“Voice of America” Broadcasts Broom Worldwide
Since 1955, the Voice of America radio network has been sending the message of jazz throughout regions of the globe, from Africa to the former Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc countries such as Poland, the former Czechoslovakia, the Baltic countries (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia), and last but not least, Cuba. Its former one hour show has featured legendary jazz figures like Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Sara Vaughn, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald.
The show has been revamped, adding new jazz host Dan Bindert, Station Manager and former DJ at Chicago’s jazz station, WDCB. For the new show series called, “Jazz from the heart of America,” Bindert recently produced an episode with Bobby as his spotlight guest, presenting Broom in an interview and playing music from “Keyed Up,” as well as vintage and more recent cuts by Sonny Rollins which featured Bobby on guitar.
