Saxophone colossus Sonny Rollins has been igniting the jazz scene ever
since he was a kid in the 1940s, hanging out with his mentor
Thelonious Monk. We'll talk with the jazz master about his work with
Miles and Monk among others, and his current improvisatory
explorations. Then we'll visit with New Orleans' own jazz legend, Bob
French, leader of the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, to learn the finer
points of keeping time in the Crescent City.
Airs: September 29 - October 6, 2010
