Bob Parlocha was a jazz radio institution. He began spinning disks
for KJAZ-FM over four decades ago. After the demise of KJAZ, Bob began syndicating,
Jazz with Bob Parlocha through the newly developed WFMT Jazz Network. This program fillled the late night airwaves in many cities
across the USA. Jazz with Bob Parlocha continued that KJAZ feeling for twenty years until Bob's death in 2015. Ironically, it was
not carried on KCSM-FM, the de-facto KJAZ replacement in the Bay Area, until several years after its debut. Unaired programs continued
to be broadcast after Bob's death, supplemented by contributions from KCSM on-air staff until WFMT decided to launch
Jazz Network (with Chicago-based announcers), which spelled the
end of Jazz with Bob Parlocha. |
