Here's a previously undocumented little program dating from the late 50s or early sixties. "Bobby Hammack" was a pleasant fifteen minutes of jazz performed by an in-studio combo and originally broadcast on ABC. Program 211 of the series as it was heard on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service has "Why Do I Love You?" as the first song.
Bobby Hammack was a talented keyboardist who played with the Red Nichols Five Pennies after World War II. At the time this series was broadcast, Hammack was working as the musical director of ABC-Paramount records, making arrangements and backing many of the labels hits of the time. Some of his work has been picked up on by modern-day Lounge music enthusiasts; you can read a brief bio of him at the Space Age Pop website. The show was digitized from an original micrgroove AFRTS vinyl transcription, which also includes "The Search" program 1 and part two of "Jim Ameche Pops Concert" program 1. There's no date in the disc matrix, but the label has some dates in 1961 and later. Thanks to Michael Utz who helped me purchase this group of discs for my collection. If you enjoy the show, let me know - I have several more I can post on occasion.Version: 20240320
