85 years ago WKCR-FM began broadcasting with the recording &quot;Swing is Here&quot; by Gene Krupa, featuring Roy Eldridge, Chu Berry and Benny Goodman. WKCR, Phil Schaap&#39;s home, was where the Hot Club of New York began, and Matthew &quot;Fat Cat&quot; Rivera continues to host the Hot Club on the Air every Thursday. Join us at the Hot Club on October 7th for a special shellac listening extravaganza featuring hot records that tell the story of WKCR&#39;s jazz programming in the early days, including the first broadcasts of Thelonious Monk!
