Jazz Roots with Tom Morgan
WWOZ-FM

New Orleans, LA
Tom Morgan is an award-winning jazz historian and community broadcaster usually heard on WWOZ-FM in New Orleans. Recently Tom was unjustly suspended from the air after being attacked in the studio at shift change by another deejay.While Tom’s off the air in New Orleans we have decided to double his airtime on Radio Free Amsterdam and are running his New Orleans Music Show archives every Tuesday and his Jazz Roots show every Wednesday this fall until he is reinstated. We’re also running different episodes of each program on Tuesdays & Wednesdays on Detroit Life Radio.
Jazz Roots 10 begins with two cuts by the Louisiana Rhythm Kings, completing their run from Vocalion Records in Jazz Roots 09, and then turns to a study of the C-melody saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer. Frankie’s heard with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra from 1929 with a young Bing Crosby on vocals, with the Frank Trumbauer Orchestra with Smith Ballou on vocals; and with Joe Venuti’s Blue 4: Frankie’s bandmates include Venuti, Eddie Lang, Bill Cody, and a young Ms. Mildred Bailey
