Many jazz stations as well as classical stations play long tracks. Growing
up in Southern California in the 1950s, I remember hearing many tracks from
"Jazz At The Philharmonic" on local jazz station at that time. However, as a
general rule, the longer tracks were played at nighttime. When I had a
Sunday morning show, I played tracks from the Buck Clayton Jam Session
recordings as well as Lionel Hampton's "Stardust". I received 2 calls during
the Hampton cut - one gentleman let me know, in terms which I readily
understood, that he did not appreciate it. The other caller told me that he
woke up close to the beginning (he named the soloist) and said that he
refused to leave his bed until it was over.

A few years ago, when Ms. Pasternak played a longer track form an
ex-listmate Steve Barbone's CD (Black and blue), he was surprised and
remarked that radio stations did nut usually play long tracks.
Right now I've been listening to one track from Humph's concert for over 13
minutes!  Last evening's programme, an hour of Humph divided between his
band alone and accompnanying Jimmy Rushing.
If anybody is interested, the link is

Once there, scroll down to a silhouette of a saxophone player and click on
it.  After a short announcement, the programme will start.  It is announced
in Hebrew, but since most numbers are long (the first five took 36+
minutes).
Cheers
