RoCM Playlist (HBD Sirone): 28 Sept 2024

Today would have been the 84th birthday of jazz bassist Norris Jones – better known in jazz circles as Sirone. Since we feature Sirone quite a bit on the program, we are going to devote the entire show to tracks that feature the bass work of this amazing artist.

Don’t forget that you can listen online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
