RoCM Playlist: 13 Dec 2025
A brand new show this week and we’re going back to basics with some foundational artists of the jazz on which we tend to focus.
We have tracks from Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp and Jeff Parker in the first hour, followed by Jemeel Moondoc & Hilliard Greene, Joseph Jarman, Abbey Lincoln and Amina Claudine Myers in the second hour. Good stuff here this week.
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.
