Radio columnist Richard Wagoner remembers a radio stalwart and gets the scoop on a full-time jazz station.
John Felz began his radio career in 1971, working in the mail room of KMPC . In the small world department, one of his colleagues in the mail room was future KMET newscaster and personality Pat “Paraquat” Kelley, whose father Bob Kelley was the play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Rams.
He moved on — and up — to hold positions in management, including Operations Director, Assistant Programmer, and producer for the morning show. While I am certainly not an expert, I do know that bebop is a style of jazz that’s generally fast tempo, uses many chord and even key changes, and a lot of improvisation. This came about due to a younger generation of jazz musicians pushing the creative boundaries of the genre in the early to mid-1940s. Unlike much of the music of the time, bebop was not intended as being danceable; instead, it was to be heard.
Turns out the rumors were true. AllAccess.Com confirmed that Hayes left the station earlier in June after many years with the station … this being his second stint.
