A rare look inside the famous "Purple Grotteaux" broadcasting place with Radio Legend AL JAZZBEAUX COLLINS, the greatest Radio Broadcaster who ever lived.
Jon Hammond first got to know Jazzbeaux when he was at WNEW 1130 AM in New York and this was during his final tenure at KCSM Jazz 91 in San Mateo CA. Al Jazzbeaux can often be heard still on Jon's daily radio show HammondCast early-mornings on KYOU & KYCY 1550 AM in San Francisco CA. Enjoy watching & listening to the Man! c)2007 http://www.HammondCast.com

  • Jazzbeaux was the greatest! He used to play a New Orleans jazz style version of California Here I Come. Anybody know who did it? Thanks for posting this.

  • Used to listen to Al Jazzbeaux Collins on WNEW 1130 AM in NY in the Purple Grotto. Great voice and unique style. You were never quite sure if he was putting you on or not. Thanks for posting.

  • Was he a beatnik?

  • I sure miss hearing that voice on the radio.
