RoCM Peter Brötzmann Tribute: 1 July 2023

Bybryan 01 July 202301 July 2023

So the beginning of the Summer 2023 programming schedule means it is the 3rd anniversary of The Return of CoolMojo, as we started way back when in 2020. Was it a simpler time back then? No. But when we started, I don’t think I expected to still be on the air 3 years later. Kind…

Unfortunately, the news of the passing of Peter Brötzmann broke after the show was already submitted so we will have to do a tribute next week – but oddly enough, I did throw a Last Exit tune into the show this week. What an absolute run he had… I don’t think we’ll ever see someone…

Lots of cool music this week – the track by Company is really something else and I’ll be digging into more of their work. Also – we celebrate the birthday of the late Jaimie Branch, who would have celebrated her 40th birthday this week. So here’s that playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen online…

Bybryan 15 June 202307 July 2023

Someone was kind enough to send me an invite to BlueSky Social – which is currently one of the many offerings to pop up since America’s answer to Lex Luthor took over Twitter. Bluesky is still in “Beta” so it has yet to officially launch – and I have no invites as of yet –…

RoCM Playlist: 03 June 2023 (Re-air of 1 Oct 2022) and about Iceland…

Bybryan 03 June 202303 June 2023

So I returned from Reykjavik, Iceland and leapt into the week as if we had never left in terms of professional and personal obligations (and jet lag) – the unfortunate casualty being that I was unable to devote any time to producing a show for this week – so instead I am re-airing the Pharoah…

By some miracle I was able to squeak out a show this week in spite of the fact that I am travelling.

So I was in Manhattan having lunch with a with a friend who was briefly in town and I stopped by a record store in the Lower East Side called Rotten Island Records – and I found a copy of the Black Unity Trio‘s ground-breaking album Al-Fatihah. Yes – it’s the recent re-issue, but still….
