The music is what I usually refer to as post-contemporary jazz, but van Trikt preferred the terms “post-modern jazz and improvised music.” Sadly, this is the only tape I made of the show during one of my visits home from school, but I played the heck out of it for years afterwards.

Artists featured include the James Carter Quartet, Cecil Taylor, Cassandra Wilson, spoken word artist Daz (from the group Daz Tempo, Black Rock Coalition member, and co-owner of Green Skunk Records), Muhal Richard Abrams, and plenty more.

Enjoy.

First was WRTI 90.1 FM, Temple Public Radio (known also then as “Jazz FM” since they played jazz 24 hours a day), and the second was the famous KYW 1060 AM (it’s still hard for me to listen to news without the AM buzz in the background).

These were recorded during the second half of my senior year of high school during a major ice storm that gripped the Philly metro area for several days. Below is an archive of news about the storm and other news of the time, including the attack on Nancy Kerrigan and a massive earthquake in Los Angeles.

Here’s what’s on this short tape:

  • Ice Storm (1/17/94) – 90.1 FM
  • Earthquake (1/17/94) – 1060 AM
  • School Closings (1/18/94) – 1060 AM
  • Cold Weather (1/19/94) – 90.1 FM
  • State of Emergency, etc. (1/19/94) – 1060 AM
