No one has a voice like Ken Nordine, and there's nothing quite like Word Jazz, the audio art he created. It mixes atmospheric sound effects, free-form jazz and Nordine's unique rumbling bass voice, pondering philosophical questions, plumbing the depths of his id, or simply wondering what's in the fridge. In December, Bob visited the 90 year-old Nordine at his house in Chicago, which he's lived in for more than half a century. We'll tour his home studio and hear about his early days in radio, collaborations with The Grateful Dead and Tom Waits, and how he created Word Jazz. [Broadcast Date: February 7, 2011]
