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 of crazy.
The bad news is that we begin our 3rd year with a tribute to Peter Brötzmann – who passed away on June 22nd. Hard to sum up a career that spanned over 50 years in a 2 hour radio show, but for this show, we don’t just hear his music but also interview segments from Brötzmann that include his views on politics, art, music, philosophy, etc. For those who want to listen to the full interviews, here they are:
They are very much worth a your time.
And 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.
