So we’re finally through my least favorite month of the year in January and into my second least favorite month of the year in February – and on the off-chance you think I am being a tad bit melodramatic, here’s the temperature that I woke up to this morning. Check out that low temp… ain’t…

So while I am still fairly sad over the departure of Marta from the KCSB schedule this programming quarter, I am very happy to learn that longtime KCSB programmer Bernard Hits has returned to the airwaves. Bernard started programming at KCSB – and this is from memory so it may even be longer – in…

Welcome to the first show of the Winter 2023 KCSB programming quarter. So it looks like The Return of CoolMojo will be the only jazz show on the air at KCSB for this quarter, which is both exciting – “We’re Number 1! We’re Number 1!” – and stress inducing – “With great power, comes great…

Hopefully, all of you in Santa Barbara have survived the torrential rains this past week.

We are back with a brand new show this week – hard to believe we’re just two weeks away from the end of 2022 but alas, time is just relentless. Maybe I need to get into the holiday spirit a bit more? I’ll see about next week. In the meantime, enjoy the show and please…

So I would be remiss if I failed to mention that this passed Wednesday, December 7th was the 73rd birthday of Tom Waits – so we have a brief acknowledgement of that major event during this show – in addition to a number of really incredible jazz tunes. I mean, this week’s playlist is pretty…

The playlist for this week, including a tribute to David Ornette Cherry who passed away just before Thanksgiving Weekend in London. 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.
