The jazz series ends with a bang – really a blast from the past. Johnny Zoom, a one-man retro guitar act, will take listeners back to the late 1950s to the mid-1960s. With a repertoire of more than 50 songs, he will bring back the popular surf tunes of The Ventures and the Astronauts, guitar knockouts by Duane Eddy and Johnny Rivers, and the space-age sounds of Joe Meek and Link Wray. Everything is vintage – from his clothes and hairstyle to the PA system. Johnny really zooms like no one else.
