It's Tuesday November 11, so it's time for another Swingin' the Blues. Tonight's show is the Peacock Records story. Peacock Records was one of the many independent record labels that popped up in the late 1940s. These smaller companies had a finger on the pulse of what was up and coming and released music the big companies didn't think was worth bothering with. These smaller companies were ultimately responsible for the music that became rock and roll.

Dear Friends,
�This week NEXT TO SILENCE dives into the cool, jagged world of The Lounge Lizards — a band that took jazz, stripped it of its pretensions, and poured it into the downtown streets of New York. Founded by saxophonist, painter, and provocateur John Lurie in 1978, the group bridged the gap between punk and bebop — a mix of Ornette Coleman, Thelonious Monk, and CBGB attitude. Their music was ironic and sincere all at once — sophisticated but never slick.
