Felix Grant inaugurated “The Album Sound” in September 1954 on WMAL Radio 630 in
Washington, DC. He spent 30 years as its host and producer. The program featured the
full spectrum of jazz and blues and had one of the widest listening audiences in the
Washington metropolitan area. Most of the interviews in this collection were conducted
live during the program or were produced in the studio for broadcast on the show during
the period from 1965 to 1984.
