonald, and Tsiji Muñoz.
