Live On Hope Street

Live On Hope Street was a music, culture, and news program that aired on Los Angeles radio station KUSC-FM in 1996. On 14 June of that year, host Bonnie Grice interviewed Charlie and Ruth regarding Quartet West’s Now Is The Hour (1996, Verve). The album was nominated for a Grammy the following year. By the end of 1996, Live On Hope Street was cancelled, KUSC reverted to an all-classical music format, and Ms. Grice moved to a different radio station. I’m posting the relevant audio here. The entire show was 30 minutes. Solid, Jackson.In this Substack podcast I listen to albums and cassettes from the collection of my father, the late jazz bassist Charlie Haden.
