A mix I put together (66 good cuts in there):

There was once a brief, but powerful, time in our existences. It was a time of lava lamps, black lights, brilliant posters, strobe lights, and various kinds of experimentation. There was a very special kind of music which emerged during this time. It was just as experimental and expressive as the rest of the things which marked this period. Just slip into those big-bell'd jeans and a tie-dyed t-shirt, put on those green sunglasses, climb into my time machine...sitting shotgun, of course...and...we're off...

Insanely super cool setup! If I wasn't a Yamaha guy, I'd be a Pioneer guy, I think :)

Thanks for sharing, and the also the effort you put into your playlists

Hot Jazz Saturday Night is a weekly jazz program broadcast on WAMU, a public radio station owned by American University and affiliated with National Public Radio or NPR.[1] It has been hosted since 1980 (with a short period of suspension) by Rob Bamberger.[2] Each Saturday, from 7 PM to 10 PM, Bamberger plays three hours of jazz, particularly from the 1920s through the 1940s, drawn from his personal collection of 78's, LP's and CD's, and provides detailed explanations of the artists whose recordings he is playing.[3] Some programs focus on a particular jazz performer, often from a discrete period during that artist's career, or a related set of performers, while other programs spin merrily through many difference artists and different eras.[4] The program is extended to several hours every year for “Hot Jazz New Year's Eve.”[3]

when they cancelled the show briefly, we locals basically rioted and got it back haha

Always a blast and I don't think anyone knows more about this period of jazz than Rob. We usually donate yearly on New Years Eve to get a shout out from him - my wife has loved dancing with my Son to this stuff since he was little

Basically hot jazz with Paul Harvey like dude telling you "the rest of the story" in between spins :rflmao:

Ok, apparently this HJSN is a tribute night to Bix Beiderbecke.... never heard of him (shocker!) but digging it bigtime.

Leon Bismark "Bix" Beiderbecke (/ˈbaɪdərbɛk/ BY-dər-bek;[1] March 10, 1903 – August 6, 1931) was an American jazz cornetist, pianist and composer. Beiderbecke was one of the most influential jazz soloists of the 1920s, a cornet player noted for an inventive lyrical approach and purity of tone, with such clarity of sound that one contemporary famously described it like "shooting bullets at a bell”.[2]

His solos on seminal recordings such as "Singin' the Blues" and "I'm Coming, Virginia" (both 1927) demonstrate a gift for extended improvisation that heralded the jazz ballad style, in which jazz solos are an integral part of the composition. Moreover, his use of extended chords and an ability to improvise freely along harmonic as well as melodic lines are echoed in post-WWII developments in jazz. "In a Mist" (1927) is the best known of Beiderbecke's published piano compositions and the only one that he recorded. His piano style reflects both jazz and classical (mainly impressionist) influences. All five of his piano compositions were published by Robbins Music during his lifetime.
