Roy Eldridge 3

from The Gone Sounds of Jazz with Sid Gribetz · host gribetzsid

WKCR has a long standing tradition of celebrating Roy Eldridge, “Little Jazz”, with a marathon 24-hour broadcast tribute every year on the trumpet giant's birthday anniversary, January 30. Here’s my shift from the 2026 edition.  We begin at the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival, followed by 70 minutes of Roy in the 1950s, including his Verve session with Art Tatum and other goodies.  Next comes a detailed survey of Roy’s association with Gene Krupa (approx 85 minutes).  This episode concludes with a potpourri of various recordings for general listening.
