Today on the Houston Jazz Spotlight we are celebrating Texas Tenor legend, Fifth Ward son and Third Ward Don, Arnett Cobb, born August 10, 1918. We consider him the Dean of Houston Jazz because of his importance to the Houston Jazz scene. So we are playing his music the entire show. Arnett Cobb is celebrated around the world and should be a household name in Houston. We start every show with his music and we are dedicated to hipping you to the incredible scene he got his start on and that he help to build.
The Houston Jazz Spotlight is a labor of love by Visual Artist, Jazz Historian, and DJ, Tierney L. Malone.
