Yes that's some quick radio stuff I found. The master, far as I
know of archiving radio performers is Tom Konard at aircheckfactory.com. he's been doing that since 1976.
Since I don't follow pop music, I really couldn't make any
comment on the titles you posted, except for recognizing some
and not others.
There's not the really good Jackie and Roy around and hasn't
been for many years.
George Russell was a guy Bob was playing on the jazz show
and it really stood out. Bill Holman does that favorite
track on 'What's New?" but I've said quite a bit about
that before.
Other bands are ones like the Vanguard Jazz orchestra
from the Village Vanguard. Bob Brookmeyer has become a
composition teacher and he has done some things for that
band since Thad Jones and Mel Lewis have passed.
I also like the newer bands of John Fedchock, Bob Minzer
and Rob McConnell. Maynard Ferguson is still touring to
high schools and small venues. A rare find of his called
"The Waltz" I managed to find in the statewide library collection.
That goes through my head on a daily basis for _years_.
We've covered the swing and pop scene but we haven't touched
the classical or ska or folk scene hardly at all.
