Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t not tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

Do you know who this fellow is? He’s vibraphonist Cal Tjader, famous in the 1960s and ’70s for his Latin jazz fusion music. So what is he doing headlining the Rapidly Rotating Records playlist? Well, listen to the final segment of this week’s show–in which we celebrate Spring–and you’ll find out! In other segments, we’ll go rolling along, do some touching–all completely appropriate–go to the opera, and hear some songs about a variety of things. There’s lots of great music and interesting information so set aside an hour with your favorite beverage and prepare to be transported back to a different–and we think better–musical era. Just click the link above to listen streaming online and/or download for listening at your convenience.
