The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Jazz in French (Sept. 2023)

Petite Fleur

This playlist takes you on a journey through the golden age of New Orleans jazz, starting from its roots in the 1910s. Featuring legends like Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong, and Sidney Bechet, you'll experience the evolution of jazz from its earliest forms of Dixieland, through the swing era of the 1930s, and into the birth of modern jazz in the 1940s. Let the classic sounds of brass bands and soulful melodies transport you to the vibrant streets of New Orleans.

41. Mother's Musical Diaries - Ep. 41 - Spasty-cus Andy-sticus - August 26, 2025

Hi everyone! It’s been a while…(I know). But I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal things and a great deal of very little down-time. That being said, I’m going to try and give this thing a “go” and keep it going. Rather than try to find a clever theme or anything, I’m returning to my mission statement of just giving you music that aims to “cure whatever it is that ails you” and hopefully that will be good enough. I sincerely appreciate those of you who are faithful listeners. Thank you!
