Notes Roderick Harper was scheduled to perform from 12:20 to 1:10 p.m. on the first day (Thursday) of the 2025 Jazzfest.

Harper was not listed on the WWOZ's list of scheduled broadcasts. His set was broadcast in lieu of Charlie Halloran's. The discrepency was not explained, and Hallorann's set was never broadcast, at least not during Jazzfest 2025.

This was recorded off the radio by Richard Russell, nolataper.

NOTE: Nearly a quarter of this recording is sourced from WWOZ's online mp3 source. Due to an apparent, temporary drop in FM reception conditions at my house, WWOZ's signal dropped out completely a few times AND the signal dropped to mono for a long stretch. To address this I used a 9-minute splice from the station's mp3 archive beginning at 3:56 into Track 5. The last few seconds of that song, all of Track 6 and about half of Track 7 are from a lossy source. Additionally, there is a 14-second splice at 6:05 into Track 7 AND a 5-second splice at 1:46 into Track 8, both from the mp3 source, to address the same issues noted above. The remainder is from the FM radio broadcast.

There's some FM static noise present occasionally.
