RoCM Playlist: 26 July 2025
Happy end of July everyone… crazy how fast this year is blowing by…
This week, we start by celebrating the birthday of Fay Victor with a track from her 2019 release. We also delve in to some Horace Tapscott, Arthur Rhames & Charles Telerant, Phalanx, Dudu Pukwana, Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, and Joe McPhee.
And as promised – here is that article on Arthur Rhames as written by bassist Melvin Gibbs called Once, We had a King. It’s a great read.
The playlist is below. 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.
