About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Funding provided by:

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

One of Claxton's coolest shots is of trumpeter Jack Sheldon. Part of what makes it cool is that Sheldon didn't die from drugs or hard living, but was the featured entertainer at the OCMA's opening.
