RoCM Playlist: 15 Mar 2025
Apologies – while I did type this all up, I never hit the publish button on this last Saturday.
Another week and another playlist. This week, another shorter playlist with some longer tracks as we hit up Jerome Cooper, Billy Bang, Rashied Ali, and Albert Ayler. The Albert Ayler track is from a favorite of mine, the soundtrack to an experimental film by Mike Snow called New York Eye and Ear Control. In the wonders of our time, the film is online and you can see it below:
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.
