A Free Form 45 Format + Davis, Rollins & Hill

Click the play button to listen

This week, for our first hour, we'll present a free-from 45 format. Spinning singles from this box of mini platters I have right here. Reading the recently released book titled "In with the In crowd, Popular Jazz in 1960s Black America" by Mike Smith, I was reminded that jazz artists in the mid-century were part of pop culture—electrifying dance clubs, permeating radio waves and releasing top-selling records. Jazz 7" singles thrived as a medium to deliver the music to the masses who enjoyed popular jazz. For tonight's show, I'll randomly select tracks and give them a spin, a listen and some radio play. Sit back and enjoy a free-form 45 set here on the Jazz Continuum.
