Tom Schnabel's Rhythm Planet

A Tribute to Gil Scott-Heron

KCRW DJ Tom Schnabel remembers the artist Gil Scott-Heron with a 30-minute show including classic and rare tracks and interview segments from 1980 and 1983, not heard since they were originally broadcast on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Tom, KCRW’s first Music Director, brought in the interview excerpts on cassette to create this special tribute. Tune in live and find it here in the archives. Also, check out separate tributes from Jeremy Sole and Mathieu Schreyer.
