I am really trying to avoid turning this website into a virtual cemetery for the recently departed but there is just so much of this happening as of late that it’s becoming a tad difficult – and more than a little depressing – having all of these RIPs. What can you do… So more sad…

So this week we say goodbye to Ahmad Jamal, among other tunes… 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.
