RADIO PROGRAMME NO. 1 - HENRY JACOBS' MUSIC & FOLKLORE
RADIO PROGRAMME NO. 1 - HENRY JACOBS' MUSIC & FOLKLORE.......Folkways Label # 3861......Release Date 1955 (includes insert)
Culled from hours and hours of bits from his weekly radio program 'Music & Folklore' which originally aired on Berkeley's once revolutionary KPFA radio station, Radio Programme No. 1: Henry Jacobs' Music & Folklore is a stunningly surreal sonic goulash of brilliantly conceived, tight rhythmic loops & tape collages, ethnic and experimental musics, twisted satirical interviews with Shorty Petterstein (Henry's beat hipster alter ego), phony academic authorities (the muttering Jocko on Raga and politics, imagined Hebrew scholar Sholem Stein waxing bogus on the subject of calypso!) to Berkeley field recordings of Kay Dunham (nephew of the legendary Katherine Dunham) and friends getting lost in an informal drumming session. This is, no doubt, an essential document in the annals of early American oddball recordings.
