Before rock and roll, and after for that matter, Jazz was king...determining cool, setting trends and turning people on to all sorts of different sounds and emotions. On this road trip of The Way-Back Music Machine, we go to 1959 to look at one cool album by one very cool individual. It is a trip indeed. 

And speaking of trips, our road trip for this time is not complete without a stop in Bethel, New York. It is three days of peace, love, mud and music. And as David Crosby so aptly put it, breakfast in bed for 500,000 people. 

Then we visit another king, THE King of Rock and Roll...Elvis. Not a great day to remember, but it should be honoured, the day the world lost The King. 

All that, plus our Beatle moment, charts and wonderful talk on this edition of The Way-Back Music Machine, which also happens to be our 20th show, if you can believe that!
