(Week 25)
This broadcast is dedicated to and features great jazz and hot dance recordings by those who passed through obscurity on their way to oblivion. The name of the bandleader might be known, or perhaps that of the vocalist, but the majority of these musicians remain anonymous. Alternating with the sets of unattributed pieces are songs by known performers about Nobody, Somebody, or Whomever. The star of this presentation (you might say its Lodestar) is the Ocarina soloist we all know and love.
