Route 66 celebrates a time when blues, jazz, and R&B were generally on the same page, often in the same song, and always on the same jukebox. Our primary focus is on the music of the Jump Blues Era of the 1940s, which blended into the early Rock & Roll & R&B Era of the 1950s and how those styles and artists have evolved through the years. We also bring you jazz from the era along with the occasional page from the Great American Songbook. In addition to our live show, we produce a one hour podcast that focuses on our feature of the week.
John Askins is the third host of Route 66, following in the tire tracks left by the show’s founder, Mike Vinyl and the late Jim “Frosty” Frost.
