About the show

"8:30...A Jazz Podcast”: The name of the podcast "8:30” comes from the Grammy Award winning album by the legendary Jazz Super Group Weather Report, that defined Jazz Fusion music back in the early 70’s & 80’s. With Joe Zawinul on Keyboards, Wayne Shorter on Saxophones, Jaco Pastorius on Bass, and Peter Erskine on Drums, Weather Report set a high standard of excellence throughout the Jazz World. With your podcast hosts, DJ’s Herman “Hollywood” Dawkins and Ray The Jazz Man, these two Jazz Music aficionados have spent years researching the music and musicians of the only American Art Form called Jazz. Through these musical episodes they add their own unique perspective on the music and musicians as they listen and dive into the musical styles of Jazz from Be-Bop to Classic Jazz, Swing, Post bop, Fusion and Vocals. Sit back and relax as the 8:30 crew takes you on an incredible journey through some of the most amazing music created since the beginning of Jazz.
