Rhythm on the Rocks

Frizz and Bob pull into Nazarth, feelin' bout half past dead - but then, the amazing debut album, Music from Big Pink, picks us right back up! Join us as Bob drinks Jack Daniel's and Frizz has Rhubarb York Gin while we learn about the long history of names for The Band, their groundbreaking time with Bob Dylan, the legacy of The Last Waltz, cocaine boogers, and what made them one of the most influential groups in American music history.

Frizz and Bob take on one of the greatest debut albums in rock history, Heart's Dreamboat Annie. Frizz cracks open a Corona and lime and Bob pours E.H. Taylor Small Batch as we tell a tale of love, surviving the draft, finding your freedom, selling albums out of a car's trunk, and then making it BIG. Join us as we reveal the identity of the real Magic Mike, Frizz practices her German, we get a little proggy, and dive into the underrated songwriting skills of the Wilson sisters.

Today, Frizz and Bob talk about one of the most underrated figures in music history - "the Lady Who Swings the Band" - Mary Lou Williams. Join us as Bob cracks open a Fat Pug and Frizz cracks open a bottle of 19 Crimes Malbec while we tell you about THE real matriarch of jazz, the light and darkness of the jazz world, her party house, the way she changed the world around her, and how she walked the actual walk.

Continuing Jazz Appreciation Month, Frizz and Bob go all in on one of the most important and complicated figures in music history - Charlie Parker, aka Bird. Bob pours a single barrel of EJ Curley and Frizz sips Glen Moray's Phoenix Rising as they unpack the genius and the chaos of the man who changed jazz forever and rewrote its language entirely. We get into Diz and Miles, contrafacts, the big wins and losses for the jazz scene and... more birds.

For Bob's birthday, we're kicking off Jazz Appreciation Month with Frizz and Bob celebrating one of jazz's boldest, richest, and most emotionally alive albums: Charles Mingus' Mingus Ah Um. Frizz sips on Heaven's Door Bourbon, and Bob pours some Old Louisville Whiskey Company as they dig into Mingus' genius, temper, humor, protest, and obsession. From tributes to the Duke, more songs about more birds, the origins of "cool," and cats with six toes, we unpack how one album honored jazz history while pushing it into brand new territory.
