RoCM Playlist: 15 Apr 2023

Bybryan 15 April 202314 April 2023

So here we are – the start of another quarter at our new time slot, which was our old time slot, 4pm on Saturdays. Kind of happy to be back in this slot, to be honest. Hopefully, this new time slot works for you all as well.

Couple of sad notes to start off with as we have tributes to Harrison Bankhead and Kidd Jordan as we lost those two greats this past week. But we also visit a classic free jazz tune and some other great tunes as well. And we kick off with a quick nod to Herbie Hancock, who celebrated his 82nd birthday last Wednesday.

So here’s to the new quarter – and one more quick note – I want to welcome back two additional jazz show that have returned to KCSB-FM – Marta and her show Bright Moments and Julian’s show An Old Kind Of Love. Happy to no longer be the lone jazz show on the air at KCSB-FM.

So with that, here’s the playlist for this week. Don’t forget that you can listen online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.

So I was in Manhattan having lunch with a with a friend who was briefly in town and I stopped by a record store in the Lower East Side called Rotten Island Records – and I found a copy of the Black Unity Trio‘s ground-breaking album Al-Fatihah. Yes – it’s the recent re-issue, but still….

RoCM Peter Brötzmann Tribute: 1 July 2023

So the beginning of the Summer 2023 programming schedule means it is the 3rd anniversary of The Return of CoolMojo, as we started way back when in 2020. Was it a simpler time back then? No. But when we started, I don’t think I expected to still be on the air 3 years later. Kind…

Honestly, July 4th was kind of a bust this year. In addition to it being on a terrible day – who really wants to party on a Tuesday of all days – it seems some of the locals on Long Island decided to go nuts with the fireworks until fairly late into the evening. I…
