I have been a fan of 20s and 30s music as long as I can remember. Consequently, over the past 35+ years I have amassed the vast midden of 78s, LPs, and CDs from which I draw each week's edition of Radiola. A new season of Radiola is now in force, and after the Friday 8-10 ET broadcast on WHCL I edit and upload the program for continuous listening on Live 365. |

Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra
The Kansas City backbeat is the pulse of life and the embodiment of joy. "South" is my all-time favorite record.
Joseph Robichaux's New Orleans Rhythm Boys
The spirit of New Orleans meets swing for the first and last time.
Annette Hanshaw
What's not to love? A jazz angel. Her every record is a gem.
Red McKenzie
The coolest singer ever. Period.
Eddie Lang
Sorry, Django--I gotta give it to Eddie. Eddie played the guitar like he invented it--and NOBODY had his tone. (Honorable mention to Nick Lucas.)

Chicago's premier Sweet and Hot Jazz Orchestra--the very best.
