Episode #28 of "Jazz Today", aired on KOMO, Seattle January 30th, 1958. Host Bill Coben takes the listeners through the rise and fall of bebop, and the birth of the cool sound in the 40s. Audio quality is particularly rough on this episode, as most of the music was sourced from 78's. This was recorded directly from the mixing console onto a 7" reel of Scotch 190, at 7.5 inches per second in full-track mono. A 1970s TEAC A6300 quarter-track stereo deck was used for playback.

Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
