RoCM Playlist: 22 Feb 2025

A big thank you to all of those you donated to KCSB during our annual fund drive. While the drive officially ended last night, it’s not too late to donate by visiting KCSB’s online merchandise store or you can simply donate via Network For Good.

A simple show this week as we listen to song long tracks from Fred Anderson, Anthony Braxton, Roy Brooks, and Cecil Taylor. And we kick off each hour with The Purpose and one of my personal favorites Labi Siffre.

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.
