Back after a couple of weeks of traveling with a brand new – starting off by acknowledging the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mal Waldron. We have two tracks that feature powerhouse duos – the first being the team of Milford Graves and Bill Laswell followed by a recording of a live performance featuring…

As I am still traveling this week and did not have time to get another show together, we are going to re-air the show from last week. I promise that we will be back with a brand new show next week. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online…
