RoCM Playlist: 01 Feb 2025

Happy February, everyone. I, for one, am happy to bid January a farewell, but if I am being complete honest, I don’t think February is looking all that promising. But you certainly don’t tune in for my negativity, so perhaps I should just keep it to myself? Where were we? Ah yeah…

So this week we hit up two artists from the Clifford Thorton album we listed to last week – Noel McGhie and Beb Guérin. There’s a very cool tune by The Piano Choir (even if the recording is a bit rough), and we round out the show with some tracks from albums we’ve visited on previous occasions.

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.
