All jokes aside, New Jersey is a pretty great place. While it has a lot of offer as a state, it also has a rich musical history that many people remain unaware of. Everyone knows about Springsteen and Sinatra, but there’s more out there too, including a diverse current music scene.
Tune in to Garden State Sound with Evan Toth to explore music with connections to New Jersey. You will hear in-depth interviews with some of Jersey’s best music makers and have the opportunity win tickets to some of the best concerts in the state.
Garden State Sound is hosted by longtime NJ radio personality and musician Evan Toth on WFDU.FM.
“Are you feeling cool? I mean, are you wearing your beret and shades? It’s time for jazz.
While New Jersey is a great place to create music, it really is a mecca for jazz. There’ s no denying it. This week, we celebrate the 90th birthday of the greatest jazz engineer of all time: Rudy Van Gelder. From his recording studios in Hackensack and Englewood Cliffs, Mr. Van Gelder recorded more landmark jazz than you can shake a stick at. Even though his name is on more record jackets than anyone else associated with jazz, join us as we delve through only an hour’s worth of music touched by the golden greatness of Rudy Van Gelder.
There’s no shortage of hyperbole on this week’s episode of Garden State Sound, please join us.” —ET
