We’re laying out a hearty jazz buffet for Deep Threes Radio #15, with a sideboard full of sweet rock, classical and electronic treats. Henry Threadgill serves up a delightful coconut dish from 2001′s Everybodys Mouth’s A Book, but there’s no doubt he’s still cooking up some innovative dishes. He’s backing Judith Sanchez Ruiz during an improv dance performance in the first clip. Then Henry is cooking up a storm in a fresh out of the oven performance from May of this year.
Virtuoso Rahsaan Roland Kirk didn’t need to cook with onions to draw a tear. In this 1973 clip, he serves up one of his staples, “Volunteered Slavery” in Bologna, Italy.
You simply can’t pass up the Ornette Coleman steam table. Be sure to heap some “Free Jazz” onto your plate.
Avant-garde sound artist Keisuki Oki treated us to a quick and easy popover during the show. He is also a member of Valve/Memberance. Watch them bring a studio to a slow boil with this piece…

The teachable moment here is to always stick with it, gang - “You Can Have It All”.
Manicmiles tops the whole meal off by whipping up a delightful video parfait from stock footage and Yo La Tengo’s “Little Eyes”. Yummy!
