RoCM Playlist: 08 Mar 2025

Bybryan

Quite a week in the world of living in a 2025 reality. Not sure what else to say about it all. At least we still have music.

A quick ‘n dirty show this week as we say goodbye to Roy Ayers, who passed away last week at the age of 84. We also hit up some Peter Brötzmann in the form of Last Exit. We also have some great tracks by William Hooker, Jeanne Lee, and Marzette Watts to round things out.

Here is the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
