On 19 December 1984, the entire duration of Larry Blood’s jazz-centric radio show Out Front, Outback was devoted to the music of Charlie Haden. It was broadcast on the Santa Cruz, CA. independent station KUSP-FM. Mr. Blood made a dub of the show and sent it to Charlie, contained on two cassettes, both of which I found in a box of many 1980s-era tapes from my father’s collection. Side one of the first cassette can be found here. Side two of the first cassette can be found here. Solid, Jackson.
In this Substack podcast I listen to albums and cassettes from the collection of my father, the late jazz bassist Charlie Haden. If you like what you hear, please consider subscribing. I’m writing a book of Memoires about life, death, jazz, slowcore, and survival. The address is joshhaden.substack.com.
